Unbreakable is a 2000 psychological thriller drama film directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan. A deconstruction of the superhero genre, the film stars Bruce Willis as security guard David Dunn and Samuel L. Jackson as comic book art gallery owner Elijah Price.Unbreakable begins with the birth of Elijah, whose mother discovers that he was born with broken arms and legs due to osteogenesis imperfecta, which makes his bones as fragile as glass. The film then jumps to the present day where David, on his way home to Philadelphia from New York City, ends up in a horrific train crash that kills everyone but him — and David himself is perfectly healthy and unharmed.Elijah — now a respected owner of a comic book art gallery — contacts David with a letter asking a simple question: "How many days in your life have you been sick?" David is caught off guard and starts thinking back on his entire life, even consulting his wife Audrey, and he cannot remember taking one sick day, having a single headache, or getting bruised. David makes contact with Elijah in return, who offers a very dramatic possible answer. If he, Elijah, is on one end of the spectrum by being so frail and brittle, then the existence of someone who is on the other end of the spectrum, having superhuman durability, must balance the equation — and he believes David to be this person. He bases this conclusion on his love of comic books, and believing that "super" humans exist but are dismissed because of the commercialization of superheroes.David doubts he's a Real Life superhero, but the possibility leads to some deep self-examination. In addition to being (allegedly) Made of Iron, David also seems to have a subconscious ability to "read" people and know the evil things they have done… or are about to do. He begins to wonder whether it's possible that he's never been hurt in his life or if it's all coincidence and selective memory, and whether his alleged extrasensory powers are all just in his imagination. David starts considering how the theory, if true, could affect his purpose in life and his family's failing happiness, especially after being the lone survivor of a train crash, both of which have already caused him deep depression. After all of that, David has to ask himself the most important question: is it worth the risk he'll take to discover the truth?A sequel, Glass, was released in 2019, with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson returning as their respective characters.Unbreakable has one hell of an ending, and it's pretty much the only ending to a Shyamalan film that hasn't received the It Was His Sled treatment. If you haven't seen the movie yet, avert your eyes from the spoilers below.

Villain Opening Scene: The film opens with the origin story and birth of the later supervillain and David’s Treacherous Advisor Elijah, showing why his fragility devastated his mother and ultimately caused him to become a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, which is further fleshed out in a later scene between the two.

Chekhov's Gun: When we see David moving the revolver he keeps stashed on the top shelf in the closet, we just know it's going to have some significance later. Sure enough, his son Joseph gets it and holds his dad at gunpoint, thinking that he can prove David's superpower by having bullets bounce off him.

Kryptonite Factor
 Unbreakable / int_22ecc839
comment
Kryptonite Factor: Explicitly acknowledged in the film, as every hero has some weakness. Shyamalan uses water as a weakness for the main superhero. In this case, though, it wasn't that he was especially vulnerable to water, but rather he was just as susceptible to drowning as a normal person — though it was theorized that the dense bone and muscle that made him unbreakable also made him unfloatable and so was at a higher risk for drowning. It was also a psychological weakness, as he had almost drowned once as a child (probably due to the aforementioned bone density), an event so traumatic he blocked it from his memory but left him with a phobia around water, even if he couldn't remember why.

Conversational Troping: Elijah talks about the Lantern Jaw of Justice and other stylistic traits and conventions. At the end, David and Elijah's mother talk about Villain Tropes at Elijah's art gallery. She says that Elijah believes there are two main types of villains. There's the soldier villain, who fights the hero with his hands, and then there's the brilliant, evil Arch-Enemy, the really dangerous one, who fights the hero with his mind. Elijah is revealed to be the latter. During the scene where Elijah sells one of his comic art pieces, he explains how the character has been made to look like a villain, by giving him dark skin and large eyes, both of which fit Elijah.

Does Not Know His Own Strength: Inverted. David never had to push his limits, or at least he doesn't remember any instances of doing so, leaving him convinced he's just average guy with average strength. This conviction in turn created a purely psychological barrier for him. When eventually trying his strength he runs out of weights and other objects to lift on his bench, while in a flashback he's shown tearing apart doors of a car, but due to the stress he doesn't even realise what he did.

Flashback: It's mentioned several times that David and Audrey were in a bad car accident in college, which factors into several plot points, including David supposedly receiving a career-ending injury (disproving the "unbreakable" claim) that further allowed his marriage to Audrey, since she did not like the violence of football. Right before the climax, David inspects the wrecked train cars from the beginning of the film and flashes back to his car accident and what really happened.

Improbable Infant Survival: David playfully interacts with a child starring at him while on the train, just before the crash occurs. In a deleted scene, David asks a bishop about the crash, how he can be fine when his watch was crushed as if hit by a sledgehammer. The bishop then averts this trope by revealing angrily that the child on the train in front of David was his grandnephew. Also averted with Elijah, who spends most of his childhood cooped up, since he knows this doesn't apply to him. A newspaper clipping on Elijah's wall refers to a mudslide in Mexico, where an infant is the sole survivor.

Raincoat of Horror: This film is a Psychological Thriller/Deconstruction of the Super Hero genre, but it strays into horror territory near the end when protagonist David Dunn confronts a sadistic janitor who has invaded a family home, killed the father, and held the wife and their two children captive. David wears a long, hooded rain poncho◊ that conceals his face for the duration of that scene. The poncho later makes an appearance in a newspaper article about his heroics, with an artist's depiction of the mysterious hooded hero◊ who rescued the two children gracing the front page.

Defeating the Janitor and saving the children is the first time David is hailed as a hero; Elijah later points out that this is just the first step in his burgeoning career as a real-life hero.

Sequel Hook

comment
Sequel Hook: The movie as a whole stands alone just fine, but being a Super Hero Origin and establishing that David is a real-world superhero with the intent of fighting criminals, the movie ends before we see anything come of that. As such, a sequel was requested by basically everyone up until the announcement of Glass (2019) nearly 18 years later.

Obliviously Superpowered
 Unbreakable / int_632390db
comment
Obliviously Superpowered: David Dunn has preternatural levels of strength, resilience, and health, but because he's never had a reason to seriously push himself, these abilities have gone unnoticed for most of his life: it's not until finds himself as the sole survivor of a devastating train crash that he realizes that there might be something unusual about him - but even then, it takes a note from Elijah Price to make him realize that he's never been sick. It later turns out that he was aware of his powers, having used his strength to rescue his future wife from a car crash, but willingly forgot about them so he wouldn't have to continue his football career, even feigning a Career-Ending Injury to that end.

Author Appeal: It was Samuel L. Jackson (himself a major comic book geek) who suggested that purple be the theme color for Elijah. This is because purple is Jackson’s favorite color, and it is a color often associated with famous comic book supervillains (The Joker, Lex Luthor, and the Green Goblin, just to name a few). A rather big clue as to who Elijah really is.

Big Bad Friend: Elijah is the Big Bad of the film, which he reveals only when he and David are starting to become friends near the end. After becoming intrigued by the comics his mother gave him, he becomes obsessed with the hero/villain archetypes presented in the stories. Over the years, he engineers mass disasters that kill hundreds of people to find his antithesis, a real hero. He manipulates David over the course of the film to fill this archetype not to save people, but to find meaning in his own life.

Psychometry: The film has David discovering that he has the ability to read evil intentions and/or actions in a person via physical contact. He never gave it much thought, as he never tried to develop it and dismissed it as intuition. Elijah eventually confirms that his intuition is extremely accurate, to the point of describing the look and design of a concealed gun. A recurring image in the film is David feeling uncomfortable with physical contact, even from his wife and son, indicating this power contributes to a subconscious distress he can't understand.

Self-Serving Memory: A fairly dramatic version. One of the first holes in Elijah's beliefs was that David was in a car accident in college that created a Career-Ending Injury for his professional football prospects. When Elijah meets Audrey she reveals that as a physical therapist she wasn't happy about the violence of the sport, which caused him to theorize David faked being hurt in the car crash because he cared more about being with Audrey, who was hurt in the crash. Then over time he conditioned himself to think he really was injured, which ironically contributed to feelings of lost potential.

Foreshadowing
 Unbreakable / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Most notably, every establishing shot of Elijah through his life being framed in a glass object (mirror, television, picture display panel) and his mother noting, "They say this one has a surprise endin'!" Details like this make the movie equally entertaining during repeat viewings. His mother's remark that whatever God has planned for him will happen seems to portent Elijah’s apparently inescapable destiny as a supervillain. When Elijah is trying to sell a comic picture, his description of a typical supervillain describes himself. The morning after David rescues the family, Audrey mentions that they should make it a family rule that if they see Elijah again, they call the police. David looks hesitant but agrees anyway. The next time David sees him, he discovers Elijah was responsible for a number of mass deaths incidents, and the subtitles indicate David led the police to him. The line Elijah's mother gives about the "soldier villain" who fights the hero with his hands. While this is likely a reference to the janitor that David just took down, with the release of Split, this line doubles as retroactive foreshadowing for the emergence of Kevin Wendell Crumb as the Horde, with the Beast persona in particular becoming the "soldier villain" who fights David in Glass (2019).

Super-Toughness: David discovers that he is highly durable when he's involved in a train crash and comes out unharmed without a scratch on him. His durability is shown to have limits, for although he sustained no serious harm from the crash, it did knock him out for a while, since he woke up in the hospital. It is also revealed that he nearly drowned as a child. It's unconfirmed how he would respond to a gunshot, since he successfully talks his son into giving up the gun, and even Elijah points out that he never said David couldn't be killed. As a deconstruction, this ability leads to David having a serious case of Survivor's Guilt as he is the only one to walk away from the train crash unharmed when so many others died.

Super-Strength: David is clearly shown as being an incredibly strong individual; however, the film never actually confirms the upper limits to David's strength: they run out of weights to put on the bar for him to lift and put several heavy objects on top of that.note A deleted scene shows he can lift an excess of 500 pounds. He's able to wrench open the door of a crashed car. David wasn't aware of this, as he never pushed himself beyond what he thought he could do. It's almost Strong as They Need to Be.

Given the movie's comic book themes, there is a subtle one that is Fridge Brilliance on later viewings. As noted above, the Color Motif that goes with Elijah is purple, and his office has a large Egyptian mural behind his chair, both of which are references to Ozymandias from Watchmen. It's Fridge Brilliance after you’ve seen both movies, read the latter's source material, or both, and know that both characters are actually secretly the villain of the work.

Supervillain: Also deconstructed, in that the film explores what would drive a real person to become one, and what massive loss of life the scale of true super-villainy would entail. The hero-villain relation is also reversed; the villain isn't there to give the hero purpose in the plot, the villain created the hero to give himself purpose in the 'plot' of life.

Secondary Color Nemesis: Elijah talks about the use of secondary colors to characterize villains in comic books. The first villain David faces on his path to becoming a superhero is a sadistic janitor who wears bright orange overalls, while his diabolical arch-enemy wears purple, because it's Elijah himself. However, David himself is associated with green, rather than red, yellow, or blue. This does fit in with the hero on the cover of Elijah's first comic book, though; he had a green costume with a yellow cape. The "Security" logo on the back of David's poncho is also yellow, thus making him match the superhero's color scheme.

Tragic Villain: Elijah is Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life. He thinks that being a super-villain is better than not knowing who one really is, so he engineers several disasters to find his antithesis, a real-life superhero. He seems to express remorse for the sacrifices necessary to complete his life's work, but believes it was worth it to finally know who he is.

Lantern Jaw of Justice: When showing off a piece of comic book art to a prospective client, Elijah explains how the square jaw is common to superheroes, while supervillains have more pointed facial features. Later, a sketch artist's rendering of the hero who saved the kids (David) is given a jawline to rival Dick Tracy.

Treacherous Advisor: Everything Elijah teaches David is so that he can be a great superhero and save people from other villains, but he has ulterior motives for guiding David on his journey. He wants David to be the hero so his own role as the villain is defined and was willing to engineer the deaths of hundreds of people in order to make this happen.

Color-Coded Characters
 Unbreakable / int_bb660963
comment
Color-Coded Characters: A deliberate addition to the style of the film. Like comic book characters, many of the people David encounters sport a Color Motif. David's is green. Elijah's is purple. The janitor is orange. And, like The Sixth Sense, red has major symbolic importance in the train station. In addition, whenever David senses someone has done or is planning to do something wrong, they are wearing bright colors or some other distinctive clothing that makes them stand out from the crowd. The wardrobe department played to this by having each character dress in more muted-colored versions of their outfits initially, with the colors becoming more vivid as their heroic/villainous aspects became more apparent.

Shout-Out
 Unbreakable / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Elijah's hairstyle is based on Frederick Douglass. Given the movie's comic book themes, there is a subtle one that is Fridge Brilliance on later viewings. As noted above, the Color Motif that goes with Elijah is purple, and his office has a large Egyptian mural behind his chair, both of which are references to Ozymandias from Watchmen. It's Fridge Brilliance after you’ve seen both movies, read the latter's source material, or both, and know that both characters are actually secretly the villain of the work. There is another in the scenes in the house when David is wearing his green raincoat with a hood pulled up, making him look like The Spectre. What do David and The Spectre have in common? They both punish the guilty and the first Spectre drowned, like David almost did as a child. The note Elijah left David "How many days in your life have you been sick?" is written in Comic Sans, a font directly inspired by the lettering in comic books.

A Million Is a Statistic: The movie makes efforts to avoid this. We hear about 100+ people dying in the train crash, but a memorial service for the dead shows a mural with pictures of every one and the pastor is reading off every name and their occupation. David falls into a depression over Survivor's Guilt. Elijah states that he had been watching all these various incidents that result in mass deaths looking for someone like David, and when David realizes Elijah orchestrated all those accidents he is shaken over the loss of life.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In-universe, Elijah believes that the concept of the superhero, dating back to the epic heroes of the ancient world, was inspired by real-life people with superhuman qualities. The film itself is based on actual medical stories, both Elijah's brittle bones and David's indestructible bones. In fact, one story has a man in a car accident and was unharmed, but went to the hospital because that's what you're supposed to do. They learned that his bones were ultra-dense, as strong as granite, and the only indication he had before the accident was that he couldn't swim.

Unbuilt Trope
 Unbreakable / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: A deconstructive film that explores what a 'realistic' superhero would be like, long before 'realistic' superheroes were even a thing in motion pictures. It's older than Batman Begins, preceded only by actual comic book deconstructions such as Watchmen. It also goes even further than later deconstructions: David is entirely human, has only some above-average abilities and no super-gadgets, and struggles with accepting his role because he thinks heroes are just the stuff of stories, whilst his Eccentric Mentor Elijah speculates that heroic characters are in fact inspired by real-life heroes such as him. Elijah proves how dangerous applying tropes to real life can be; to force it into a narrative that makes sense to him, he arranges the deaths of hundreds of people to cement himself as a super-villain and find his natural opposite, David's superhero.

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: David's awkward flirtation with a girl on his doomed train trip is portrayed as not only inept, but sleazy. Audrey later asks him, with no strings attached, if he has cheated since they've been having problems, and he tells her no. Her emotional reaction to that (and a Deleted Scene) suggests she may have been unfaithful or nearly was as well. My God, What Have I Done?: What's worse is that the girl changed seats after David hit on her. As David was the Sole Survivor, the implication (before he finds out he's Nigh-Invulnerable) is that she might have survived as well if David hadn't caused her to move.

Shown Their Work: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a real disease, and was classified into four types at the time the film was made, as explained by Elijah (who explains further that he has Type I, the most common and least severe one). Today, there are seven known types. The mutation of the LRP5 gene can also result in ultra-dense bones. Interestingly, this effect was only noticed by scientist Karl Insogna in 1994 after a man was found uninjured after what appeared to be a serious car accident. The only hint of the condition he had previously was his tendency to sink like a stone in water. People with the mutation also tend to have “unusually square jaws.� Sounds familiar enough to be inspiration.
