The 1999 film The Sixth Sense produced by M. Night Shyamalan follows a revered and troubled social worker in his endeavor to help an equally troubled child. After receiving an award for his outstanding psychiatric work with children, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) Finds Vincent grey, a former patient suffering from hallucinations, in his bathroom and accuses the doctor of failing him before pointing the gun at himself and committing suicide. A year later, he encounters nine year old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), his newest patient with similar issues to Vincent Dr Malcolm sees Cole as redemption for his failure; a second chance to save the patient he could not before. However, it is not mere hallucinations causing Cole's unusual behavior, but something much darker. Crowe comes to realize a terrifying truth about the boy; He can see the dead. I personally enjoyed the film. The twist ending caught me completely off guard and changed my view of the entire movie. Quotes: (all of the following quotes were taken from this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/quotes ) Cole: Tell me the story about why you're sad. Malcolm Crowe: You think I'm sad? [Cole nods] Malcolm Crowe: What makes you think that? Cole Sear: Your eyes told me. Once upon a time there was this person named Malcolm. He worked with children. He loved it. He loved it more than anything else. And then one night, he found out that he made a mistake with one of them. He couldn't help that one. And he can't stop thinking about it, he can't forget. Ever since then, things have been different. He's not the same person that he used to be. And his wife doesn't like the person that he's become. They barely speak anymore, they're like strangers. And then one day Malcolm meets this wonderful little boy, a really cool little boy. Reminds him a lot of the other one. And Malcolm decides to try and help this new boy. 'Cause he feels that if he can help this new boy, it would be like helping that other one too.” Cole Sear: How does the story end? Malcolm Crowe: I don't know. Malcolm: I think I can go now. Just needed to do a couple of things. I needed to help someone; I think I did. And I needed to tell you something: You were never second, ever. I love you. You sleep now. Everything will be different in the morning.” Anna Crowe: [in her sleep] “Good night, Malcolm…” Malcolm Crowe: “Goodnight, sweetheart.” |
