Unbreakable: The discovery of a Superhero

Unbreakable is a 2000 American psychological thriller film written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The film stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Robin Wright Penn.Unbreakable tells the story of Philadelphia security guard, David Dunn, who slowly discovers that he is a superhero. The film is a study on the dimensions of comic books; it explores the analogies between the real world and the mythology of superheroes.

Elijah Price(Samuel L. Jackson) is born with Type I osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare disease in which bones break easily. Drawing on what he has read in comic books during his many hospital stays, Price theorizes that if he is frail at one extreme, then perhaps there is someone strong at the opposite extreme.

Years later, Security guard David Dunn(Bruce Willis) is also searching for meaning in his life. Returning from a job interview in New York, David is the sole survivor of a horrific train wreck that kills 131 passengers, sustaining no injuries himself. He is contacted by the adult Elijah, who proposes to a disbelieving David that he is a real instance of the kind of person after whom comic-book superheroes are modeled.

This movie shows the confrontation of Good and Evil in the "superhero world". The superhero that represents "good"is strong and nothing can hurt him, in our case he portrays ROBUST.  The "evil" superhero instead is very weak and breaks easily, for us he portrays FRAGILE.
