Full of signs...

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2002)

I' start by saying that i enjoyed Sixth Sense (actually its ending saved it a lot), and even more Unbreakable (it talked to me in deeper way, and i am not even sure why i liked it so much).
Now about SIGNS, although i didn't enjoy it that much, i am sure a second view to it would pay off more. (MINOR SPOILERS) Many people critisized it heavily about the water-feared aliens and wondered how could that movie be so full of "stupid" and unrealistic ideas.
I'll answer with a question...
Didn't anybody see the "stars and moons" holes on the door and windows at the ending? Would a violent, and most of all, REAL alien try to do such a thing?
Maybe the arrow-like signs just targeted the troubled homes, the ones that needed "God's help".
As the movie said "the are 2 kinds of people, those who get it and those who don't". The aliens WERE the miracle.
The thing that actually distracted me from loving the film, was the strong efforts of the director to show-off his directing skills. He made that so obvious, that most of the people were wrongly agreed that it had great camerawork. For me great camerawork is the one that makes you feel inside the movie and not leaving you thinking "nice shooting angle" when you watch it. Same thing for soundtracks.
In other words and always according to my personal opinion most people got it completely opposite.. It had great story, but too pretentious directing.
