I recently did a similar post about the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" here: https://greatawakening.win/p/142B0yTy2m/q-comms-in-2011-matt-damon-movie/ for those who are interested.
So, first, a word about "Unbreakable." I was 17 years old when I first saw it (coincidence?). It was instantly my favorite movie, and it has been ever since. I've forced every girl I ever dated to watch it, including my wife, and a sizable portion of my friends throughout the years. It captivated me like no other movie ever had before, and it still captivates me to this day.
I think I know the reason this story inspires me so much. It's the same reason the story of Christ inspires me. It suggests that human beings can be much more than what they appear to be, if they can simply get themselves to believe it. But as my Q eyes have been opened, I now see much more in this story. It is, I believe, a type and a shadow of Q and the Great Awakening.
The story is about David Dunn (funny, the main character's name in "The Adjustment Bureau" was also David), a security guard who works at Temple University in Philadelphia who miraculously survives a train crash that killed every other person on board. After the funeral of his fellow passengers, David finds a note on his car from the owner of a comic book art gallery asking him if he's ever been sick.
The man who wrote the note's name is Elijah Price, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Elijah has a rare autoimmune disorder that makes his bones extremely soft and brittle. Both his arms and his legs broke in several places at the moment of his birth, and by the time he meets David Dunn, he has had 54 breaks throughout his life.
This is a classic technique to get you to like a character. George R.R. Martin, writer of "Game of Thrones" once said that it was weakness and suffering that endears us to characters. It's hard not to like and root for Elijah when we've seen all he's been through. Not only do his bones break, but he's teased at school for it, referred to as "Mr. Glass" by his schoolmates.
On top of his own personal suffering, we're drawn in to like him even more as we watch his sweet, single mother, do all she can to empower him and raise him right despite this massive handicap. One day, after Elijah breaks his arm when he was around 10 or 11 years old, his mother leaves a present for him across the street at a park where children, who might as well be human bowling balls to Elijah, are running to and fro without a care in the world.
After braving these elements and crossing the street he opens the gift and finds a comic book inside. His mother tells him that she's bought "a whole bunch", and that there will be one waiting for him on that bench every day, anytime he wants to work up the guts to go out and grab it. An absolutely heartwarming moment in the movie. How do you not root for that kid?
After receiving this note from Elijah (by the way, I think it bears mentioning that Elijah was a prophet who was instrumental in bringing an end to Baal worship in Old Testament Israel) David, who's been stunned by the realization that he'd never actually been sick before, goes to the comic book art gallery to inquire as to why Elijah wrote him that note.
Elijah reveals to David his condition ("osteogenesis imperfecta") and shares with him his theory that there must be someone on the opposite end of the spectrum from him--someone whose bones don't break. He reveals that whenever a horrible disaster occurs that results in many deaths he waits to hear news people say a very specific series of words: "There is a sole survivor, and he is miraculously unharmed."
Over the course of the movie, David and Elijah become friends. Elijah encourages David to embrace and test his physical strength, and the intuition that seems to alert him to when someone he's touched has recently committed a horrible crime, in order to fulfill his destiny, to go where people are, and to fight crime just like a superhero.
After David slays a veritable Goliath who has recently murdered the mother and father of a small family, David fully embraces his new identify as a secret superhero, lets his son in on the secret (who's already his biggest fan), and mends things with his wife whom he's had problems with ever since he quit playing college football for her 20 years ago (she hated violence--so he chose her over football).
There's a beautiful and terrifying twist at the end of the movie though (which was foreshadowed earlier by Elijah's mother, who literally says "I hear this one has a surprise ending").
When David is attending Elijah's gallery show a few days after slaying this giant psychopath who killed the parents of that family, Elijah holds out his hand for David to shake, presumably in congratulations, but then, David, upon making contact with Elijah, sees in a vision that all the disasters that Elijah said he had followed on the news, hoping to hear the words I mentioned before, including the train wreck that David survived...were actually caused by Elijah.
This was the penultimate cinematic moment of my entire life. Never before had a writer managed to draw me in so well into loving a character, only to discover that not only is he not a laudable character, but he's actually a hyper egotistical mass murderer. I honestly couldn't sleep the night after I first watched it, that's how much it shook me.
The sequel to "Unbreakable" didn't come out until 2017 ("Unbreakable" was released in 2000) and it was called "Split" starring James McAvoy. The brilliance of this film though is found in the fact that M. Night Shyamalan didn't tell anyone before he released that it was in fact a sequel. He even removed the final scene from the movie that reveals this for the critic screening so that no fans would be tipped off before going to see it.
Suffice it to say, when I heard the music from "Unbreakable" start to play during that last scene in "Split", and I saw Bruce Willis in that diner at the end, I basically shit myself. I mean, i literally started crying and calling every person I had ever made watch "Unbreakable" and begged them to watch "Split" without telling them why just in the hopes they could have a similar experience to the one I had.
Anyway, the third installment of this series was called "Glass" (presumably because of Mr. Glass, Elijah Price) and it really tied things up nicely. I actually just watched all three movies again today with my wife and a few friends, and the entire experience was incredible.
But now to the Q comms I found throughout the three films.
1.The main character's name is David (oddly, the same as the main character in "Adjustment Bureau") David is 718 in gematria ("think mirror" makes it 817--I always look for 11's, 17's, and 45's in movies now)
2."Think mirror." Glass is another word for mirror. Just like Split is another word for Broken, or brittle, the opposite of Unbreakable. M. Night does several scenes where he uses mirrors to tell the story. One scene is filmed entirely through the reflection of an old television set. Mirrors are found constantly throughout the movie, usually involving scenes with Elijah.
3."Watch the water." David's cryptonite is water. The one time he was ever sick or injured was when he was in elementary school and some kids were dunking him. He's been fearful of water ever since.
4.It's 107 minutes long (there's 1 and 7 again)
5.Opening scene mentions 172,000 comics are sold in the U.S. every day (17)2,000.
6.The number of the train David was on that crashed: eastrail 177 = (17)7
7.The number of passengers who died: 117 = 1(17)
9.Elijah mentions he has had 54 breaks in his life ("think mirror" 45, Donald Trump)
9.When Elijah comes to find David at his work at the Temple University football Stadium, he arrives at gate 17c. David gets a call on his walkie talkie that says: "Dunn, it's Jenkins, we got a guy at gate 17c with a bogus ticket. Says he knows you. He won't tell me his name."
10.M. Night waited 17 years to release the sequel to "Unbreakable", "Split." Its U.S. release date? January 20th, 2017. The exact same day that Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States.
11."Split" is about a man with Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D.) who's managing 24 different personalities within the same head. The two things that triggered this fracture of the mind were the severe physical and emotional abuse he got from his mother as a young child, and his abandonment from his father, who we later learn in "Glass" didn't abandon him at all, but simply died on the same train crash where we met David Dunn (Bruce Willis) 17 years earlier (he didn't know this though).
12.In "Glass" we see the number 17 pop up at least 10 times. Usually on computer monitors with security camera recordings. It's pretty obvious and at one point I had all my friends yelling "there's another one!"
13.We learn near the end of "Glass" right before David, Elijah, and Kevin (the D.I.D. guy) all die, that the person they have thought this entire time was a well-meaning therapist who was trying to help them cope with the delusion they all supposedly suffer from, was actually a member of a shadowy cabal who knows there are people with these abilities, but are afraid that if the world learns about them, they'll spring up all over the place, and they're not ready to see the world take off on its own like that just yet. They've been controlling things "for 10,000 years" and they see no reason they should stop now just because some people who think they're superheroes actually became superheroes merely by having faith.
14.They don't succeed though. Elijah fulfills his mission. Unbeknownst to this shadowy cabal, Mr. Glass, the mastermind, never actually intended to "go where people are" to wake the world up at the new "Osaka Tower" which is dubbed "Philadelphia's tallest building" (Babel?) to the reality of David and Kevin's superpowers. It was all a ruse to get the cabal to attack them while they were still at the asylum, where Elijah was livestreaming all the events that were taking place there and sending them to a separate site. After Elijah, David, and Kevin's death, that video footage gets emailed to Elijah's sweet mother, David's faithful son, and Kevin's almost-girlfriend. The three of them post the content online, and they sit back and watch in an Amtrak station as people's phones start to go off and as the world experiences a great awakening of sorts. Elijah's mother at this moment says "I know what this is. This is the moment we're let in on the universe."
15.It bears mentioning what Elijah said right before all this happens: "There are unknown forces that don't want us to realize what we are truly capable of. They don't want us to know the things we suspect are extraordinary about ourselves are real. I believe that if everyone sees what just a few people become when they wholly embrace their gifts, others will awaken. Belief in oneself is contagious. We give each other permission to be superheroes. We will never awaken otherwise. Whoever these people are who don't want us to know the truth, today, they lose."
That line by Elijah really hit me. It reminds me so much of that moment when Simon Peter stepped out of his boat and walked on water just as Jesus had done. People often forget that it wasn't just Jesus working miracles in the New Testament--faith made it possible for others to do superhuman works as well. I think we should all keep that in mind.
16.Another amazing quote by the evil (or is he repentant?) mastermind, Elijah Price: "Everything extraordinary can be explained away, and yet it is true. I think deep down you know this. Everything we will see and do will have a basis in science. But it will have limits. This is the real world, not a cartoon. And yet some of us don't die from bullets. Some of us can still bend steel. That is not a fantasy."
17.At the end of the movie, after our evil cabal therapist thinks she's won, she's in a comic book store perusing, and hears one employee say to the other about a character names "Mastermind": "He's too smart. That's why he's the mastermind. He'll never tell you his real plan. He sets everybody up. Gets them looking in one direction."
Sound like someone we know? Trump? Q? Both? Disinformation is necessary.
Anyway, there you go. I invite all to watch all three and see what they find. If nothing else you should be entertained, if not Q inspired, like I was.
M. Night Shyamalan has been my favorite Director since these movies came out. Glass definitely is my favorite out of these 3 movies.
