Shyamalan is one ignorant person

Rating: 4/10 (23 September 2002)

If he thinks that's how and why people become atheists anyway. I think the man is shaping up to be a great director. His two previous efforts rank among my favorite movies ever. But I couldn't help but be offended by Signs.
Visually, the movie is stunning. Very suspenseful as well, and in that respect I applaud Shyamalan's work. He's the next Alfred Hitchcock. But I just couldn't get past the religious BS this movie is riddled with.
Someday, someone's going to write an intelligent script about a character losing their faith, and nobody's ever going to see it made into a film because from the tripe we've seen in recent years (ie. Bless the Child, End of Days, etc.), filmmakers believe us godless heathens could never be heroes. Everybody triumphs in the end if they just have faith. Excuse me, I need a barf bag.
