Night should show himself fully in the movie for his movies to hit the jackpot. mirror images ensure mirage-like returns.

I guess I wrote about the movie as a whole. aa particular dialogue gurthu ledu correct ga. but here's what I had written earlier. ************* spoilers ahead ************** signs - movie is essentially about one's belief in coincidence or whetehr trhere's a superpower above us 'handling' stuff. pay attention to the dialogue between gibson nad his bro somewhere in the middle of the movie. that's the crux. so gibson loses his wife in a freak accident and totally loses belief in god, for he was a minister himself and cannot digest the fact. now, all this aliens concept is to put in the spooky stuff, manoj style and drive us towards climax. so in the climax, his son gets saved. how ? several things happen. first the kid has an asthma attack at THAT time, so the poisonous gases emitted by the alien are not taken in by the kid, next the girl has this weird habit of water-phobia and leaves water everywhere in the house and it SO happens that the aliens are allergic/threatened by water and that becomes the alien's undoing. next, the brother who is a slugger of the ball in baseball gets the right chance with the bat hanging just around. all he has done in his life is swing and now he does exactly that. so either one can assume all of these were mere coincidences OR one can assume there's GOD looking for us from above. so gibson belives the latter and gets back to his biz.

Deyyam by RGV is an example of the "mind" movie while "Rangeela" is an example of the "heart" type. In the case of MN Syanamalan all his movies ecept "Wide Awake" and Stuart Little" are the mind type. People who critisize him and say that they wasted 8 bucks during "Signs" gave him a $50+ mil opening weekend again. Remeber that even Alfred Hitchcock had a sizeable number of duds.

SIgns was a very deep picture about human psyche and others. A "father" whose wife is killed in the crash and she stuck in a tree while he talks her to death is very very novel and untruiging. OTOH, Village is sheer master storytelling. Please take the movie as it comes. DO NOT think ahaed of the directory. You will enjoy the story if you move in pace with the director. I reiterate my statement that is is not for kids and people who want to see preconceived "action"," horror" or "love" in certain movies.

Was waiting for this movie since months... I would give a B+ to this movie. The movie is really engrossing and definitely lives up to manoj's calibre of filmaking. But the only dissappointing thing that i felt about the movie was the "suspense" factor. any person who keenly followed manoj's earlier movies would guess the suspense within the first half itself. I myself guessed long back that there are no creatures outside the village , so I didnt feel any shock when the suspense got revealed. Had there were no additional 2 shocks , (one where Ivy really comes across the creature and manoj leads us to the conclusion that there were indeed the creatures outside the village , and the other being adrien in the creature's attire ) the movie would have been crap. But the movie is definetly worth watching...and I feel Sixth sense is still Manoj's best movie...which engrosses the audience, and finally the suspense shocks. While village succeeds in creating the atmosphere, the suspense is silly. Bhoot hoon main. Brad Bewarse ke Bewarse!

Okay. 3/5. found it little dragging. the taking and the sound effects are great. technically brilliant. except for sigoury weaver the casting is apt. this movie is a perfect example of a great screen ply. again the movie has a wfer thin story but the the story telling/screen play is something you would be amazed with. coming out of the theatre you would have a line of smile on your face. disadvantage is people expect a lot form MNS. in comparision to his other works, better than Unbreakable and almost similar to Signs. Sixth sense only stands as his best as we are unaware of this director then. since the director had three releases in the same genre, we are tuned to his story telling hence expect more/extradinory and when we don't find what we wanted we feel disappointed. coming to recomendation, I would recomend it to all. but no hurry to watch it this weekend only. can be watched at leisure on a matniee or if you have a good home theatre watch it when it comes on DVD.

I'm now in the Sunny Floridaaah!! after the brief but unfruitful job hunt in the Wild West.. Got a job near the Miami area, but I frequent the dusty West at least once a month to take care of some grumpy bunch of hillbillie (read 'clients') in the Silicon Valley.. . Life is good so far.. On the topic: The audience almost jumped out of their seats at least three times.. the most common comment I heard or the look I saw on people's faces coming out of the theater was 'I was expecting a horror movie.. Donno what to say..'.. But I guess the movie has its share of scares to satisfy the horror movie freaks.. Out of the most laughable reviews I read is from 'Roger Ebert'.. you should read his review on movies.yahoo.com. This guy gives a 'two thumbs up for every silly movie that needs to be propped up with a big stick up its butt to get noticed.. but he gives a C+ rating for this movie.. I dont understand why these critics need to 'criticize' each movie just for the heck of posting a review.. have they lost all the sense that 'movies are meant to be enjoyed.. not picked apart to look for reason where it is not warranted.. One thing I felt at one point in the movie is that Manoj should try a love story next.. just to prove his versatility. He has already proved that he is a master storyteller.. now a change of genre is badly needed. The way he visualised some of the scenes between Lucius and Ivy show that he has that ability to subtly yet effectively convey romantic tensions and yearnings between the protagonists.. Did anyone else like the way the romantic undercurrents were shown in the movie?? Proud member of 'Head-fi.org' - the best online community for hi-fi audio enthusiasts on the internet - Check it out.

Anyways Just coming back from the movie.. and the verdict from the audience seemed to be split at the middle. You either love this movie, or hate it.. Manoj is turning out to be another Hitchcock and a Spielberg in the making.. As Spitfire already said.. very few people could conceive a story like this and tell it in such a masterful way I could not agree more with these two statements. In particular, you either like or hate the movie, there would be very few who think it is OK and worth a watch. But the think is like it or hate it, they see it. The storyline is wafer thin and excellently conceived and told. Manoj has the great ability create horror or psyche in broad daylight only with camera shots and no special effects. ( sending the theatre into screams atleast 3 times).

Just coming back from the movie.. and the verdict from the audience seemed to be split at the middle. You either love this movie, or hate it.. Manoj is turning out to be another Hitchcock and a Spielberg in the making.. As Spitfire already said.. very few people could conceive a story like this and tell it in such a masterful way.. Hats off to Manoj !! But I frankly rate 'Sixth Sense' to be his best work yet.. possibly one of the most unique movies I ever saw !!

It is a masterpiece, Syamalans best without argument in my humble opinion. He is the master storyteller and has a convincing tale to tell. The movie was simple with miserly BGM. The undercurrent in the movie appelas only to grownups and the the 15 and below would have a touch time ( as opposed to SIXTH SENSE). Heck of a movie and would suggest that you see it on the big screen to witness the electryfying direction of a thin storyline. Singh.
