The best in the world, still beautiful

The Shyamalan version of the superhero universe has been paving the way for 19 years, and it is not easy to change one of the leading and supporting roles. The three male protagonists and the three relatives and friends in the final chapter are all very solid in their acting skills, and none of them dropped. In particular, I would like to mention Yimei, who has the most scenes in the whole film. This time, there are a few more personalities than in "Split". The emotional processing is still very meticulous. The audience can easily distinguish which lines are dominated by which personality. The fast-paced line arrangement of the second sentence that switches a personality is really a fairy act. Excellent acting is excellent, but the script setting always feels that there are some problems. For the final sublimation, the two-hour, ten-minute film spent an hour and a half exploring the beast and David's self-awareness. Many of the plots in the middle are slightly lengthy, and the final ending is a bit steep. I was looking forward to the ultimate confrontation of the three superheroes. Sparks splashed in the battle, but they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of the anti-superhero organization. . The randomness of the ending is simply unacceptable. In contrast, it is better to cut off the last 5 minutes forcibly lengthened. The idea and disclosure are made by the fusion of the doctor's flashback and the final dictation of the three protagonists, which is more appropriate. In addition, there are too many fixed shots and close-up/close-up shots used by the director, which makes the film obviously lack some dynamic sense of space, and the overall effect of this film is much brighter than that of "Split", which requires more angles. Shots are used to enrich the structure of the scene, rather than shooting in a single direction.

Glass quotes

  • Patricia: How? How did you get here without anyone seeing you?

    Elijah Price: Ma'am. I'm here to see if the tales of the extraordinary being are real, the half-man, half-creature.

    Patricia: Patricia. But I appreciate your manners. I don't know anymore.

    Elijah Price: I'm a comic book expert, Patricia. I believe comic books are a continuation of documentation that has gone on for centuries of what humans are capable of. That they are someone somewhere saw or left. Are you aware that spandex, the underwear on the outside, and boots come from strongmen in the circus in the 1930s?

    Patricia: No.

    Elijah Price: The freak show men who could do incredible feats of strength. I urge you to look past the capes and monologuing villains. Are you with me?

    Patricia: Yes.

    Elijah Price: I only have a minute left. I believe The Beast may be part of this. There are references to man/animal characters. The dual character, the man who has abilities like animals. I'd like to meet The Beast, see if he's real. If he is, then I'll get us all out of here tomorrow night. What's upsetting you, Patricia?

    Patricia: What if he can't do these extraordinary things? What if he is just unwell? Like you.

    Elijah Price: Everything extraordinary can be explained away, and yet it is true. I think deep down you know this. Everything we will see and do will have a basis in science. But it will have limits. This is the real world, not a cartoon. And yet some of us don't die from bullets. Some of us can still bend steel. That is not a fantasy.

  • Mrs. Price: They always underestimate the mastermind.
