This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

4/4 ESSENTIALIf you've talked with anyone who's anyone about The Sixth Sense, chances are you've heard "I see dead people". I encourage people who have not viewed he film to walk in to their first viewing as blind as possible, because the less you know the better. If you're farmiliar with M. Night Shyamalan's work, you'll know that he's famous for a twist at the end of his movies. This is not only Shyamalan's best twist, but one of my favorite thrillers, and a modern classic.The Sixth Sense is not a movie that is characterized by constant jump-scares and over-the-top violence, but instead it is a very smart, well preformed, and well directed movie. It slowly reveals new information over the course of the movie, and the suspense is waiting for the next answer. However, the two main characters (played by Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis) are always on the same phase of he journey as you are, providing a more genuine emotion to their preformances. It is a very well-constructed, well-orchestrated film and never gives way to it's own complex plot.As for the acting, Osment is able to play the very troubled kid, Cole, alive with raw fear. To capture such a mature preformance out of a child his age is truly incredible. Willis gives a very earnest preformance as Dr. Malcolm Crowe as well, and it'll be hard or forget as well... I was genuinely surprised at how convincing both the leads and the supporting cast was. It doesn't get more authentic than this.The instant success of this movie prompted Shyamalan to churn out more movies made in its image. Next was Unbreakable, a fantastic movie, and quite possibly an equal to The Sixth Sense. In 2002 came Signs, which was a great drama but little for suspense. In 2004, Shyamalan returned again with his signature "plot twist" with The Village, which fails to impress me. There is no doubt that Shyamalan hit hard with this movie, as he has been trying desperately to re-create the amazing experience found here. It just goes to show a formula is only good for so long, and he nails it in The Sixth Sense.M. Night Shyamalan has since been branded as a one-trick pony. While I disagree, I can understand those who think that. His films are similar... some are great, others aren't all that good. Even if it's true, The Sixth Sense is a pretty amazing trick and undoubtedly the movie that started it all for Shyamalan.

First of all, I watched this movie for the first time today. I was not aware of the twist and the story beforehand but after watching it I felt like it was pretty obvious. Like, nobody talked to Malcolm except Cole. His wound was always hidden and his wife kissing someone else and dating someone else when Malcolm was living in the basement. I guess maybe I noticed all this because I have read too many mystery novels or watched too many mystery movies. I liked the movie, acting and screenplay and everything. But I don't think that the twist was something unexpected.

** This will contain spoilers!** In the Sixth Sense, it starts out with a child psychiatrist that is confronted by a former patient. This patient says that Dr. Malcolm failed him. Then cuts to Dr. Malcolm watching a child. He believes that he was hired to help him. Throughout the whole move there are hints and a foreshadowing of then ending. The little boy, Cole, tells Dr. Malcolm that he sees dead people all the time. That they don't know they are dead, that they only see what they want to see. Which is what makes the ending so powerful After watching this film, you see there were so many things that could led you to the ending. Overall I think that the movie shows a lot about death and life. While Cole was living and seeing the dead, even as a scared little boy, took an opportunity to go alone to help a little girl that died and needed him. Just as Dr. Malcolm needs Cole, and didn't realize it as he felt Cole was the one needing saving. This is one of my favorite movies, I watched it as a child and re- watched it for a class and it is still as interesting and brilliant as before. The scenes, the casting, the music, everything in the film was brought together perfectly to become a powerful movie of its time.
