History Awesome / Split

!!Film:

* The TwistEnding. It reveals ''Split'' is set in the same universe as ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'', with [[Creator/BruceWillis David Dunn]] showing up, well decided to deal with the threat Kevin poses.
** Even more awesome is just how subtly the scene plays out: Kevin's crimes are now national news and playing in a cafe. A patron is suddenly reminded of Glass' domestic terrorism, and, suddenly, there's David Dunn. The shot focuses on David, simply drinking his coffee. No heroic declarations or one-liners are uttered, but you can ''feel'' David's intentions radiating off him through the silent, determined expression he wears. The movie then cuts to black as a quiet piano rendition of the ''Unbreakable'' motif plays over the darkness. After all these years, ''[[HesBack David Dunn has returned.]]'' [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken "What a twist" indeed]].

* Kudos to Creator/JamesMcAvoy: his performance as Kevin and his personalities is ''amazing'' to the point that just the ''facial expressions'' are enough to guess which personality is in control. The ''big'' ones are when he has to cycle through several of his personalities one right after another. It's eventually revealed that one alter, Barry, is being impersonated by the others, and you suddenly catch moments where "Barry" seems to have a slight lisp like Hedwig or [[SpottingTheThread adjusting items]] like the SuperOCD Dennis.
* Also kudos to Creator/MNightShyamalan, as the movie has not only delivered both critical and financial acclaim but some critics also felt that ''Split'' was M. Night revisiting his roots by going back to what made him an acclaimed director. Very much a CareerResurrection.
* The movie has grossed almost ''31 times'' its $9 million budget. It ended up the second most profitable movie of 2017 behind another Creator/{{Blumhouse production|s}}, ''Film/GetOut2017''.

* When [[spoiler: The Beast comes after Ms. Fletcher, she ''stabs it''. It doesn't work, but it's damn brave.]]
* [[spoiler: Casey shooting The Beast is a moment for both. With her last shells, she hits The Beast... and The Beast rises, absolutely maniacal, and walks the shots off.]]

** [[spoiler: Even more awesome is just how regular and subtle the scene plays out: Kevin's crimes are now the news and playing in a cafe and lady is reminded of Glasses terroristic actions and David reminds her. The shot then focuses on David with the music playing he doesn't say anything heroic are doesn't end the move with a catchy liner and just continues drinking his coffee. From this shot and remebering David from the Unbreakable you know two things: David knows about Kevin and his crimes and he is going to put a stop to them.]]
