The amazing six sense
The 1999 movie, The Sixth Sense, both written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, with its amazing final twist, is one of the best thrillers ever made. Bruce Willis and 10-year-old Haley Joel Osment make an incredible connection that is rarely seen in other movies. It is to Willis' credit to allow the little boy to shine in virtually every scene. Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a well-known child psychologist who is living a happy life with his understanding wife (Ollivia Williams). One night a man breaks into their house and claims to be a former patient of Malcolm's. He reminds Malcolm that he was always scared and Malcolm failed to help him. He fires a gun at Dr. Crowe and then shoots himself in the head. A few months pass, and Malcolm recovers. But he is not the same person that he used to be. His career is turning into a failure and his marriage seems to be falling apart. Meanwhile, he takes an interest in the case of Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), an 8-year-old boy whose case is a lot like the former patient who shot him. Cole suffers from a mood disorder and spends a lot of his time alone at church. He is called "a freak" by his classmates at school. Cole asks Dr. Crowe to help him not to

Night Shyamalan does a great job in creating terrifying scenes, yet he does not sacrifice the greatness of the story with throwing too much horror scenes into the film. "It is the only horror film this year that underplays its horrors," Carr writes. Foreshadows and clues play an important role in this movie. James Newton Howard provides a soundtrack that does an excellent job in setting the mood and foreshadowing different events in the movie. The color "red" is specifically used throughout the movie every time there is connection with the supernatural. It is the amazing final twist of the story that makes the all the connections and puts everything together in an unexpected way. Every scene that was questionable the first time will make perfect sense if the movie is viewed for a second time. Cole is a brave kid. He has kept his secret for a long time. But he cannot handle it anymore, mostly because he cannot see his concerned mother continue to suffer. At school his classmat
