Beauty Quote by M. Night Shyamalan

“The beauty of the world of Unbreakable is that you're playing it for reality. It should never feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a straight-up drama. It's real. You're confronting the possibility that comic book characters were based on people that were real.” quote by M. Night Shyamalan
