Truly one of the very best movies I've ever seen so far

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 1999)

Well, where should I start talking about this movie? Before I saw it, I've heard so many positive things about it, especially its surprising twist at the ending. So, then I thought that this must be a must-see film, and I decided to go and see it on the first day it was released in Australia. It was so unbelievably packed in the cinemas that almost every session was sold out on that day, and I truly had some difficulty in buying the tickets. And, the most important thing, after watching it, I was truly amazed and absolutely impressed by the movie. Brilliant original idea and marvellous performance by its actors, everyone who worked on this movie must be very proud of it. Little wonder, it has brilliant script, supported by extraordinary performances and it makes every actor in it look extremely good, especially Haley Joel Osment, Bruce Willis and Toni Collete, the leading actors...... So far, I have seen it three times, and I will be definitely going back again to watch it. The second and third time around were even better, although the surprising ending part was no longer a big surprise anymore, but really, the ending is truly the one to die for. Each time I watched it, I was truly touched by the ending and my tears just nearly burst out...... Enough said, definitely go and see this movie.... This movie will really touch your heart, even though it might not be the scariest movie you've ever seen....But without the help of any special effect, this movie does a very good job in scaring everyone out of the seats (just compare it with THE HAUNTING, it makes THE HAUNTING look like an absolute joke).... One more thing, if it doesn't get any Oscar nomination next year which I think it deserves much (Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Script), it will be a huge tragedy for the film industry....... Reason? Because this is simply one of the best films of the year
