"But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on"
About this Quote
The repetition of hedges - “recently,” “strange,” “I didn’t mind it,” “some interesting things” - reads like someone managing social risk. In entertainment culture, strong takes harden into headlines. Winter keeps it porous. “I didn’t mind it” is especially telling: it’s faint praise, but also a refusal to play the binary game of masterpiece vs. disaster. That understatement becomes the subtext: the movie’s value isn’t in immediate pleasure, it’s in the oddness that lingers.
“And it’s got some interesting things going on” is the actor’s way of saying, “I see the choices.” He’s responding to craft and intention - tone, structure, performance - rather than plot. The specific intent feels less like reviewing and more like signaling taste: open to weird swings, skeptical of hype, attentive to the mechanics. It’s a modest line that smuggles in a cultural stance: in an era that demands definitive rankings, he’s defending the middle category of art that’s imperfect, intriguing, and worth thinking about anyway.
