Talk:Signs (film)

message: I deleted a large chunk of the "Criticisms" section, because it looked like a debate, not actual criticisms, and was mostly filled with defences against the criticism(s). "People criticize this," "Others counter with this," "Which is countered with this," is fine to do, just not in the article. Capitan Obvio 08:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: After the night locked in the basement, they awake and have a radio working. Merrill explains that the radio said they "weren't there for the planet" but just to "harvest".  This could mean harvesting supplies, harvesting humans for food, or taking slaves. Since the aliens seemed to be portrayed as a direct threat to humans and "a lot of people died" one would think the harvesting supplies option unlikely. Harvesting humans for food seems unlikely due to the extremely different psysiology of the aliens, which would probably not be able to digest human tissue. Slave labor seems the most likely to me. This would be yet another reason that technology wouldn't be used (they don't want to kill ALL of them at least, and they don't want to have it fall into human hands so humans don't get any tech for their next visit in who-knows-how-long). Bizarre cultural or psychological reasons are also good (and a great part of the mystique of the aliens is not being able to figure out why they do what they do IMO).

thread_title:  Criticisms 

message: I removed the "hidden message" section as I watched the movie yesterday to find it.  The "holes" "punctured in the house" were actually from the roof of a swing set.  I would guess that the character used this roof as one of the boards to seal up the house, not that the aliens were "spying" on them early on in the film.  I think it was just one person's opinion, and this person even said: "This has never been mentioned or explained." which is another way of saying that he/she has no reference to back this theory up.

thread_title: Hidden messages

message: I seem to recall reading or hearing somewhere that the stories Graham tells Morgan and Bo about their births were about the births of Night's own children. Fact or fiction? Morhange 06:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia: The Kids Births 

message: Hey I noticed that the spoiler warning here is in the plot.  After looking at Wikipedia: Spoiler_warning and Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines#plot I'm going to remove it from that section. If you have any objections reply below or let me know on my talk page.  Thanks! Jussen 22:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Spoiler Warning

message: Why is the header so long? Other Shyamalan movies have much shorter ones, the kind you usually see on Wikipedia. Only important films like Star Wars Episode IV and The Birth of a Nation need headers of this length. --Serpinium (talk) 05:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
