Welcome to Unbreakable (saga) The Unbreakable trilogy, also known as the Eastrail 177 Trilogy, is an thriller and psychological horror film series. The films were written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The trilogy consists of Unbreakable (2000), Split (2016), and Glass (2019).
@@nsasupporter7557 Well, technically they were in a scene together when they walked into the bar in shorts and t-shirts where Butch and Marsellus were talking.
@@nsasupporter7557 I agree, I'm just saying when I was watching split in the theater and a certain scene happened and music started playing, I was in complete shock.
Purple is the colour of Royalty, also the colour for madness. Very Appropriate for an acting King to choose such for one of Cinema's greatest Villains. Mr. Glass is both sympathetic and terrifying at once, truly unhinged. 💜

It's not that Elijah's character sought out to become a villian but more that he had become obsessed with discovering the purpose of his existence and understanding why he should be born under such uniquely extreme circumstances. By Elijah finding David he had been able to confirm his theories and in doing so answer a question that has plagued him most his life; as a consequence Elijah was also able to remove the sadness that both him and David shared in not knowing what the purpose in life had been. For a superhero movie that was meant to be based in reality, M. Night certainly took the cake with this film which has been a favorite of mines since I was a kid!
One of the things I love about this movie is that it's shot in such a way that if you freeze-frame it, the scenes look like panels from a comic - one of the best examples is when David stands up after pulling himself out of the pool - the angle showing his feet and cape with the two kids in the distance is exactly how it would be drawn in a comic.
It goes a little deeper than that - if you pay attention, you'll notice that almost all of the scenes dealing with David's 'awakening' as a superhero feature the characters being framed by a rectangular piece of the background/foreground around them as if they were featured inside of a comic panel.
My friend and I saw this movie together. When the cop told the mother "His arms and legs are broken," my friend leaned over and whispered "Dammit! We went into the wrong movie! This is 'Breakable!'"😂😂
When Director Quentin Tarantino saw this movie....he loved it and describes it as "The retelling of the story of Superman, if no one told him he was Superman and he had to find out himself.... ....What if Superman was here on earth and didn’t know he was Superman?” I've never looked at the movie the same since.
This is my top favorite M. Night Shyamalan film. Great story and I’ve loved the message it carries. But my favorite part is how he used muted colors in the train station sequence for all of the crowds… except for the people who were “villains”. They wore bright colors, red, green, yellow and orange. 😊
What was really eerie was the Elijah’s voicemail message. It started off sounding like a regular recording, then it gradually sounded clearer, like Elijah was in the room.
I Know The Sixth Sense is considered M Night Shyamalan's best film, but I would personally choose Unbreakable over that. Also my favourite Bruce Willis performance besides Die Hard. Also my favourite Samuel L Jackson performance where he's not dropping any f-bombs.
The man in line at the stadium wearing a bright blue jacket who Bruce Willis suspects of drug dealing is played by the movie's director M. Night Shyamalan, who is famous for the surprise endings to his films, like "The Sixth Sense", which are revealed with a series of flashes to other scenes in the movie in order to connect the clues for the viewer..
This particular film shows more respect and wide-eyed reverence to the superhero comic book genre than most of the modern Marvel and DC fluff combined. "Unbreakable" and "The Sixth Sense" are definitely the best films M. Night has ever created. IMHO.
Then he did the movie Split which just ripped off the X-Men character, Legion. M Knight Shamalamadingdong isn’t the first filmmaker to mine and steal from comics. And he won’t be the last.
One of my favorite movies. Like you, I went in not knowing anything about it. But being a comics fan since I was three I got into it very quickly once I saw what was going on. I thought it was a happy enough ending right up until Mr Glass said "and this is where we shake hands". That is when my years of reading comics kicked in and my heart sank because I knew what was coming next. It broke my heart. One of the best superhero movies ever.
This is one of those movies like Sixth Sense where the first time you watch it is an entire experience unto itself. This was one of my favorite "hero" movies from when I was growing up, and I even got my little brother into the trilogy by convincing him to watch this with me. Split and Glass are two sequels to this and they are really good.
I disagree. This is pretty much a self-contained story and the other two are nowhere near as good. The third was a complete mess. M. Night really slipped as a filmmaker.
One of my favorite scenes is the weight lifting scene. There is a deleted scene that continues that. He goes to the gym at the stadium where he works and benches even more weight. When he sits up from the bench, the whole room of football players are staring at him in disbelief.
I wish they had left that scene in the theatrical cut but sadly M. Night thought the sequence would be redundant and make the run time of the film longer than it needed to be.😔
I hope you watch the rest of this trilogy...Split and then Glass. Amazingly underrated series. One of my all-time favorites. Calling 5-0 means to call the police. There was a TV show about Hawaii State Police from 1968-1980 called Hawaii Five-0. There was a remake TV Show in 2010 also. It spawned a slang term of calling police 5-0
No, not a true story. If you watch the other 2 movies set in the same universe, you will be glad it isn't. Be sure to watch "Split" and then "Glass". People were not told ahead of time that "Split" was in the same universe. Keen eyed fans picked up on a reference to David at the end. "Glass" brings it all together.
I really liked what Jeremy Jahns said when he did a (very positive) retrospective review of "Unbreakable": "Of course we all know that Bruce Willis actually IS invincible in real life. I mean, he made THIS movie (points to a poster for 'A Good Day To Die Hard') and he STLL gets work. He is UNBREAKABLE!"
@@Hopehubris1492 And why did they choose to name the show “Hawaii 5-0” and not something like “Honolulu PD”? Because 5-0 is a slang term for police. And how did it become a slang term for police? Read the original post.

Purple is Samuel L. Jackson's favorite color. Often his characters will have something purple. in Star Wars, he is the only Jedi with a purple light saber.
"Five-O" is slang for cops. It comes from the TV show Hawaii Five-O. No, it's not a true story, they're just telling you what happened after the movie ended. BTW, the guy in the blue jacket that he searches for drugs is the director of the movie, M. Night Shyamalan.
You spotted the colors, but the reason for them was that comic characters have a color scheme. David's was green. There's a lot of symbolism here that shows how superheroes could be in the real world. The same director did one called Split several years later, but it explores the same idea and themes. It would be worth watching soon when things from this are still fresh in mind.
This was the epitome of M Night. He had several decent movies, and a weird period before Split came out and made him relevant again. The movie Glass had so much potential, especially coming off the success and really good story of Split, James McAvoy was phenomenal in it. But, Glass is M Night at his worst, IMO. Still, Unbreakable is top notch.
Dasha: There was a TV show called Hawaii 5 0. It was about a police detective and his team in Hawaii. I never understood why it was called 5 0 but, I assume that was the name they gave to the investigative office there. Anyway, at some point 5 0 became urban slang or code for "the police" .
According to a google search, the Five-O was a reference to Hawaii being the 50th state. The original Hawaii Five-O TV series ran for 12 seasons (from 1968 to 1980) and became a staple of American police procedural drama shows. There was even a reboot/remake that ran from 2010 to 2020, which used the Hawaii Five-0 title (with a zero i.s.o the O in the title).
@@acecombatter6620 It's just an extension of calling the Hawaii 5-0 "Five Oh". It became it's own noun. Kind of like calling copiers "Xerox Machines" even though Xerox is a brand name of one company. Also like calling all cloth hook-and-loop fasteners "Velcro" even though it's really one specific brand of it.
This is the 1st of 3 movies. The 2nd is called "Split". It doesn't really have these actors in it. It builds on another character, but they all come together in the 3rd "Glass"
also this movie is kind of similar to a horror movie called The Dead Zone (1983) which is based on a novel by Stephen King. It's about a high school english teacher who gets into a horrible car accident and goes into a coma for five years and when he wakes up, he has psychic powers. When he touches or shakes someone's hand, he can see their future. It's Definitely worth checking out.
Out of all the bloated, bombastic superhero movies that slowly have been destroying Hollywood in the past two decades, this is the only truly original one, examining the hero-villain paradigm through the lens of stark reality and mundane daily life. No tights. No laser vision. No giant robots. No frippery. Just an indestructible guy with problems like everyone else.
ALWAYS watch for distinct colors, in Night's movies! Also, u will always see a small part played by an east Indian guy, like in the ticket line/ restroom. This is the director! He does this I think, to pay homage to the all time greatest director, Alfred Hitchcock, who always put himself somewhere, I'm his movies!
Oooh, this reaction is a “deep cut”. I love it and think it’s one of my favorites. This movie has some of the most interesting camera work and shot composition I’ve ever seen.
I LOVED this movie as a kid. I haven't seen it since I was a kid though. I loved it because it's basically a Super Hero/ Villain movie that feels more realistic and more believable than the modern superhero. This movie is SOO under-appreciated. I only recently discovered that this is part of a trilogy, and I never saw the other two movies. I need to watch the other two.
notice that all of the colors were dull or muted except for something that needed to be highlighted, which was a bright color (the post-it note at the beginning; clothes of bad people such as a red or blue jacket, tan desert camo jacket, green or yellow shirt, orange jumpsuit; and everything around Elijah being purple etc.). This is very much a comic book style.
23:40 - this is such an important observation, for this movie and many comics. Batman and Joker are often said to be complementary aspects of a single personality.
2:55 That wasn't a conversation. That was a proposition with a half-hearted business proposal as an icebreaker. Edit: It was strange that she sat next to him when there was still empty seats but that wasn't an invitation.
The third movie in the trilogy has some of the most amazing acting by James McAvoy. *edit: It was the second movie, Split, that I was referring to. My bad.
25:09 As someone who nearly drowned twice in a river, that scenario horrified me as a kid when I saw it. Still does.. I don't know how anyone can get out of that.
Great reaction as always. 5-0 is a reference to the police. In the 70’s there was a cop show called Hawaii 5 0. Which was actually a reference to Hawaii being the 50th state of the U.S.
"Five-Oh" or "5-0" is a reference to a 1960's TV show (remake in the 2000's-2010's) called "Hawaii 5-0" about special police investigators in Hawaii. The name comes from Hawaii being the 50th territory to become a US state. The term "Five-Oh" has come to be a slang term for police.
If this movie hadn't followed on the heels of The Sixth Sense, it would have done really well. My wife and I still use "I gotta get some chicken in me" to express hunger. Five-0 means police. There was a TV shows in the late 1960's called Hawaii Five - 0, which is the name for the Hawaiian police detective branch. They remade the show recently.
"Five-Oh" are the police. The term comes from the name of an old TV series, "Hawaii: Five-Oh" that followed the state police in Hawaii. The "Five-Oh" refers to Hawaii being the 50th state admitted to the United States.
Evil does not need an excuse to exist, but heroes do need an excuse to exist. Mr. Glass was Killing for his own purposes. Unbreakable needed reason to take action and a purpose outside his own desires.
@@greybush6939 Thanks for that reminder! A friend had good things to say about his interactions with Bruce Willis on the set of Die Hard 3. He didn't have an opportunity to talk with Samuel L. Jackson.
There is alot of purple in this movie because Samuel L Jackson asked for it. Its his favorite color. He even asked to have a purple Light Sabre in starwars. The only jedi with a purple one
Haven't seen it mentioned yet, so here goes. "Five Oh" is a nickname for the police. It comes from a TV show from the 1970s called "Hawaii 5-0" which is what Hawaii calls their state police. It was such a popular show that it was rebooted in the 2000s. It was also so popular that "Five-Oh" is now slang for any police force. Loved your reaction! I loved this movie, and the other two in the trilogy. "Split" is next. It is VERY intense and James McAvoy give (my opinion) an Oscar-worthy performance as a man with multiple personalities! Looking forward to you seeing it, and "Glass", the last movie in the trilogy, which brings all three main characters together (but not necessarily as allies). Love ya!
Hey there, you awesome person !!! The store associate who told Elijah that he "was gonna call Five-0" was referring to "calling the cops". Five-0 refers to the TV show, Hawaii Five-0, as Five-0 spells 50, as in the 50th state ... that's what the call the police in Hawaii, Five-0.
the score was excellent. You only hear snippets of the "hero theme" early in the movie, you don't hear the full hero theme until he is pushing himself up from the pool. In the fight scene with the man in orange, it isn't fast-paced, action score, it's slower, the importance isn't the killing, it's the becoming.
Dasha, you are so cute. No, this movie was not based on a true story. Although I do understand the confusion, because the way the story ended is typical for movies based on true events these days. But it used to be used a lot in other types of movies back in the day. The comedy “Animal House” and the action/drama “Red Dawn” are two examples of ending fictional stories in this fashion. I will point out, however, that Elijah’s condition is very real. David’s condition is loosely based on another very real condition called Osteopetrosis (aka “Stone Bone” or “Unbreakable Bone” disease). While the bones of someone with this condition are virtually impossible to break, it does not make the person immune to injury. They are still susceptible to soft tissue damage and infection (cuts and diseases). Furthermore, they also develop abnormal bone growth, causing physical deformities such as hunched backs, clubbed foot, or even a deformed skull that resembles hydrosephalus. David had none of these. Although the density of the bones of someone with this condition makes being able to swim very difficult, as they tend to sink to the bottom of the water, so that part is somewhat accurate. David also seems to have a fictional version of another condition called Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy. This condition causes a person to develop muscle mass very quickly, and gives them roughly double the strength of a normal person. However it also increases the person’s metabolism so that they have to eat constantly. And if they can’t get enough nutrients while they’re growing up during their formative years, it causes their growth to be stunted and generally don’t grow much taller than 5’. Someone growing to be 6’, have a normal appetite for food, being super strong while NOT looking like a professional bodybuilder is pure fantasy. However it is BASED on a real genetic mutation.
You said "if hero's don't exist without a villian, maybe it is better not to have hero's at all". The problem is, we KNOW that we DO HAVE the villians.....and if the villians exist, then where is the hero? You thinking assumes that the hero comes first. What if the villian comes first? We need the hero Also....the movie is part of a trilogy.....the next installment is "Split". And then, "Glass". Take a watch
I really liked this movie. When I first saw it, I was dealing with intense stress, so as I recall I had to stop the movie in the middle and finish it later. Still, I think I like this movie the most of all of Shyamalan's work. I wish he had been able to keep up his style consistently, but the movies steadily got worse, maybe with the exception of Split.

@@acecombatter6620 It's just an extension of calling the Hawaii 5-0 "Five Oh". It became it's own noun. Kind of like calling copiers "Xerox Machines" even though Xerox is a brand name of one company. Also like calling all cloth hook-and-loop fasteners "Velcro" even though it's really one specific brand of it.
I'm still gonna punch M. Night for Airbender and slap him for all the others, but I will then shake his hand for the Unbreakable/Split/Glass trilogy.
Now you have to watch "Split" and "Glass"!
Was gonna say that this is the first in a trilogy. "Split" is the second and "Glass" is the third, but you got here first.👍👍👍
@@Skrubb_Lord split being a sequel is the twist. So good job on the spoilers.
Watch 'Split' next!!!
This is the 1st of 3 movies. The 2nd is called "Split". It doesn't really have these actors in it. It builds on another character, but they all come together in the 3rd "Glass"
This is part of a trilogy of movies. Unbreakable
Split
Glass
You should watch the other two.
❤ your videos!
10:20 "this is never true. It's a trap."
dasha life lessons
5 0 is slang for police, from the TV show Hawaii 5 0
also this movie is kind of similar to a horror movie called The Dead Zone (1983) which is based on a novel by Stephen King.
It's about a high school english teacher who gets into a horrible car accident and goes into a coma for five years and when he wakes up, he has psychic powers. When he touches or shakes someone's hand, he can see their future.
It's Definitely worth checking out.
I didnt see the movie, but the book is great, it is in my top 5 of King books
This is a trilogy of movies UNBREAKABLE(2000)
SPLIT(2016)
GLASS(2019) watch in this order
Out of all the bloated, bombastic superhero movies that slowly have been destroying Hollywood in the past two decades, this is the only truly original one, examining the hero-villain paradigm through the lens of stark reality and mundane daily life. No tights. No laser vision. No giant robots. No frippery. Just an indestructible guy with problems like everyone else.
ALWAYS watch for distinct colors, in Night's movies! Also, u will always see a small part played by an east Indian guy, like in the ticket line/ restroom. This is the director! He does this I think, to pay homage to the all time greatest director, Alfred Hitchcock, who always put himself somewhere, I'm his movies!
Oooh, this reaction is a “deep cut”. I love it and think it’s one of my favorites. This movie has some of the most interesting camera work and shot composition I’ve ever seen.
1:37 "This is a hard beginning..."
it is a very rough start
Awesome but now you need to watch "Split" and "Glass" as they are set in the same world and all parts of the story
I LOVED this movie as a kid. I haven't seen it since I was a kid though.
I loved it because it's basically a Super Hero/ Villain movie that feels more realistic and more believable than the modern superhero. This movie is SOO under-appreciated.
I only recently discovered that this is part of a trilogy, and I never saw the other two movies. I need to watch the other two.
notice that all of the colors were dull or muted except for something that needed to be highlighted, which was a bright color (the post-it note at the beginning; clothes of bad people such as a red or blue jacket, tan desert camo jacket, green or yellow shirt, orange jumpsuit; and everything around Elijah being purple etc.). This is very much a comic book style.
18:14 "...so they don't have to buy it?" 😆
23:40 - this is such an important observation, for this movie and many comics. Batman and Joker are often said to be complementary aspects of a single personality.
2:55 That wasn't a conversation. That was a proposition with a half-hearted business proposal as an icebreaker.
Edit: It was strange that she sat next to him when there was still empty seats but that wasn't an invitation.
Part of me wonders if she'd stayed next him, might she have survived?
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Maybe not. He's pretty invulnerable. That's likely the only thing that saved him rather than where he was sitting.
The third movie in the trilogy has some of the most amazing acting by James McAvoy.
*edit: It was the second movie, Split, that I was referring to. My bad.
25:09 As someone who nearly drowned twice in a river, that scenario horrified me as a kid when I saw it.
Still does.. I don't know how anyone can get out of that.
I'm so glad you reacted to this one, it's my absolute favorite Shamalan film!
Great reaction as always. 5-0 is a reference to the police. In the 70’s there was a cop show called Hawaii 5 0. Which was actually a reference to Hawaii being the 50th state of the U.S.
"Five-Oh" or "5-0" is a reference to a 1960's TV show (remake in the 2000's-2010's) called "Hawaii 5-0" about special police investigators in Hawaii. The name comes from Hawaii being the 50th territory to become a US state. The term "Five-Oh" has come to be a slang term for police.
If this movie hadn't followed on the heels of The Sixth Sense, it would have done really well.
My wife and I still use "I gotta get some chicken in me" to express hunger.
Five-0 means police. There was a TV shows in the late 1960's called Hawaii Five - 0, which is the name for the Hawaiian police detective branch. They remade the show recently.
"Five-Oh" are the police. The term comes from the name of an old TV series, "Hawaii: Five-Oh" that followed the state police in Hawaii. The "Five-Oh" refers to Hawaii being the 50th state admitted to the United States.
Now you need to watch "Split" and "Glass" because they are all connected like a trilogy.
and the last ruining it....
Evil does not need an excuse to exist, but heroes do need an excuse to exist.
Mr. Glass was Killing for his own purposes.
Unbreakable needed reason to take action and a purpose outside his own desires.
Mr. Jackson and Mr. Willis worked together previously in "Die Hard 3," one of the best of that series.
and Pulp Fiction... but I don't think they were on screen together
@@greybush6939 Thanks for that reminder! A friend had good things to say about his interactions with Bruce Willis on the set of Die Hard 3. He didn't have an opportunity to talk with Samuel L. Jackson.
Даша, привет) Очень нравятся твои реакции) Привет из Калининграда)
6:38 anyone else have "born and raised" go through their headmaster she said this?
🙋🏻
Always loved the soundtrack for this. The same notes played in different keys bringing about different emotions.
There is alot of purple in this movie because Samuel L Jackson asked for it. Its his favorite color. He even asked to have a purple Light Sabre in starwars. The only jedi with a purple one
Really happy we have all these movies with Bruce ❤
The 3rd movie is my favorite 😊
You seem like a very kind person. It's nice. The world needs more kind people.
in awe=overwhelming feeling of admiration or respect
aww=sound made when reacting to something cute
i wonder how many different origin stories there will be for Five-O in the comments?
I’ve read two so far.
My neighbor played one of the tied up kids haha.
Haven't seen it mentioned yet, so here goes. "Five Oh" is a nickname for the police. It comes from a TV show from the 1970s called "Hawaii 5-0" which is what Hawaii calls their state police. It was such a popular show that it was rebooted in the 2000s. It was also so popular that "Five-Oh" is now slang for any police force. Loved your reaction! I loved this movie, and the other two in the trilogy. "Split" is next. It is VERY intense and James McAvoy give (my opinion) an Oscar-worthy performance as a man with multiple personalities! Looking forward to you seeing it, and "Glass", the last movie in the trilogy, which brings all three main characters together (but not necessarily as allies). Love ya!
Hey there, you awesome person !!! The store associate who told Elijah that he "was gonna call Five-0" was referring to "calling the cops". Five-0 refers to the TV show, Hawaii Five-0, as Five-0 spells 50, as in the 50th state ... that's what the call the police in Hawaii, Five-0.
Now you have to watch part 2 and 3 , the movies Split and the 3rd is Glass.
I like your Russian. This movie is part of a trilogy also, I really liked the whole thing.
This is still my favorite M. Night movie. Thanks for the reaction.
the score was excellent. You only hear snippets of the "hero theme" early in the movie, you don't hear the full hero theme until he is pushing himself up from the pool. In the fight scene with the man in orange, it isn't fast-paced, action score, it's slower, the importance isn't the killing, it's the becoming.
Dasha, you are so cute. No, this movie was not based on a true story. Although I do understand the confusion, because the way the story ended is typical for movies based on true events these days. But it used to be used a lot in other types of movies back in the day. The comedy “Animal House” and the action/drama “Red Dawn” are two examples of ending fictional stories in this fashion.
I will point out, however, that Elijah’s condition is very real. David’s condition is loosely based on another very real condition called Osteopetrosis (aka “Stone Bone” or “Unbreakable Bone” disease). While the bones of someone with this condition are virtually impossible to break, it does not make the person immune to injury. They are still susceptible to soft tissue damage and infection (cuts and diseases). Furthermore, they also develop abnormal bone growth, causing physical deformities such as hunched backs, clubbed foot, or even a deformed skull that resembles hydrosephalus. David had none of these. Although the density of the bones of someone with this condition makes being able to swim very difficult, as they tend to sink to the bottom of the water, so that part is somewhat accurate.
David also seems to have a fictional version of another condition called Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy. This condition causes a person to develop muscle mass very quickly, and gives them roughly double the strength of a normal person. However it also increases the person’s metabolism so that they have to eat constantly. And if they can’t get enough nutrients while they’re growing up during their formative years, it causes their growth to be stunted and generally don’t grow much taller than 5’. Someone growing to be 6’, have a normal appetite for food, being super strong while NOT looking like a professional bodybuilder is pure fantasy. However it is BASED on a real genetic mutation.
This is 3 movies. Unbreakable, Split, Glass. Are the names of the movies.....
Such a great film!! Awesome reaction as alwayts and I cant wait for you to watch "Split" with James McAvoy!! 👍😎👍
6:38 - “…born and rise, on the playground is where I spent most of my” ok ok I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself. 😂
_🔥Shyamalan's SEPER-HERO Trilogy🔥_
★ - *Unbreakable* (2000) | _Bruce Willis_
★ - *Split* (2016) | _James McAvoy_
★ - *Glass* (2019) | _Samuel L Jackson_
This is one of my favorite movies, thanks for the reaction Dasha!
You said "if hero's don't exist without a villian, maybe it is better not to have hero's at all". The problem is, we KNOW that we DO HAVE the villians.....and if the villians exist, then where is the hero? You thinking assumes that the hero comes first. What if the villian comes first? We need the hero
Also....the movie is part of a trilogy.....the next installment is "Split". And then, "Glass". Take a watch
"Hawaii 5-0" was a TV show about Police in Hawaii. The Store Clerk was threatening to call the police (5-0)
I really liked this movie. When I first saw it, I was dealing with intense stress, so as I recall I had to stop the movie in the middle and finish it later. Still, I think I like this movie the most of all of Shyamalan's work. I wish he had been able to keep up his style consistently, but the movies steadily got worse, maybe with the exception of Split.
This is a great movie about finding your purpose in life
You must watch the other 2 movies, especially Split.
i hope you watch Split next. great performance in that. Glass was interesting, too.
A combination of a crime thriller & a superhero film.
