I see dead people....

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2017)

The Sixth Sense was M. Night Shyamalan's first directorial debut to the wide open of his career to an extension which has now become shameless regarding the outcome of the films that are usually involved in the genre of action and heavy blockbuster which clearly isn't the precise type of films to write and direct. Nowadays, M. Night Shyamalan's name has become a joke by ruining a famous cartoon Avatar or The Last Airbender in an attempt in making a live action which was a major failure. Addition, after 3 years he has both written and directed a film called After Earth which was a very mediocre-ish bland, dull, and especially a pointlessly boring action flick. However, retracing the films of M. Night's early years of his career it seems in a way that is completely in the opposite of the position that is held by him these days.
The Sixth Sense follows a tale of a very young 9-year-old child who is extraordinarily different compared to the fellow kids around his age. When adults think of 9-year-old kids, they are exceedingly cute, and just wanna squeeze their cheeks. However, Cole (Haley Joel Osment) in this film the main protagonist is explicitly the opposite. He is unusually well educated according to the fact that he has no father at home and him only family member he has obtained is his mother named Lynn Sear (Toni Collette). Cole has an extraordinary talent in which he can communicate with ghosts, dead people and he is continually threatened by the unheated beings who he considers wants to drag him to the dread tension and harsh conditions of his life. While he may not be solely correct. In fact, he says "I see dead people, they want me to do things for themÂ…" which may lead to a supportive help to a young girl who has passed out from the outcome from his mother as she poisoned her all the way and this shocking event has been leaked to the father of the dead girl.
Aside from the interesting and original plot, the performances are peril excellent. Especially, Cole played by Haley Joel Osment gives one of the best young child performances in cinema history. The role in this film is deeply different regarding other child roles, which requires a subtle, thoughtful, and an immense dramatical act. Haley Joel Osment is fully engaged within the character as he is phenomenal and proves himself to be the most talented child actor from his age group. He has been nominated for an Oscar which is fabulously arduous for most actors and especially the ones from his young age. He is by far the most considerable best aspect of this film that elevates it's heightened of the creation more further. Toni Collette is very realistic and relinquishes a very convincing act of the mother of the threatened son Cole.
The story continues as Cole gets/seeks help from a disheartened child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis). Dr. Malcolm Crowe is a sad character who is disheartened by the loss of his wife's caring and love from an incident that happened a few months in which a patient of his previous years visits his estate, and shoots Malcolm a serious one shot through his body which still remains the separation of himself and his wife. It remains a big wound striking his heart and emotions. As he takes on an assignment to help this young child, he assumes the relationship with his wife will improve. Before Bruce Willis's attempt on fetching this role, he was regarded as an action star. People in 1999 though this type of subtle, quiet and passionate role would not fit his vital character. As a result, this stereotype was broken as he committed fully to this quiet, caring, loving role as a child psychiatrist. He is marvelous and astonishingly well acted in terms of this type of role as he was famous for absurd, loud cursing characters. As a fact, he has been supportive to Shyamalan in taking this role seriously as it makes the finest performance within Bruce Willis's career of acting.
The Sixth Sense is utterly and terrific in the cause of the shocking ending twist added into the film. This film is also well known and praised in terms of the extra addition of the fabulous unpredictable twist that reshapes the understanding of the film as it recalls for repetitive viewings. Personally, I definitely agree as a fact it does not exceedingly cheat its own rules that were set up, and immensely reveals it sudden and quiet making it inspirational and well thought- out. Originally, the screenplay of The Sixth Sense was sold for $ 100 million around Hollywood. Unlike other Shyamalan films, this film is doubtlessly his best work throughout his whole career and a very clever and unquestionably genius filmmaking. The Sixth Sense is one of the most inspirational and a masterpiece of our decade that is precisely original and creates subtle, shocking and peril tension that makes the audiences grip to sweat and tears. This film does have the horror elements but it is more of a light-hearted, quiet drama surrounding the two main protagonists Cole and Malcolm. Lots of meanings expressed by colors and lots of themes to discover and to be analyzed. This is an undoubtedly pure genius filmmaking and the finest work of Shyamalan.
Grade: A+
