The best movie I've seen this year

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2001)

"The Others" is, by far, the best movie I've seen this year, and I haven't seen a lot of good movies this year. "Traffic" was awesome, "Pearl Harbor" was good... but "The Others" is the best. I usually go to the movies with my mind packed with everything about the movie I'm about to see. But this didn't happen to me with "The Others". I didn't even know who was in it!!! A friend told me: "It seems to be nice, Nicole Kidman is in it". Well, I gave it a try, and I thank my friend for the tip. It scared me since the very beginning (you'll know why), it captured my attention since the first minute and it didn't let me go. It doesn't, actually. It's still stuck in my head. By the way, I've seen it twice.
I'm not telling what the movie is about, you can find that in the plot summary link. I'm just telling you my comments about it, and my comment is, as I said it earlier, you should give it a try. Don't go to see it with the idea of watching "The Sixth Sense Part II", both movies are different. Don't go with the idea of trying to discover how it's going to end (to my point of view, you'll never find it out). Just go with the idea of getting into it, feel the atmosphere and have a great time. The spooky elements (it's not predictable as you may think), the great acting (the kids and the housemaid are superb in their acting, Oscar material, definitely), a great direction, a smooth photography and the ending sequence (which left all the audience shut) will do the rest. Go see it twice.
