Definitely an underrated good movie

The first time I saw this movie was 10 years ago.
Relive it again, I am excited!
Probably because there are so many things in my heart that I want to say, being said so well by someone far away.

Let's first look at a sentence in the "Tao De Jing":
Therefore, there is no intergrowth, difficulty and easy interdependence, long and short intercourse, superior and inferior intercourse, harmony of sound and sound, followed by each other.

If you were to create the world, how would you make everything look less boring and flat?

Why are there fools in the world? Will there be ugly things? Will there be disability?
How should they know themselves?
It turns out that stupidity and cleverness, ugliness and beauty, disability and soundness, are one!
Polarity, yes, it is polarity, which is a basic principle for constructing our world.
This movie tells the process of two people's self-knowledge. One is the self in the mirror of the other. Comrade Samuel Jackson has a higher level of self-consciousness, while Bruce Willis is in the sadness of waking up every morning. middle.

As for comics, heroes, football, marriage, sons... these are all materials and packaging. To tell a story well, almost no shots are superfluous, and the angles of each shot are very clever.
This movie will be re-evaluated.

    The real world is not the same as the grid comics, the ending is unexpected

    Silly Maran + Willis. Most of the previous tunes are more pretending, and they reversed in the last 5 minutes. The reversal of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" can only mean this kind of pediatric reversal. Two and a half stars.

Unbreakable quotes

  • Elijah Price: I followed the guy in the camouflage jacket. He had a silver gun with a black grip tucked in the back of his pants. Were you really injured in that car crash in college? Because I believe you faked it. I believe you took the opportunity to end your football career, no questions asked. And I think you did it, of all things, for a woman. I guess that makes sense. Football's what... just ten years? But love? Mmm. Now that's forever. And that little bit of sadness in the mornings you spoke of? I think I know what that is. Perhaps you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing.

    David Dunn: Most guns have a black or silver handle. I had a 50/50 shot of getting it right.

    Elijah Price: That's not what I witnessed.

    David Dunn: Stop. Stop messing with my life, Elijah. My son almost shot me last night because he wanted to prove you were right.

    Elijah Price: I never said you couldn't be killed. I never said that.

    David Dunn: My wife was right.

    Elijah Price: There have been three major disasters and you were the only one unharmed.

    David Dunn: I have been sick. When I was a kid, I spent a week in the hospital getting better from pneumonia. I almost drowned. Two skinny little kids were fooling around in a pool dunking me and I swallowed some water. They didn't know it and it almost killed me. Heroes don't get killed like that. Normal people do, right? I don't need to see you anymore, okay? Please stay away from my family.

  • [Elijah is sitting alone in the living room of his apartment staring at the TV]

    Elijah's Mother: No more sittin' in this room. I let it go on long enough.

    Elijah Age 13: I'm not goin' out there any more. I'm not getting hurt again. This was the last time, I told you.

    Elijah's Mother: You might fall between this chair and that television. If that's what God has planned for you, that's what's gonna happen. You can't hide from it sittin' in a room.

    Elijah Age 13: They call me Mr. Glass at school 'cause I break like glass.

    Elijah's Mother: You make this decision now... to be afraid... and you will never turn back. Your whole life, you will always be afraid.

    [beat]

    Elijah's Mother: I got a present for you.

    Elijah Age 13: Why?

    Elijah's Mother: Forget why. You want it or not?

    [Elijah nods]

    Elijah's Mother: Well, go get it then.

    Elijah Age 13: Where is it?

    Elijah's Mother: On a bench. Across the street.

    [Elijah and his mother look at the window. There is a bright purple wrapped gift outside sitting on a bench]

    Elijah Age 13: Someone's gonna take it.

    Elijah's Mother: Then you better get out there soon.
