The Perfect Example of Why I Love Movies!

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2002)

Words cannot describe how much I loved this movie.
Take a moment to forget about analyzing the suspense, acting, directing, writing, editing, and entertainment this movie has to offer, and simply ask yourself if it is possible for you to be touched by a movie in an emotional or spiritual way.
If it is not possible, then feel free to go back to over-analyzing and hunched over your ego in search for so-called "holes" in movies that do not match-up with your own limited perception of reality.
But if it is possible for movies to mean more to you than mere chopping blocks for editing and plot analysis, then I would highly recommend this movie to you.
Oh, and by the way, the suspense, acting, directing, writing, editing, and pure entertainment in this movie is top notch. Combined with the message in the movie and the emotions I felt during and after the movie, "Signs" delivers the full package. It has everything. It is as close to perfection as I have seen in a movie my whole life. It is my new favorite movie of all-time!
I liken this movie to a parable. The message behind the story in a parable is much more important and focused on than whether the story is realistic. Many people choose to look at this movie and compare what happens to the way they view reality. YOU MISS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE MOVIE IF YOU DO THAT!
The point of this movie is that you have the opportunity to watch how this particular family responds to a major crisis. It tackles the issue of possibly losing the most precious thing in the whole world...Faith!
Enjoy this movie if you can. I feel sorry for you if you cannot.
