In short, the audience needs to walk out of the theater believing that the filmmaker was intelligent and clever for tricking them in the way that he did. All this, and the audience is supposed to leave the film both feeling satisfied and feeling like they fell for something clever and well-constructed. Shyamalan's intention for this film is to make it feel like a naturally progressing story, and yet also to make you think it's one film when it's really a completely different film the whole time. Both of these tendencies come into play in Glass.
He is also not a subtle filmmaker - see also casting himself as a brilliant writer in The Lady in the Water. Night Shyamalan has had an enlarged sense of his own importance in the past - see also casting himself as a brilliant writer in The Lady in the Water.
#SCREENIT SPLIT SHYAMALAN RATED MOVIE#
It’s not a good movie by any means, in fact it’s a roll-your-eyes bad one, but one that brings entertainment in how stupid it is.Įven as filmmakers go, M. For example, a character gets pregnant at one point, and the way how that scenario comes about is there are many unanswered questions and one of those questions is does sexual education even need to exist if younglings can find this all out by themselves no problemo? Look, this movie gets weird, okay? You kind of wonder how much crazier this film can get, which results in an enjoyable watching experience. The movie tries to built this feeling of tension and dread, but it comes off as stupid and as such quite laughable. There isn’t a dull moment in this, but it’s not for the right reasons.
I can say safely that I did enjoy myself from beginning to the end. Throughout this movie you sit there wondering “is this a comedy?” For this movie features so many evidently unintentional funny moments, purely from how weird and at times ludicrous it is. However in this movie all of them are caricatured, act strange and their characters constantly make questionable decisions and are generally unlikable. Also younger Hollywood talent Alex Wolff and Thomasin McKenzie make appearances. Which is surprising as the film features a generally talented cast including renowned Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal, Vicky Krieps (who managed to hold her own opposite masterclass actor Daniel Day-Lewis in his final film before retirement Phantom Thread) and Rufus Sewell who is known for his sleazy creepy overbearingly uneasy villainous roles. Didn’t help that the actors delivering the lines didn’t do a particularly great job either. Characters speak like they are puppets reading from a monitor and whenever someone is talking about something medical or scientific it feels like the scriptwriter (who also happens to be Shyamalan, that cheeky rascal) simply Googled the facts and copied and pasted them into the dialogue without trying to re-edit it somewhat to make it sound like a real life person is saying them. The dialogue is astonishingly badly written. how do I go about describing Old? As stated prior, the film features a clever synopsis, however all the rest surrounding that plot is, to put it in a nutshell - silly.
