Writers Statement:
For the Writing Publication task, I decided to do a film review on the recently released film Split as I enjoyed watching the message of the movie unfold through the plot twists. My purpose for the film review was to discuss the aspects of the film that stood out to me and the parts that I would assume people who watch horror would enjoy. I decided to use the subtitle The Power of Abuse as it informs the reader of the major theme that is found within the film. This theme is a predominant topic in the film review and therefore also notifies them of the upcoming discussions. I have also expressed my opinion towards the film through assertion in my opening sentence. “The film, Split, doesn’t display any sense of fear but …show more content…
The psychological film directed by M. Night Shyamalan was released January 2017 and lacks all qualities of humanity. Shyamalan has a habit of writing complicated and unexpected endings that leave the audience questioning. His rising success from The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, slowly crumbled after a series of disappointing and predictable movies. However, it began again after the release of the comedy horror, The Visit which has now led to the success of his recent film Split. Nevertheless, Splits success is centred on the outstanding acting displayed by James McAvoy and the powerful theme displayed in the …show more content…
Kevin experienced psychological abuse when he was younger that consequently resulted in the creation of his personalities to protect him. Kevin’s newly introduced identity the beast, who is a mythical creature that feeds off of those who are not pure, is introduced by the Hordes and is a display of the pain Kevin went through. In the film Casey and Kevin’s Situations are seen as similar, but Casey experienced physical abuse from her caregiver who is her uncle. Therefore, Casey and Kevin are able to be compared to one another as the film displays how each handle the situations they are placed in. The ending scenes of the film are gruesome and uncomfortable to watch but bear with me it’s not because of the 2 girls being eaten alive but more of so because of the confrontation between the beast and Casey. Casey having an understanding of the haunting circumstances she is in, succeeds where the other girls failed. The confrontation between the Beast and Casey is disturbing as she displays her scars of self-harm to it, and it recognises in some sort of allied spirit leaving her alone and rushing off into the night. The final scene ends with Casey admitting to the abuse that she has gone through contrasting Kevin who kept his abuse
