The definition of 'Re-watch Value'

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2019)

Straight to the point - this movie is definitely Shyamalan's magnum opus so far - it has everything that you need in a thriller - drama, suspense, emotional relation to all of the main characters, greatly written, amazingly produced - for me this is, no doubt, the movie of the decade (and I have stood behind those words for many years now).
I re-watched it again yesterday and it felt even more touching.
The character of the mother is presented in such a real and relatable way that hardly needs any description: she is a woman that takes care of her kid no matter what whilst taking the role of the father at the same time (presented in the way she calls to the parents of her boy's bullies and firmly telling them to keep them away from her son); nothing in her life really goes her way as she has to juggle between two jobs to take care of her small family and the constant school and social problems of her child; her character is presented in a very memorable way by a very expression-able actress, even coining some catchphrases like: "look at my face..." when she is about to say something really comforting - when you hear that you know that you can count on her to do everything that she can for you.
What distinguishes this movie from any generic one is the fact that every character that appears plays an actual role in it and goes through changes - even the teacher is presented in a real-life (psychologically correct) way - while in high school he was made fun of by his peers so he is quick to anger when Cole brings this to light. Near the end he is shown as an adult that has gotten through his anger phase in the past, now relates to the kid and is trying to help him by giving him the role as King Arthur in the play.
Bruce Willis' work needs no comment.
The boy who shot him in the beginning also played his role majestically with his delivery of lines being extremely memorable and hitting a weird and uncomfortable string that gets engraved into the memory of the viewer.
Overall - an amazing performance by the cast and great job of the director leading everything perfectly.
Knowing what you learn after the first viewing and keeping a constant eye for plot holes (which as far as I know don't even exist) during the re-watches definitely gives this movie a lot of value seeing again and again.
What amazes me is how well everything is sewn together - nothing goes well for the main characters, which you feel for, until the very end of the movie where everything seems to get better, which comes as a breath of fresh air after soooo much waiting and hoping.
In my book - one of the movies that I will always recommend to people, no matter what their movie taste usually is - one can not go wrong with watching 'The Sixth Sense'.
