I mean, we felt it sucked as a Last Airbender movie on multiple levels, but if you had never heard of Last Airbender and you watched it you would think it was a fairly run of the mill fantasy film. It's definitely not great, but people hate it mostly because it's a terrible adaptation. Compared to many other Shyamalan films it's far from his worst.

I've tried multiple times to watch Airbender and can never get past the first 20 min or so. With that said big props to any one who actually sat through the entirety of that torture

M. Night does this thing where he has what he thinks is a cool, high concept premise (and often he's right) and then immediately starts phoning it in. All through the writing and directing process, he clearly decides again and again that it doesn't matter whether the plot makes any sense or the characters' actions or motivations are logical or believable, as long as we get the weird premise and the BIG TWIST! at the end. He's under the impression that he's such a gifted filmmaker that he doesn't need to worry about minutiae like logic, plausibility, characterization, or character arcs because his underlying concept & visual style are so strong that the audience will be too blown away to care. It's like he heard that story about Steven Spielberg telling Peter Benchley not to worry about the scuba tank blowing up at the end of JAWS because the audience will be so engaged by then that they'll buy any ending they're given and decided that he's so brilliant he can make whole movies that way.

@Warriorcats64

And he'd be right actually, if he let characters care about things and be more than quirks...and even then that could work...but that requires acting But for some reason he seems to think having actors say the lines with any kind of emotion is too much, except for maybe one token scene of emotion [which is jarring], so everyone sounds bored, and he wants characters to mug straight into the camera too so we their faces extremely close up. I mean you could make a chase scene or fireworks boring that way. I think before The Lady in the Water, and with Split/Glass [Glass is bad for other reasons], the acting was a bit more disciplined and fitting and could at times be entertaining. Adrien Brody made The Village for me, Mel Gibson and everyone but the boy in Signs did a very good job....even if the twist was weird and the logic was questionable. But something happened once he did that weird swimming pool movie with Paul Giamatti, something happened, and even when he pretty much used someone else's story and tried adapting [The Last Airbender and After Earth, his two worst], that type of acting direction stuck.

The moment you stop talking about it is the moment people forget and stop fearing it. So right away I realized it was the elders who created the monsters and perpetuated this fear of the forest to keep the young people from going into the forest.

+Future Dog Was your friend Jimmy Riviera, by chance? 😁 By the way, I've added this to my IMDb Watchlist, because you've got me intrigued!

The baby thing was the most inconsistent aspect of the entire movie I feel. The reason why is because the film establishes that time is a danger as an internal factor and NOT an external one. More specifically, how time itself impacts the physical aspects of someone's body. For instance, if you take into consideration what happened to the baby (it dying due to lack of attention) and apply this to everybody else, then it would mean that the group should have begun experiencing large gaps in time between their own conversations. For them it should have felt like HOURS or days between talks but it didn't. In fact for them things seems to be progressing at a pretty average rate. Nobody on the beach was ever losing their sense of time throughout this whole thing and therefore this should have been the case with the baby too even though it was aging. What would have been a better argument would be to say that babies are more fragile and because of this have LESS resistance to things than someone older would. So a better excuse would be to say that the baby starved to death because it couldn't consume food fast enough due to its metabolism burning too fast. If you remember the kids eating a lot of food or being hungry at one point could have been used as a basis for this argument. But even on that note, it makes me think about another problem with this film.... Why didn't they ALL die within the first half hour? If your aging that fast then your body would naturally need to consume food faster too in order to maintain itself. If making it to the end of the day was like YEARS passing by then this would also be like them going years without eating. You cant argue that someone seizures speed up but their NEED to consume food doesn't. It makes no sense because in this case the issue is always gonna be the changes in biology. The movie seemed like it really couldn't make up its mind about which set of rules it wanted to follow.

I feel ya man, his own hubris onscreen really seems to plague alot of his flicks. I honestly felt pretty betrayed as the credits rolled on the Village, and I was off the Shammalamma train! Though my 13yr old is definitely gonna be shown the 1st three! (And Split 😄)

I actually really enjoyed the campiness of the Happening, as well as the reveal at the end of the Village. I was in my very early 20’s when the best M. Night movies started coming around and because of that, I was much less critical of movies than I am now at 45. Signs and the Sixth Sense are still 2 of my favorite movies, period. Speaking of the Sixth Sense, I can recall the reaction of the crowd in the movie theater like it happened yesterday. But check this out...I just dug up my ticket stubs of all the movies I went to see in 1999 and this is how busy (and fucking blown away) I was that summer: The Matrix Blair Witch Project Fight Club Office Space American Beauty Magnolia The Green Mile Man on the Moon Holy shit!!! What a lineup! And there are even at least 10 to 15 more bangers that came out in ‘99 that I didn’t see in theaters.

Okay now there's a movie premise!

The trappings of debuting with one of the best movie twists ever...

There’s an episode of “The IT Crowd” where before Roy watches a movie someone tells him there’s a twist at the end. Roy’s was like “Oh, now I know there's a twist. I'm gonna spend the whole movie trying to guess what the twist is.” Moss says to forget there's a twist. And Roy says “how can you forget there's a twist?”

Yeah Resort Rip Van Winkle. I think people calling him the next Alfred Hitchcock went to his head. I like some of his movies but I never was what you would call a fan.

I've got to be honest I couldn't even get into Split all that much. Behind all the marketing, all the hype, when you get down to it, if you take away McAvoy's performance, it largely feels like the other Shyamalan movies that turned his career into a parody. The Shyamalan tropes that people make fun of are still there, the awkward self-insert cameo, the equally awkward dialogue, actors starring vacantly right into the camera, a script that thinks it's much deeper than it actually is. The only difference is McAvoy is able to give a performance in a Shyamalan without embarrassing himself and that alone should've gotten McAvoy an Oscar nomination because many otherwise good actors have not been able to say the same. Guys like Joaquin Phoenix, Dev Petel, Paul Giamatti, Mark Wahlberg, Will Smith will have memes made about them forever because for all of M. NIght's faults perhaps his biggest one is somewhere along the way he lost the ability to get his actors to behave like humans on screen.

@motherplayer

2 жыл бұрын

Indeed. He's not even the only guy who has his actors feel a little less emotive than others, but combining that with the dumbness of his scripts tend to make it feel more apparent how off it was compared to other directors like, say, David Lynch who can have a better sense of consistency with that. Also, nice to know I wasn't feeling alone in those feelings on Split. Entirely saved by McAvoy having a little more life in his performance, while everyone else and everything else felt no different than his usual direction, especially with that abuse subplot blunting it's impact because it's still as awkwardly acted as everything else in the film, so it's hard to tell how serious it's supposed to be taken.

How can you hate The Happening? It's one of the best comedies out there!

I actually knew going in that the twist of The Village was going to be that the events take place in modern times because watching promotional interviews with the actors before release, they just kept going on and on about the specific year that the movie was set in, and I found it odd that they would consistently refer to the specific year each time the subject was brought up. No surprises in the theater that opening night.

This sums up a lot of what I have always thought about his movies. It's like people see a scary trailer and have goldfish memory re the other shit movies this guy has put out.

"His name was Guiseppe Giorgio.... but everybody called him... Giorgio."

This was a great review and I loved how Mark was pretty much able to cover M. Night's entire body of work in such a compact, yet detailed frame of time. Ironically, the only Shyamalan product I truly enjoyed in recent years wasn't directed by him, but based on one of his stories - it was "Devil" which, at only 80 minutes, was very satisfying on all levels, from the claustrophobic atmosphere, to the characterizations... and right down to the final reveal which, for once, didn't disappoint. I didn't really like "The SIxth Sense" (sorry if that's blasphemy) and I am the only person I know who actually enjoyed "The Happening" - a lot. I also really liked "Signs" up until the idiotic ending. I agree with Mark about "Unbreakable", which I think is his most balanced and successful film to date. I loathed "The Village" and couldn't even finish "Lady in the Water". "The Visit" gave me a headache with that hand-held camera so I wasn't able to enjoy much. You gotta hand it to him, though, he has an undeniable passion for his work AND isn't going to let any bad reviews or poor box-office convince him that he's really not all that. I actually find an endearing similarity between him and Ed Wood in that department!

My friends and I figured out the Village too. We guessed the ending before she even went into the woods. The one with the Devil in the elevator is amazing. The toast landing butter or jam up. It was amazing. Right up there with the Happening. God I love that movie. It’s my guilty pleasure movie. It’s so bad it’s awesome.

Hey Marc hope youre doing well man your videos got replay value you are hilarious

M. Knight is the prime example of why you shouldnt huff your farts

I liked The Village, but I'd never seen one of his films before, so I wasn't expecting a twist like Mark.

To me, M Night was always "Okay" at directing. He's not the worst director I've seen, he's just pretty mediocre at best.

The one thing I hated while watching Old was all the characters incessantly narrating their actions. That reminded me of his "American audiences have different sensibilities" comment, which everybody knew he meant he thought Murricans were dumb and didn't understand his movies, so he made the characters CONSTANTLY mention their actions to help the dumb-dumb audience to understand it better. I'm SEAsian with English as a 2nd language and even I think he (and this movie's characters) are dumb. Sucks because the premise of the movie was interesting tho

' The Plot Hole King", M. Night Shamalan's films are like someone took Rod Serling's stories and gave them to an 11 year old to rewrite.

Fingernails and hair grow from the living part at their base, not the dead part. Just a FYI for M Night if he’s checking out his mentions. (You know he does . . .) Also: No love for Signs? A perfectly decent film up to the twist reveal. And his cameo.
