(Contains Unmentioned Referenced Plot Twists) Predictable In Terms of Plot, Indescribably Elegant In Terms Of Everything That Actually Matters

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

Even though, yes, the plot twists aren't as buried or hidden away as far as his previous films, Shyamalan seems to be more involved in things that last with people long after the twists have worn over. These elements include character development, ethical debauchery and tone/imagery conduction. It seems as though M.Night (throughout his so-far short carer) has been dabbing into his colourful palate of emotions each movie unlocking more colours. Yes, I had guessed the Huge plot twist (What we discover after ivy comes upon th end of the woods, involving an expected low key cameo by the mastermind) months beforehand, but it was just one of many guesses I had come across. Does anyone here come to his films specifically to solely experience the cheap thrill of the ending? For those who bought his DVD (or the ever so decline of VHS)do you just skip to his last scene and call it a night? I hope not. I watch his films for the unreal scenes he sets up and in this film he has pulled off a little more than what I had gone into the movie expecting. Some of the imagery is so haunting and beautiful at the same time. ...so for those "nay-sayers" of his current theatrical release, watch it again so that you wont expect anything more than what you have seen maybe you will come out with more than you did the first time.
P.S. Excuse my poor review approach to this film, it is my first post. As well I will open up a message board topic for what I had discussed for those on the same line as I.
