The Sixth Sense

When they say that a masterpiece is one that envisages new meanings at different points in time, I always thought of it as a misnomer. Coz its not wot u see that has new meaning....its just that you, as a changed person tend to attach new "thinking"to it.

One of the things that "The Sixth Sense" did to me when I watched it the second time was that it proved that a work of art has a meaning that changes...with or without you.

Subtlety, simplicity, silence, steadiness and style with substance are what characterize the movie. Bruce Willis proves why he is considered so formidable. But the star of the show is the young kid "Cole" who is effortlessly real and endearing. Anger, frustration, fear, helplessness are emotions that the director personifies through Cole's facial expressions and body language. Shyamalan's concept blends into the extraordinarily engaging background score which is intercepted by well scripted dialogues.

The Sixth Sense came as a breath of fresh air when I was desperately looking for some in life. I watched it to break away from all the clutter in my head since it was a different theme. The movie did more than that. It was refreshing, revitalizing and an absolute treat for my sore, rusted brain.

Scene of the movie -
Cole - I'll tell you my secret
Malcolm - (nods)
Cole - I see dead people
Malcolm - In your dreams?
Cole - No
Malcolm - How often do you see them?
Cole - A.L.L T.H.E T.I.M.E
They're everywhere...walking around....
They dont know they're dead!!

The last line made more sense to me than it did earlier.....Strongly Recommend....Watch it!
