A Good Movie Experience with a Difference

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2005)

I first saw this movie in a pirated CD and later on TV channels. I have to warn you, on each viewing this film will make everyone to "FALL in LOVE" with the Story!
Signs(Spoilers******)
Indian born director M. Night Shyamalan takes his next boogie venture this time his story revolves round the strange circles appears on the corn fields. Ex-Rev. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) is now interested on agriculture after his wife died on a car accident. Giving up his belief on God, Graham is living a new life with his two children and his brother (Joaquin Phoenix). One day he finds some strange circles on his crop fields, soon realizing that it's some kind of Alien signs. Why such signs appear on his field, does it have any thing to do with his past days?
Scripted by M. Night Shyamalan himself tells the thrilling story of Aliens intrusion with a backdrop of strange crop signs. As always Shyamalan movies have something to say, it also gives messages like all Things Happens For Good, Believe in God. Mel Gibson was tremendous in portraying the torched family man. Gladiator-Joaquin Phoenix did an outstanding performance as Gibson's younger brother, whenever he was on screen the viewers get some relief, he was best in creating a pleasant atmosphere in an art movie. Plus the other person who steal the show was little girl Abigail Breslin, she was a an angel in the movie, but the boy Rory Culkin sucked his part by portraying a Too serious 10 year old.
The camera works were good also the masterful editing. Credit goes to works of Tak Fujimoto and Barbara Tuliver. Last but not least the soul for Signs created by James Newton Howard makes this movie a cult classical one. Such a thrilling hunting Disturbing score that pushes Suspense and Pace in a well balanced way is totally unique.
Watch this movie for a peaceful time of Horror. It's not disturbing, it's just feels good if you have enough sense to think.
" I give this movie 8 out of 10 "
Signs = Simply An Intelligent Movie
