The Village of Manoj Night Shyamalan

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2009)

It is as good as Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. It's a parable & it's great.It's a microcosm of life where we create rules within ourselves to protect us from vulnerability. Yet our nature is such that we are forced to seek truth , may be unknowingly, like the blind girl. What we know in the village is non-knowledge. Science is true knowledge,in this case the medicine. Yet the giving, receiving and using of medicine is shrouded in non-knowledge,though it might help Lucius Hunt. It shows how a cult takes shape. Here it is harmless but dangerous potential exists in such communities. If one looks into one's own mind one can see that we have our own "villages" hidden deep in in our own psyche.
