M Night: Genius or Hack? [career breakdown]

M Night Shamylan is a divisive figure in Hollywood. He’s been praised as much as he has been hated. I want to break down and analyze his career and outline his filmography. His portfolio is exciting but fraught with failures and successes alike. I think some people think M Night has fallen off but I think that we are just getting started with his comeback story.

Currently he released the film “trap” with Josh Hartnett and many are on the fence about how his newest debut actually went. Some say that hate it, others loved it. No one is really seeking middle ground. Then there is the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. Outstanding movies for which he is remembered. So why such a bleak contrast. This video talks about the differences, where I think M Night’s career will go, and why I still think he’s one of the best directors working.
