I See A Great Film
The movie The Sixth Sense was written by the upcoming, outstanding director and writer M. Night Shyamalan. This movie is considered to be his first breakout hit in the box office. This movie is about a child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe, played by Bruce Willis who is treating a young boy with the gift of a 'Sixth Sense.' Dr. Malcolm Crowe specializes in children and extremely mentally troubled children. The movie starts out with Dr. Crowe and his wife in their house and a burglar enters. The burglar is a former client of Dr. Crowe. After many confrontations back and forth between Dr. Crowe and his former patient, Dr. Crowe is shot. The movie picks up months later down the line. Dr. Crowe starts helping the young man with the 'sixth sense,' Cole Sear played by Haley Joel Osment. After many sessions with Dr. Crowe, the young Sear reveals his horrible secret: 'I See Dead People.' This movie has many twists and turns that will keep the spectators on the edge of their seat.
The critical intention of this movie is used to explain to the spectators that we really don't know what is out there in the world we live in. How does the spectator know that there aren't people in the world who have extra senses like this one? If someone told another person about a sense like this, most likely that person would be sent to a mental institution and never heard of again. The critical intention is telling us to keep our eyes and ears and every other sense we have open to different situations in this world we live in.
The critical technique of the Sixth Sense was used in almost every frame of the movie. In this movie when a character gets very cold or we can see his or her breath because its cold, a ghost is about to appear. Also every time a ghost is in frame, the color red is somewhere in the frame to be seen. I haven't exactly found out why some of the character's hair in this movie has blond streaks in them. I'm sure it serves some purpose though.
