The Sixth Sense

I honestly have no idea why I haven’t seen this movie before now…haha. I had always heard about it…it’s the movie that brought about the ever famous line “I see dead people” But I, for whatever reason, had always passed it off as a typical horror movie. You know, scary ghosts, spirits all that kinda stuff. But I definitely had NO idea that it would be as good as it was…in comparison to what I expected.
We start off with this child psychologist, played by Bruce Willis, and he is visited by an old patient in his home…The patient is extremely frustrated and claims that he didn’t help him at all. Eventually his anger escalades and he shoots at the doctor. A few months later, Willis has another patient…one that reminds him an awful lot of the other one that he couldn’t help.
Because of that fact, Willis has a special place for this kid, and really wants to help him.
Eventually, after earning the kids trust, the kid tells him that he sees and talks with people who are dead…but don’t always know that they’re dead. He starts helping the kid to actually communicate with these ghosts…and the child ends up helping them, so they stop hurting him.
The acting was very well done. That kid! I love that kid :P After seeing him in Pay It Forward I think he is absolutely adorable. A pretty good crier too.
Bruce Willis was decent too.
The ending was one to definitely remember…and its definitely going to be a movie that I watch again. Similar to a Lost episode…you get to the end of the movie and you try and desperately recall what you’ve just seen…almost searching for ways to prove the ending wrong…or find a slip up.
How they pulled off that ending without me suspecting…I have no idea. I did figure out the “twist” about five/ten minutes ahead of when you typically figure out what’s going on…but it honestly surprised me.
The general plot wasn’t extensive…but it was very entertaining…and it was very well done (:
