Glass (2019)

Watched at a theater January 25, 2019 (matinee)

I liked this movie although the tsunami of negative reviews almost put me off seeing it in a theater.. While I have a few minor complaints regarding the pacing at the beginning and some of the editing (plus M. Night's cameo was a little long for my taste), but overall I enjoyed this film. I wonder how many of the negative reviewers had also seen Unbreakable and Spilt.




I liked this movie. However, knowledge of facts, themes and characters from M. Night Shyamalan's movies Unbreakable(2000) and Spilt (2016) are essential to a full enjoyment of this film. Perhaps to most critics that is contrary to their view of film, but I was fine with that prerequisite.



I think Mr. Glass's view was to the long game, kind of like weakening a wall (sorry about that) with a single but steady drip of (yes I am doing it) water. Actually slowly would be best for humanity especially in terms of a biological and sociological evolutionary turn.I kind of wish David Dunn's son had perhaps intervened, if only by shouting "Dad no" , but I am fine with M. Night's reasoning. Besides, could anyone ever picture Bruce Willis coming back? Ooooo just had a thought, maybe David Dunn is in a coma. I bet Bruce Willis would sign on to another movie for that part!
