The Sixth Sense

[jamnolfin]

I just watched that movie again for the 1st time in years. I had forgotten just how great that movie is, it's perfect. Great story with a very sophisticated story line, just a unique aproach to telling the story. Haley Joel Osment is outstanding. His mother, Bruce Willis. Sometimes everything comes together and works perfect. M.Night Shamalyan (?) hit gold

Those scenes where he sees the beaten lady cooking and the boy with the gunshot head wound still give me chills.

Actually I just saw Haley Joel Osmont as "Slow Joey" on Comedy Bang Bang and man does he look like %*^#. I couldn't quickly find something from that but check this out.

The unique way that M. Night used the color red throughout the movie added even more to the intrigue as the movie played out. Great stuff! Dang, now I'm going to have to watch it Jam, haha!

Did she get those sweats out of a dumpster?

That's a fantastic movie. My wife is in the Psychology masters program at FSU. She needed a scene to use in a class to show psychology in cinema. I found the scene when he first meets Bruce Willis. It is a perfect scene playing a game with a child to gain his trust. Actually it was a classic representation of how child psychology is practiced. She presented it and it lead to a great discussion in class. Of course she got an A.

I loved the movie but some of it doesnt hold water.
Willis would have known he was dead long before he did based solely on the fact that he was sitting in the house having a "conversation" with the mom waiting for the kid to come home. She obviously doesn't respond to him, so how does he rectify that?
Still a very good movie but it does take something away from the twist at the end.

When the movie came out, a bunch of my friends saw it early. One guy in our group hadn't see it.
Someone goes:
Friend 1: "Knock knock"
Friend 2: "who's there?"
F1: "Bruce Willis"
F2: "Bruce Willis who?"
F1: "Bruce Willis is dead in The Sixth Sense"

Rest of the group gasped and about pooped our pants lol

It's been 15+ years since I've seen it, but in that scene, doesn't Bruce Willis think she is mad at him for being late or something? Essentially I think he wrote it off as she was giving him the cold shoulder.

So she literally doesnt even acknowledge that he is in the room and they sit there in complete silence for however long?

I think it's analogous to when you're dreaming. You don't know you're in a dream, and some weird crap can go down in your dreams that sure as heck doesn't follow normal situations in reality.

Loved the movie, but M. Night Shamalamdingdong's movies have gone to crap since. In fact, after The Happening, I swore I'd never see another one of his movies, and I've stuck to it.

Unbreakable is his best film. 6th Sense his best mainstream film and The Village was solid.

This wasn't a problem to me--- remember what the kid said: the ghosts (dead) see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe (paraphrasing). Willis was dead so he probably doesn't think anything of it. I mean how did he get into the house in the first place without the kid there to let him in? He's dead-- he's not thinking as we would. He just doesn't know it....
