To all those who are complaining you did not get it

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2002)

Read this comment only if you have seen the movie and want a further understanding of its greatness:
I feel so bad for M. Night if he is reading all of these comments downplaying the movie because the general audience just did not comprehend it. Here is the big spoiler... the whole thing is a dream. Notice the snow at the beginning and the end that was not a part of the major plot. There were the day/night contrasts popping up everywhere- the moon metal ring hanging from the barn during the day and sun shining the stars in the boards on there way up form the cellar. And the fact that little Bo Hess mentioned that it was a dream at least three times. She says to Mel Gibson "you are in this dream too?" and Mel replies "No, this isn't a..." He was interrupted by the view of the large crop circle in the field that overshadowed this crucial comment and redirected the audience's attention just like they did the entire movie.
I give a lot of credit to M. Night for keeping his mouth shut and hiding this hidden plot real well. The twist that everyone says the story was missing came early and was reaffirmed by the snow at then end. M. Night was not going to end the movie with Mel waking up, that would infuriate the audience. Therefore, he showed the dreams outcome instead. I apologize to Mr. Shyamalan for the audience not figuring out this brilliant piece of work, I do now expect after those less savvy IMDB users read this and fully understand the movie they will go back and see the movie in awe of this filmmaking genius and change their votes and their comments. I give Signs at 10/10 and look forward to M. Night's next masterpiece.
