Hey Paul, great breakdown! Have you ever watched 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 with Michael B. Jordan? That’s another early 2000s superhero movie with the premise of “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹? 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲..... 𝙛𝙧 𝙛𝙧??” I remember enjoying it and would love to see your take on it! 🙏🏽👀
I want to take a moment to give Bruce Willis his flowers in light of his health condition. He is one of my top 5 best actors and has been my 80's/90's heartthrob.
Yeah, this is definitely the end of an era. I always saw him as one of the top 3 perfect tough guy hero dudes in action movies. Fifth Element will always be my favorite one of his.
Some more easter eggs: 13:52 - Elijah discusses these "realistic depictions" - hero's square jaw, villain's disproportionate head to the body - David is played by Bruce Willis, a man with a prominent, masculine square jaw, and Sam L Jackson's hairstyle makes his head look disproportionately large to the rest of his body (though SLJ chose this style to model on Frederick Douglas, a slave abolitionist in the 1800s). 17:56 - David walks through the crowd and brushes past people the way he does to those in the train station later on. As he goes past the man with the gun the music dies out subtly, but there is no immediate indication that he has touched him or noticed something other than the audio and David's reaction. A great move here by M. Night as it slowly builds up this ESP David has, letting us gradually get more of an idea of what it is and how David perceives it. 18:33 - this increased measures in security very much reflect our post-9/11 culture in airport security and monitoring actions. An eerie move on M. Night's part as this came 10 months before 9/11. It's very much believed that, much like Elijah's biology is rooted in true-science of Type 1 Osteogenesis-Imperfecta, David may have a hyper-exaggerated version of Myostatin-Related-Muscle-Hypertrophy - a real disorder in which people who have this don't have the growth hormone Myostatin that inhibits excess muscle growth (if we have too much muscle we struggle to move/run etc and several scientists have manufactured ways to inhibit this GH and breed cattle with huge muscle mass). This reflects Elijah as he is another individual missing a biological element that give him his powers. Coupled with this, David is also indicated to have extra skeletal density. Put this together with his Myostatin-Related-Muscle-Hypertrophy and you have the exact reason David is afraid of water and can't swim. People with this disorder never learn to float on water as they are so dense in muscle and skeletal properties that they sink! Very subtle real world science, but fantastic groundwork to this superhero-epic!
Unbreakable remains my all time favorite superhero movie just because of how grounded and realistic it felt. No cheesy action or superpower effects. On top of that, it felt very noir despite being set in a present-day time.
This movie was definitely overlooked and under appreciated when it was released. I remember watching it in theatres 3 times and everyone I knew either thought I was weird or said they just didn't get it. I knew it was something special and I was just a kid. Rewatched it after all these years and it's still a masterpiece. Bruce Willis was so magnetic in this role and the score is unforgettable.
I think a lot of its initial reception was because of its marketing. People didn't know what kind of movie to expect and it absolutely wasn't what the trailers promised. I remember them being very action forward, while the movie is actually kind of a character drama. Now that it's had enough time to be divorced from its marketing campaign, people are appreciating it more.
This movie was at least a decade ahead of its time, I even had to admit when I saw it in the theaters and I thought it was just ok, now I think it’s one of the best super hero origin movies ever made.
I love these breakdowns you’ve been doing of these slightly older, great movies. Such a cool way to introduce people to movies that they may not have seen or appreciated at the time of their release. You keep making them, I’ll keep watching them.
I remember watching it when it came out and being surprised at the lackluster reception. Glad that it's getting recognised today for the wonderful work that it is. M.Night really was ahead of his time.
The movie is both subtle and heavy handed in its plot points, especially in the super hero references. Super powers very much come across as cheating reality, as they make people seem better at their jobs then they actually are, and make the victories seem unearned. I think audiences didn't appreciate this, and that was my feeling at the time as well. This movie had a lot of plot points that went nowhere, and I really didn't feel anything for our hero, who comes across as something of a loser in the A plot, even though his 'press A to win' powers come through in the end.
Something that's really impressive to me is, M. knight was basically trying to do what the MCU ended up doing years before the MCU came to existence. If he was allowed to make his sequels then, he'd be seen in an even higher light especially considering he was using original characters and not already established cultural icons. Legendary.
I'm loving the breakdowns for these older movies. These movies are bangers that a lot of people have forgotten about or haven't seen at all. Keep it up!
As somebody who's always been a villain fan, mister glass is probably one of the best portrayals of a villain you will ever see... No superpowers no one limited money...just beats you with his mind
I liked the color analysis you did. I'd like to add that purple and green are complementary colors, which means they're opposites on the color wheel, as opposite as glass and David are.
Apologies for the necro; I just found this channel recently. Kinda surprised no one pointed this out, but no, green and purple aren’t complementary colors. *However*, green, purple, and orange as a trio are all secondary colors, each being formed by a mixture of two primary colors… Green and purple share *blue*, which could be linked to the common weakness of water between David Dunn and Mr. Glass. Purple and orange share *red*, the color of blood (in this case, in the sense of “blood on their hands”) and the color most frequently associated with evil besides black.
"You wanna know why, David?? It was because of the kids! They called me 'Mr. Glass'." "I know who I am." I love how Elijah is ultimately crushed to discover during the ending that, yes indeed..he is a villain. He seems sad about it, yet relieved that his lifelong search for purpose has finally revealed itself.
😂 the kids!! They call me Mr GLASS 😂😂 BISHHT PLEASE THEM KIDS ARE A MENACE! 😊😊 ELIJAH'S MOM SHOULD HAVE PULLED THEM KIDS TO THE SIDE TOOK OFF HER BELT AND SHOW THEM WHAT GLASS REALLY FEELS LIKE ON THEIR ASS😮
Honestly ! Incredibly disappointed with Glass Such a pessimistic dumb ending David dead in a puddle with a random secret society introduced at the end smh, M.night always gets in his own way
One of the best comic book movies ever made. Amazing details, storytelling, emotion, Acting. Bruce And Samuel deserved Oscar nominations. The ending always hits me with Samuel's line delivery. James deserved a nom too. One of the best and most underrated scores ever. Too bad Glass sucked because it had so much potential. Split was really good through.
This trilogy caught me off guard. It is an amazing superhero movie that doesn't need the frills. I watch this with the same love as the Dark Knight trilogy.
What a fantastic movie. I recently watched Split and Glass, and they are right on. After dozens of superhero movies, M. Night still managed to make them unique.
So glad you made this breakdown. The Unbreakable Trilogy is my absolute favorite movies of all time and the best super-hero movies in my opinion as well. Your breakdown made me fall in love with the first movie all over again and I'm going to binge them all tonight!!!
M Night's trilogy is the most realistic superhero 'franchise'. He did a great work with the cinematography and the dark themes. I personally would prefer Unbreakable-Split-Glass style movies a hundred times more then the marvel's stuff, which not even come close to this masterpiece of art! Great rundown!
It’s a little interesting that Elijah is taking it upon himself to search for track down super hero’s, which is sort of Samuels role in the avengers movies. What do you think? 🤔
So sad to hear about Bruce now be diagnosed with dementia. My great gma that passed last year had that, some days were good & others were bad. Wishing Bruce the best!
Love Unbreakable, the scene when his kid pulls a gun has that same "ultra real" feel that the "Funny How" scene has in Goodfellas...can not explain it well, just has that uncannily "scarily real" feel. Awesome Music too in this movie 👍
Cheers for this, I loved it 👍 for me unbreakable was the best of the trilogy even though I really enjoyed them all. How about a breakdown in the future of the exorcist?
Whatever MNS ended up doing, back when I first saw this film I loved it and knew it was something special. It's a film you can rewatch many many times.
Great Movie Choice! And Great breakdown! Also really good sportsmanship after having the Knock @ Cabin video taken down after being allowed up for 10 days. I really liked this, and at the time thought it should do better. People had a skewed expectation because they were fresh off of seeing The Sixth Sense from M. Night. I think. Anyway, you didn't like 12 Monkeys? I saw in theater when I was 15 and I loved it, like really really loved it. But anyway, Unbreakable is in a different class altogether. Cheers.
I always liked to think Kevin was named Crumb as a symbolic nod to a crumb being a small part of a larger whole, ostensibly made up of other chunks (or crumbs).
I remember I did a report on this movie back in like 2001 or 2002 for one of my high-school art classes. These are the types of superhero movies I really wanted to watch back then and still now. One of the best superhero movies IMO back way before the MCU, and I love how it actually includes comics and comic collecting in it. Still holds up today really well.
Thank you so much for this breakdown. This is one of my favorite movies and I missed almost all of the things you brought up. Well done, I really enjoyed this!
When you said 'i love you' at the end, I felt that. I went back to all your videos I've watched over the course of a few days (on a binge) and hit the like button.
I love this movie!! It came out in 2000 when I was 16 and holds a special place in my heart. My brother came home from college and rented this on vhs. My brother, mom, sister and myself sat down together for a family movie night and was enthralled by it. Fast forward to today and my mom and brother have passed away (brother in ‘06, mom in ‘09) and that movie night stands out as a great memory with all of us together.
Unbreakable is definitely an amazing movie. One of my favorites. It's definitely has gotten more recognition over the years but the reason I think it did not make a huge of a splash compared to other "superhero" movies is that it isn't a very "super" hero movie, it's mostly just a hero movie. Sure the protag definitely has a "superpower" but it's not "super" if you get what I mean. Compare it to say Spiderman or Ironman where it's quite clear even if you just see it for a few frames in a commercial "Oh that's a superhero movie" as it's very obvious, very flashy and heavily action based. Meanwhile Unbreakable is very subtle and you don't really see the hero go into "action" up until the very end and all you get is a minor fight scene. IRL Bar fights have more action than that scene. And I think a lot of people during Unbreakable's release didn't really get it.
Well up for more Breakdowns of older Films! The scene where Dunn is "Unbreakable and Holding On" is Amazing! Also the Score is Class and Makes it A Classic Death Scene! Again Thanks HS and Another Great Choice! Can't wait for the next one Cheers
Agreed, it was ahead of its time. Taht scene whe he goes in and takes out the the guy in orange always stuck with me, that comic art/active comics cover that guy is buying kinda reminds me of david and the beast as well
I’d never heard of this movie until I ran across it on HBO or some cable channel and i thought, oh Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson, gotta see this and I LOVED IT !!! Definitely the BEST of the 3 movies !!!
I'll definitely need to go rewatch this movie, but at the 5:04 mark if this video it looks to me like for a split second when David is on the train with his on the window looking out, that the figure walking the platform with his back to us is Elijah. Now I've got to go rewatch the movie and look for more intricacies. lol
I remember going to the local store and renting Unbreakable on VHS 📼 if I'm remembering correctly it was one of the if not the last VHS 📼 I rented. Great film!
One of my all time favorites! Just showed it to my daughters. It’s challenging to explain to them the climate of the times compared to the marvel universe we live in now.
As a fan of unbreakable since I first seen it it 2002, the trilogy makes complete sense and its groundwork for the climax for glass is layed forth from unbreakable. The trilogy is the most grounded "super hero trilogy" but at the same time the ending of glass still urks me. I give m night credit for sticking to his guns and following thru but as a fan the ending of glass irritated me.
I absolutely love this film so much. I first saw it when I was very young but always forgot what the film was called. Eventually I found it again and loved it all over again. I couldn't believe it when I saw Spilit.
This was back when M Night wasn't pressured to create gold everytime. I think studios pushed him too much to put something out, so ideas were just like fulfilling a contract.
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie back when it was made. I immediately knew it was gonna be a super hero movie as soon as I saw Bruce in the raincoat. It just felt like a super hero scene.
Good point on the realisn of super hero. I think this type of movie is amazing. So raw . relatable. Close to madness. And mundane. If foreshadow awakening.
I would say that with this movie being as grounded, it actually paved the way for the wave of super hero movies instead of being ahead of it’s time. It is a true classic and I am grateful that you agree And do you mean single rep or a full set of press?
Six Sense, Unbreakable and Signs are phenomenal, imho. I've found enjoyment in a couple of his other movies, but I'm afraid he may never touch that high bar again.

Aren't you going to do a recap of The Nevers episode 7 to 12?
Please breakdown split and glass
Hey Paul, great breakdown!
Have you ever watched 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 with Michael B. Jordan?
That’s another early 2000s superhero movie with the premise of “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹? 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲..... 𝙛𝙧 𝙛𝙧??”
I remember enjoying it and would love to see your take on it! 🙏🏽👀
Can’t break it down bro it’s unbreakable
fml
Ha-HAAA
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣💯
I want to take a moment to give Bruce Willis his flowers in light of his health condition. He is one of my top 5 best actors and has been my 80's/90's heartthrob.
Yeah he’s great
Agreed!
Yeah, this is definitely the end of an era. I always saw him as one of the top 3 perfect tough guy hero dudes in action movies. Fifth Element will always be my favorite one of his.
Dementia is just so sad. Thoughts to Bruce and his family. ❤
Agreed. He has been one of my favorites since the 80s.

This movie was such a great unexpected superhero movie. Split was a fantastic surprise sequel. And Mr. Glass was a conclusion.
I love this Movie. One of the best superhero movies of all time.
I love this movie but I feel Glass did this whole universe a disservice. I saw this in theaters and was so blown away.
Honestly ! Incredibly disappointed with Glass
Such a pessimistic dumb ending
David dead in a puddle with a random secret society introduced at the end smh, M.night always gets in his own way
One of the best comic book movies ever made. Amazing details, storytelling, emotion, Acting. Bruce And Samuel deserved Oscar nominations. The ending always hits me with Samuel's line delivery.

Good choice Paul. This is a great movie.
You've got to do "Split" next.
BTW, I'm with you dude 👍
It’s a little interesting that Elijah is taking it upon himself to search for track down super hero’s, which is sort of Samuels role in the avengers movies. What do you think? 🤔
Loving your channel! So glad I've found it!
So sad to hear about Bruce now be diagnosed with dementia. My great gma that passed last year had that, some days were good & others were bad. Wishing Bruce the best!
Unbreakable by far is my favorite M Night movie and top tier Superhero movie. Thank you for giving it a breakdown like this.
This movie was fantastic. Definitely stick with me as well. Great video!
Thank you
27:18 I thought it funny that with all the attention to details, the production crew misspelled the word "EXCEPT."
Prayers to Bruce and his family 🙏🏾❤️
Love Unbreakable, the scene when his kid pulls a gun has that same "ultra real" feel that the "Funny How" scene has in Goodfellas...can not explain it well, just has that uncannily "scarily real" feel.
Awesome Music too in this movie 👍
Nicely done. Now you need to do the other two Glass and Split!
You could also say that the jaguaro character is a beast. M. Night playing chess not checkers.
Cheers for this, I loved it 👍 for me unbreakable was the best of the trilogy even though I really enjoyed them all. How about a breakdown in the future of the exorcist?
Whatever MNS ended up doing, back when I first saw this film I loved it and knew it was something special. It's a film you can rewatch many many times.
Great Movie Choice! And Great breakdown! Also really good sportsmanship after having the Knock @ Cabin video taken down after being allowed up for 10 days. I really liked this, and at the time thought it should do better. People had a skewed expectation because they were fresh off of seeing The Sixth Sense from M. Night. I think. Anyway, you didn't like 12 Monkeys? I saw in theater when I was 15 and I loved it, like really really loved it. But anyway, Unbreakable is in a different class altogether. Cheers.
Nah I love 12 monkeys. Originally was a pandemic joke but the editor thought we could add a 12 monkeys tie in there too.
Keep doing the good work cant even imagine how much time it takes to make one of these. Any thoughts on doing one on Chronicle?
I love chronicle!
The Bruce Willis/Sam L. Jackson combo will always be top tier.
Love this movie, great retro review and analysis
Loving these movie breakdowns, I only saw Unbreakable recently but I really liked it.
I always liked to think Kevin was named Crumb as a symbolic nod to a crumb being a small part of a larger whole, ostensibly made up of other chunks (or crumbs).
Thanks for keeping me company while I made breakfast this morning. Great analysis again!
Also, In the comic book cover the hero is fighting a beast, which is the bad guy’s name in split
I remember I did a report on this movie back in like 2001 or 2002 for one of my high-school art classes. These are the types of superhero movies I really wanted to watch back then and still now. One of the best superhero movies IMO back way before the MCU, and I love how it actually includes comics and comic collecting in it. Still holds up today really well.

I really enjoyed this breakdown. You added a few insights that are new to me and this is my third or fourth video on this topic. Great Job!
Great Movie, I love it 10/10!
Great Breakdown also 👍
I’ll never forget seeing this in the theater when I was 20. Been a favorite ever since.
I love this movie!! It came out in 2000 when I was 16 and holds a special place in my heart. My brother came home from college and rented this on vhs. My brother, mom, sister and myself sat down together for a family movie night and was enthralled by it. Fast forward to today and my mom and brother have passed away (brother in ‘06, mom in ‘09) and that movie night stands out as a great memory with all of us together.
Unbreakable is severely underrated
Unbreakable is definitely an amazing movie. One of my favorites. It's definitely has gotten more recognition over the years but the reason I think it did not make a huge of a splash compared to other "superhero" movies is that it isn't a very "super" hero movie, it's mostly just a hero movie. Sure the protag definitely has a "superpower" but it's not "super" if you get what I mean. Compare it to say Spiderman or Ironman where it's quite clear even if you just see it for a few frames in a commercial "Oh that's a superhero movie" as it's very obvious, very flashy and heavily action based.
Meanwhile Unbreakable is very subtle and you don't really see the hero go into "action" up until the very end and all you get is a minor fight scene. IRL Bar fights have more action than that scene. And I think a lot of people during Unbreakable's release didn't really get it.
I literally just did a full rewatch of this trilogy. Gotta love it
Well up for more Breakdowns of older Films! The scene where Dunn is "Unbreakable and Holding On" is Amazing! Also the Score is Class and Makes it A Classic Death Scene! Again Thanks HS and Another Great Choice! Can't wait for the next one Cheers
My fave m night film nice breakdown paul good work as ever x just what I needed to see and didn't know 👍
Ey thank you so much, comments like that make it all worth it. Couldn’t have done it without the team either.
Agreed, it was ahead of its time. Taht scene whe he goes in and takes out the the guy in orange always stuck with me, that comic art/active comics cover that guy is buying kinda reminds me of david and the beast as well
My doood this might be my favourite you’ve (un)broke down. Kinda have the need for a split/glass breakdown now.
I’d never heard of this movie until I ran across it on HBO or some cable channel and i thought, oh Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson, gotta see this and I LOVED IT !!! Definitely the BEST of the 3 movies !!!
I'll definitely need to go rewatch this movie, but at the 5:04 mark if this video it looks to me like for a split second when David is on the train with his on the window looking out, that the figure walking the platform with his back to us is Elijah.
Now I've got to go rewatch the movie and look for more intricacies. lol
I’ve never watched this series of movies. Now I want to watch them. Thanks Heavy for the recommendation.
I remember going to the local store and renting Unbreakable on VHS 📼 if I'm remembering correctly it was one of the if not the last VHS 📼 I rented. Great film!
Thank you for discussing Unbreakable. It is one of my favorite films as well.
Also, there is the line about villains heads being disproportionately large, and that's the role Elijah's hair does.
Your breakdowns on older movies are great! You talking about “American Psycho” makes me wonder if that’s in the future breakdown videos. Lol
One of my all time favorites! Just showed it to my daughters. It’s challenging to explain to them the climate of the times compared to the marvel universe we live in now.
This trilogy is the best thing he's done, so frigin good. I remember the moment we heard NEMESIS and boom we knew we were watching superheroes.
As a fan of unbreakable since I first seen it it 2002, the trilogy makes complete sense and its groundwork for the climax for glass is layed forth from unbreakable. The trilogy is the most grounded "super hero trilogy" but at the same time the ending of glass still urks me. I give m night credit for sticking to his guns and following thru but as a fan the ending of glass irritated me.
Great movie & great breakdown. 👍🏼
I had the twist of unbreakable spoiled for me before watching it and it still floored me and left me speechless when it happened. Point made
Great episode mister...love the Unbreakable series..
I did enjoy. Thanks!
I absolutely love this film so much. I first saw it when I was very young but always forgot what the film was called. Eventually I found it again and loved it all over again. I couldn't believe it when I saw Spilit.
I love this film and the breakdown is superb as usual. I didn’t like what they did with Glass unfortunately.
The killer virus set loose in an airport is a reference to Bruce Willis’s role in 12 monkeys
Do more of this classic films, will be waiting for Split and Glass as well.
The music in this movie brings tears to my eyes every-time I hear it
Thanks for the info
Great video.
Awesome movie
2000, sweet baby Jesus. Never feels like that long ago until you hear someone say it.
Bro Superman with Christopher Reeves was the first grounded superhero movie.
Just like David’s hold on the guy with the orange jumpsuit, David and Audrey’s relationship and love for each is Unbreakable.
I’m a fan of this series. Can’t wait til next one. AYEEEEE. you gotta speak on the tablet that sits behind Mr Glass it’s Egyptian.
the emotional beats really hit home in this movie and it all feels so carefully crafted. love the score, too. one of my favourites from MNS.
can you do Split and Glass too?
This was back when M Night wasn't pressured to create gold everytime. I think studios pushed him too much to put something out, so ideas were just like fulfilling a contract.
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie back when it was made. I immediately knew it was gonna be a super hero movie as soon as I saw Bruce in the raincoat. It just felt like a super hero scene.
Love this breakdown of Unbreakable.
Thank you
You got balls for doing this breakdown. Applause 👏🏻
3:23 ya making me feel old bra, we had Internet in 2000 it'd take an hour to sign on but we had it🙂 thumb up great job!
“The less said about that the better”. What? 12 Monkeys was phenomenal
Ironically I stepped on and did break my vhs copy of unbreakable years ago
Good point on the realisn of super hero. I think this type of movie is amazing. So raw . relatable. Close to madness. And mundane. If foreshadow awakening.
I would say that with this movie being as grounded, it actually paved the way for the wave of super hero movies instead of being ahead of it’s time.
It is a true classic and I am grateful that you agree
And do you mean single rep or a full set of press?
This series and Brightburn are my two favorite anti superhero movies. Hanckock was good too.
Split was crazy too
M Night appreciates you for this
Make me happy and breakdown split and glass pleaseeeeee
Bars are also another way to reveal David's character. The mirrors and glass are Elijah's.
Six Sense, Unbreakable and Signs are phenomenal, imho. I've found enjoyment in a couple of his other movies, but I'm afraid he may never touch that high bar again.
