Shymalan's best shot:
The Village is his best looking movie (and highkey his best film in general). Roger Deakins killed it like always.

Its been so long but I swear I remember that movie seeming so goofy

The Village is 100% his best film, I don’t know why it doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
Imagine not realizing that this is the most beautiful moment in his whole filmography.
So happy to see Bautistas growth!
Watching this for him tbh. Dude can actually act act

Very talented and seems to be picking good projects these days (Dune, Blade Runner)
I have a family member who works at the hotel all the actors and other people who worked on this movie stayed at. Super hype for it
One day more people we’ll realize the weird dialogue and awkward performances are intentional in his work. Old was brilliant. I’ve never seen so many people misunderstand what something was going for. Can’t believe it’s been over a year and still there’s people walking away from it thinking all of its decisions were just inept.
Literally gives off old school italian dub vibes with how unnatural the dialogue is. It's great but most of the time I don't even notice how weird the dialogue sounds because dialogue in film in general sound unrealistic allot of the time. Like the awkward dialogue in 5:17 to Paris feels closer to the way actual people talk than idk any Tarantino movie. El Roth probably writes more realistic human dialogue than Aaron Sorkin or some other overpraised hack and he actually gets hate for it.
anyways, yeah it's clearly a stylistic choice for M Night.

I'd even go as far as saying out of all the WWE guys in Hollywood, he's got the most range by far.

100%
no your taste in film is just awful
i just didnt get the hype, i still think his best is Signs
F*** this dude. OLD one of the worst movies ever this dude is trash
OLD wasn’t that bad lmao
Entertaining at the least
when it comes to Shyamalan, mfs love to let you know just how dumb and dismissive they are, all because they think everyone is gunna agree with their s*** takes this man got multiple films beloved by p much everyone, but still gets s***ted on as WOAT by hypebeasts too dumb to understand what they’re watching
I mean he also has films hated by everyone as well I don't really see your point it's not like he's huge box office draw either.

Yah the way people look at realism in films (in this case specifically dialogue) is backwards. Almost all narrative films will have a pretty high level of artifice and distance on all fronts just by nature of being a movie aka a recreation of real life and many directors/writers will overcompensate on this by leaning into the most straight-laced and self-serious dialogue possible to hold onto any fraction of the "real world" when that within itself erases all the nuances or bumpiness of human contact. Personally I prefer someone like M. Night who leans into this distance from reality and stylizes his film's version of reality in interesting ways.
Films that actually lean into realistic depictions of real-life conversation/speech, like you said, are often written off as awkward or stiff (your examples of Roth and 15:17 to Paris are great, also think of something like The Bling Ring) because how not used viewers are to seeing nuances like that being picked up on in a film.
btw is this who I think it is :kermit: if so heyyyy
