Toni Collette deserves an Oscar just for that 3 minute scene in the car. Hits me every time

I love how the whole world seems to have come together to NOT spoil this movie for people :)

I am soon to be 73 years old and now the result I have seen a lot of movies in my life. Having said that, I consider the scene in the car where Cole reveals his secret, to be one of the most extraordinary pieces of acting I have ever seen.

If I remember right, Bruce Willis won an award for the movie, but once he was on stage, he was very regretful in accepting it, because of Haley Joel Osment's performance, and felt that he deserved the award instead of himself, and said so to the crowd.

Another door knob detail less mentioned is when Cole reaches for Kara's bedroom door knob, Malcolm's reflection is missing.

“I see a red door and I want it painted black…” Good one, V!

I'm impressed that you picked up on Bruce Willis' character being dead as early as you did. Most of us in the theater didn't know until the reveal near the end. There was a collective reaction when he saw the ring on the floor was his. We were all shocked and surprised and then almost everyone said, "Oh... that explains. the..." Excellent movie and an excellent review.

Bruce Willis became well known for a role he had on TV. He played a partner in a detective agency, comedy-drama, "Moonlighting".

It's not pre-Die Hard, but you should check out 'Death Becomes Her' for some fun Bruce Willis. Such a good movie and he's great!

As far as Haley Joel Osment movies go, Secondhand Lions is one of the most underrated movies I have ever seen. So damn good! And he stands toe to toe to the superb acting talents of Robert Duval and Michael Caine

I think the scene in the car where Cole tells his mom about seeing dead people has a few very specific elements in it: 1. When he first tells him mom that he sees ghosts, her first reaction (just like Bruce Willis's, ironically) is to think he's experiencing serious mental problems. 2. When he tells her about her mother seeing her dance, that's not something that would convince her of anything. The grandmother could easily have told Cole that story while she was still alive. 3. But then he hits you with an answer to a question the mom asked the grandmother AT HER GRAVE, and there's no possible way Cole could have known that unless he's telling the truth. The Sixth Sense is a fantastic movie. I was lucky enough to have seen it in theaters when it first came out, and you can't possibly imagine how big a shock that final twist was at the time. And for a "scary" movie to have so much emotion in it is just icing on the cake.

The actress that played the kid who was poisoned is Mischa Barton. She’s been on some other things, she’s mostly known for the tv show called the O.C.

The ex patient in the bathroom is a dear friend - an unrecognisable Donnie Whalberg from "New Kids..." I work in the Music Industry here in London and have worked with NKOTB several times over the years... I didn't recognise him at all. He was totally immersed in that role. A stellar performance. 😳😁🇬🇧

You might want to see "Unbreakable (2000)" as well.

Cole talking in the beginning about how he's going to see Malcolm again, then at the end how he's not going to see him again. We're supposed to think that's 'see' in the sense of seeing a psychiatrist, but in retrospect it's 'seeing' a ghost. Malcolm's unfinished business and devotion to helping kids drew him to haunt the Vincent-like Cole, and Cole's gift allowed him to see that there was something different about this one. Like the others, he still didn't know he was dead, but he wanted to help and talk, instead of hurting Cole. Once he warmed to the idea of having an adult, a psychiatrist, even a dead one, wanting to help, Cole wanted that help, to the point of pinning his hopes on Malcolm and crying when Malcolm talked about leaving. Even though Cole knew what he was the whole time. This attitude toward Malcolm prepared him for Malcolm's outlandish suggestion regarding the other ghosts. And that changed his life. Returning the favor, Cole worked within Malcolm's delusion that he was still alive and gave him the way to talk across the void to his wife, who didn't have the 6th sense and couldn't hear him like Cole could. And that healed Malcolm, allowing him in the end to finally move on, both items of his unfinished business completed: Helping Cole, and telling his wife she was never second.

Man.... I thought our very attentive Verowak would meet her match with this one. But she has this gift.

That was amazing how you pieced together the part about the mother poisoning the girl. I've seen around 10 videos of people seeing this movie for the first time and you're the only one who figured it out before watching the girl's video.

It's great to see someone with real emotion and feelings watch this. Some videos have someone like Mr, Spock sit there and try to analyze and rationalize every aspect of the movie like it's a science project or pick it apart like some dry documentary on the origins of the hammer.

Michael Caine graciously acknowledged his fellow nominees when he won his Oscar for Cider House Rules. The last he mentioned was Haley Joel Osment. Michael told Haley, "When I saw you, I thought, 'Well, that's me out of it.'"

1:50 that, "It's getting cold" was something I've missed for the first upteenth time I've seen the movie!

According to Night, Red signifies "anything in the real world that has been tainted by the other world" and "to connote really explosively emotional moments and situations"; the carpet at the birthday party; the red balloon, which locates a ghost, but pops when Cole is hurt; Malcom's doorknob; the volume numbers on his tape recorder; sleeping Anna's shawl. For some of the time it's used, I see it as a symbol of sanctuary or as an attempt to confound the dead; the door to the church; Cole's sweater/tent, etc.

You make it awfully hard to NOT watch your reactions. I watched all of your Band of Brother's videos and got addicted by your response, your understanding, your tears, laughter and smile. I surrendered and subscribed. I am just an Army vet who could not resist.

Honestly, Haley Joel Osment should have been nominated for best lead actor, not supporting actor. He was the lead.

My other theory is the ghosts are always around him because he can see them and they KNOW he can see them. Also, they rage and hurt 'because' nobody listens to them, nobody can, they have 'nobody' to talk to ... until now.

Nice how you slid in the Rolling Stones reference!! Great Reaction!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Another clue about Malcolm is that he never changed clothes. He is always in the same outfit. When he is in the sweatshirt, it is the sweatshirt that he puts on at the very beginning of the movie. He never takes his trench coat off because it was covering up his bloodstained shirt. Also, when he wants to be somewhere, he is just there. The basement door was blocked off but he wanted to be in the basement, so he was just there. He needed to find Cole to talk to him about the recording, so he just shows up, in all of Philadelphia, at the exact location that Cole was at.

The door painted black... "...no colors anymore I want them to turn black..." lol... funny

Bruce Willis was in the ABC tv hit show Moonlighting opposite Cybill Sheperd. I liked the episodes I could watch, but couldn't watch most of them as I was getting 4 to 6 hours of homework every night.

"The next fall... oh he recovered." Well, about that!

Verowak, consistently the sharpest knife in the reactor drawer.

Another dramatic role for Bruce Willis, in a criminally underrated film, "In Country" (1989).

You've correctly guessed Munchausen by proxy AND figured out the twist ending ahead of the reveal?! You're intellectually in another league as far as movie reactions are concerned. Sheesh...

No matter how often you watch this movie, you always think that it's the best movie you've ever seen - even if you've seen better in other genres. It will never grow old. Always watchable. Willis proved that he could actually ACT. Haley Joel Osment is probably the finest 'child' actor ever (I thought he was brilliant when he was even younger in Forest Gump). Thank you for posting.

Re: Bruce Willis Rom Coms before Die Hard, you are probably thinking of a TV show called Moonlighting. It was on for 5 seasons. He had hair through most of it. As I recall he played a private detective opposite Cybill Shepard. I forget what her role was but there was a lot of snarky banter between them.

“Cole, aged nine. He’s divorced.” lol

"He is dedicated to his job". Yep, DEADicated

I love how Vincent and Cole both have that thin white patch in their hair.

Bruce Willis and Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan made a bunch of films together. You should check out Unbreakable - Split - and Glass (in that order, it will make a lot of sense to you why eventually).

27:29 It was confusing but it wasn’t the mom talking about her father’s cancer, it was just a guest.

What the girl's mom was putting in the soup looked exactly like Pine-Sol floor cleaner.

It's always time well spent watching great movies with one of my favorite Canadian reactors. Keep them coming.

I've seen maybe a dozen reactions to this movie, and I've never been so surprised as I was when you said "don't tell me mom's doing it"!

Wow! Never have I seen someone call the twist of this movie. You are remarkable. Okay, we knew that already. Fascinating. And yea, this movie is a masterpiece.

Thanks, Verowak! 😱 Since you mentioned Mr. Osment's movies... of the ones you listed, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (2001) impacted me the most, emotionally... almost as much as the above title you're reacting to. 💎

Pretty hard to top this for any of The Sixth Sense reactions. No one has ever caught the plot twist at that time -- that was insane! And you were so in tune with the story the whole way and no one has ever done that either to that degree. That was special. The best reaction channel, you'd definitely be nominated

That five-year span, 1995-2000, Bruce Willis made one of the most emotional movies I've ever seen: The Sixth Sense, The Kid, Armageddon. Also some incredible movies like Die Hard with vengeance, 12 monkeys, The fifth element. Fun fact, I hadn't realized that two movies have to do with numbering

It's good you noticed the red door handle. This was deliberate by the director. You even said "Is that the mom in the red?" If you watch again, notice whenever red is in the scene.

If I may say......great editing. Hits practically every nail. You are also very observant a rare trait in this day and age.

Great reaction to one of the most emotionally devastating performances I've seen. I saw this soon after it came out and even now I still have tears on my face during this movie. All three of the leads deserved Academy Awards for their performances in my opinion. Toni Collette was pinpoint perfection as Cole's mom, and Haley Joel Osment was so good I don't even know how to describe it. For such a young actor to give such a completely haunted performance as Cole was astounding. And Bruce was as stellar as he could be, showing he's much more than an action hero or a romcom star. FYI he plays an incredibly good villain too, both in an episode from the first season of the Miami Vice TV show in the 80s and in The Jackal from 1997. Both worth a watch if you can find them. The Moonlighting TV show (1985-1989) was where a lot of us first saw him as a lead actor, which was a romcom that was great for the first three or so seasons and started to slip after that. He also played a serious role in 12 Monkeys and a serious secondary role in The Siege. A fun action hero role is The Fifth Element, a serious yet comedic role is Whole Nine Yards, and a great seriousish Disney movie he did is The Kid. All of which are worth a watch. For me, the unsung unrecognized hero of the movie is the schoolteacher. In spite of the fact that Cole outed him as a former stutterer and tormented him with it until he stutteringly called Cole a freak, I believe that the teacher, who was likely tormented and bullied as a stutterer when in school, understood Cole's situation and tried to make him feel more included and less of an outsider. Remember, Cole tells us that the teacher gave Cole the role of Arthur, the hero of Sword in the Stone, and cast Tommy Thomasino as the village idiot (well deserved in my opinion), giving Cole the chance for the glory and a good experience with the other students carrying him around until they collapsed all laughing happily together. The teacher could have been a world class jerk, but instead he did all he could to try to help and elevate Cole. That's awesome behavior in my book. My favorite movie of Haley Joel Osment's is Secondhand Lions. So many good actors and so many good performances in that one.

Loved watching this again with you - you almost had it unlike most people. There's a great comedian Nate Bargatze (Netflix is a Joke) segment where he talks about this movie - pretty funny.

I first saw Bruce Willis in Moonlighting with Cybil Shepperd. (who was in Taxi Driver and The Last Picture Show) Moonlighting was very good late 80's TV show. I cannot watch a reaction of this without a box of Kleenex. 75% of this movie is flat out heartbreaking because of the performances of the cast. Especially if it hits the reactor in the heartstrings as well. And you figured it out right before the reveal. But that's ok. Your reactions are some of my favorites. Strange how 12 angry Men and the 6th Sense, 2 of the greatest movies I've ever seen were tied. Good fortune.

We all wish we could go back and watch this movie again for the first time. But we do enjoy watching others see it for their first time. My wife and I went to the theater to see this when it came out. There was an audible full audience gasp when the plot twist dropped. One of the best twist ever. Great reaction Vera, as usual. Good job.

Well done for working it out. When you mentioned the red things I thought you had it from the start. All the red objects are clues.

Donny Wahlberg doesn't get enough credit for his performance in the beginning

Haley Jo Osmond in Artificial Intelligence is an even more heartbreaking and incredible performance by him

Donnie Wahlberg was in Dead Silence(great horror movie),Saw 2 and Dreamcatcher.

I envy you. Watching this masterpiece (and I don’t use that word lightly) for the first time is one of those moments you will not soon forget. I watched this move on opening night and I still get chills watching it today. You are the first reactor to have caught the big twist as early as you did. I realized Malcolm was a ghost at the exact same time you did. When Cole suggested how he could “fix” the marriage, it hit me like a ton of bricks!

Nice reaction! You are one of the very few who saw the big plot twist coming. Others who anticipated it were aware of how unusual Malcolm's behavior was for a psychologist (e.g., psychologists do not follow their patients around in their community or make house calls).

Haley Joel Osmond is now 36, he has a stunning list of acting credits across movies, TV, games, and voice. A good one to see him in as an adult, is the Netflix thriller, "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile". You ought to react to that one! Your reaction to The Sixth Sense was so good! Thank you for sharing it wirh us!

6:30 Keep that color red in mind. Edit: Yes, every time there's something supernatural happening we see red.

"oh he recovered. good" me: lol yep

Bruce Willis first came to fame on television, co-starring with Cybill Sheppard in the series “Moonlighting.” “Moonlighting” is available to stream on Hulu and Disney+, with The Disney Bundle subscription plan, in the United States.

Verowak, I knew that the chances of you figuring out the twist were very high. 👍👍 You're a member of the "Chosen Few" who figured it out. Well done!

I believe that Walberg's character had the same ability as cole. He could see dead people, but he didn't have Bruce at an early age to help him deal with it and inderstand. Eventually it was to late and he had gone crazy by then. And finally snapped, and that's why he shot Bruce. Cole started having the same ability so bruce, After his death and without his knowledge, went to help cole and then he be at peace and could move on to the other world. I tell you this one movie is 1 of the few that really caught me off guard at the end.I did not see it that Bruce's character was dead until they showed it. Haley was up for the best actor Oscar and I think should have won and he didn't.He would have been the youngest actor to ever win.An oscar had he won.

"Is Kyra coming back?" is just such a heartbreaking line. Poor girl lost her sister and her mother turned out to be a monster.

Very impressive Verowak!!! Your reaction was just a little earlier than the rest of the world, but just as imotional in your own time. Thanks so much for sharing. I wonder if anyone has asked you watch "The Game' with Michael Douglas? I think you would love it! No one has been disappointed that has seen it. Enjoy!

Bruce Willis is good with kids. This one, Mercury Rising, The Kid. Ashton Kutcher. You should definitely try and watch those two.

Congratulations: you are the first person doing reactions for this movie that imagines what is going on perfectly, before the end of the movie. You are so clever ❤ Usually people freaks out and stares the movie with their mouth opened. I'll be checking all your other reactions... p.d.: love the hair :)

Bruce Willis is also in Unbreakable by the same director. Sam Jackson co-stars.

After all the reactions I've seen of this movie, I somehow knew you would figure it out b4 the reveal. Smart girl! Good reactions.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001-IMDb 7,2) - with H. J. Osment Pay It Forward (2000-IMDb 7,2) - with H. J. Osment

Wow, I have to say I'm impressed. I've watched at least 15 reaction to this movie (yes it's one of my favorites. Lol) and you were the first person to figure out the poison beforehand and the first to guess Bruce was a ghost before it was all revealed. 👏

I remember seeing this movie in theaters, and the collective gasps when the ending was reveal. There hadn't been a big horror movie reveal like that in so long , and people didn't see it coming. This is still one of my favorite movies and my heart still breaks every time we get to the car scene. There are so many things that we pick up on after rewatch(es). Like the fact that the wife wasn't able to let go because she felt his presence everywhere. She was in deep depression, So the fact that he is moving on means she will be able to move on, too. Same with the grandmother. You finally realize that the grandmother was unable to move on until she let her daughter know about the dance recital. But Cole wasn't able to tell his mom his secret, so his grandmother couldn't move on. You are one of the only reactors who picked up on the little sister getting sick as well.

This is on my Mt Rushmore of movies. Excellent performances by all involved. If you want to see more of Bruce Willis (literally) he plays a serious non-action role in the 12 Monkeys. He is also in the Rom-Com Blind Date.

27:45 After knowing the twist, this scene makes a little more sense. It's just a kid no one has seen before going up stairs. Not a kid and a man.

The youngest actor ever to win an Academy Award was Tatum O’Neal for Paper Moon (1973), which she co-starred with her father, Ryan. She was 10. She is followed by Kiwi actress, Anna Paquin, at age 11, for her role in The Piano (1993). Haley Joel Osment’s performance was superb - definitely Oscar material but sometimes it’s just the luck of the draw but he is one of the youngest actors to receive an Oscar nomination. His performance in The Sixth Sense led him to be cast and work with Steven Spielberg on A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001). He can be seen in season 1 of The Boys, playing a former child actor.

Love the reaction and if you wouldn't mind me giving you a fun fact, the doctor that was talking to his mom about what could be going on with Cole, well that doctor was actually the director of this film, M. Night!!

Wow, not many guess the reveal ahead of time, very sharp :). This is billed as a scary movie (and it certainly has its moments) but really it's quite beautiful I think. Rarely a dry eye by the end.

Mischa Barton is another talented child actor. She plays creepy really well here.

I've heard people say the white streaks in both their hair is because of the constant fear they're in. Sounds plausible.

What I love about this movie is that you go in expecting a scary story about ghosts, but you actuallly get 2 beautiful, moving love stories between a husband and wife and a mother and son.

The mom was wearing a red sweater in the car. Alos, the red balloon that popped right before the kids stuffed him into the closet.

At the little girl's funeral, 2 guests were talking and one says that her father died of cancer but can't imagine loosing a child. So it that really had nothing to do with the story, it was just for atmosphere.

You've seen quite a bit of Donnie Wahlberg: he played Carwood Lipton in 'Band of Brothers'.

"Hey come on, ill show when my dad keeps his gun, come on." Thats reference to those old 90's anti gun commercials. Bruce Willis was a voice character for a movie, Beavis and Butthead: do America. The Balloon 🎈 at the party was red.

29:42 - "Don't eat anything your mom gives you." Oh my god, that's the funniest thing I ever heard. 😅😅😅

In the DVD commentary, M. Night Shyamalan said that every time a ghost interacts with the physical world, that object is red. The doorknob, Cole's red sweater, the red blanket fort, everything.

This is my favorite Bruce Willis movie. Great reaction and review. 👊🏻

Great reaction! Kudos for figuring it out just before you were told!! 😎👏👏

Wow! Now that's a reaction! What a great reaction 🤗😺😃

Good Bruce Willis movies are Hudson Hawk and The Whole 9 yards. Both comedies.

Before all the movies you mentioned, Haley Joel was in a sitcom called The Jeff Foxworthy Show he was very young and brilliant, even then. Great reaction

As a longtime watcher of Verowak, I wasn't surprised by her reaction to the Magic Penny show. Annoyance, but laughter. It pushed me over the edge. Liked and subscribed!

Great reaction like always. The attention to detail in this movie is amazing and makes it a fun rewatch. Every time there's a ghost and a human nearby there's something red. A red balloon leads Cole up the stairs at the birthday party. Cole's safety tent is made of red blankets. The horrible mother at the funeral is wearing red. The inexplicable changes of temperature from normal to so cold that you can see the characters’ breath can be explained by the fact that it only gets cold when a ghost is upset. So well done. There are others fun-facts about it, Walt Disney Studios' then-president David Vogel didn’t bother to consult with his superiors before paying $2.25 million for the rights to The Sixth Sense, and agreed to let Shyamalan direct the already-expensive film. Vogel’s boss was livid when he found out about the deal, and demanded that Vogel relinquish some of his power. When Vogel refused, he was canned. Actor Donnie Wahlberg lost 43 pounds for his role of Vincent Grey, changing his appearance so much that director M. Night Shyamalan did not even recognize him on the first day of filming. The inexplicable changes of temperature from normal to so cold that you can see the characters’ breath can be explained by the fact that it only gets cold when a ghost is upset. Shyamalan regretted casting himself as dr. Hill, He did it as a “nice little thing” to acknowledge his parents, who are both doctors. Unfortunately, the actor Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan wasn’t good enough for his director: He thought his acting was so bad that he cut most of his scene. Cole speaks a Latin phrase in church upon meeting Malcolm: “De profundis clamo ad te domine.” These are actually the first few words of Psalm 130 in The Bible. Translated into English, thy mean, “Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.” This movie story it’s similar to an episode of are you “Afraid of the dark” the 1994 episode “The Tale of the Dream Girl” shares a similar storyline to this movie, where a teenager named Johnny doesn’t realize that he’s dead until the very end of the episode, even though the only living person that talks to him is his sister Erica. (The audience doesn't realize it either.) This movie was one of only five horror movies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. The others were Jaws, The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs, and Black Swan. It was also the only one of these movies that did not win any Academy Awards. Keep up the good work.

Think about the color red … red door knob, red dress, red door, red balloon, etc.

Yep, red was to symbolize the dead/afterlife being around. Seeing Toni Collette makes me think of a really underrated coming-of-age movie called The Way Way Back with Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell and Little Miss Sunshine. Cool that you picked up on the hints, it does add up in the end.

This movie is so special to me! It’s such a heartbreaking story but also so beautiful and touching

Wonderful reaction! Thank you so much for allowing me to watch this fantastic movie again though your fresh eyes. It was very much like seeing it for the first time. We don’t intuit the plot twist in this movie because we not only think that Malcolm has protagonist armor, we subliminally believe that Bruce Willis has superstar armor. You don’t even question that he survived the gunshot. On the DVD, there’s an extra which divulges the clues sprinkled throughout the film. P.S. Don't tell anyone, but I cried right alongside you. Brava!

Yes, you should definitely watch Moonlighting. You'd love it.
