Within The Sixth Sense, desperate prayers and horrific cries are contrasted with numerous explosions of the color red, as if the hue propels an individual's fear into a solitary state of agony and sorrow. Toy soldiers play war in the confines of a cathedral, and even when surrounded by images of God and his influence, the past continues to creep in and take shape. Manifestations aren't only rooted in the past. In essence, they're beckoning specters birthed in tangible anguish. Darkness upon darkness, bathed in infinite nothing. Seeking God is associated with a sense of comfort, but what about those who seek the haunted?
Running to the red doors won't help. They've already been there.
What a twist!!!! The fact that Cole grows up to be Alex Wolff living with his mom Toni Collette. Crazy
Blending the emotional depth of a heartfelt story with the chilling vibes of a modern horror, The Sixth Sense is M Night Shayamalan's breakthrough feature film that's patiently crafted, skilfully narrated & efficiently performed and still remains his finest directional effort to date. Noted for its foreboding atmosphere, brilliant use of visual motifs & that final masterstroke, it's an excellent example of quality storytelling.
Set in Philadelphia, the story of The Sixth Sense follows a child psychologist who is shot by one of his former patients on the day he was honoured for his work. The plot then jumps to next fall where we see him clearly affected by the whole incident as he takes on a new case of a 9-year…
It's easy to make this film be about the twist.
Or the fact that there are so many cleverly hidden clues.
Let's not talk about that.
Let's talk about the fact that this is one of the most beautifully constructed and deftly told ghost stories ever made.
I am convinced that Shyamalan is more a storyteller than a director. With this film, which basically put him on the map, he shows that he knows, loves and understands storytelling. It is a shame that along the way, with his later efforts, he seems to have convinced himself that he is a great director as well. It seems that the bigger the budget, the more apparent his flaws become.
This is absolutely…
Film #1 of Gustav's M.National Shyamalan-a-thon.
The film which declared the arrival of Night. Sixth Sense single-handedly raised him to stardom and had all of Hollywood raving. The New Week magazine even went the lengths and termed him The Next Spielberg. I just wonder how glad he must have felt, with only his third film, he was being compared to his childhood hero and his reason of getting into films. It must have been an incredibly proud moment and a one he would cherish no matter to what heights life and his films take him to.
This was my third viewing of Shyamalan’s third feature. Any film with a good, powerful, intelligently disguised and a credible twist will without doubt…
You have to admire any film which forces you to have to see it at least twice - with a completely different experience both times. Sure, more than twice (and age, legacy/parody) perhaps gives diminishing returns. But this really was a game changer. Willis gives a delicate performance. Alongside Twelve Monkeys he was on a great run of form. Pity he can't find more roles like this. Or perhaps the motivation.
That film you've heard about and know there's a plot twist... M. Night you're up and down like a yo yo
Why is this so good why is Haley Joel Osment amazing I forgot how good this movie is
This movie is beautiful with its use of colour, also a great entry level scary movie if you hate horrors.
I saw this movie with 5 people who hadn’t had the movie spoiled for them and it was THE BEST
