The Best Film of the Year So Far

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2002)

M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most important film makers
today and unlike many Hollywood movies, his films don't rely on
big special effects, blood, gore, and basically action to carry an
audience through a picture. Signs is handled in a mature and
thoughtful way, and neither the crop circles nor the creatures are
the point of the film. The movie asks an important question about
life that I'm sure most everyone has examined at some time or
another. Do things in our lives such as relationships or sickness
happen for a reason in which there is a meaning behind
everything? Or do things just happen by luck or accident?
Shyamalan isn't asking the viewer to just be entertained by his
film, he actually wants people to think about something.
