0:03
it's unbreakable boy the unbreakable boy
0:07
what is this a superhero movie is he
0:10
unbreakable like Bruce Willis well uh
0:14
he's like the last breakable movie uh
0:16
he's got the kind of the same disease uh
0:19
the kid here has a brittle bone disease
0:22
so uh basically this comes from okay
0:24
Lion's gate comes from Lion gate it
0:27
comes from their faith division which
0:28
seems to be doing better than it's
0:30
feature division you mean movies that
0:32
make money yeah exactly and I think this
0:35
one will it's got a very uh positive
0:37
message but uh the boy here is uh his
0:42
name is Austin he has uh brittle bone
0:45
disease I forget the name of it he Al is
0:47
also autistic uh Zachary Levi plays his
0:50
father who kind of uh you know he met a
0:53
girl the mother uh Teresa played by
0:56
Megan Fey um and uh after three dates
0:59
she get is pregnant and uh they enter
1:01
this relationship uh when the when the
1:04
son is born they realize that there's
1:07
something wrong and uh he basically got
1:09
the same brittle bone disease as his
1:10
mother um H they also have another child
1:14
and so it follows uh the path of this
1:17
family up until High School basically um
1:20
or Junior High and uh what I like about
1:24
this movie so it it's the story of a of
1:27
a father who wanted a child uh got it
1:31
thrust upon Him by surprise and realized
1:34
from from uh from from Austin here that
1:38
uh that this wasn't The Parent
1:41
Parenthood the fatherhood that he
1:43
expected you know it the idea of he
1:45
wanted a normal child and the way he
1:47
dealt with uh just the frustration of
1:51
you know having to constantly be going
1:52
to the hospital because he breaks he's
1:54
always breaking bones I think 24 is the
1:57
total number of bones he broke up until
2:00
um and then the autism doesn't help
2:02
either uh and the and this frustration
2:05
he's felt uh he he basically uh dealt
2:09
with it through alcohol and uh he
2:12
becomes an alcoholic uh and uh to the
2:15
point where uh he he goes to a New
2:18
Year's Eve party with the two boys and
2:21
uh he he drinks it up just a little bit
2:23
too much and doesn't remember coming
2:25
home and he gets booed and he has to
2:27
kind of make that life decision uh
2:30
as Austin refers to that moment as uh
2:33
the point in which uh the family broke
2:36
and and this idea of breaking is the
2:38
theme of it um I really like this film
2:42
uh especially as you know the faith
2:44
stuff is there um and I kind of
2:46
appreciate Lions Gates's approach to it
2:49
uh the last movie I really enjoyed from
2:51
them was unsung heroes but to me you
2:55
know having been a Christian all my life
2:57
uh and have known a lot of people um
3:00
you know the idea that oh something bad
3:02
is going to happen we'll pray about it
3:04
and everything will be okay to me as as
3:07
uplifting and positive as that is it
3:08
doesn't always reflect you know my life
3:11
as a Christian and my friends lives as
3:12
Christians and what what this movie
3:16
points out is that we are all broken
3:18
people and that we all have our our you
3:21
know hurdles in life we have to overcome
3:24
and in this case you know you know the
3:26
only normal person in this family is the
3:29
Zachary Levi character and he resents
3:31
God for having put him through it put
3:33
put him through all this and that he
3:35
wishes he could take all the pain and
3:37
Trauma of his family and put it on him
3:39
instead and that that's a very powerful
3:41
message and it's played out very well um
3:44
and uh it's just a story of redemption
3:47
the the Zachary Levi character believe
3:48
it or not is the bad guy in the movie uh
3:51
and you have the this kid Austin here um
3:54
played by uh Jak Jacob Laval uh amazing
3:58
I don't know his situation whether he's
3:59
really Autistic or not but he gives a
4:01
really great performance um and um
4:04
highly recommended it's a very family
4:06
film uh probably for a little bit
4:09
probably for the older children but uh I
4:12
just appreciate its message its
4:14
positivity um we're going to talk about
4:16
this later but stories positive stories
4:19
like this are few and far between and uh
4:22
but these stories are very powerful and
4:25
it's uh I highly recommend breakable boy
4:27
unbreakable boy well it's one of those
4:30
things it's a type of movie that they
4:32
used to make and they weren't even
4:33
faith-based they were just like
4:36
uplifting that's what you would say
4:37
these movies are I saw a a film that's
4:40
similar to this from Angel Studios that
4:42
comes out next month and I got suckered
4:46
again I'll talk like these movies I'm
4:49
all like because I'm kind of like H give
4:52
me a break give me a break give me a
4:53
break and um I don't know I feel like
4:56
these movies are popular because
5:00
it's a positive uplifting message so I
5:04
haven't seen this film I probably
5:06
wouldn't go see it if I end up seeing it
5:09
I'll probably like it and I'll be mad at
5:11
you that you recommended it so there you
5:14
go well sorry no no it's okay it's okay
5:17
I'm just saying that I think these
5:19
movies res they're also not very
5:21
expensive right it's not they're not
5:24
superhero effects It's a drama it's
5:27
simply people talking in a room no you
5:29
know an action scene so I think films
5:33
like this do well and are making a
5:35
comeback yeah I think the business model
5:38
of this is interesting because I think
5:41
the idea is that it'll it'll break even
5:43
in the theater but like this tend to
5:45
have a life beyond it and so it'll make
5:48
more money over time I think that's
5:50
where Lion's gate kind of that's their
5:52
revenue source is is post theatrical and
5:57
and that's why I think they lean into
6:01
let's go so you recommend it recommend
6:03
it yes uh you know it the trailers do
6:06
look sappy but uh I know I saw the
6:08
trailer for this I'm like nah n not for
6:11
me yeah the kid is not as annoying as
6:14
you would think uh it would be uh in
6:16
fact it becomes endearing this constant
