The whole film is based on a myth and legend from the far east, so the audience's understanding and love of this legend directly affects the feeling of the film. However, Shyamalan took a bedtime story he made up for his children as the main line of the whole movie, which seemed a bit desperate.
What has changed with the arrival of Story? To clear the writer's mind? But what happens after clarity? It will affect a person who can change the world. She said it herself, and we have not seen it, which will make people doubt the credibility. And everyone in the building easily believed that Story was a fairy, and did not show the slightest unease or panic. Is there really no firm atheist in the West? I still don't understand how that kid looked at the cereal box and read God's will.
Maybe the original intention of the director to make this movie was not for everyone to accept, maybe it was just to wait for his children to grow up and tell him, do you still remember childhood bedtime stories. Look, this is the movie Dad made for you back in the day.
