Chris Stuckmann reviews Glass, starring James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Samuel L. Jackson, Spencer Treat Clark, Charlayne Woodard. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
I liked how the first act of the film is focused on David Dunn, the 2nd act on Kevin and the 3rd act focused on Mr Glass. Mirroring the entire trilogy
Good catch
Norwich City Central +
Yeah... kinda the problem of the film.
Where are you?? Let’s be having you!!
"mirroring" i see what you did there.. nice!!!
One of my favourite moments was when Bruce Willis kissed his wedding ring before facing The Beast. It was a great callback to the opening of Unbreakable.
DoctorXander I just posted a comment talking about this exact scene! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed that beautiful moment!
@@curlyfried3117 Truthfully I was so miffed at the ending that I forgot about that moment and how it made me feel for a few hours afterward.
@Bruno Brant right before he went into the final battle, while gearing up in the room with his belongings in it.
This scene would have been a billion times better with the Unbreakable theme in the background.
David Dunn is forever my favorite superhero bring him back pls 🙏
Bruce Willis : Why I have to come back to shoot this scene? I thought we've finished editing.
M. Night : Believe me Bruce, we'll need it in 20 years.
Lol, I'll believe that even though I know it's not true.
@@Brandon.S.Brooker Mark Wahlberg once gave an interview that they did something similar for The Happening as well lol
They call me Mr. Shyamalan
In my mind that's what happened and it was beautiful! 😍
@@omgmacy haha!!
First name Mr,
last name m*****f*****g Glass nigga
Unbreakable - Is about David winning
Split - Is about Kevin winning
Glass - Is about Elijah winning
shane white your not wrong
Elijah won but the film didnt do his character enough service beforehand
If only Marvel had a series on the monthly for each of the three.
Dub that could happen Disney made Unbrakable and coproduced this film with Comcast so they would own partial rights to Kevin and full rights to the other characters. It’d be interesting
thats why it is named glass i guess
"You never never take someone's right to express themselves through an art form away."
One of the greatest statements of Chris' RUclips career.
Nobody is trying to take anyone's rights away. Kind of an overboard statement for a reference about trolls saying mean things on the internet.
@@cymbol73 Well considering how James Gunn was fired...
I need this quote framed on my wall
@@cymbol73 Exactly. Basically, people crying, "don't be mean to me just cause my *'art'* sucks ass" lol
It's funny how many art programs do exactly that. They steal people's creative energy.
Go back and watch Split. Dennis dropping the flowers off at the train like a funeral and then invoking the beast makes A LOT MORE SENSE now after seeing Glass.
Watch unbreakable again, david dunn touches a woman on the train station, he sees a vision of abusing her son aka kevin. Crazy
BlakeyB wasn’t at the station was outside the stadium where he works right before he approaches the drug dealer after touching him
@@BlakeyFIFA You don't know what he saw.
Crazy!
One of Glass' final lines is about how this isn't the climax/showdown, it's actually the origin story.
This isn't the main character dying in a pathetic way, this is the main character's dad being shot in a dirty alleyway. Glass, Horde, and Overseer are the martyrs that inspire and drive an upcoming world of heroes and villains. This is the origin of supers, and new heroes seeing the clover society drown one of their own in a puddle will put them on guard and position them in opposition to that shady group.
That's the Shayamalan twist. You thought this was a full superhero arc. But it didn't end like one because it was actually the opening incident before the story really begins. Normally 3 full movies aren't devoted to such a small part of a story. This microscope view of things is what made this story different.
While I think it's cool being a origin twist, I don't think the movie really pulls it off. There is no set up to build new heroes and I don't buy a vital video being a catalyst for this un this day and age.
Exactly why I love this movie a lot more than most.
I said this before, I’ll say it again - Mr. Glass, you’re fooling nobody disguised as “theblazer” 😎
Martyrs? Bruce Willis was drowned in a puddle by a regular guy and put up little fight. How is that supposed to inspire others? It would be a good idea for an ending if Shyamalan hadn’t given the three ‘martyrs’ such weak deaths. One guy died from simply being pushed whilst another was just cheap-shot while he was distracted and the other drowned in a puddle. Yes, drowned in a puddle. Let that sink in. He drowned in a puddle. Pathetic.
@@johnnyfreespeech5815 ur an idiot water is his weakness like kryptonite is superman's lol they literally tell you this in 2 of the movies
I like how he pointed out that M. Night self financed this film and Split and most don’t know he hired most of the cast and crew based on films and tv shows he had been watching at the time of writing his projects. It’s so inspiring to see an artist say no to the norm and go his own path and he’s giving many of his workers a shot they normally wouldn’t get.
Because they're not satisfied with the end product.
Because they're cowards.@@fightingmedialounge519
Respect!
This is why Shyamalan is my inspiration and hero for the art of Filmmaking. He takes the risk and says screw you to everyone because he wants to do it.
David Dunn is forever my favorite superhero bring him back pls 🙏
James McAvoy is overdue an Oscar. Also is there an Oscar for Shymalaan for The Biggest Balls?
That scene at the end where David’s son sees the person behind him watching the video of his dad bending that steel bar and he smiles with tears in his eyes. That’s a great scene and it gets me!
omg same i cried. This man beside me cried too.
And it showed that clip from Unbreakable showing David signalling his son to keep quiet 😭
Yes! The feels. That actor did great as David's son. And also where he remember when his dad signaled him to keep his powers and alter ego a secret at the table in Unbreakable.😥
And now, here he is, letting the world know about his father and other super powered people.
that was very emotional.great scene
Got me too. Glad it's not just me. Almost got me when he pushed the swat dude (my head canon is that was him tapping into his super strength).
Now that we're at the spoiler review, something that jumped out at me... (SPOILERS!)
M. Night mentioned in interviews how studios wouldn't market Unbreakable as a comic book movie because of the negative perception toward such movies at the time. He also mentioned the middling reviews it got depressed him.
And then it hit me: Sarah Paulson's character, the secret group she was with, the whole plot to convince the leads that they aren't superheroes...that's all the studio and critics he dealt with making Unbreakable.
Even the ending with the leads dying but their exploits finding and inspiring an audience, mirrors Unbreakable underperforming at the box office and only really gaining traction later.
Thoughts?
That's actually pretty interesting
I agree m night did seem like he was going thru something while directing this film
I saw Paulson's character as the psychiatrist from the 50s that said that comics were disturbing to children. That's the reason why the Comics Code Authority was created
Damn, dog.
THAT sounds like the bad guys teaming up
I like how the cover of the magazine for the launch of the Osaka building says "A True Marvel" ;)
a slight jab at marvel films itself lel
And do you think it is a coincidence that there is a giant Japanese building in a Bruce Willis movie?
@@denenterpriesesorwhatsleft6386 I also noticed inside the comic book shop, there is a reference to Adam West's passing but not to Stan Lee's (although maybe they had already finished filming by the time he died). Shyamalan's a DC man, methinks.
@@lelandabernathy1596 I think it has to do more with the fact that he had finished the film at that time cuze stan passed in November and he finished filming glass in February last year
but as for him being a DC man well thats was obvious when you watch unbreakable you can see the superman allegories in it
I don't think he's necessarily a DC man it's just that when you think of the most iconic superhero you tend to think of Superman.
Sarah Paulson was wearing pink during the interrogation scene. The room there were in was pink. David, Elijah and Kevin were wearing green, purple and yellow respectively. This symbolises that she’s trying to force her reality onto them. Great detail!
Oooh I didn't think about that! Wow!
she's trying to unhoney dick them
@Sword Of The Stars bro the butthurt is real
@Sword Of The Stars I mean even though that ending was shit...it was well directed
Patrick Preston
The room was a mixture of pink and purple. This let us know that Glass was in control the whole time.
M. Night’s character has a bigger arc over the course of the three movies than David Dunn
😂😂 dang son
You ain’t wrong though
maybe he'll be a super hero after this film (if so I would call him Captain Shamalamadingdong)
@@freetoplayking7362 nice reference
lmao
I also loved that the three leaf clovers ☘️ represent their unspecialness.
I liked the intention behind the ending and how it played out, but I feel really put off by how the main characters were treated. I know why it happened, I understand the intention behind it but it was a tough pill to swallow. That being said, the acting, cinematography, use of color and general story was great.
I found the movie very complicated to love, but no way in hell can you say it’s a trash movie. It’s very well done.
The most accurate comment I have read of this movie, that's the big truth about it.
Sounds like your convincing yourself to like a movie you don't.
@@fightingmedialounge519 I always loved the movies, and I studied cinematography, I loved how the movie was shot and how practical everything went, and the music, and the overall look of the film was impresive, even the acting was incredible, I know that, but in terms of caring the characters, I felt bad because they died, but at the same time I can't help but notice this amazing movie. Sorry for my english
Kye Dysarthria you don’t know the guy that commented or me, so that’s a very silly assessment. It is possible to like aspects of a movie but be conflicted over themes or story choices within said film.
Basically Elijah and cult lady win, I know it tried to say she failed but it wouldn't be hard to say the video's were staged and fake, then she can trot off to kill more people..... how wonderful
Totally agree! It has flaws, but it doesn't deserve a 35%.
35% is not a rating, it's what percentage of people liked the film
@@myztik5716 I know, its just surprising less than half the critics liked it
Joshua Lann One of the major problems of Rotten Tomatoes is that the Tomatometer is only showing how many critics gave a positive review, it does not make a difference between those who gave an average rating or a bad one, it lumps the two together. That's why you should only pay attention to the average rating (in this case 5.1/10) and not the way more prominent Tomatometer. In the case of this film it shows that most critics thought of the film as being average.
Mario Quade
Did you actually read the ratings the critics gave it? They literally trashed it. 1/4 etc. they treated it as an utter failure. Mostly cited how bad the ending was and how M. Night failed again. There is no reason only 35% of critics gave it an average review. The film was at least an above average, better than split imo.
@@thiskneegrow Yeah, plus Glass is certainly not comparable to something like The Happening or The Lady in the Water
6:32 Photosensitive epileptic here. The strobes were timid in the movie but in reality I imagine it would flash brightly and rapidly. With eyes closed and hands covered it can still be bright enough to shine through. The brightness, flash rate, patterns, colours and whether its regular/irregular are all taken in to account. My own personal experiences are...
1) It can be hypnotic and I'll be transfixed until someone pulls me away
2) I can start to spasm
3) I can experience scintillating scotoma
4) I can lose time (or have time speed up/down)
4) Mood swings (fear/aggression are typical, sometimes laughing fits) potentially leading to full blown psychosis
5) Extreme deja vu (hoooo boy)
6) Confusion/Amnesia
7) Grand mal seizures (full blown convulsions with loss of consciousness)
8) and some bizarre stuff you won't believe and I can't prove (psychologists call it psychosis and delusions!)
Covering hands just ain't good enough. He could turn around and see the light bouncing off the walls, like with ambulance/police cars - the worst part is their lights bouncing off every other vehicle/window they pass. In those situations my whole body would be rigid. If I was enraged, attacking people, shouting about and people start shining strobes I'd end up either begging people to stop or dancing on the floor. It's like krytonite, it has an effect just by being near it. Won't be long til I end up assaulting cyclists with those flashing lights!
Great movie. Definitely going to watch it again.
M.Night's Bizarre Journey Part 4: Glass is Unbreakable
Justin Y. Damn you’re fast
Justin Y. Damn this is a top tier reference to both JoJo and M. Night’s movies
Fuck you bro that's not funny. Let him ruin One Piece.
Just saw you on placeboing's vid dawg. Slow down
@A Bear with phone 408 Stands. And wait until you see Golden Wind.
Just saw the film and I really don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be
I agree. I honestly quite enjoyed everything about the movie. I can see how some people would get annoyed at the ending, but I personally enjoyed it without any real annoyance.
Ah people say anything is shit these days only because it's from today, ignore those cancerfucks
@@StrattonSmith i mostly liked it, while i enjoyed split-everybody except james mcavoy who is a treasure and the psychiatrist character-is a fucking idiot. Especially anya taylor joy who took way too long tp decide to run after seeing her "friends" get maced in a car to the poinr she is unrealistically stupid (and i get its supposed to be a start to her growing into a stronger character but still too unrealistic-if that part had been in slo mo it would have worked but it was shown in real time...and once she opened the door she still has 5 seconds to start running. And not to mention other dumb moments (while some are smart they are inconsistent inconsistent due to her stupid momemts not balancing with her smart ones-AND I GET one isnt always smart 100 percent of the time but in film a character needs consistent decision making. Especially when she sees and hears one of the girls being eaten alive and just stands there and even walks towards the beast like she is mentally handicapped-like she just had a stroke....
This film doesnt have that much bullshit and even makes anya taylor joy a better character, fixing some issues i had with her before-clarifying some details that werent clear by the end of the last film although she still doesnt consistently make decisions since she decides to see kevin out of a sense of caring...if it had been out of curiosity and trying to make sure he couldnt hurt anyone again that would work but its actually too personal like she somehow became friends with a guy she knew for literal seconds-bit of a stretch shamalean! But she is better so ill give some points for effort at trying to make her more bearable at least. James mcavoy is just as amazing here. Bruce willis yeah gets kind of pushed to a sideline but i believe gets enough time to see progression of a man getting quickly tired of mind games and just wanting to give in to make things either and it being his enemy to help him bring him back to shape...but actually it um...spoilers gets them all killed-asshole. Samuel does a good job as glass and the way he sneaks on you almost making you forget he is a threat...clever on m night to make that the case in the film and to the audience. And the first half is perfect-cant find a thing i would fix...butthe second half almost succeeds and takes big risks but doesn't succeed in the areas where it needed to the most. I like the idea of tricking this service from keeping the status quo into their favor but by taking their lives-feels like a realistic version of infinity war but less climactic but thats not a bad thing- these films mainly unbreakable has some tropes and some of the layout of a comic-but keeps it in the real world-the end feels real and not too big...(plus did you see the films budget?there was no way they were going to that big building to battle-which also turned the always in a big city with big buidlings fight on its head keeping it in a small locale,leaving little wiggle room to improvise which makes the fighting more real,personal and makes it so every move is important because it could lead to their very death but even that gets turned on its head when it shows whatever happens or whomever the victor,this group will use all their power to keep the status quo of normal humans being the top of the food chain and make sure the 3 of them were just mistakes needing to be poofed out of existence...revision history in their eyes to save humanity from discovering the truth of greater power because it could give advantage to the weak to overtake the smoothtalkers and sleazy polticians OH sorry the strong and give rise to a new race of beings that could be greater than before-but like in any comic story-people are scared of giving up the mantel and giving our legacy to something new...but how they went about leading the 3 making the announcement feels slightly unearned...i dont feel the last part was genuine or subtly well built....
But mostly its pretty damn good. Not as good as unbreakable but better than split. I say its worth at least one watch.
I think people went in expecting a classic M.Night twist. I too was annoyed at the ending but the more I analyse the more I realise it’s the perfect end to the trilogy. It reinforces and truly showcases the ideas of broken people becoming stronger and ordinary people having the capability to do extraordinary things that M.Night has embedded into the previous two films.
"so m. night... I'm dying in a puddle?“
Re: Casey holding Kevin’s hands... I’ve worked with prisoners, bad people. Sometimes a simple bit of contact can mean the world. When she first reaches for his arm, I actually flinched and thought ‘NO!’ But I’ve seen the look on his face when shaking someone’s hand fearlessly, without judgement. Such gratitude.
Says so much for M Knight and the actors.
i always though she's sufferring stockholm syndrome
David Dunn is forever my favorite superhero bring him back pls 🙏
I personally loved it, including the ending. I think its a fantastic trilogy, only watched Unbreakable for the first time last week and saw Split in the cinema when it came out. I can understand some peoples views towards the ending. But I love the fact that these films don't feel like anything else, they stand on their own merit and it's awesome to see what M Night Shyamalan has done here. Acting was superb, loved the camera shots and the the music was fantastic. Honestly can't hate on this one, first film I've watched in 2019 and happy about it :)
Black Falcon I agree
Agree
same !
Agree 100%! And l'm happy you mentioned the camera shots and the music because l really noticed how awesome those two things were during the movie!
Wow just came home from watching it and James MacAvoy was amazing
I loved this film. You rarely see movies this bold and challenging anymore. My theater was applauding at the end
I wish I was in that screening. My theater had barely 30 people, half of whom left midway.
Abbas Abidi Sad to hear. But movies like this are always bound to isolate some viewers. Whether it’s because they didn’t bother to see the previous two films or it’s not the generic action spectacle they thought it might be. I’m glad it kept true to what Shymalan envisioned
Applauded at the end? What a crock of shit
Loved the movie but applauding at a movie is like applauding when you just landed on a plane it's stupid.
Mine stay seated the whole credits (i thought they're waiting for a scene), but they remain seated even after that. I realized they were in shock.
I cried my heart out when Kevin died. "It's nice to be in the light, every once in a while."
It got me too. I liked bring 9. That killed me.
I too felt the sex scene between Patricia and Mr. Glass was odd...
it wasnt patricia XD
Yeah and it was weird when David joined but that’s just my opinion.
WHAT
@@nickcabral216 WAIT WHAT
It was weird when she said “so THAT’S why they call you The Beast!”
I think it's a bummer that they died, but all in all, I saw everything I wanted to see. Dunn vs Beast, Price being the mastermind...The movie delivered.
No no no you saw him punch the side of a car
+TheKumitechamp Did you want an Avengers finale with exploding buildings and lasers everywhere?
I'm not sure what movies people have been watching, a big chaotic finale doesn't fit the tone at all.
The big battle they talked about at the end doesn't even make sense really, Dunn and The Beast are strong...but they're not THAT strong, authorities would put them down eventually. A big climax like that would be inconsistent and stupid and subverting your expectations of that was the point in the ending.
@TheKumitechamp He drowns because he is a superhuman with a weakness.
That's the point.
@TheKumitechamp this is a movie
@TheKumitechamp Agreed. Ending felt rushed and he's himself said there was over 3 hours worth of film they had to cut. I need to see it again, but I thought David Dunn could have died "better". Even with his wife dying - it was explained quickly and that was it. Rushed.
Anyone else get choked up at the end? Ya know, other than Bruce Willis...
Oof
Noooo...
This movie really hit me hard in the feels!!
And i love the unpredictable yet realistic approach to how it ended. That is what happens unf to real life heroes in the real world... they die. And many we do not even get the chance of hearing their braveries or stories, as it would be with them unless Elijah uploaded the feed :)
No it was stupid
@@turq1824 You know what's stupid? Them surviving and the movie ending in stereotypical Hollywood super hero movie style.
The ending left me annoyed at first but the more I analyse it the more I like it. This film is definitely a breath of fresh air in the rinse and repeat oversaturated superhero genre.
Thank you
Exactly!! :D
Riiiiiight😄
I totally agree
I interpreted Casey's power to be her empathy. She's tends to pick up on what others want or need to hear. For example, In Split, even though she was manipulating Hedwig I think she genuinely cared for him.
Casey represented the loving, caring mother type Kevin did not have from his own.
I also thought that she has the power of persuasion since when she comes to staple and asks to see him she initially declines and then lets her in anyway after a moment
I thought her to be a re-gen; on par with Wolverine because of the self harm scars; one could assume that if she cut, she stabbed. If she stabbed, she shot. And so on and so on until one day she is kidnaped by KWC and we jump in on her story.
She has no superpower. You are misguided in the trend of Superhero movies. There won't be a sequel. The meaning of the movie is that we as humans have super powers, but that we are numbed into not even trying ourselves.
Wait.....you like Kevin now !?!?!?!
I think the existence of the "Clover Society" should have been hinted at earlier, like maybe a quick glimpse of Staple's tattoo or something. The fact that we start seeing the tattoo at the very end seems to come out of nowhere. I was also sad that after everything he's been through David ended up being killed by some random henchman ducking his head in a puddle... I really wish that in his final moments he would have caught a glimpse of the other goons manhandling his son and that would have given him the resolve to get up and get over his water 'kryptonite', which if we are following what is suggested in the film, is just a mental construct caused by childhood trauma. Then again, keeping David alive would have been the _safe_ thing to do, and we know that Shyamalan is the king of subversion. Other than those two things I liked the movie, although it was a slow burn, and I can understand it not being for everyone.
Yeah I was hoping David's weakness of water was just a fear and it would backfire on the doctor.
i hate the asylum concept, it feels like it just kept the action away from the movie, but if they *had* to do it, they should've at least set up the clover earlier on, that way it would actually be a shock when it shows up in the twist
Apex Theory this pretty much sums up how I feel about the film too. Thanks
Wtf is manhandling?
@@MegaMerdeux he was literally dragged, choked and drowned to death
I saw Paulson's character as the psychiatrist from the 50s that said that comics were disturbing to children. That's the reason why the Comics Code Authority was created
Royale With Cheese that’s definitely a worthy perspective, man.. love the name too, big Tarantino fan.
The infamous Dr Frederic Wertham. Interesting observation!
Royale With Cheese and what’s really screwed up is it didn’t officially go away until less than 10 years ago.....
I hated her character and her acting.
Cool observation. Wasn't that real-life psychiatrist just in it for the money, rather than doing it for "the children" as he said?
I personally really liked the film and thought it was a very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Just my opinion. This will be a cult classic trilogy where there are more detractors but still has a loyal following.
KotorFan3231 I agree. I loved this movie from start to finish. Same with unbreakable and split. I kinda do agree David Dunn was underused and I kinda wish he didn't die. But other than that I really wasn't disappointed with the film. I'm definitely gonna buy it eventually.
I too agree. It has a lot of the quirky flaws that pretty much every Shymalan movie has, but falls on the better side of his oeuvre.
Me too, loved it and loved the ending.
Ending is the worst part. Ambiguity doesn't mean a conclusive ending. If anything there are even more questions.
Most of the people who trashed Unbreakable back in the day are "fans" now so I'm sure the same will happen for Glass.
Loved how Shyamalan's character was just like "Holy crap just let the dude go on a walk."
That was actually a fun cameo.
As much as I hate a lot of the choices made I can tell M Night planned some of them for a while. Knowing that Kevin's father died on the same train David Dunn was on explains that weird scene in Split where he goes to the empty train car to bring out the Beast. Just some pretty cool recontextualization.
mr754222 Well Kevin was confirmed as the boy at the stadium
I'm Moostache The boy at the stadium? 🤔
@@verynice6037 link me to that confirmation
This movie said that he didn't know about the train. All he knew was his dad left them.
@@metzger5850 I mean, he was there when he got on the train. He probably just wasn't told that he died.
Well on the positive side, the characters hold true to their movie titles.
David Dunn is unbreakable in the first act. But becomes momentarily doubtful bringing him back to somewhat his old personality from the 1st film.
Kevin/The Beast resumes his usual agenda till he gets captured. He becomes split in the 2nd act to question himself.
Elijah Price seems fragile throughout most of the film. But ironically once they all get together to talk with the doctor, he's the only one unfazed but the supposed revelation. Ironically he's the hero that needs to step up to free himself and the others from this ordeal. And his agenda goes into motion. First though, he speaks to both Kevin and David. Kevin to restore his doubt and join him, and to motivate David to get out of his funk and be the hero again.
Then another revelation comes where it connects all 3 of them in one incident and How Elijah "created both of them" to make this happen. Of course things start to get out of hand.
But because David gets through that door, he comes back as unbreakable and even with the revelation, he becomes unfazed and still plays the hero till the end.
The beast/horde becomes conflicted and split in this revelation. And ultimately decides to destory both sides to prove his own existence in the end.
Elijah Price is called Glass, not just because we know how fragile and his powers, but he will outshine all of them into claiming his victory. Despite fragile to his inevitable fate that needs to happen to succeed his plan, His mom calls him "spectacular" in the end because he succeeded. He shines by having the world know they exist and passes the torch to his mom, David's son, and Kevin's mutual friend. In the end, Elijah cared for both of them and didn't want the organization to win. You can argue he doesn't care about them, but why does he allow to email David's son and The victim of the beast to pass on evidence of their existence?
Glass is the movie where the title villian wins. But M Night tried to respect the predecessor films in his own way while still trying to spin things his own way.
Knight Of ANGUISH well put man.
Mr. Glass sees thru everything.
I agree, nice post. :)
U deserve hell of award man ,
It’ll David gets his head in a tiny amount of water and dies while he fought the Beast in a large pool of water and lives????
can't believe they killed off my boy David Dunn like that.
Titi lmao
That was the point though.
Lazy writing. Should have drowned him in his room.
@@jimsuniverse4954 wasnt lazy though. Shows how quickly people die in real life. This isnt the mcu or dc where theres a triumphant moment
What i hate abt the scene is... He died from a frikin puddle. Like seriously, that is the most disrespectful thing you can do to David Dunn
Easily one of the best reviews from you Chris. Super Articulated. You talked about what you liked thoroughly, then you went in depth and explained its disappointing moments. Ultimately praised Shaymalan for doing something different. I respect you for that man. Good to see you back.
Hear hear!!🙋
Yasss the only thing i dislike is David Dunn's character, we didn't get enough from him. I was like "Thats it??" He did the vision only a couple of times in the movie and he didn't show his power enough. I had high hopes cuz i watched Unbreakable before this
I understand everyone's frustration but I think that because Unbreakable exists that was Davids arc. Glass seemed (and succeeded) to close out the arcs of Glass and Kevin whilst David had been superheroing for 20 years. Just a thought.
@@trevorfraley1744 the downside there is that we dint get to see that character journey and progression in the movie its like heres what happen and 15-17 years later this happens like you have to fill in the blanks and assume this is what happen with those stuff and its kinda one sided imo
The ending made the movie .in the end you cheer for everybody even the villains that was great character building. Bravo M Night
Nope, horrible movie
I'm glad it wasn't a predictable ending.
@@Right2Bexar that was the part everyone was expecting because it's noticed in trailer 2. I don't think no one expected all of them dying especially David Dunn.
@Michael Anderson true but I like how glass won in the end. It kind of took off the disappointment of all of them dying. I'm very mixed on the ending.
I love the film, except the ending. I don’t hate it, but it could have been better. I dunno, I think it could be worse, it just had more potential. David having no new arch didn’t bother me too much
The twist with the society definitely hurt the film for me. I mean to have these characters be killed by random henchmen of a random society that had no emotional significance to this trilogy at all. Bummed me out. Loved these characters and it was a bullshit way to have them go out.
Agreed!!
I definitely had that feeling after the last Jedi as well with the way that Luke Skywalker was handled at the end. This movie was an entertaining disappointment. Can't believe Bruce Willis died in the puddle and the Beast never got to fulfill any profound destiny. The secret society was so cheesy over the top. In real life they will be trying to harness the powers of these individuals
@@kamalmiah3752 a secret society trying to harness the powers of them is much worse and cliché. There's countless instances of humans making weapons out of super beings. Hell, X-Men Days of Future Past shows the creator of the Sentinals using a sample of Mystique's blood to use it for the machines and we see in the future the Sentinals using the mutant's powers against them.
So how M. Night went with the society using psychiatry to convince the super beings that they don't have powers was actually different, not perfect, but different.
I see the society as trying to keep peace. Think about it, comic book worlds are always chaotic, some new threat comes out and people get hurt because of it. These guys are trying to keep a lid on it
@@PhantomLantern2814 I understand their practical purpose in the film but the way they're just thrown into the narrative to close it is both sloppy and unsatisfying. It's a poor way to conclude a trilogy.
I really liked Glass. I saw it with my brother/friends & we spent 30 minutes just talking about it in the theater lobby. Glass is very ambitious, but it mostly pays off. It's sincerely goofy, creepy, unsettling, & it has one of the craziest 3rd acts EVER. Glass has one of the MOST I-N-S-A-N-E 3rd acts that I've ever seen, & that's a compliment. It DID NOT go how I thought it would. At first, I didn't like it at all, but as it kept going, I was sincerely blown away. I ultimately found it pretty powerful. Glass will be discussed for a long time, & it feels like I'm going to defend it a lot. It's not perfect, it has a very messy 2nd act. But M. Night Shyamalan has made a trilogy that is truly one of a kind, & I respect him for that.
i hope we watched that movie together haha I really want to share my thought about that movie after watching
Yeah cheers i think it has a very bittersweet mature ending. Very unique, mastermind wasnt completely aware of the whole situation but was able to manipulate every single one. Truly the mastermind.
I Loved GLASS SO Much MY Friend
And I Gave it ( 9/10 )
Bro don’t talk about movies in the lobby of theaters. Someone could over hear you and get spoiled happened to me many times.
I'm right there with you. I find it easy to defend the movie though, as everything is explained in it. It's really just about leaving your expectations at the door, as Chris also realised on second viewing.
I'm fine with Elijah not being a villain in the end, that really cements how unique these three characters really are, but I agree that the film, partially because of Elijah's victory, kindve betrays David.
Edit: and this is my favorite of your videos
Well, he's a mass murderer. He always was a villain for me. As was the Beast with some other Kevin's identities who helped to feed him.
+Jordan Denny But he is still the villain?
The thing you have to realize is that *we* want superheroes, the audience wants superheroes, that's what we're there to see.The world however doesn't because superheroes means supervillains and that just means chaos.
We can look at it as fun and exciting because it's not our reality.
Take the Hulk for instance, awesome big green guy!In reality though it'd be shit scary worrying that he could just randomly appear with a giant monster and they could fuck your whole town up.
Superheroes and villains are not cool in that respect, they're dangerous and scary.
Mr Glass is still the villain because he showed the world what's out there and encouraged anyone special to stand out whereas this secret society was killing them before they got too extreme, protecting the world.
It's an utterly fascinating story if you ask me, this society are clearly the bad guy in the film but if you really think about it, they're the heroes(though they go about it in roundabout ways), they keep the larger population safe.
@@mrcheesemunch I guess you are right, but the the trilogy is for the most part from the perspective of these real life comic book characters so the audience associates with them, so then at the end of Glass, Elijah, one of the protagonists of the movie, has a victory, so it doesn't feel that villainous.
+Jordan Denny That astonsihed me to be honest, it is so rare to see a movie where the bad guy wins and to be done in such a way where you feel like the good guy actually won is even more unique. Just...wow, what a fantastic moive. I'm so sad the hype train has trashed the reviews because everyone was needlessly expecting a huge finale.
I wish these people would watch all the movies again in order and properly consider the tone and the messages in it, little of what people wanted makes sense.
People mad that David died...as if that secret society wouldn't just capture him right away, he's not Superman he struggled to push back like six guys they could easily restrain or just kill him anyway.It's just so sad how people have these preconceived ideas and can't just let the movie be what it is.
Jordan Denny I agree, I feel like he is showing us that the world is not so black and white. There are not always super villains and super hero’s, but rather people who are neither good nor bad.
Mr Stuckmann you i'm totaly agree with your review, i think i will go see Glass at least one more time, just to support mr Shamalan, we need to support film makers with original ideas other wise we will have the same fast food style cinema
it's a movie called Glass... what did you expect? It's not David Dunn's story, it's Glass's comic. Glass wins.
It is but its weird that the ending seems so hopeful.I wish it was chaostic and dark.
@@zet4042 You have to notice that Elijah never was truly evil... even in Unbreakable, he first acted like David's mentor before he was revealed at the villain. He always was bad, for the sake of the greater good... so it makes since that the ending was hopeful, because unlike most villains... Elijah wasn't evil for evil's sake... he was evil for the sake of the greater good. He wasn't a villain... he was an anti villain.
Glass wins not against David, but against Dr Ellie
@@trevinodude LOVE THIS COMMENT!!
Amen.
One detail I found hilariously silly. When The Beast punches Elijah in the chest and shattered his ribs I noticed the sound made was that of broken glass. I get it, but that's still really dumb.
Dormammu if he had the strength of 25 people or 12 and his bones were glass like his fist should of went through him. He was putting holes in concrete while climbing.
It is almost like it is a comic book movie. :)
in movies production they use samples that reminds of the sound IRL, watch a Fast and Furious movie and pay close attention to the audio during a chase scene, nothing make sense.
Well in Unbreakable I think there were a few scenes where Elliah "breaks" himself with similar glass shattering sounds. He is known as Glass for a reason :)
Some people have already drawn on the fact that he breaks his arm at the same place he broke his arm in the flashback as a kid playing!
The whole time I was thinking, "why hasn't anyone lawyered up" everyone just accepting they have to stay there.
A lot of people are going to die, Overseer, if you don’t get through that door!
Edit: I agree 100% with the whole David complaint, but I think that was what M. Night wanted us to feel
TheyMightBeBricks loved that moment.
TheyMightBeBricks wanted us to feel what?
I'm sure he did want us to feel bad-but that doesn't make the moment good just because he succeeded. If you like the twist that he dies in a pothole because it's different, well, I can't take that from you. But it was incredibly disappointing for me. It didn't 'teach me a lesson' about real life. I read r/morbidreality. Believe me, I get what real life is and it normally doesn't involve man-beast supervillains flipping ambulances over. It felt mean-spirited. People felt so much joy seeing that character after 20 years. And his story ends horrifically, cruelly, and painfully. He didn't die for anything. Oh, right, so Mr. Glass could encourage other people to find and nurture their own gifts... so that they too can realize how fleeting and meaningless those gifts are when they trip on a curb and break their neck.
Yes I think the movie was exactly what it wanted to be
TheyMightBeBricks imagine if the original Unbreakable theme blared through that sequence. It would’ve been epic. My biggest gripe is that they didn’t use the original soundtrack more.
I've just seen Glass and I loved it. It had everything I wanted from the third installment of that trilogy, message was wholesome and relatable and despite critics made me worry, it was better then most of the mainstream superhero movies of 2010's in my humble opinion (that of sad and tired comic book fan who rarely got what he wanted and when I did critics called it "misfires"). On an unrelated note I secretly hope Shyamalan to resurrect the franchise a bit later with Spencer Treat Clark in the center, becoming either hero or villain successor (plus Taylor-Joy as well). As much as whole cast was greatly enjoyable, I was not aware that he's a great character actor himself now. As for David Dunn's arc... I was pleased. He's a bit like my favorite superheroes who faded into obscurity overtime but are remembered from time to time and acknowledged as greats. Despite some of their demises being anti-climactic... If they had any. Not all were that lucky.
It reminds me some of Logan. "Only half of it happened, and not like that.".
@mavishill The secret society isn't suppressing do-gooders. They "don't take sides" - as they stated word for word in the movie. The society just maintains order by silently ridding those that realize their powers. There is no hero or villain - both are just seen as chaos.
he did say it was an "origin" story. But I doubt he starts off more sequels because that would be too mainstream
David Dunn is forever my favorite superhero bring him back pls 🙏
I was a huge fan of this film I really loved everything that transpired in it. I think it was the only ending a film like this could have had. I like what you said about people expressing themselves.
Chris, I couldn’t agree with you more about how upsetting it is that critics say “Who keeps letting M. Night make movies” when in fact he’s financing it himself, because he wants to express it his way, which isn’t the standard way they’re used to. I always feel the same way with DC movies, yes they’re not as light as fun as Marvel, but it appeals to people who don’t want it to be like Marvel. Just because it’s not what you want it to be, don’t automatically call it bad
DC is ass because Snyder butchered iconic stories and characters from the comics fam.
nope. ash Yeah, that’s not the main problem. It’s that WB jumped in without having any sort of clue or plan for what they want out of these movies. Then they try to fix problems after the fact. The result is a mess made by throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
if I am not agreed with your comment It does not mean that you are not allowed to express your feeling in comment box.Just think about it before writing..
the better question is who keeps distributing them. almost every movie he's made in the last decade feels like him just stroking his own ego, that's why he keeps giving himself cameo's, he's an egotist who is in love with the smell of his own farts and think he's the bestest, most cleverest film-maker in history. it's the same reason why his dialogue always sucks and comes off incredibly unnatural, he thinks not using any contractions makes himself sound smarter when it just comes off as dumb and self-important
Just because the motive is good does not make the end product good. You can like it, but it can still be bad.
I agree, honestly, i loved the film but the whole secret society was kinda dumb, and david dunn didn't get much of a contribution in this film, but the ending with elijah Price having the last laugh was great.
Oh yeah yeah
That's only if you actually accept that two buff guys in a parking lot slowly flipping cars, using leverage to bend a metal bar, fighting and denting a panel van, and a few other things, ACTUALLY qualifies as proof super people exist.
This is security cam footage that could easily be either faked or staged, but more importantly... the movie ITSELF, in the interrogation scene with the three, points out how all these supposed abilities are pretty common. Hell, a quick search on YT right now will show people any one or more of these.
HOW is that supposed to be so impressive that people now believe supers exist?
Oh yeah yeah
@@firefly4f4 exactly
It makes sense. The reason why there are only 3 super humans is because a secret society kills them.
My favorite movie trilogy possibly. My only complaint is that the twist feels kind of thrown in at the end. In unbreakable you can piece together that Elijah is the villians, even though most people wouldn't. If you listen to split, you could tell that it was in the unbreakable universe before the ending. I've seen this movie twice now and the whole secret society thing just seems to come out of left field. It also seems kind of funny to me that Dunn even has a moment of disbelief. Like lady, if I'm not a superhero then why do you have me in a steel contained room surrounded by my weakness.
I agree. The biggest twist in split for me was that Kevin's father died on the same train, meaning he ended up living with his abusive mother and that lead to him becoming The Horde. But because it wasn't spelled out until the third film, many didn't believe it. Their argument was the explanation of him dying on a bus. They believed it. Which always puzzled me cause it's like "have you never heard of a red hearing before!?. It's purposely there to throw you off".
To understand why the movie ended the way it did, pay close attention to Shyamalan’s penning: “This is not a cartoon. This is the real world”. And in the real world, ladies and gentlemen, people die. Humanity’s greed; quite specifically, their envy, will prevent those gifted from ever coming out of hiding. Mankind will find a way of destroying them, just like internet trolls found on this feed, shunning someone’s art. Nobody rates success as much as they’d like watching someone fall. Humanity didn’t want redundancy, hence killing those gifted without exposure. As soon as Mr Glass’ video surfaced online, we see Dr Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) scream because their organisation now knows they’re fighting a losing battle. Humans, sooner or later, will near extinction in evolution of those on the new spectrum; namely, Dunn’s spectrum. The ending, in my humble opinion, is an acquired taste - nevertheless - smart. The war has only just begun. “This was an origin story the whole time”.
But it's not the real world. Not any more than any other movie so that's dumb af.
No matter how special someone is, they're still human and part of society. That's why all those plots about metas or superhumans are so dumb. Especially since some use gadgets.
Those people.. the beast isn't worst than real serial killers or people with a gun.
Prashant I wonder what Mnight has plan next
I mean some meta humans have powers that remove human limitations so that assessment is kind ridiculous. Also shamalayn should not be preaching realism with the stiff he added.
I suppose the ending also answers a practical question - why has the public not yet discovered superheroes and villains in their midst?
I like how you always stand up for Shyamalan. :) He does what he wants to do and that's why I respect him, too.
he takes risks and his movies always start a conversation and dialogue, whether good or bad
Everyone: Glass is about David Dunn
Mr Glass: Am I a joke to you?
Lol
Its actually more about Kevin. David is like a side character to me.
@@jimsuniverse4954 its about the villians. People saw this as a superhero movie. When really it's a super villain movie
For me,
Unbreakable - A+
Split - A+ (Personally I think this movie is a Masterpiece, just like Unbreakable)
Glass - B+ though I haven't quite decided yet but I really did enjoy it and disagree 100% with critics.
That't Right MY Friend
Agree
I feel weird about watching reviews for this movie, because I don't think I've ever disagreed with a critic and audience consensus more than I do for Glass. I thought it was a great way to conclude a trilogy. Who ever said we needed a traditional ending to our superhero movies or to any movie franchise in general for that matter? Shyamalan has never been someone who takes the traditional route, for better or for worse. And I thought that the conclusion to this movie was fantastic. Say what you will about the deaths of the characters, and I would definitely agree that Kevin and David especially could have died in a more heroic way, but I didn't think the movie left their stories unfinished. David had already completed his story by becoming the Overseer, and Kevin finally took back the light. Without the Beast, he had no story left to tell. And as far as Mr. Glass was concerned, he finally found his place in the world and with the release of the videos showed to everyone that his vision of a superhero, comic book world did exist. He won in the end, and in a much less villainous way than in Unbreakable, as no deaths were involved. He got one over on everyone who tried to hold him down and silence the world he knew existed, and I was left feeling satisfied at the end. Overall, I don't think you're wrong for not enjoying the ending, especially if you were expecting something else, but for someone who really didn't know what to expect, I went along with it, and was ultimately pleasantly surprised.
Same
I very much agree 👍
You aren’t alone. I thought the film was incredible
I completely agree but i just wasnt a big fan of the whole secret society thing. That’s really it. Other than that just wow. Thats all i could say. Probably in my top shamalam (spelt wrong prob) films. I would say 6th sense and this trilogy are my favorite.
I agree, I bet if the ending was a more traditional one, people would complain and say it was cliche or cookie cutter blablabla...
What did they expect? An ambigious ending that gives no closure to the 3 main characters? Another 5 movies with the same characters ? We saw plenty of Kevin's character in Split and Glass and we saw David and Elijah's origin and conclusion as well.
I really want to know, what ending did everyone complaining about this one wanted? I'm still waiting on someone to elaborate out of the numerous comment sections I've asked the question on.
I think it's a solid trilogy. Perfect? No, but original and very good still.

This was super inspirational to me. Thank you, I needed to hear that. Love all of your work.
What I wouldnt give to see Chris smile again
You don't know what his going through in life.
@@jamesknowles.3552 Yeah
The thumbnail
I know he has a lot going on, I am just saying he dosnt look as enthusiactic about his reviews anymore
Toasty McSauce
Im not saying that he is depressed or anything, I am just saying he dosnt seem happy about movie reviews as much as he used to.
Do u notice that the secondary characters like Casey, Elijah’s mom, and Jospeh in the end when they sit together at the train bench you notice that they wear the same colors as the main characters and when I noticed it in film I was like woooow
The collection of main characters.
James McAvoy should get an academy award for this role. His range and delivery was nothing short of amazing.
I think a lot of people turned on this movie when they killed David Dunn. Also, I thought that Kevin's dad being on they train that day was already known. I thought the twist was going to be the Psychiatrist being Kevin's sister or something. Hell, make her Kevin's father.
For me I still liked it but the moment they got into the conspiracy nonsense was when the tide turned for me. I still liked the Kevin's dad reveal because it was treated more as a reveal for the characters and it had appropriate consequences for them
@@DoctorXander I see your point
I understand David's weakness is drowning but shouldn't he be strong enough to overcome the cop holding his head in the puddle?
from Al it seems it takes him a few minutes to recover from the near drownings. Judging by the pool scene in unbreakable, and the sprinkler scene in this one, he needs a minute to recover. He was still coughing up water from the tank when they drowned him.
He fought with the beast just a few minutes early and was taken by surprise by the "police", he though they were allies.
He's weak from having been in the tank.
That was HULK Cop
I think those police where superhuman too..a theory anyway
Cinematography was lovely though, I love the color palette and the music.
Ya I loved Glass up to the ending. The ending made me feel a mix of heartbreak and disappointment for the rest of the night. I don’t know I guess it was an okay ending for me
I felt the same way, but the more I think about it the more I like it.
the tapes leaking made it so much better for me
@@TheExecutioner21 yes without those tapes it would've ruined the pay off. But that twist fixed the end
I am fairly certain that's how M. Night wanted you to feel. He wanted you to feel pissed about how that scene ended, but then relieved at how the twist ending concluded it all.
Yeah I can see why you were disappointed Spoiler.........
That happens when the director decides that it is a good idea to drown a super hero who people like in a puddle of water.
I think we can all collectively be done with the Oscars if James McAvoy doesn’t get a nomination at the very least for his performance in Glass. He got robbed for Split so i hope they don’t do the same again.
Oscars is the worst representation of loved things by fans and the normal people. It's nearly always been politically and patriotically charged choices.
ill save you time he wont be... im sure James McAvoy is great but the oscars dont care
Well it's partially the studio's fault for not making any sort of Oscar campaign, you can't just expect an Oscar nomination to materialize out of nowhere. It doesn't help that this film A) came out in January and B) doesn't have a strong critical response.
He won’t get nominated. He deserves to be nominated, by all means, but the Academy voters have the memory of a goldfish. Anything that came out before September of any given year (with a few exceptions, like them trying to be “woke” and nominating Get Out for everything under the sun) has no chance of getting recognized.
He wont be nominated, unfortunately. It is the same with jake gyllenhaal. He is alwats amazing but was never nominated
Great review. I too felt perplexed by “The Organization” and David’s arch in the movie, until I thought about what the organization could represent on a deeper level.
I think The Organization represents society, and how an underline goal of society is to normalize and nullify the extraordinary. Both society and this film’s “Organization” work to Shepard the masses into average mundane existences, out of fear that a world where people that strive for greatness and were allowed to be extraordinary, would prove catastrophic in the long run. It’s why they showed the organization meet in public places, but wait for normal people to leave the room before they communicated. It’s also why Dr. Staple asked David if he almost believed her, because if he chose to nullify himself to normalcy, she would have let him go.
This idea of fighting against the norm is echoed by M. Night himself, in his cameo where he sites that he “Got his life together with the power of positive thinking” (believing in himself). I think this also reflects his confidence that Glass itself would be a success, and prove critics wrong that said his career was over. He, like the super powered beings in the movie, only needed to believe in oneself and could prove extraordinary.
If you believe the above, I think that also explains David’s arch. His doubt is what in the end destroyed him. He doubted himself his whole life, consistently chose to limit himself when he faced mental adversity and normalcy. Even water, the most normal thing in our existence, is what he chose as his weakness because he believed it was. That’s why M. Night ended both The Hoard and The Overseer by the same hand, the agent of the organization (society). In juxtaposition, it was only Mr. Glass, a man who’s mental fortitude and strong belief in himself proved victorious. That’s why there are so many flash backs to young Elijah in this film and Unbreakable, it always showed that despite his fear, despite knowing he could and would be harmed, he always pushed forward and believed in himself. That’s why in the end of this three part series, Mr. Glass proved to be the winner over all adversity. The Hoard and The Overseer where fighting the wrong battle, battles of belief and the need to prove themselves normal or extraordinary. It’s also why the three normal people the, cast of main characters survived (Casey, Joseph, and Mrs. Price) because their belief never wavered.
When you think about it the ending being hopeful is used to show that Mr. Glass was the real hero. He’s been fighting for the justice of extraordinary people (the organization had been killing and nullifying them for 10,000 years). Maybe everyone in this world has the potential to be extraordinary, they just need to both believe in themselves and survive great suffering, and now the world knows it.
Or maybe I’m looking too far into this!
The whole film is a deconstruction of Superhero and grounded them into reality.
So? Does it make Glass outstanding or innovative? A superhero phenomenon was already deconstructed by R. L. Stevenson and H. G. Wells in 19th century, there's nothing new and original about it.
Agreed.
Deconstruction still has to be good on it's own. Also I pray this doesn't get more expansion.
Unbreakable already did that
I love the after credit scene where Mel Gibson and the green alien show up and take the three bodies into the space ship...
That was my favorite part too!
I absolutely loved the direction this movie went and the message. My disappointment was that the finale was a little anticlimactic. I wanted a bigger, more glorious, powerful ending rather than people just looking at their phones lol. I think Glass (evil) , David Dunn (good) and Kevin (conflicted) represent the incredible potential that everyone has in themselves across, which is what Mr Glass is trying to show the world at the end. And Sarah Paulson is trying to keep this reality hidden from people. Really interesting and cool movie.
Watched Mr. Glass over the weekend, loved it, and went in expected a bad ending after watching your first vid but I personally felt it was awesome!
Think about the ending again; its pointless. They all died, they were exposed, and the mother, son, and victim were emotionless about all of it. The ending is supposed to justify the whole movie...it doesn't. They are all dead, but at least people know they exist. dumb
I'm telling people this movie will become a cult film. I didn't enjoy as much, but overtime it will grow on people.
DEFINITELY...
It will be looked at as a masterpiece eventually when people take the time to understand its complexity
B R E A D P I T T it probably will be the case. It dealt with a lot of high anticipation
Glass is honestly my favourite Shyamalan film. And can someone give McAvoy his Oscar already?
Did you see Lady in the Water?
No, i haven’t seen it yet. But from what I’ve heard it’s shit.
@@peacefuldawn6823 Paul Giamati(sp) gave a tour de force performance. Some of the best cinematography I've ever seen. The story like most of his movies is serviceable. You should see it.
I think the problem most people have with this movie is that they were expecting a comib book ending. They were expecting the bad guys to lose and the hero to win. But the truth is real life is not like that. Most often than not the good guys do lose and as heartbreaking and horrible as it was to see David Dunn go out like that, it was realistic in a sense. And Elijah not being a super evil villain is also realistic. He always did things to be able to find the truth. He went about it the wrong way, yes, but finding the truth is not necessarily an evil thing to do. I have mixed feelings about this movie tbh. I was an emotional wreck at the end. I wanted a different ending for all three characters, maybe I wanted a happy ending. But life usually does give us bittersweet endings. And well... I don't know.
No that's stupid. People don't like it because it's manipulative and bettays the premise. Not because they were expecting marvel.
At one point I wonder if the movie was going to be Elijah's delusions. That's the kind of movie I knew I was dealing with. And that would have been much more horrid.
The truth is that it felt unnecessarily mean spirited for the triology, genre, and in general.
In real life people aren't that strong. And most off people are accepted and there wouldn't be a retarded organization where people convince themselves to murder citizend like that and it goes unnoticed and science wouldn't care and the military wouldn't want them.
And ancient times they wouldn't have been considered valuable.
Just because you like this interpretation doesn't make it "realistic".
No one knows how it would be in real life because it doesn't exist.
But take away something from real life and just recognize how common place it is. That's reality.
Shows where people are used to it are more "real" probably.
Elijah's plan was always the same. What made him a villain is how far he went. He killed people, he was still bad. Just because the organization was worst doesn't change that. His goal didn't change. The backdrop did and the fact that people were actively trying to immorally stop it.
Before that didn't exist. And he'll, no one thought it existed.
So he's not a good guy. He didn't even do a good thing because he potentially didn't even know about the organization. Even if he did, we don't know if he knew how immoral/unethical they were.
It could really just be coincidence.
As a kid he went under for 5 minutes so I bet he’s alive after the 2 minutes of puddle.
My main problem was the secret organization, felt way too dumb
@@mariuane11 its not dumb it happens in real life when a goverment think that some kind of people or ideas are dangerous for the ir normals like the URSS with their rebels. they invented some pseudo psicological stuff to supress or en force genocide.
Just saw the film! Finally get to hear your true thoughts!
What do you mean true thoughts? The thoughts he gave in the spoiler free review were true, he just couldn't get most of them out due to not wanting to spoil it.
Jake Voronkov I know. I meant his thoughts in full spoiler fashion.
I really enjoyed Glass at the cinema, and I like it even more on repeat viewing. I hadn't seen unbreakable or split before seeing it, so I had no expectations. I thought the fight scene at the end was amazing. The antithesis of over the top super hero cgi. Excellent
The idea i get : Everyone who's gifted face society trying to convince him he's not or finish him . It's about special people having continuous doubts about themselves, if only they believe in themselves although everything from the start !
I think is conects the Super Man(Comic) with Super Man(Nietzsche) concepts, the radical men vs the everyman, giving that they secret society have 3 leaf clover tattoos they represent the mob that want to inforce normality.
That was the same idea I got from the movie.
This guy gets it. the movie ending is about how the elite, society and the controled media wants you to feel like you are not special at all. when every human being is unique and special in his own way. they want you to fallow they ways and make you feel like you are nothing special. but if you think about it . we are human beings everyone has sutch a big potenical to do amazing things, but we live in a world where the opinion of others and how they feel about you is more important that your own thougs and fealings. we live in a society controled by fear. but love is the key is the most powerfull power we have. thats the message of the movie and is sad to see that just a small number of people gets it.
I agree 100% with this review. This is the kind of movie that get hurt by unnecessary hype and excessive expectations. People should learn to appreciate movies for what they are and not for what people want them to be. The disappointment of not getting what they want make people ignore the positive aspects of the movie. I loved this movie despite the flaws. I didn't liked David dying and the inconsistency about how water affected him. There are some defects and plot-holes in the narrative. But there is not one movie without at least one defect or plot-hole. Some people are saying that the plot is incoherent and the result is a mess. This movie will be incoherent only for those who have not seen yet 'Unbreakable' and 'Split' or for those with ADD-ADHD. I think that despite the bad and unfair reviews this movie is receiving now eventually it will gather some respect and appreciation. Of course, this movie is not as good as the two previous movies but this ain't 'The Matrix Revolutions'. There's a lot to admire about this movie and Shyamalan efforts and I'm glad this review can create some positive perspective about it.
For me it was pure cinema. Thanks a lot M. Night
There is a difference between hype and expecting a good film
There's also a difference between 'expecting a good movie' and expecting something specific that I want in the movie.
@@Nihilus_Outis the directing, story, editing and other aspects of film making are not that good in Glass
@@mixed_nuts just see how Unbreakable is shot then watch Glass - huge difference. That scene when Mr Glass holds a comic books is shot beautifully, nothing like that there
I usually love happy endings and I was expecting B. Willis to survive and win. But I loved the ending, I don't get why so many hated it. When Glass said "It's an origin story", it gave me chills. I think Shyamalan ended his trilogy in a beautiful way, while opening the door for many possibilities with other characters.
Spencer Treat Clark has done excellent acting as Joseph Dunn.Great review...
And I agree with Chris..Nobody needs our permission to express his/her art.great saying..
G L A S S plays with your emotions.
@Lee H. lol 😂😂
I feel like one of the reasons this movie mostly works is because of both Split and Unbreakable. With the large gap between both, it garnered two generations of fans; the people who saw Unbreakable in theatres and around that time of its release, and the people who saw Split in theatres and around the time of that release. Two groups people who had each a phenomenal film that they hold dear, and then the culmination of both within this.
Eloquent, heartfelt and thoughtful dissertation. Kudos, Chris.
I love that these 3 films are all about broken people. David Dunn is a cold, almost emotionless wreck who then finds purpose when he realizes his potential. He dies because his aim is too narrow; he never considered such a wide-ranging conspiracy. Elijah is a fragile man desperately searching for meaning who eventually dies as a result of his evil deeds (the Beast kills him because the train wreck killed his father). The most tragic is Keven. Abused. Fractured. Only "evil" because he created a persona who could avenge abuse. He dies only after he finally opens himself up to the idea of compassion, and is then killed by an uncaring cabal. Yes, there's a mixed message. Elijah was not a good person. However, he led a life filled with pain and fear of pain, but he hoped for a better world regardless of the cost. It's a messy message delivered through a messy trilogy.
+Jeff Myers Did he really want a better world? I'm not sure he wanted a "better" world really he just wanted the real world to come forward.
Or I guess better in his eyes but I think we as the audience need to get that he is the bad guy, he wants superheroes and supervillains to fight each other and put people in danger because of his warped perception of the world.I don't think it's messy exactly but misinterpreted for sure, we as the audience need to take a step back and realize *we* want superheroes and action, everyone in their world wouldn't really benefit from it.
If I had to interject, the film is called “glass” so the focal point would be the villains.
Usually how a film ends determines who’s movie it is in context to narrative characters. Same goes for Avengers Infinity War, if Thor won, it would be his movie.
Unbreakable 10/10
Split 8/10
Glass 9/10
Overall a great trilogy
I loved this movie. I think Shymalan did a good job leaving a lot of things ambiguous, although some of things that he attempted to clear up during the movie turned out to not work.
I would've never thought that in a movie with a guy with super strenght who fights crime and a man who can replace his personality with a beast like creature, the most badass of all the characters in a movie is a guy in a wheel chair.
True
Say what you want bout M.Night but he is a true artist. In this day and age of Hollywood recycling everything he takes risks and comes up with creative concepts. Sure most of em don’t do well but still as an artist, coming up with new ideas and taking risks is probably the best thing you could do. Something that is rare in hollywood these days.
He shots every film the exact same way. The same slow tempo, the same pov shots. He's a one trick pony/artist if i ever saw one
@Nigrescence What cartoon are you talking about?
@@Winnetou64 The Last Airbender.
@@TheBraunMachine2011 Ah, I see, thank you. Haven't seen this movie because I heard it was bad and is not an original work of Shyamalan. But well, very few artists never fuck up. 😅
Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers, rian johnson, David fincher, and Jordan peele are all good examples of directors who take "risks". These are just active filmmakers.
Night is nothing special. Many have written more original and creative stories than him, and many have done it much more effectively.
Oof i havent clicked so fast on anything. Ive been waiting for this video.
thatonegameguy same here.
Only thing I would click on quicker is Haunting of Hill House
@@loudryka true 😂
Yo. This!
thatonegameguy me too
Dear Chris with lockdown comes great responsibly..so I've you tubed more than usual..and found your reviews on my favourite writer/director M.night. and its refreshing to know you speak my views..bang on man . Unbreakable is a master piece. With the exception of the happening they all are ..even airbender is good ask my daughter's.
Thanks man I've been stuckmannized. Stay safe everyone x
Mr. Glass' plan is kind of genius. One would expect in an age of supers (especially those in the unbreakable universe where comic books and movies have become common) that the villains plan would be grand (much like what he uses to bait Paulson's character), but he pulls the rug out from under both her and the audience that the real plan is something as little as leaking information. It makes him like Magneto, a bad guy who on occasion would work with the heroes to take down a threat. Granted, the film could have emphasized this by maybe receiving a secret message at the beginning with Dunn by Glass via the computer we see Glass use in the film.
I dunno, the very ending seems to try to feel grandiose, and special. But I just didn't get any emotion from it at all, I get that Elijah gets his dream, but our other two characters die so unsatisfyingly.
I.
LOVE.
CHRIS.
STUCKMAN!
Totally made me see Glass in a new way!
to me it's an A+: very smart screenplay and beautiful directing
👍
@Harry Cutler Yes , It's Our Opinion
@tyler durden here I am fellow humans, I am definitely human like you
Unbreakable is a 5/5 film imo
Split is a 4/5 film
Glass is between Split and Unbreakable for me
Dankest Media split is more like a 4.5/5 for me
For me split and unbreakable are both 5/5 but glass is a 4/5
They are all 5/5 for me
Real life events are often way more disappointing than Shamaladingdong's twist ending. An example: Toni Collette is snubbed by Oscar
Lol dat tru and Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther getting best picture nominees
I LOVED split and LOVED glass. A pretty amazing trilogy. I hope that they do a Blu Ray set of it.
Hey Chris, about the hypnosis light thing, it has been shown that when mcavoy's alter tries to hide behind the nurse when he gives the insulin syringe. It can be inferred that closing eyes won't work but hiding from the hypnosis light in a shadow does work. After all human skin is sensitive to light, not just the eyes.
