All I can say is Love..

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2004)

I enjoy the way Shayamalan always does a predefined rhetorical story-line to express plot synthesis. Most people build on a unique idea, as in theory ideas are in essence the force that has shaped events and destinies. In "The Village" the main underlying ideology is in fact "Love".
A love so profound in conquers all disabilities and obstacles that render impassable. The movie has us imagining the passion that wields between the two protagonist as endearing and insurmountable. Stepping back we are brought into Shayamalan's fantasy of moulding the entire scenes and exploits into one gigantic display of affection and tenderness..even the colour red, a well known symbol of love, continuously inhabits the movie overlay. (There were even some scenes in the movie where I imagined even the dead wood rising up to protect and conceal within the forest).
I have observe most movie patrons comment on twists and turns, but I feel that in every movie there is an idea to it which is carefully developed and articulated..this movie brought out that theme righteously.
[Danger: Spoilers] I do not think that a commune hidden away so mysteriously in a modern era is in itself realistic. Every grown up man or woman there should be aware of the "secret",not only the village council members...
