About real people dealing with the unreal,an incredible movie!

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2001)

If you like the fantastic genre this is your movie. If you like a sense of reality this is also your movie. A lot of people are saying that they hate this movie because of the slow pacing....this is intended as the director wants us to identify with the characters and the situations that they're living. This movie belongs to the fantastic genre but for Shyamalan this doesn't mean that the characters and the environment where they find themselves need to be unreal....for him is most important to build a background so u can care about what is happening to them and what is gonna happen to them. The Sixth Sense was also a movie in this style and people love it....it was a slow pacing movie, a drama, and a movie dealing with the fantastic. I think this movie is a great work of filmmaking....the music,the cinematography,the camera work and the performances work in harmony together to give an incredible mood. Bruce Willis is outstanding as a man that feels his life has no appeal....Samuel L. Jackson is amazing as an enigmatic character looking for the truth....and Robin Wright Penn does a great job as Willis' wife....but u feel that her character should have been given more time in screen. A must see! 8.5 out of 10.
