Reply to comment by Voidblazer in Is the movie 'split' really as good as people say it is? by xxxThotslayer_69xxx

That didn't really look like it to me since the beast was more so portrayed as this unstoppable force to me who just spared the protagonist since she was also a victim of trauma and he believed people who endured trauma to be better (the beast also literally took two shot gun shots to the chest from approximately 2-3m or so and just sorta ended up with minor injuries afterwards)

That's sort of what I mean, though. There's this unstoppable force, and the thing that protects you from it is the pain you've suffered and overcome...this thing that made you an immovable object. I get where you're coming from. It just hit me completely different. I felt like "yes, all the pain that you suffered mattered, and led up to this moment of triumph." That's what I walked away with, anyways.

To me it more so felt like she was spared rather than triumph over it but I do kind of understand where you're coming from

This one has a sweet spot in my heart. It was my favorite of his series. It had such a unique approach to giving the protagonist the "supernatural power". Sure, "triumph" in this one is "survive when every other person who encountered big bad dies horribly." I get ya.
