Abstract
The work of writer and director Manoj Night Shyamalan reveals a main contribution to the consolidation of adventure fantasy as a filmic genre. This director is characterized by the use of a master plot where the proper exploration of the ordinary in adventure reveals a world transfixed by the hidden wonderful dimension. And at a time, the explorer character rediscovers his/her identity. This article studies the narrative universes created by Shyamalan in his four main fantasy adventure screenplays, where the director reflects personal convictions about life from the perspective of fairy tales. This is also a creative sign that can be perceived as an influence from Steven Spielberg, an acknowledged reference to Shyamalan at the beginning of his career.
