I shield you because I need charge
Is not because I like you or anything!


I was gobsmacked by the apparent randomness of the ending twist, but I can see it working in the end and it's less random than it appears.


the Beast and the therapist spend much of their time in the movie talking about how the broken people are the more evolved people. David Dunn was an emotionally broken man and he became impervious to harm. Mr. Glass was literally broken and became a villain. ATJ's character is "broken" by her abuse and is spared for having something in common with Kevin. Kevin is broken mentally and able to manifest crazy poo poo physcially and is ruled by his animal instincts. Also, in Unbreakable, Glass' mother talks about the difference between fighting with your body and your mind. It's also in plain sight right there in the titles, and it's loving cheeky: Unbreakable... Split.


Overall though, it wasn't a great film. I agree with Megasabin in that I felt like the tension between the beast being real, or not was always kind of a forgone conclusion. There were a bunch too many pregnant pauses. The uncle subplot is meaningless and felt really trite and clichéd unless considered in the context of maybe Anna Taylor-Joy becomes a superheroine in the next film, too and joins up with Brucey?
