Mr. Night Shyamalan, as the Writer/Director
gives us one of the best ghost stories ever. Produced by: Frank

Willis, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams, and Haley
Joel Osment.

Synopsis: A "distinguished,"
child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe, takes the case of Cole Sear, a
sad, depressed, confused and frightened 8 year old, that Dr. Crowe at
first thinks is suffering a lot from his parent's divorce, and his father's
abandonment of him.
As the therapy continues Dr. Crowe
not only helps Cole with these obvious surface problems, but also discovers
what is really terrorizing Cole, the truth that Dr. Crowe finds himself
completely unprepared to handle at first. In the end, the discovery of
Cole's incredible 6th sense "leads them both to mysterious and unforeseeable
consequences."
This film is described as a "most
involving, intelligent psychological thriller," that engulfs the
audience with "a riveting intensity, that is thoroughly chilling
and utterly unforgettable." The pacing, direction, editing, music
and script of the story creates a film that's truly a masterpiece, that
is told well through the acting of its very talented cast.
Young Haley Joel Osment, whose character
is in 90% of the scenes, is truly a very gifted child prodigy, and was
nominated for "Best Supporting Actor," for his portrayal of
the troubled Cole. He works very well with the adult actors, like a true
professional that he is.
Bruce Willis "has never been
better," in his portrayal of Dr. Crowe, and has really outdone himself
as an actor, playing a character type that he hasn't played before. The
two of them together, Bruce & Haley, really bring the script alive.
Toni Collette plays Cole's mother
so well, that she also received an academy award nomination for "Best
Supporting Actress."
Olivia Williams, who played Dr. Crowe's
wife, superbly carries off her role, in such a way that allows the film's
surprise ending to work.
Favorite Scenes include: The opening
sequence of scenes, that set the course of the movie, Cole's 6th sense
experiences with various ghosts, Dr. Crowe & Cole scenes, Cole &
his Mom scenes, the party scene, the hospital scene, the sequence of scenes
at the house after the girl's funeral, and the surprise ending.
The Music and the sound effects add
greatly to the spookiness, and intensity of the scenes, and quick editing
in just the right spots punctuate the scary highlights for both Cole and
the then involved film's audience.
THE SIXTH SENSE is definitely not
for young children, or children sensitive to scary material, because Cole's
experiences are very well acted, and are portrayed as being terrifying
to this young boy; though finally, with Dr. Crowe's help, he is able to
cope with and conquer his fear, and ultimately help the ghosts that come
to him.
Cole is approached by ghosts who can't
go to the other side, because of having emotional trama that happened
when they were living, and they have the need to have something done by
the living, or need to tell the living something, in order so they can
rest.
Like the moving of the bumblebee pendant
in this film, ghosts often move items belonging to the living to different
spots.
