Psychologist session with Barry/Dennis [Split the movie] 

Pasajero De La Brújula the oscars is a joke... also glass sucked

darktennisball it was a sequel to Unbreakable more than a continuation of Split, somehow he tried to merge two ends with it and the result was terrible.

@@pasajerodelabrujula8261 lol i thought the ending was great

Yeah 😐

PuRpLePiCkLeS this movie came out a month or so before Get Out did, both films were on the higher end of the spectrum for originality and craftsmanship from screenplay to acting. It’s terrible this one received no major recognition.

cant remember the exact quote but I think its "the damaged are the most evolved"

@@dannycool59x49 It is "The broken are the more evolved"

I don't think Dennis was pretending to be Barry. In fact, in the switch from Barry to Dennis, which i also loved because of McAvoy´s acting( perhaps one of my favorite acting in a scene of all time), I'm pretty sure that for that brief moment, Kevin became to light ,just before becoming Dennis. You can realize that because of the sadness of his eyes. It makes sense because Dennis is the most protector of all Kevin´s personalities. He is the one that makes him equanimous, and here he manages to reveal himself in order to keep Kevin safe and not exposed.

@@mariozavalaaldana88 That sadness - just short of tears - was still Dennis. He was overwhelmed by the doctor's show of sympathy. She knew he would be on guard against her calculations and brittle to being disrespected, so she made a detailed show of understanding his higher motives, suggested his courses of action weren't without reason, and pointed out that neither of them wanted to hurt Kevin. Remember, Dennis lost ALL of the other personalities as allies when he chose to follow Patricia, desiring the protection of the Beast to keep Kevin safe. At this point, Patricia and Hedwig are his only allies and he feels isolated, judged and desperate. He went into the doctor's office hoping to keep the heat off for awhile longer, but was unprepared for her to be three steps ahead of him but welcome him with open arms anyway. This scene sets up his heartbreak over later events. I love it for the iron conviction that sets in when Dennis speaks with his own voice. "They keep calling use the Horde..........the others, you know? Miss Patricia and I, we are *ridiculed.* Now we're not perfect, but....we don't deserve to be ridiculed. We're all struggling, they have to *admit* that." The constant wariness of others' perceptions, of others' mockery. That forceful suggestion of what others *have* to admit. Dennis is terrifying.

This disorder has no evidence that it's real. Most likely he would show signs of borderline personality

*roles

he nailed everything tbh

It shows how the awards are rigged. This man did phenomenal. He played so many characters so distinctly. Just his body language tells you who it is.

He deserved many awards ❤️❤️🙋🏻‍♂️

I think roles like this shows the difference between how some people just do movies and make their living. But some of these people really want to ACT and do really good work.

Barry was in the beginning also who went to meet with Dr. First

@@2KILLAVILLE that was Dennis pretending. The doctor quite literally mentioned his "previous visits where you pretended to be Barry". This comment included that first visit. ... unless I'm mistaken. I believe the only times we actually see Barry are at the very end and also and the recorded videos on the computer.

@@gatewayrealtor664 could be true...cause I Remember her now saying something bout Barry being protective of his pics or drawings..but she was calling him Barry during the 1st visit tho cause the other 2 visits after she knew he was Dennis pretending to be Barry..I'm not sure but you could be right

2KILLAVILLE it’s always Dennis. The first visit he makes mistakes like forgetting his sketch pad etc. he also denies the email. We never see Barry until the video.

@@TheSuperNats idk..could be true but I believe Dr. Fletcher would've called Dennis out tho like during the other visits if it was Dennis pretending to be Barry during the first visit

People were saying his performance was "ok" and that "he's just playing five roles in one movie" But it's harder than that. He has to have each identity completely nailed out with their own tics their own destinnct voice their own moves their own posture their own aura essentially. It's incredible to watch him switch.

@@jlogan2228 I can't to see More of his Epic Acting in Glass!

J Logan Yeah it’s incredible watching him shift his posture slightly and... furrow his brow I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's actually amazing because he's acting a personality who's pretending to be another personality.

​@@colin-campbell It's not just that, not even close. It's his breathing pattern, his eye movement, and overall a radical behavioral transition when he sends nonverbal responses to the things she says. He goes from being choked up to an ultimate sense of composure almost instantaneously, which as anybody knows it's very difficult to conceal sadness evoked through tears. The camera doesn't cut away, which was a very nice touch. While we can't credit McAvoy for the change in the characters' dialogue, we can for the change in his dialect (and outside of the accent he has a completely altered his tone and flow of speech). He does it in a slightly exaggerated caricature sort of way as to differentiate the identities and provide a sort of cinematic presence (if you will), but they are all believable people. It's easy to imitate Trump or something, but it's a completely different task to take on Paul Smethers from Altoona, Iowa. It's the nuances that makes every character stick. I'm seeing the exact same white-skinned, head-buzzed male doing these things, but for some reason when first watching this I never said: "That's somebody doing an impression." Instead, I'm saying: "That's Dennis. ... That's Barry." Things like that. Him being a woman or a child is significantly more noticeable, but this scene would have been demoed for Oscar contention easily. And sure, he does shift his posture and furrow his brow. More than I can do, anyway. I'll take that, on top of the twenty other people he portrayed going into Glass.

He's not really underrated after his X-Men bid

McAvoy Tight!! Cant wait to see more of his Epic Acting in Glass!!

He was Dennis the whole time acting like Barry

@@sticktalk7830 I know. I mean the way he just dropped the facade was epic.

Oh wow he sits back and furrows his brow - so incredible(!)

He’s a dude, playin’ a dude, disguised as another dude!

Reminds me of Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black! She played Sarah who was in disguise as Cosima

@@TheAnders369 Tropic Thunder in a nutshell xD

he isn't playing Kevin in this scene. he's playing Dennis who is impersonating Barry. that's all.

You kind of made it sound more complicated than it is 😆He had to play Dennis undercover as Barry and crcks gradually into revealing he's really Dennis

Well to be fair to her there's 23 indentities to keep track of and find out about and she clearly has intimate knowledge of their personalities she knew it was Dennis because she noticed his OCD and she clearly knows Barry very well to easily spot it wasn't him. Also we have fore knowledge of what the Dennis and Patricia have done the doctor doesn't she knows the other identities are under stress and she's trying to find out. I think eventually one of them would have told her thats why Dennis went to the appointment as Barry.

All that prying actually spelled her doom. Some peoples minds are best left alone

That was her doing her job, very well I might add.

Yeah, that's not good therapy

@@brooklynkeith2877 you know he was killing girls right? He needed a mental hospital, not to be left alone

It is also Dennis who transform into the beast

Sephelutis Lucifus not true...The Beast is an independent alter, in Glass he transforms from Hedwig.

Dennis is very dangerous, but I think Patricia shouldn't be underestimated. She isn't physically strong, but she is cunning, and a perfectionist. I'd say she's "the brain" behind Dennis's actions, at least those that have something to do with the Beast.

@@thecannonfodder1144 Dennis reconsidered his actions at the end of Glass

Ah OCD?!? LMFAO No DID. Christ 🙄🤣

Rebekah Jackson Yaaaaas! I felt the SAME exact way! It was the subtle nuances in the change/transition that was really impressive to me. From his body language, to his voice, to even his facial expressions on his face.... I was impressed! You're right... It was sooo sexy!! lol... James McAvoy is a GREAT actor. Very underrated imo. :) And you're right, he really should have (at the VERY least) been nominated for an Oscar for this role. But I don't even think the film got recognized by the Academy that year at all. :-/

@@DestinyC1020 I totally agree with this comment to the fullest!!!!! 💯💯

He's short as hell

@@kalypsothefreak9717 um ok. Lls

Calm yourself

Empathy gets them to talk. I suppose her goal would be to try to heal and empower Kevin so he no longer needs the others.

are you kidding!? Kevin hadn't been in the light for years. All she gave a fuck about was having some medical marvel to get fundings and write books about. People with his condition under proper therapeutic settings recover in around 6 to 7 years. This bitch abused a young man and that is why she was killed by such a loving 'hug' by The Beast. He was the protective father figure who killed the terrible mom. I have HAD a therapist exactly like Fletcher to the point I thought it was her when I first time saw her in the movie and BELIEVE YOU ME! they are the worst! I got worse under her 'motherly' care and it got me nothing

Devyani Account she tried her best to understand him and helped him what is wrong with you. When she saw the kidnapped girl, she tried to advice him he’s wrong. She let the others get the chance to express themselves

And then she died

Exactly why he trusted her and showed empathy in return. Until she did too much 😂😩

Ikr

When you straighten your back you have a broader and more stable posture, and Dennis is so particular with how he acts, talks, and dresses that he subconsciously stands taller and bigger, cuz he's the most mature of the 23

Dennis is broken and the Beast was a purpose. Once he doubted the beast, he could see the broken person he had become.

brandon brooker I don’t think it was that he doubted the beast he believed what he could do, he saw it first hand multiple times not to mention he was the one who greeted the beast at the train station. . I think he just wanted nothing to do with it anymore towards the end of glass, in a way it seems he realized what the horde was doing was wrong.

@@johnnybravo8129 i meant doubted what he stood for, not his abilities

brandon brooker ah I got you, just a simple misunderstanding on my part. one can see how that could be taken both ways ya know what I mean

When the realperson came thru it was so sad I’m talking about Wendell

...so well* , sorry the Dennis in me couldn't surpass that 🤓 But I agree brilliant impression of subtleties or over the top exaggerations of what Barry really is like

People with D.I.D. can impersonate other alters with ease

@@HWest-lh7kf it just goes to show the level of trust and intimate knowledge Dr Fletcher has of their identities and their personalities that she saw straight through Dennis pretending to be Barry. She had never met Dennis before because he wasn't allowed to be in control but she knew him when she saw him and didn't ridicule or mock Dennis like he says the other indentities do she empathises with him then valids him as a person which is how she gained his trust I wish there were more scenes with her

James played Dennis played Barry so good 😊.

Dr Fletcher didn't ridicule or mock him like he says the other identities do. She spoke to him like an equal, empathised with him, showed she knew a lot about him without judging him and finally she validated Dennis as a person not some crazy figment of Kevin's imagination. Thats why Dennis dropped his facade

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Poor Kevin, at least he knew he others cared for him like Dr.Fletcher and Casey 🥺🥺♥️♥️

@@tayladunn7490 I agree Kevin was never given love, empathy or understanding only Casey and Dr Fletcher gave him that. I love this film and wish James had won an Oscar for it but I do understand why his portrayal of DID caused controversy because not all individuals with DID are violent and dangerous they create these identities because the majority with it have been horrifically abused just like Kevin and the identities each serve a purpose.

Dennis would remind Magneto of Kevin Bacon; it would end with a coin through the head

You ARE necessary

Nick Avila thank you!

You dont NEED others to compilment you. You are, what you believe you are!

@Roy G Biv i agree

@Roy G Biv i got out by swimming btw

The scene where he turns into the beast his eyes turn completley black like.hes blacking out having a psychotic episode...... my eyes change colors too when I get angry from blue to green

Nice. Glorifying such an ilness for a little fun. Very mature.

@@jlsg87 I don’t understand how that’s such a bad thing. It’s complementing

@@jlsg87 easy there snowflake

He acted 7.

@@Slechy_Lesh you beat me to it. it should be added though that in the sequel he played almost all 24 alters. Edit: he played 20.

@@Liravin Wow I gotta see that

Because it is real ....

@@chazzlucas6395 D.I.D is real yes and I have it but he doesn't have it

James McAvoy is fantastic.

and the actor who plays Kevin is literally Mr Tumnus from Narnia!! like WHAT

Not acting : (

The Academy didn’t know who to give the Award to… him or the Others 🤷‍♂️

James deserved an Oscar he was phenomenal!! DID is a fascinating topic, they done an a couple of episodes covering it in Criminal Minds and it wasn't as good as James McAvoy but it was a brilliant performance. James Van Der Beek played the UnSub with DID and he was pretty accurate too

Something you can catch on rewatch - when you see the "real" Barry later on, in the video on Kevin's computer, he's much more subdued than Dennis's impersonation of him. Dr. Fletcher knows the "real" Barry well enough to know that something's wrong, and she knows enough about the other alters to guess what's happened.

That train became the origin for 2 of the most powerful heroes.

I remember watching that movie in school

GOD BLESS YOU. FIND ME ON FACEBOOK AND MESSAGE ME. IF NOT, PRAY TO GOD FOR STRENGTH!

@@tomhibbert1210 Fuck GOD...if God existed you wouldn't have such shit existing in the first place and don't give me the bullshit that we are sinned or the devil or whatever fking excuse. If GOD is the almighty and everyone and thing is below his rules. Then he can jollywell make the fking rules to tell the devil or sinners or whatever the fk rationality you have to justify abuse and the results of it. Instead of bullshitting that suffering is not his fault or at least that's what the idiots that try to preach about him tell.

@@kaister901 you speak in such anger, why? what pain in your heart would fuel such a violent reaction

@@waross8214 Nah I just hate dumb people that's all. If you need an imaginary friend as a coping mechanism, just admit that. Instead of giving bullshit advice to people that need actual help. Sitting in a room and singing kumbaya isn't gonna do shit and anyone that says it did..probably are ignoring other factors that did do the job.

@@kaister901 see I hear what you're saying but the fact that your speaking with such ill contempt makes me feel like there's something deeper going on

#facts

Omg I'm not the only one that thinks this 😂💕

Yes i agree.

did you like it?

Probably from watching TV, neighbors, people he saw as a boy.

It would just be a feature length retelling of the abuse referenced in flashbacks and dialogue. You ever heard of the book “a child called it”? It would just be 2.5 hours of shit like that

@@Mikey-jv5fv I was hoping maybe more like Crazy Jane and the underground. Or a mix of his life and the other alters popping up

I'd rather not this movie already does a terrible job at portraying the mental illness.

@@sibs544 films arent made to portray mental illnesses but to entertain. They are fiction not a documentary. I know there are films made to educate people but it wasnt told it was the case of this film. It is just fiction for entertaining porpuses. Nobody should take a film as a guiance in real life
