Brilliant, because is believable

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2006)

This movie is a must. Not only cause the performances are excellent, not only cause the script and direction are great but also because it makes you believe in Ghosts. The plot takes you to the patient doctor relation between: Bruce Willis (Dr. Malcolm Crowe) & Haley Joel Osment (Cole Sear), which is beautifully done. But nothing is what is seems. Cole is not just a crazy child, with a tuft family past: he sees ghosts; and nor his mother neither his doctor can't believe him. The process that takes place till Dr. Crowe realizes that the Kid is not telling lies is masterly developed: thrill, drama and the boy's explanation of the supernatural submerge the spectator into the history forcing the catharsis. The experienced viewer can resolve the ending before it happens, only if he is analyzing instead of enjoying and even though it thrills you. The movie's success relies on a seriously developed plot that considers actual life experience and its relation with the supernatural (understand as common things that can happen to anyone). This key factor is the reason why scary movies are great or just ridiculous entertainment, is what separates The Sixth Sense & The exorcist from Freddy and Jason for example.
