Using the colour purple as Mr Glass's colour to David Dunn's green was Samuel L. Jackson's idea - purple is his favourite colour. He even asked George Lucas for a purple lightsaber in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002). more

Moving - in its most original sense, 13 January 2001
9/10
Author: Dirk Geerts (dgeerts@hotmail.com) from Utrecht, The Netherlands

The final plot twist in "The Sixth Sense" made me wonder whether its director could repeat such a stunt, in "Unbreakable". Force us to follow the path he wants us to take, by telling his story, slowly, subtly leading us. Make us start to believe we know what will happen next, make us love the characters, then make us *want* things to happen next. Yes, tonight when seeing "Unbreakable", all that happens, again. And then, exactly like in "The Sixth Sense", he pulls the carpet right from under us, in the final seconds of the movie takes away everything, every expectation, he first gave us. Many people will be so disappointed by this that they will end up hating the movie. So did I, for about five minutes. Now I know the movie will make me think, literally move my thoughts, for a long time after tonight. I want to see it again, right now. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Hollywood has a new master storyteller. His name is Manoj Night Shyamalan.
