    “The audience used to be up for new ideas every weekend.” I don’t love everything M. Night makes, but I love that he gets to keep making movies that are unapologetically his own in an industry that so rarely gives us original stories.

      I agree. I feel his earlier movies are more higher quality and there has been a decline with the exception of Split. The Village imo is one of his best movies. The score alone is magnificent. I saw Trap the other day and I'm sorry its just a bad movie. Feel like he made it just to have his daughter sing and it was the worst part of the movie. However i am a BIG fan of M. Night Shyamalan.

    • @Chrisratata
      @Chrisratata 5 місяців тому +10

      If I can play devils advocate for a moment and shed some light on why, the way the directing/editing showcases his performance comes across a bit caricature-like moreso than character. Award shows have a tendency to like nuanced performances. A collection of isolated impressions, no matter how great and distinct those impressions are, isn't the same thing as playing a character with layers that responds to the complexities of the story and fellow characters more deeply.
      And no I'm not defending the countless nominations and wins for performances that weren't that great, just pointing out how I can see how someone could see his performance as just being a bunch of surface-level impressions..as opposed to really digging into any of those characters. And on some level, the screenplay maybe didn't give him but so much opportunity to do that.
      Al Pacino in The Godather 1 and 2, and Denzel Washington in Training Day would be examples of layered performances.

    To this day, M. Night made the BEST comic book movie. He fully encompassed the spirit of what comics are about, by not only taking us through an impeccable origin story for a hero, but also of a villain. Incredible story telling.

    Split really is a masterpiece. Some of the best writing, acting and directing, its a true show of MNS's talent. I don't know how to explain it but it has a feel that's very unique. Definitely a favorite of mine, especially the end.

    huge fan of M. Night, his storytelling is wonderful, a treat for cinema-goers. He has some very powerful scenes in movies, one of my favorites is Lady in the Water, and the cookbook scene. Powerful writing. I wish him nothing but more success in the future to come.

    • @tomaskadlec9534

      Lady in the water's story feels ridiculously random. Like he was just making the scenes up on the spot with the crew without really bothering what they sound like. I love The Village so I was willing to give Lady in the Water some pacience but it's just so bad :D :D except for the music, the music is awesome, sounds a lot like Nightwish

Brilliant acting the scene at the dinner table Mel Gibson crying and eating off of everyones plate and the scene of Joaquin Phoenix in the closet and swing away Merle. There are so many amazing scenes and brilliant directing for M. Night. Amazing movie. I also love The Village and 6th Sense was ahead of its time and still scares me and makes my hair stand up. Split is awesome too. Looking forward to Trap.

    I always thought of him as a real artist. He puts out what he wants and doesn’t care if the general audience gets it or not because he knows someone will and that’s who the movie is for. I feel like he's who Tim Burton thinks he is to the industry.

I'm always happy to watch any of his movies because each one feels like an experience, a journey... Split is one of my favourite movies of all time; it stands strong as an individual movie, and James McAvoy gave the performers of a lifetime... absolutely deserved an Oscar.

    The Village is one of my favorite movies of all time. It has a legendary cast, hauntingly gorgeous music, and a twisted plot. They marketed it as a scary movie which I think ultimately upset viewers because the point was that reality in and of itself is terrifying and it had nothing to do with the supernatural

    He's definitely on the same level with the great directors (Tarantino, Nolan, Scott, Cameron, Villeneuve, etc). His willingness to risk and bank on his original ideas, whether successful or not, is admirable. With the exception of The Happening (which is funny at how bad it is) and The Last Airbender (even he regrets it i bet 🤣) his movies are bonafide iconic classics
