#shyamalan — Public Fediverse posts

#Movie fans, I just got around to watching Signs by director, M. Night Shyamalan. I know, only 24 years late. I actually liked it a LOT, so now I am scratching my head over the bad reviews it's gotten over the years. It was those reviews and things I saw online that made me think I wouldn't enjoy it all these years. I think it deserves better than "mixed or average reviews", eh.

Did you like Signs? Should we watch it for a #monsterdon night someday?

Upon rewatching “Glass”, I’ve concluded that if there’s ever a sequel, it should revolve around the Evil Dr. Staple recruiting Casey Cooke to join “Clover,” and upon conferring with Joseph Dunn and Mrs. Price, Casey decides to join in order to infiltrate its deepest factions and destroy it from the inside. I just can’t figure out the name of the film. Shard? Prism? Cracked? Etched? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hier soir, j'ai regardé "The Watchers", un #film fantastique réalisé par Ishana Night #Shyamalan (la fille de son père). J'ai beaucoup aimé le thème, le scénario, les références païennes et les divers rebondissements. Un film sur le rapport horrifique que nous entretenons avec notre sentiment de culpabilité, qui peut nous enfermer, isoler voire détruire.

Melodram oder Sci-Fi? Irritierend oder stilbildend? Meisterhaft oder vermessen? Das Werk M. Night #Shyamalan​s lässt sich nicht leicht einordnen. Wir widmen den Artikel des Tages dem #Film​emacher, der stets für eine Überraschung gut ist: https://www.dwds.de/wb/eine%20unerwartete%20Wendung%20nehmen

Apple TV+ e M. Night Shyamalan sotto processo per "Servant", accusati di plagio da un film del 2013. La giuria dovrà decidere se ci sia violazione di copyright. 🎬⚖️ #Servant #AppleTV #Shyamalan #plagio

I finally got around to watching #Oppenheimer. Besides the #nonlinear narrative, my criticisms would be similar to Lauren's as well - incredible technical achievements in producing what appears to be period-authentic scenery, sets, and props, and fantastic visuals, but in service of a somewhat lame, too-Hollywood script.

#Nolan's going to get pegged as a one-trick pony, like #Shyamalan (if he hasn't already...) with the nonlinear #storytelling. You're right that it was totally unnecessary here; this story could have been told start-to-finish and not lost one iota of its message or power. Arguably the opposite.

In Memento, the "two narrative threads with one played backwards" thing was essential to the story. Here the temporal slice-and-dice is a needless distraction, a "Mommy, watch me!" affectation. It detracts from the story.

The cheap #melodrama is annoying too, but it's hard to get worked up about that as long as the "look at what a twisted web I can weave" attitude is there to complain about.

Si vede che è stato prodotto da #Shyamalan, anche se non c'entra nulla con il suo stile, solo vedendolo fino alla fine si capisce perché ha voluto produrre un film del genere

A me ha ricordato un mix tra il bellissimo #DonnieDarko di #RichardKelly e il simpatico #PhiladelphiaExperiment

Un film che si lascia vedere con molta curiosità per capire dove si andrà a parare 3/3 END

¡Analizamos el Steelbook 4K UHD de Los Vigilantes! 🎬🌲 Ishana Shyamalan debuta con una historia llena de suspense y terror. Disponible en tiendas hasta fin de existencias. #LosVigilantes #Cine #Shyamalan https://www.cinemascomics.com/los-vigilantes-analisis-steelbook-4k-uhd/

Las líneas generales de las carreras de Nicolas Cage y M. Night Shyamalan podrían estudiarse a la vez. Abundan los denominadores comunes.

Shyamalan es un cineasta, y prolífico. Ni se le puede pedir que sea brillante en todo ni -presupongo- le importa: necesita crear. Eso es el arte y de eso carece una IA, la pulsión. Cuando ha tenido más dineros ha hecho unas cosas; cuando menos otras.

Últimamente ha sacado a Josh Hartnett de su guarida para meterlo en su trampa. Curioso que Josh siga con los mismos defectos de hace veinte años. Actor cumplidor sin más vuelta. Además de a su hija Saleka.

La trampa está bien dirigida y regular escrita. El guion se vuelve endeble en la última parte, cuyo desenlace se siente un (meta)boicot. Lástima porque la idea es buena y los códigos del policial thrillerizado se plantan con acierto.

No hagas segunda parte. Nadie la necesita.

The Watchers

Película de 2024
1 h 42’
Terror / suspense

Dirección: Ishana Shyamalan

Guion: 📝📝📝
Realización/interpretación: 🎬🎬🎬🎬
Calidad/tiempo: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Los Shyamalan saben filmar y crear ambiente. Desde luego son buenos cineastas y entienden bien la comunicación visual. Sólo les falta cerrar adecuadamente sus películas. Necesitan un guionista que sepa concluir sus historias, de modo que sus creaciones no queden siempre con un final chapucero. Pero sobre todo necesitan evitar la sensación cutre de que se echaron a rodar sin tener toda la idea perfilada.

Vin de novo *Umbreakable* (M. Night Shyamalan, 2000). Unha lección de narración cinematográfica. Algún exemplo: escena inicial, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) quita o anel cando unha muller atractiva senta ao seu carón no tren, e xa sabemos que o matrimonio vai mal, o que se ve reforzado cando é o fillo o que xunta as mans da parella que, cando o neno deixa de mirar, retiran. E máis metafórico: as escenas de Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) reflectidas no espello.

Trap (M. Night Shyamalan, 2024). Como é posíbel que o mesmo que filmou The Sixth Sense, Umbrekeabme ou The Village escriba, dirixa e produza este despropósito?

I'll repeat my theory that in the upcoming #MNightShyamalan #movie, #Trap, the twist will be that the #JoshHartnett character is not the killer being hunted, but instead has the killer trapped for revenge because the killer killed his wife.

Yes, the #Hartnett character is *a* monster (possibly tormenting or torturing the killer), as the latest #trailer implies, but not *the* monster the police are hoping to trap.

"I see dead people" is the only good (great, actually) #Shyamalan twist.

As Ishana Shyamalan’s directorial debut film “The Watchers” hit theaters this weekend, the whole family had reason to celebrate. Later this summer, her father, M. Night Shyamalan also premieres his latest mystery, “Trap,” which will feature music and performances from another daughter, Saleka. IndieWire describes how the family may be on the cusp of becoming a dynasty. https://flip.it/mRJ8nq

Il primo film di Ishana Night Shyamalan, The Watchers, conferma: tale padre, tale figlia. #Cinema #Film #Shyamalan

I know nothing about the upcoming #movie, "#Trap" beyond what I saw in a trailer, and that it's by #MNightShyamalan.

Here's my #spoiler based on that information.

#JoshHartnett would never play a serial killer.

The setup is classic #Shyamalan and the truth is that, while Hartnett's character may be who the police are trying to catch as the killer, that character's captive is the real killer, who killed the protagonist's wife.

Probably.

Oh, and I'm ruling out M. Night #Shyamalan because #technically he's a #screenwriter and #director, not an #author of #prose.
