Great Movies

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2004)

As far as I'm concerned, those of you who didn't like the movie are trying to see it for what was on the surface, and those of us who liked the movie, are seeing it how M Shyamalan intended. I think he is an exceptional story tellerhis movies appear at first to be simple plots consisting of aliens, ghosts, monsters...but those are entertaining cover ups to his wonderfully thought out plots which explore a range human emotion and relationships, as well as basic paradoxes and clichés- good vs evil, fate vs coincidence. His character development is just amazing, of course it doesn't hurt that he casts great actors. Basically, you can take it for what you see, or you can invest a little time(and by time, I don't mean arguing about why the aliens didn't know water hurt them and the composition of the human body) and see his movies for what they really are - compelling investigations into human nature, relationships and what drives us.
