The other evening, I picked Unbreakable (2000) off the shelf to kind-of watch while folding some newsletters.  It's been awhile since I've considered this M. Night Shyamalan classic, which didn't reach the popularity of The Sixth Sense (1999) or Signs (2002).  I figured that Theresa wouldn't have interest, but she confessed that she'd only seen parts of the film and would see how it went.  Theresa's analysis: the movie ended too sharply. Note: trailer below, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_f1uCWKZQs.

I still find the irony of the "good guy's" inability to sense his proximity to "the most evil character in the film" of great interest.  Maybe if David Dunn (played by Bruce Willis) had not lied about receiving injury at the car crash years ago (so that he could "get his girl"), he would have been more "in tune" and not need to be "mentored" into his role by "Mr. Glass," (i.e., Elijah Price played by Samuel L. Jackson). 

A search for meaning permeates the characters of the film, even the director in his brief cameo.  Where do we find meaning?  What stories do we inhabit?  Are you ready for the Way, the Truth, and the Life?  More to write, but heading out the door to receive the Word of God as part of the people of God assembled as Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ.
