Medianoche Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I just saw the 2000 film "Unbreakable". It gave me some insight into the reasons to be a 'secret' nova. I like the way the relationship between the hero, his wife, and his son developed.I know it came out at the Dawn of the Nova Age, but I found it relevant and interesting. Anyone else?

Evan-Happy Scientist Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Man, I loved Bruce Willis in that role. Remember, at the end the works with the authorities to bring down Mr. Glass though. Novas can do more to make the world a better place by coming forward with our gifts and abilities.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say so. Interesting, yes. The point to Unbreakable was that he was a singular person, with powers that were virtually unheard of until he showed up. He lived in hiding, and couldn't even share his new life with his wife. I think that its relevance to Novas begins and ends with the fact that it's about someone with powers.But it was an interesting movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preach it, brodda. The movie - yeah, it was good, but I don't think it's any more relevant to the nova condition than, say, comic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fade Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Mr. Glass was clearly symbolic of weak, corrupt baseline society, while the hero represented all that the nova race can achieve. Didn't care much for the ending, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've never found movies about novas all that interesting, but that could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Some are pretty good, especially ones that don't follow a predictable plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
