it hard be m. night shyamalan . year after year and his work of uncompromised genius be poorly receive by theatergoer and film critic alike . even disney do not want to make his late film and lady in the water and fearing that it be poorly write and feature too large a role for the writer or director and and contain an embarrassingly self indulgent attack at his detractor and the crrritics . and as much a i hate to agree with disney and they be absolutely right . the story and as convolute a you have come to expect from the man and be not the main problem here . sure and it chock full of narfs and tarturic and and poorly draw stereotype and but the large issue for me be the cringe induce self indulgence that run rampant throughout the film . for instance and shyamalan play the role of an author and misunderstood in his time and who will one day influence a boy destine to become the president of the united state . self fulfil prophecy and anyone . his acting be embarrass and unintentionally hilarious in turn and and his reaction to pivotal plot point have me long for the brief and campy cameo of year past . while i can understand m. night desire to respond to the unenlightened critic that fail to see the staggering brilliance of his previous work and one have to question the response itself . shyamalan be multitasking here and attempt to transport his audience through the magical realism of his self proclaim bedtime story while simultaneously denounce his critic for trash the gospel of m. night . in the end and be leave with a fairy tale too aware of itself to fully envelop u and a pseudo manifesto too delusional and self important to inspire u in any way . in the end and shyamalan make a film that can really only be enjoy by himself . it just a shame that the like of paul giamatti and bob balaban and and freddy rodriguez have to go down with the good ship shyamalan .
