A new trilogy has begun. 👀 Click here to watchalong with me!

Thank you to everyone who voted for this in the Member of the Month poll last month! And thanks to JonJohns for picking this in the first place!

I broke a rule of mine and did some minor digging on this movie prior to watching it. Not enough to spoil myself on the story at all, but enough to understand that this movie isn't a stand-alone film. Yes, I will be watching Split and Glass as well to complete the trilogy.

I'm looking forward to discussing this!

Cheers,

I love the small little themes at play. Knowing your place in the world. How David is sad because he's not doing what he's supposed to be doing is comment on depression. Also how, like when Robin Wright's character commented on Elijah, some people get broken so much that their mind gets broken too. Such a great look at trauma and how it manifests in people. Which I think is also how David and Elijah are different. Elijah remembers every break whereas David doesn't remember almost drowning, the car accident, and never being sick. It's almost like his mind can't be broken either. So his defense mechanism is to forget.

one of my favorite early 2000s movie so good I watch it every chance I get. I do like for most superheros name Bruce Willis character first and last name start with the same letter. Samuel L. Jackson was incredible in this role. excited for the next reaction

Great reaction as usual. Man I was late to the party on this post, it slipped past me lol. I really enjoy this trilogy, and look forward to the other reactions.

NO SPOILERS, AND PLEASE DON'T SPOIL BY RESPONDING TO MY THOUGHTS BELOW: Hi! So, I haven't yet seen "Split" and "Glass," so you can rest assured that there are no spoilers coming. I haven't been reading the comments on this reaction because you mentioned people mentioning spoilers, and I don't want to have either movie spoiled for me either. I may have mentioned before, but I was introduced to M. Night. Shyamalan in the form of a marathon. I saw a certain movie (I won't say which because I know you don't like expectation spoilers either), and I loved it SO much that I couldn't stop raving about it. My dad decided after an hour of me blabbing about the movie I'd seen to show me the other three he had in his collection at the time. Personally, I liked them all. I may have suggested some on your suggestions form. I can't remember. I don't know how this movie would spoil any of the other movies. I don't want to read the comments to find out for fear of spoilers, but I guess I'll figure it out later when I watch more of them. I'm just not sure how anything in the first part of a trilogy could spoil anything else in the trilogy. I mean, the first part is SUPPOSED to set up events for future parts of the trilogy, right? I'm very confused at the moment. I do look forward to finding out more in the other parts of the series. I'll be doing my first watch of "Split" and "Glass" right along with you. Assuming I can ever find our copy of "Split." We have digital copies of "Unbreakable" and "Glass," but for some reason we have a hard copy of "Split." When my dad gets home I'll ask him where it is. We just reorganized my dad's DVD/Blu-Ray collection recently to find "Pump Up the Volume," so if anything we're missing was in the house, we would have found it. I have to assume one of my uncles borrowed it. One final note: If you're a fan of shows that take familiar concepts like superheroes or aliens or whatever and present them in a different way like this one did, you may want to check out Season One of "Heroes." It also had a different sort of vibe for the subject it tackled. POSSIBLE SUPER-MINOR SPOILER FOLLOWS? There are four seasons of "Heroes", but you wouldn't have to commit to watching it all. The first season (25 episodes I think?) stands on its own pretty well. I hope you don't consider that a spoiler. It doesn't give away anything about the content or anything.
