    James McAvoy was so good in this that not only were his characters all unique from each other, but he did so well portraying them that he could change from one character to another and you could tell which one it was without him even saying a word. Just posture and facial expression. Also - there was a twist ending. The twist was that this is a sequel to Unbreakable. I wish you hadn't been spoiled as it was a big gasp moment in the theaters.

      @@Number0neSon That was the 2nd thing I actually watched her in after Split. Initially, I actually didn't like The VVitch.
      The entire movie was fantastic, but the dialogue was so confusing for me that I had absolutely no idea what was even going on in the film. I struggled horribly when we had to read things like Shakespeare in school because of the dialogue. I literally had to have my sister read it to me and explain what was even going on. And SparkNotes saved me during those units.
      I saw a reactor I like, explain The VVitch really well so I could understand what was happening. I had to watch a bunch of explanation videos and then rewatch it to appreciate it more. I had to do the same with The Lighthouse. Robert Eggers loves his authentic dialogue but my brain can't comprehend it.
      When I initially watched it though, Anya was my favorite and stole the show for me, naturally. She also was the most understandable based on the context clues she provided.

    As someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder it is always terrifying to see how people will react to this movie. Because unfortunately as much as people say "It's obviously not real, no one is going to compare you to that" people really do. We've had so many friends panic when I say I'm dissociating and ask if they need to leave because this movie was the only exposure they have to DID. There are no "evil alters" and every alter has the singular purpose of keeping the body and the system safe. Sometimes they dont understand the best way to do that and have conflicting thoughts. The best way to describe it is that you shatter a plate on the ground, no singular piece is the "original" piece. Each of those pieces has a trauma that is kept separate so they can all live on a day to day basis. TW for this next bit. For example, we have an alter called Arlow who handles our car crash trauma. This means that if another alter has to get in the car and drive somewhere they can, because they have no memory of the trauma. But if we're in the car and we hear tires screeching it can trigger her out (like how Kevin is triggered by the use of his full name). Thank you guys for not demonising DID within the context of this movie, its very refreshing to see people keeping it separate. It is very well portrayed (other than the beast, kidnapping, etc) by James McAvoy as each alter being a completely different person. Unfortunately i think thats why so many people cant tell where the line is, because he portrays it all in such a real way its hard to tell when it goes into the "fantastical". Long story short people with DID are far more likely to continue to be victims of abuse. We're not scary, the REAL horrors are what causes Dissociative Identity Disorder to occur. The awful traumas inflicted on children that cause a shatter of the mind.

      @justarandomveryintelligent8934 Рік тому +17

      For me the second you see Bruce Willis on screen as David Dunne talking about Mr. Glass you're supposed to recontextualize the whole film as existing in a super hero universe. For me that means the talk about DID sufferers that have alters who can see and alters who are blind, manifesting diabetes in alters etc, thats the non realism.Thats the stuff you throw out of the equation. I also never saw The Horde as particularly evil even though they kidnapped people. They're just trying to protect Kevin the only way they know how. They just decided the best way to do that was at the expense of other people. I think the only big mistake in terms of the portrayal of DID is that they waited until the end of the movie to reveal that we've been in a superhero universe the whole time and I think because the audience has spent so long thinking this meant to be a realistic film that the end reveal comes too late to properly contextualize the realism and lack thereof in the film, All that being said, a lot of people don't think that deeply about movies and what they're actually saying about their subject matter. I don't blame the film for people's perception of DID so much as I blame a lack of media literacy on the part of some members of the audience.

      Your input is well received (I speak for myself only). I didn't realize how little I actually know about DID, other than tv & movies & UA-cam portrayals. I am sure they are less than accurate most of the time. I promise myself I will become more knowledgeable about DID.
      It is horrible the terrible things people do to others. I hope your trauma is less as an adult, I'll pray for your childhood self. The human mind is a complicated thing.
      Pertaining to the movie: I saw this when it was newly released, many years ago, in the theater. I remember being so freaked out at one point in the movie that I screamed out loud!! Very embarrassing! No one seemed to mind but ME. That said, the actors were exceptional. The caring, informed nature of the psychiatrist surprised me most. She certainly put herself in vulnerable situations, that was hard to believe.
      Regarding your reactions: Thank you. I never really thought about it before, but M. Night does center his movies around mental health a lot. I seem to like his movies less, now that you pointed that out. There is enough stigma around mental health without a false narrative to warp our feelings and behaviors. Good movie review.

One guy is a professional licensed therapist and the other is a licensed filmmaker. They ultimately came to the conclusion that Split is a good movie, but definitely not a good source of psychology. Moon Knight while also having good writing is also more accurate to the whole thing of DID and more considerate of the audience who may have it. They even say the therapy scene in Moon Knight was good, even if it was a magical hallucination. They're a really wholesome duo and if you loved how this video reacted to this movie, I have a feeling you'll adore these guys

It’s funny but frightening. And yes, JM is great in this role. He’s doing fearless work. FYI I read in an interview that MNS told him what he wanted JM to do in that scene, like ‘just do a dance’ and JM came up with a story that he ends up doing, telling the story thru the dance.

They still could've done their own thing, but had modern conveniences. But, I guess that was kind of the point of choosing that time period, to not be involved in the modern life and horrors.

      Yes it was because in Unbreakable, Bruce’s character bumps into a mother and son and in his head he hears “No Mommy, Please No” which is the son begging his mom to not hurt him. Bruce’s character turns and looks at the mother as she walks away. It was clearly a young Kevin who was the son.

    This was a good movie! M. Night is well known for his supernatural stories with twist endings.
    What makes this film exceptional is that not many realized it was a sequel to 'Unbreakable' at first until it was shown at the end.
    Not many movies can pull off that surprise factor every time. If they did, we would go see them much more often.
    P.S. - Please check out & react to 'As Above, So Below' when you get the chance. It's a good scary movie to watch.

      No one saw it coming! How brilliant was it to have this be a sequel to a film that came out at least 10 years earlier!! And Shyamalan wanted to make this much soon but it just never was the right timing. There’s actually a scene in Unbreakable where they show a Mom being very aggressive with her son at I believe a baseball game & that was supposed to be Kevin, he planned for that! But luckily he did wait because if he hadn’t he probably wouldn’t have gotten James & he is what makes this film!

    “Morgan”. I really suggest you check her out in that. It was the first film that I saw her in and WOW! What an introduction!

    Glass fell flat for me sadly, but i can't deny that Shyamalan has no problem of going for his vision, for better or worse. At the very least it's always interesting to see what exactly he's come up with.

Ms. Joy is, also, good as a drug addicted chess champion in a tv series (someone, please, help with the title). Another performance of an actor playing multiple characters is Noomi Repace in What Happened To Monday. Not as good as this performance, but, very good. Instead of one person with multiple personalities, she plays seven identical sisters, each with different personalities.
