Unbreakable

Lover saw it first-- the flare of an archetype, that is-- but then everything clicked like so many pieces custom-fit for a game. Archetypes, the power of myth. Will M Night Syamalan be remembered as a cinematic genius who tapped into the underlying psyche of Western Myth, or as a one-hit wonder who spent his mediocre career vainly trying to recapture that bright spark that was his first film? I don't know, we'll have to wait for a third film. Right now, he's 50/50. Unbreakable was a tiring and typical piece of postmodern filmaking, from the basic archetypal character depictions and theme, to the bit-part drug-runner played by Syamalan himself. The film was one part Stan Lee, one part Any Young Po-mo Filmmaker.

Oh well. It wasn't horrid, at least.

That's all for to-night. Tired, me...
