Twist:
My blog was dead all along I actually still kinda like M
. Night Shyamalan. I mean, I don't hate the guy.
Sure he's made a foul of himself over the years and his movies have been increasingly worse one after the other. My guess is that his early fame and success from The Sixth Sense probably got to his head. And then he sort of lost the passion he had and became way too formulaic for his own good.
Plus his writing's been getting pretty bad, film directing skills aside.
But I still a lot of masterfully storytelling and great eye for the picture when I look back at Sixth Sense or Unbreakable. Heck, even Signs.
So what went wrong?
I think he put way too much focus on the mystery and the often-laughed twist ending, and sort of forgot to care about his characters later on. Plus the plot have been more and more nonsensical. I mean,
the trees, really?
But I do believe you could still salvage things up if you would
mix up the twists amongst the films.
Don't believe me? Well, let's try a little experiment.
