Glass movie review


Glass brings together  characters from M. Night Shyamalan's two previous movies "Split" and "Unbreakable ". Unbreakable is about David Dunn (Bruce Willis)  who was the only survivor of a horrible  train crash. He later learned that he is more than the normal human being.  Split is about Kevin Wendell Crumb a mentally ill patient diagnosed with DID.
       Glass begins with David Dunn now popular in philadelphia as a protector/superhero known as "The Overseer" . He works together with his son Joe Dunn (Spencer Treat Clark)  to fight crime in their community.  He tracks down Kevin after he kidnapped four young ladies and locked them up in an abandoned factory.  David frees the girls which made Kevin agitated and the two of them began to fight and they end up being carried away to Raven Hill Memorial Psychiatric Hospital where Elijah Price (Samuel L Jackson)  has been for almost two decades. They meet with Dr Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) and she tries to convince them that they are not superhumans in any way and their actions could be explained.
     Casey (Anya Taylor)  from split is introduced as a from of therapy for Kevin because she is the only one that his identity as the Beast let go without harm. The three men are at war with each other but they are kept in check by strobe lights, high pressured hoses and heavy medication. They are forced to put up with each other or shut up concerning the fight against good and evil.
    In Glass M. Night Shyamalan brings together his vision of Freudian brain in the uncontrolled ideantity of Kevin Crumb who suffers from an identity disorder known as DID, the regulating force of super ego in David Dunn and a moderator between the hero and villain in the ego that is Elijah Price a. K. a Mr Glass.
    Glass was directed and written  by M.  Night Shyamalan and was released on January 18, 2019. It is rated PG 13 for violence including some  bloody images , thematic element and language.  It runs for 110 minutes.
