The bright colors and glass cain for instance with mr. Glass and the darkness around Willis when he rescues the children. Very comic like, a bit larger than life. The doubts about the possibility of it all and the deaths of innocent bystanders that the comic books usually glance over that you're confronted with are more in the real world. You keep being pulled between the real and the comic book world. Never sure which way it's gonna go. M. just loves playing mind games I'd say. This one sure appeals to comic book fans like me.

I think I was expecting too much thanks to "The Sixth Sense." Honestly, we probably all were. However, M. Night instead presented us with a vastly different film, one that now I've gone back and watched multiple times, I've learned to appreciate and actually REALLY enjoy now. I think the ending was honestly incredibly brilliant. True, I don't think it holds up as well as the twist to "The Sixth Sense" when watching repeated viewings, but I was still utterly floored when I watched the film for the first time. It was just so...well, brilliant. I agree that the first time I saw "Unbreakable," I wasn't the biggest fan of it either. I think I was expecting too much thanks to "The Sixth Sense."
