Trivia:
The newspaper article that David shows his son states (in part): Headline: SAVED "Hero" Rescues two children; Parents found dead in house Byline: By Nicole Marsella TELEGRAPH STAFF WRITER Story: Police today are investigating what appears to have been a home invasion that left three dead in Bala Cynwyd. Law enforcement agents and detectives are baffled by the circumstances and motivations of a good Samaritan who last night rescued two small children. Details of the incident are sketchy, but police believe that after freeing the children the unknown hero struggled with and killed the home invader responsible for the deaths of the parents. The police are still puzzling over the identity of the "hero". The children described him as approximately 6 feet tall wearing a dark green hooded rain poncho. The children's names have been withheld until notification of next of kin. Police at this time are still trying to determine the identity of the alleged assailant. Any information leading to his identity would be greatly appreciated by the Philadelphia Police. Police made a grisly discovery after.....[illegible] moreGoofs:

Willis finds out some strange things about himself after being the sole survivor in a train wreck. Jackson tells him he's special. Is he really?
Unbreakable really is an act 1 superhero story stretched to feature lenght (Night tells us in an interview). Genius. For once I believe Willis is the person on screen, not that he's playing Bruce Willis, the cool actor. Night uses colors (mostly blue, purple and green) and well chosen camera-angles as imagesystems (word is that the storyboard read like a comic). Most of them really work out well. I loved the slow pacing of the film. It really takes it time to tell us what's going on. As usual Shyamalan puts human drama first in his script. The first scene where Willis meets the woman in the train... You have to see the genius of it. In a few lines of dialog Shyamalan let's us discover the character Dunn.
Another reason why I love this film is because Shyamalan shows he has courage to make THIS after the enormous success of The Sixth Sense, which I think is inferior to this film. I just know the studio execs where pushing for something more tangible than this, but he chose this instead. A homage to comic books. And it works! BEAUTIFUL!!
