Introduction
On this day, Bruce Willis’ The Sixth Sense got released in Hollywood. We may call it Bruce Willis’ but this show was actually won by young actor Osment. He outperformed everyone with his skills in this movie. Let’s look at the key things of the movie…
Iconic dialogues from this movie
Cole Sear: I see people, they don’t know they are dead
Dr Malcolm Crowe: Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?
Dr Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them?
Cole Sear: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re dead.
Cole Sear: all the time, they are everywhere, they only see what they want to see
Dr Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them?
Cole Sear: All the time. They’re everywhere.
Critic Reviews
“Boasts a startling twist ending – a trope that isn’t a stranger to the genre, but one that writer/director M. Night Shyamalan uses perfectly.” Mike Massie
Plot Summary
Cole Sear is a young boy who is possessed by unholy spirits who visit him several times. Cole is terrified by that and goes to a child psychiatrist, Dr Malcolm Crowe, famous for helping people. As they both try to get into the root of this supernatural problem, they end up inviting serious and unexplainable troubles to their life.
Shining Acting of Osment and Willis
Haley Joel Osment complies, simple and clear. At this point, there are too many statements about the young actor, and most of them are repetitions and unambiguous. There is no doubt that his portrayal of Colsil is extraordinary. His ability to convey the depths of the character’s soul through simple expressions or gestures is exactly what this movie really needs. He did a great job in this task and convinced us not to go too far; in fact, when Cole said his now-famous lines, he not only believed him but also made the actor Osment himself believe it.
Willis is a psychiatrist in this film who is praised for helping troubled children. His role starts with him and his wife having a romantic evening at home. He then had an ugly and violent confrontation with a former patient. Willis believes he has failed. He wants to make up for it by helping a new child (Haley Joel Osmond), who seems to have encountered problems (perhaps the same as his previous patients). Skill) the same problem. But during his time with Cole, He messed up his relationship with his wife and their marriage seemed to be breaking down. His wife did not speak to him and started to look at the other man.
The Plot and Overall Idea of the film
The plot is very interesting, although sometimes you may want to know where it is going. The ending is the best part of the movie, it completely changes your initial view of the whole story. I applaud the “Sixth Sense” advertisers because they did not leave a surprise ending in the movie trailer (unlike “Double Danger”), and I certainly won’t reveal this in this review. But I would say this will completely surprise most of you. (I think a lot of people who say they saw it coming may be lying.)
The film has worked particularly hard to solve the problem of human communication. When this is broken, an inevitable cycle of interpersonal destruction will occur, sometimes irreversible. This is set in the context of a wonderfully told ghost story. The sheer authenticity and honesty of all characters expressing the concept of fear are impressive. Cole’s experience of the walking dead came out of nowhere, Malcolm’s fear of the deterioration of his marriage, and Cole’s mother’s fear of connecting with the pain of his own existence. All of this is staged against the backdrop of the often difficult but ultimately warm relationship between Cole and Malcolm. In the end, overcoming numerous difficulties, each character showed courage and bravery in the face of their existential and supernatural fears.
Conclusion
One thing for sure, I can say it confidently that not every horror movie is there to scare your pants off. Some go beyond the jumpscares to create deep and impactful stories. The Sixth sense is one of them.
