One of the most inspirational movies of our time

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2006)

I happened to be in a video store the other day, and was in line behind a couple of girls who were discussing scary movies. The movie "Signs" was mentioned, and they both chimed up about the fact that the movie did not scare them, and was a terrible horror movie. If they were to have watched it with more of an open mind, however, they would realize that the movie did not have the intention to scare viewers. As with all of M. Night's movies, they strive to draw you in, and once he has your full attention, show you something that will make you stop and realize that what you are watching is not just another movie.
M. Night Shamalyn succeeds on so many levels.
The movie is not about an alien invasion...it is about a family's love for one another, and the fact that those who maintain blind faith in God will shine brighter than others.
Everything happens for a reason. Whether it is Graham's wife dying, Merrill holding the strikeout record, Bo's obsession for clean water, or Morgan's asthma. It will all tie in at the end and show you something so beautiful that will make you think and wonder for many days after the end credits.
I give this movie a 10...simply because it is one of the best displays of talent I have ever witnessed, and only hope that M.Night Shamalyn continues to make masterpieces.
