b'In the wake of the enormous success of \\u201cThe Sixth Sense\\u201d, M. Night Shyamalan\\u2019s follow-up \\u201cUnbreakable\\u201d was seen as a disappointment, but we think it deserves a critical reappraisal. 2000 was a desert for superhero movies, but \\u201cUnbreakable\\u201d actually seems more impressive after 15 years of modern takes on the genre. We discuss the film\\u2019s interesting color palette, the weight of a full paint can, the water-resisting qualities of Bruce Willis\\u2019s green poncho, why anyone would like the colors rust and brown, and the practicality of Samuel L. Jackson carrying a glass cane. And stick around\\u2014I hear this one\\u2019s got a surprise ending.'
