A wonderful horror movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2001)

I've already seen Los Otros (the title here in Spain) twice and I recommend to do the same to the people who enjoyed it the first time. I love this film. I've appreciated the details, the development of the script, the real thoughts of the characters. Please see the face of Fionnula Flanagan: she's obviously thinking on another things (the true secret of the others and themselves) when she talks. Also, is the daughter telling the truth or a lie? This film doesn't tell a story like another films do. This film is giving us information about the past life of the characters from the beginning to the end. It's a discovery movie. It has got the most perfect scares I've seen in a movie in years. It's full of suspense too. Amenábar is a very clever guy. And the best of all: he's young!, he can do a lot of masterpieces like this in the following decades. We the Spanish are very proud of him.
The end is not only original, is wonderful too, plenty of humanity. I've cried with the final family hug, when they find all out. It's a very beautiful story about a family. Can you see? Crying in a scary movie! Because of that this is a very different film. Finally, the cast is simply perfect. Can a woman be so beautiful? (I'm talking about Nicole Kidman). Can a laugh be so innocent and frightening? (I'm talking about the daughter). A note: this script is previous to The Sixth Sense.
The Others will be remembered for a long time among the people in the world and will be studied at cinema schools.
