Director M. Knight Shyamalan's feature films have always been closely watched by the film industry. It is believed that many fans knew the great director through the supernatural thriller and suspense film "Undead". In 2017, director Shyamalan launched multiple personalities. In the movie "Split", Kevin, played by James McAvoy, suffers from schizophrenia. He was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with 24 multiple personalities. The sequel to "Mr. Glass".
Based on the myth of superheroes, director Shyamalan takes the audience to another theme: people can acquire superpowers through their own beliefs, "Mr. Glass" is different from the previous classic superhero feature films, the film is carried out in the aspect of personal spirituality In-depth discussion, and trying to deconstruct the myth behind superheroes in a scientific way, the film wants to express a fascinating story of good and evil, and what is called a "superhero".
The main characters of "Mr. Glass" are Mr. Glass played by Samuel L. Jackson, David played by Bruce Willis, and Kevin played by James McAvoy. The story begins with "Undead", comic collector Mr. Glass opened the sixth sense superpower of survivor David. The accident of the train indirectly affected the growth of Kevin in "Split". Kevin had a split personality under the long-term abuse of his mother. Capability Owner".
Mr. Glass has super strong reasoning and analysis ability, he tries to reveal the existence of all "superpowers" in the world; Kevin has multiple personalities, mainly led by "beasts", he can constantly "switch" different personalities ; David has great power and eradicates evil for the city, and is a self-righteous defender.
In "Mr. Glass", Dr. Ellie is ostensibly a psychiatrist, but actually works for a special organization, specializing in the study of those alternative "superpower owners", she tries to use the medical theory of psychiatry to convince "superpowers". "Power-holders", the so-called superpowers are just fantasies of "superheroes" in comic books, a common paranoia.
Director Shyamalan created a lot of dramatic scenes in "Mr. Glass", how David pursued Kevin and Mr. Glass, how Mr. Glass trapped Kevin and David, and added action and music to specific plots to create suspense The only regret is that the plot is too complicated, the eloquent and nutritious spiritual dialogue, until the last scene, the film has a new reversal, Mr. Glass used the surveillance system to record Kevin and David Super power, proves the existence of "super power owner" to the world.
In the end director Shyamalan just repeated the messages from "The Undead" and "Split," ending the trilogy with an imperfect narrative that ruined what could have been a classic film franchise.
