AGGIES FOR CHRIST
A rare and profound movie ex
perience, Unbreakable is one of the
few films to meet and then surpass
every expectation and desire the au
dience could have. Few movies
have been as engrossing and satis
fying as this one.
David Dunn (Willis) is an ordi
nary man on his way down in life.
A security guard for a college foot
ball stadium and near the end of a
failed marriage, Dunn is the only
survivor of a horrible train wreck.
Plagued with doubts and questions
about why he survived. Dunn be
gins an amazing journey of self-dis
covery as he searches for the mean
ing of his life.
Revealing anything else about
the plot would detract from first
time audiences’ pleasure. Many
people may see this film for a sec
ond and probably even a third time.
This raises the question, what is
it about writer/director Shyamalan's
films that has audiences coming
back again and again? His twist
ending was largely the cause of the
success of The Sixth Sense. A better
explanation for the repeat business
could be the richness of the charac
ters and the complexity of the story.
It is safe to say Unbreakable sur
passes The Sixth Sense in complexi
ty. Shyamalan elevates his magnifi
cent storytelling talent as he further
explores the human spirit.
This movie is difficult to classi
fy. It could be called a thriller, but it
demonstrates a fine dramatic sense.
This film can easily be classified as
brilliant.
Much of this film’s strength de
rives from the east's superb perfor
mances. Willis delivers the most
captivating performance of his ca
reer. He could earn his first Oscar
nomination. Jackson shows audi
ences a new side of his acting by
avoiding his cool persona and in
fusing his character with a genuine
sense of tragic loss.
This film, however, is definitely
Shyamalan’s style. His story and
his vision transform this movie into
an incredible experience. Refusing
to take the easy route, Shyamalan
painstakingly develops each scene
to its fullest, often with only a sin
gle camera setup and a single take.
The lack of cuts gives the film a
fluidity that heightens the audi
ence's emotional involvement.
Unbreakable heralds the arrival
of quite possibly the finest story
teller Hollywood has ever known.
There has never been another direc
tor who has so skillfully guided au
diences through an imaginary world
with such astounding results.
There will not be a better film
this year. There are only a handful
of movies that compare
ohe’s heart and power.
This is the film to see, aril
rank as a major turning poim
American cinema, expect to
many times. (Grade: A+)

Bounce is a surprisingly honest look at two
people connected through a shared tragedy. At
times funny, at times brutally honest. Bounce is a
convincing drama.
Buddy (Affleck) is an advertising executive
who gives a plane ticket to a father anxious to
get home to his family for Christmas. When the
plane crashes and everyone on board is killed.
Buddy is overwhelmed with guilt and turns to
drinking. His descent ends when friends check
him into an alcohol rehabilitation center. Upon
his release. Buddy decides to look up the widow
of the man to whom he gave his ticket. When he
finds her, he is drawn into a relationship he did
not seek, but cannot escape.
The characters in this film are sharply written
and amazingly three-dimensional. Paltrow deliv
ers a beautiful performance devoid of pretense.
Affleck delivers his finest performance, not just
charming his way through the role, but choosing
instead to depict a real person with flaws and
emotions.
Writer/director Don Roos (The Opposite of
Sex) tells an emotional story with a delicate
