Another piece of art

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2004)

Now what did they expect from a movie made by M.Night Shyamalan? Something straight...no way. When I watched "The Village" I was ready for it, ready for this great director and his very special way of creating movies. When I first watched "SIGNS", i did not like it, because of my expectations. I expected something big, something outstanding and the entire movie was in such a small location. No spaceships, no ray-guns...and weird looking aliens. But somehow I realized that there was more to "SIGNS" than what disappointed by and when I watched it later on on DVD, it was a great movie with so much depth and feeling. It was ... intense. And that is exactly where I started getting ready for the village: I was expecting something intense and this was exactly what I got. A beautifully shot movie with very well developed and acted characters and a story, revealing and shocking. I will give no spoilers. When you enter "The Village" you should do exactly that. Enter it. Be a part of it to get to feel what the inhabitants feel. Then, I promise, you will see probably the best movie this year has to offer.
