It's a brilliant emotional, scary, family movie.

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2011)

What a simply brilliant and well-made movie is "Signs" by Manoj Night Shyamalan. The ingenious ideas of linking the whole movie with aliens, coincidences, the existence of a supreme power, the ever wavering human mind and how events change a person for good or bad
Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors I have seen And the script has been so well written that it suits perfectly for a person like him. The super caring and concerned Father who is going through a personal misery. And the two kids have played their parts brilliantly too. Especially the little girl is really cute. And the brother has played his part really well. Everyone has played their parts so well that the movie feels so real.
The movie's script has been really well thought. The way the things are linked right from the beginning till the very end. Including the brain nerves of Mel's wife going all crazy and recollecting "Swing away" and Mel thinking about his wife all though the movie resulting in the outstanding climax that suits this movie perfectly. The boy having asthma and the aliens secreting small amounts of poison. This movie is quite simply made of coincidences and has been put forth brilliantly. And the very simple fact that they hardly even show the Alien, is the best part. One of the many concepts of crop circles being for navigation and they are for forming maps . The aliens using only hand to hand combat as they know that humans would eventually use nuclear weapons making the planet useless . Shows how well the movie has been made. The dialogs have been so well written. Touching , really sensible & perfectly written in context. Yes there are some clichés here and there that cannot be avoided while making a movie.
When the family decides to vote as to what they want to do there one, Mel Gibson says, "my vote counts as two cos I represent two parents"... Typical parent behavior
It's a brilliant emotional, scary, family movie...
