19 years, three movies, one big conspiracy theory

I don't know when such a trilogy was planned, but the wonderful span in this way adds to the authenticity. In 19 years, how does a person who has seen the previous work and then sees the current sequel feel? I am afraid some of the ideas are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Let me first say that the manipulation of consciousness in the whole movie is great. To be honest, it convinced me. I am also doubting whether their superpowers are real, but even the superpowers themselves doubt it. I have to say that this aspect is also very ironic today. Atheists, with seemingly "scientific" explanations, can also distort facts.

Through the trilogy, the director tells a story from the most realistic perspective that everyone only thinks is the plot of a movie. The real world makes people think deeply, so directly denying the existence of superpowers in reality, can it explain a long history? Is the organization successful?

However, some places can't stand scrutiny. With such a sophisticated organization, it is too easy for Mr. Glass to escape. The plot design here is obviously not hard work.

    There are certain signs in life that may have once made us think that we are extraordinary. Neshamalan's interpretation of multiple personalities out of reality due to a huge self-fear or trauma is another superhero talent ability. In an attempt to let the world see self-existence, awakening, facing self-doubt, and finally sacrificing self-martyrdom, the mix of various film-type languages ​​is just another wonderful popular science and selfish interpretation of the hero formula. Powerful and resourceful villains are set, but their own weaknesses are also the strongest and most powerful, and the contradictions inherent in real human nature are fascinating. Life itself is a tragicomedy, and we struggle with it. Different from the "superhuman" and "hero" that are dealt with in commercial film vocabulary, in Naishamaran's cosmology, it is enlightenment, a self-destructive romance of artistic character, and "hero comics" has become another real world existence under the skeptical view. with human beliefs. "They always underestimate the mastermind" is a powerful language that ignites everyone's heroic feelings, rehabilitates those who have doubted because of their unique self, and a willful resistance to the banalization of the system.

    David Dunn's first appearance in Punishment appeared on the video and the Internet. In contrast to the final reversal, in a "contemporary" environment, "cameras" are always ubiquitous. In the same way, the people who watched the video that was passed down in the end were just like the audience watching this superhero legend outside the "camera". The monitor inside the play and the camera lens outside the play formed a subtly echo. As Glass said, he's not going to be an ending story, but an origin story and kindle the fire. The nearly lengthy foreshadowing of the mental hospital tries to make the audience outside the camera also fall into a state of suspicion, continuing with the theme of "believe" in the undead catastrophe, but Mr. Glass's elusiveness is not close to the bug. The use of flashbacks is close to the point of flooding, just to illustrate that the awakening of the protagonist's ability always has a tragic childhood as the source. The front is really not good enough, but the reversal at the end is quite amazing, completing the construction of the world view. Only Shyamalan dares to take such an anti-climax filming method, turning the manga into a superhero film, and the characters correspond to the comic heroes: "Did you know that Superman can't fly in his first appearance?" Mr. Undead in a cape!
