Since its inception, Glass has secured a place in the 2019 blockbuster, completing two successful films, Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016). Knight Shyamalan co-stars Bruce Wells, James McAvoy, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson, Anya Taylor and Joey. Source
The story of the movie
Glass completes the film Split, which takes place nearly 19 years after Unbreakable, where David Dunn, the supernatural, continues to fight crime in secret and proceeds to prosecute Kevin Crump, a schizophrenic, for his heinous crimes, and both of them end up in one. The detained psychiatrists are initially Elijah / Mr. Glass, and then Dr. Eli Stable begins to try to undermine their confidence in their abilities and find a scientific explanation, but the events take a different turn as they all discover many facts that were not taken into account.
Screenplay: The chaos of missed opportunities
The screenplay of Glass was in front of two main tasks, the first - and the most difficult one - is to link its events with the two previous films, and the second to highlight the features of his own plot and follow its dramatic track. The characters went through that long period, creating acceptable connections between the Unbreakable and Split worlds and, most importantly, all in an exciting and exciting atmosphere.
Glass's introductory phase was promising but once it was over, things changed dramatically, the pace of events slowed down in the second part of the film to the point of boredom, while the last third was quite the opposite, and included many jumps that were oblivious to logic, creating many Of gaps that are difficult to remedy.
Famous for the works of M. Knight Shyamalan with twists and sudden events near the end, and relies heavily on them to bring excitement to the extreme, and the fact that the film Glass is not excluded from that rule, but it contained more than twisting near the end were all of a great degree of idea and degree The vulnerability of dramatic construction has weakened its impact, and it has not been adequately paved or found to be justified, making it seem intrusive and difficult to accept.
It can be said that the crisis of the scenario of the film Glass is due mainly to the dispersal between complete independence and walk in the approach of the previous two films, led to a state of confusion and confusion lasted from the beginning of the second season and continued to the scene of the end, which dropped him a lot in the trap of monotony and made it in other times Disjointed and disconnected.
Actors and characters
The overall performance was very good and James McAvoy remained the best - or rather the most prominent - thanks to the distinctive nature of his role, and he excelled in embodying multiple characters and moving between them smoothly, but the overall level was lower than what he showed in Split. It was with the scenario of introducing many of Kevin's latent figures - including those that first appeared - but none had a real impact on the course of events, making it seem like a comical show of individual acting abilities apart from the general context of the work.
Samuel L. Jackson is a balanced performance of Elijah, Mr. Glass, who drew attention despite the late appearance, but is flawed by the lack of any manifestation of development or different from what he presented in the film Unbreakable despite the passage - according to the drama of the film - about nineteen years, while the performance of Bruce Wells He was fluctuating depending on the location of his personality from the events, he performed well at the beginning where the character was the first driver of events, but quickly dimmed his luster in the following chapters as the influence of the character declined and turned into a reaction!
My opinion on the film
Bear Im. Knight Shyamalan - first author and second director - is entirely responsible for the artistic level of the film, which certainly puts him in the tail of the movie trilogy that began in 2000, but was Glass really that bad ?!. A fair and accurate answer to this question may be that it is a well-structured, flawed film.
In the sense that im. Knight. Shyamalan clearly strived to get the best thing in each element but spoiled it in one way or another, the story plot on which the film is good but was poorly reviewed, sometimes lengthy boring and sometimes confusing acceleration, the plot included many twists and surprises but in order to reach it Sacrificing many of the justifications and links needed to put events into context.
The film carried a good implicit message and included a philosophy that would add some depth and weight, but it was presented - or precisely indoctrinated - to the viewer in the form of direct, repetitive and intense, near-the-end news phrases. In general, the film focused on exploiting the success of the previous two films. While trying to disagree with them as much as possible, he seemed to try to avoid some pitfalls and did not pay attention to the pits scattered in his path.
