Absolutely!!!

2right what a star ⭐️ why can’t the oscars see what a mistake they’ve made

They don't give Oscars to kids very often. Maybe they don't want a repeat of what happened to Tatum O'Neal.

Absolutely!

He absolutely should have won the Oscar. His fear is palpable.

One of a very select few movies I’ve ever returned to see again in theater. Great the second time. Also “There’s Something About Mary”. Mostly because I couldn’t hear many of the lines over the laughter.

agreed.

​@@jamesjarrait2231is it true the cinemas would turn down the heating during the ghost scenes? Or is that an urban myth?

@Dani O I haven’t seen it. Perhaps I’ll take a look. Bale is indeed a dedicated actor. Did you see what he did to himself for The Machinist?

well, in this movie he had to....he was dead

@@zeepping WHAT?

I have loved him since his ‘Moonlighting’ days. He just always had that certain something. The nice looking guy, sweet, chivalrous, with a great sense of humor. I’m so sad for what he’s going through right now.

I never really cared for him until I saw this movie. I saw him as a strong, protective adult in the room, unlike the usual loudmouth douche he was in everything else. And I really loved Moonlighting. Just not him or his character. But this movie changed him completely in my mind. He made me feel safe when he was on the screen.

@@mindyenglish5305 he definitely brought a lot to this role, and he didn't rely on wisecracks to do it. Refreshing.

I didn’t ‘get it’ the first time.. and each time after, I got more and loved it!!!

Watching it the second time, it was a totally different movie!

Amazing

EXACTLY!!!! This movie and SIGNS both had the same effect on me. M Night is a brilliant producer, INDEED…

It would be wonderful to re-release this movie with all the pieces put back in.

Or any age

I saw Haley in an X File which was surprising. He did not grow up to be the slight boy turned into thin man. His acting skills were awesome as a child, and as an adult.

@Mostly Anthologies I loved that move 💛

@Jean Bradberry totally agree.

@@gracebe235 I totally agree , it's rigged..

🙋

American Beauty was cold and sterile, with disturbing subject matter. It was very clean and professionally done. However, there really wasn’t anything to truly enjoy in the experience of watching it. A one and done film. The Sixth Sense was a heck of a ghost story, complete with excellent performances, wonderful story telling and great direction. It was a truly enjoyable experience that people wanted to see multiple times so as to pick up in what they previously missed. The Sixth Sense was easily the better of the two, so it was no surprise American Beauty won Best Picture.

Wow, I absolutely loved both movies! The unusual ways they were both filmed. I would've had a hard time making the choice if I had to!!

​@@vinceventresca6763 That was one of the best , summaries of American Beauty! I hated it, I fell for the hype, but appreciated cinematography. It's one of those movies, for me that the characters are unhappy due to their own (poor?) choices in life.

I enjoyed both..But I must agree with you 100pct!

Agree

Seen a few children in black and white movies be this good

That is definitely true I am Magine on the other hand I also think he’s a really good method actor

Yeah, there is such gentleness to it.. it's amazing how he conveys that...

Gaaaay

Bruce Willis in real life is an absolute rude azz.

@@biga87718 you have met him? How would you know otherwise?

Actually, one of the Best Movies of My Lifetime...

Yes I agree, although all of these scenes are masterful in their own right and it was too bad they had to go! 😩 Thank you Mr. Shayamalan for your sacrifices and for your amazing sensitivity and patience with your actors, giving them the time and space to do or say whatever they felt necessary at the time. 👌

Cole’s father didn’t come home. Maybe he wasn’t a soldier, but Cole knows what it is to lose one. That’s the connection.

@@BJMallory WELL SAID.

E V. E. R !!!!!!!

Agree....didn't realize the dr was a ghost too until the end.

What a tweest!

And NO ONE gave the ending away!

No it's not. I guessed the doctor was a ghost within minutes of him appearing with Cole or maybe after he got shot, I cant remember the movie much now. I seen better movies. One of my favourites is The Japanese Story. I think it can be improved on but it's a movie that stays with you a long time. This movie didn't, but then again we are all different.

Any movie that can totally surprise me at the ending is a good movie to me as I can usually figure out what's gonna happen in movies. At the end of this movie I was like "Wait. Whaaat?" Then I immediately had to watch the movie again just to see that his wife never actually responded to anything he said. I remember wondering why he could just walk upstairs in a house of ppl he didn't know (little girl poisoned scene funeral get together at house), I thought "oh he can just walk upstairs in someone's house". It was lots of little things, I thought how it was a stupid movie just because of things like that. So when it ended, I was amazed. Absolutely stunned and immediately re-watched it and thought how the movie was just brilliant! It fooled me! Unexpected ending! BRAVO! EXCELLENT! This is my favorite movie of all time. SCENT OF A WOMAN is right behind it.

But it wasn't needed because it all gets covered when he helps the dead girl at her wake.

That would've screwed up the whole timing of the movie.

It could've been done after the play right before Bruce's last conversation with his wife. However would've had to be reshot with mom standing in Bruce's spot. Probably would have been cut again for time restraint.

Me too... I have been a Psychic Medium for 50 years... and I didn't see the ending coming!! I was surprised myself... how did I not catch it???!!! LOL

Me too. I love a good psychological thriller. One if my favorites!

I'm amazed that man is still alive. Philadelphia USA

He’s only 33.

Haley Joel Osment was a brilliant child actor!

@@mariagonzalez4136 Still is making movies... Check out his filmography.

Yeah, he's hilarious in "Future Man."

I remember watching that too, especially when Cole comes home from school to see his mom and “Malcolm” sitting opposite each other and not even talking. I was like, “Well that’s kind of strange that the mom doesn’t even say anything or at least introduce Cole to the Dr.” After watching the end that’s when I put two and two together.

that's why it's great to re watch!

Another thing that sort of gives away that Malcolm is a ghost is that sometimes Cole seemed surprised at seeing him, like in the bus scene, where he's going to the little girl's house. But what really gave the whole thing away, for me, was the 'info dump' scene where Cole says "I see dead people. The dead don't know they're dead, they only see what they want to see. And the dead can't see the other dead..." Too much information, a 'dead' giveaway!

Yeah, and I think that is another reason it was wise to cut that scene. I might have been more likely to wonder about him just walking into that guy's house and not getting offered any lemonade. ;-)

When we watched this for the first time we rented it, and my mom called it in the first 10 minutes and we laughed because that was a ridiculous thing to think - she was understandably upset with her 3 teenagers mocking her so she got up and left watching it. About halfway through, we started noticing Bruce wasn't acting normally around the kid and when it was revealed we were all shocked and I remember shouting "mom you were right?!!!" And her shouting back "I'm always right! I'm your mother!" 😅

Am sure I read that he is crazy gifted from very young

This movie showed that Willis was a great actor. He has the ability to show a wide range of depths of emotion. It’s sad that he has fallen into complacency and only shows up know one dimensionally.

It is an extraordinary film. The creator, whose name I cannot spell, is incredibly good. I think he is of Indian descent.

Masterful 🙄😳😅😅😅😅

I feel like he should do more serious roles. The die hards were good entertainment, mostly, but he needed to be stretched beyond them.

I almost didn't go to that movie because I couldn't stand Bruce Willis. I left with entirely new perspective of him. He was more heroic in this than in any of his action films. He made me feel safe when he was on the screen with Cole. I knew the ghosts wouldn't hurt him if he was there.

The ending shocked me so much! Later, I saw an interview and learned that all the clues were in red...wow. Really one of the great movies!!

I had to watch this movie four times before I really understood it. I will probably watch it again. Each time I see it I realize something new.

@@char4him99 Oh shit, now I gotta watch it again

U

Yep! That and the Old Man Scene and the Original Ending!

We only see Cole’s perspective a few times. At home, he has everlasting encounters with ghosts, sequentially. Cole may actually be crowded with ghosts, but the ghosts don’t see each other, so we only see one at a time.

@@emilymccormick6006 agreed and he suggests that ver thing in middle of the movie that he can't take the non-stop parade of ghosts

Was it a scene in Ghost when Oda Mae Brown finally can talk to spirits and ends up with a house full of them all waiting their turn?

So what?

@@emilymccormick6006 Remember...he says, "They only see what they want to see"? If they didn't know each other in life, there would be no reason to see each other (or want to) in death. That's my take on it anyway.

The days before social media! Impossible nowadays.

Sadly not everyone was that respectful, I remember my older sister telling me a friend of her boyfriend, all teenagers at the time , had opened the theatre door and yelled “Bruce Willis is dead” to the entire audience. Thankfully most people weren’t that thoughtless.

I was teaching a college class at the time. I had just seen the film and told them they needed to all see it by the following week so we could discuss it. A student in class said in front of the entire class, "I already saw it and I cannot believe..." and told the freaking ending. I was furious. 🤦‍♀️

There are few movies that are able to keep a plot twist like that secret. That's a sign of an amazing writer and director.

@@ec6443 so true, I’ve yet to have a movie fool me like that. Never saw that coming. I’m going to watch it again some day.

I figured this movie out in 20 minutes.

@@michaelhamerin3814 too bad because I didn’t and blew my mind. Kinda neat getting fooled like that. I too do that to my wife, I’ll say I figured it out then she does and it’s way father 8nto a movie. It’s nice to figure it out, but more to have them fool you. I looked back and said ”ah I should of saw that”, but still nice to be fooled.

@@Dan-qt7kq Yes, I agree. What bummed me out me was that it seemed too easy. I never considered it to be very well constructed. I'm glad it was entertaining for so so many, but I still didn't see it as such.

Seeing dead people isn't a gift. The fact that he helped people during his own misery and fears, made me think that he is a gift himself.

That was a good one too.

Mine too..I love these I don't know I'm dead type movies. Another good one is called Passengers.

Yes!

Yes... and "The Gift"

I loved both too....

He was in the Entourage movie a couple years ago and was pretty fucking hilarious.

he was in the Amazon show called " the boys " last season, season 2 I believe. he played the character called Mesmer I think. pretty cool

@@mysteryneophyte Thanks. I will check that out.

@@MrSomeRedditor Can you clarify?

He is in the Netflix series "The Komisky Method". He is introduced in the last episode on the second season and is a recurring character in the third season.

Glad I’m not the only one. 😭😭

Yessss me too! Also…. His lady in the water movie I was crying my eyes out because I knew and experienced things like that but never had anyone there to help or believe me, the way the renters pulled together was amazing! He’s the best writer director ever!!

@@merlinsowl9458 agreed!

HJO’s performance in AI had the same effect for me too. I watched that movie ONCE. I refuse to ever watch it again.

@@macthecabbie533 it was heart wrenching to watch even one time!

Yes! The music is a major character, especially in M. Night’s movies.

The music is underrated in this movie.

Such a handsome little guy, I love him in this movie.

@Lana Rhodes One of my favorite movies!

He is outstanding shorty fat character actor now.

@@spinoz2319 getting fat is something that can happen to almost anyone. There's no need to try and shame the guy for it.

@@bryanrussell6679 not shaming anyone, just saying the fact.

My lovely daughter blurted out that he was a ghost. She thought I had already seen it. I hadn't.

Well, not really because the old man was a bit out of it.

Whoa he was a ghost? I thought it was just badly edited! :-)

I think Bruce willis in the restaurant scene was a dead giveaway. A woman can't continuously ignore her hubby in such a way that was shown.

He bombed in the others. He tried to always have stories with a twist..after awhile it got old.

Wrong..his movie are deep.

Darker?

@Rhonda Bothelio It’s so funny that you say that.🤣 I, too, had to immediately rewatch it to make sure I understood it correctly. I really don’t know why that movie didn’t garner lots of awards… I thought the photography was excellent …it really created that eerie mood that pulled you into the story. And the writing was very skillful. Both the audience and Mickey Rourke’s character were being fed clues via a drip feed… it skillfully kept him and you confused. Talk about audience participation!! One of my all time favorite movies…. Rourke was at the top of his game.

@@maryscheitler2488 Yes….way darker! Perfect for the upcoming Halloween season.

@@MsKK909 I'll check it out

@@maryscheitler2488 I suggest you view it on a format which you can rewind or replay…because you’ll be saying to yourself, “Wait a minute! Did I miss something? What exactly was said then?” You and Mickey Rourke move through the film equally confused. I thought that was very clever writing.

emily endicott • So, I wasn't the only one! I loved that scene and looked for it in every showing after that to no avail. Of course I had thought he was dead from the start, so all those little clues just verified what I thought to begin with. You had to have figured it out from the wake, right, I mean he was there with all those people and no one wondered who he was or why a stranger was at this child's wake?

I saw it in theaters when it first came out and i remember the soldier scene. I guess cuts and uncuts happen at different points sometimes.

@@AliciaGuitar m

Same!!

@@AliciaGuitar He was also playing with the soldiers in the church

Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DVD extras!

The Others was also a great twist ending

I agree, this film, followed by "The Others", which was clever and heart -wrenching in its own unique way, but not as profound, human, beautiful, spiritual, and deeply moving as "The Sixth Sense".

I was kinda torn between HJO, and the other nominee with 3 names: Michael Clarke Duncan, for The Green Mile.

Michael Caine won (whom I adore) and he actually got up there and instead of making the usual speech, he humbly acknowledged everyone who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. After that, he singled out Hayley and being the English gentleman that Michael is, complimented him on his amazing performance at such a young age. He was in awe of him. ❤️

Exactly what I was thinking. It was odd for Malcolm to be in Mr.Marschall's house without introducing himself. The scene sort of gives away that Malcolm's a ghost.

Good point Mike , never thought of that but you might have got round it with a bit of editing of the script.

Totally.

But remember, it was the same situation when Malcolm was sitting with Cole's mother, we assumed they had been talking and were interrupted when Malcolm came through the door. Most of us quickly explained it away in our minds because like the great writer said, we have the, "see what we want to see" mentality which made his writing come alive on film! Another AMAZING movie by M. Knight Shyamalan!! ♥️👏👏👏🏆❤️

That's true. When I first saw the movie, I had an inkling of the twist during the scene where Malcolm and Cole's mother were sitting together in the living room -- but not talking. And, when she left the room to make triangle pancakes, she didn't acknowledge that she was leaving Cole to his session with Malcolm. This would have clinched it.

this would have been better if the scene were later in the movie and somehow the lack of interaction could be addressed. it's a good scene

@@larrychatfield It is a good scene. And, I like Mr. Marshall. He is sweet.

I guessed but I don’t remember how.

@@CadeD679 It was a good scene but I can see how why they had to cut it.

Yes. She was indeed nominated but unfortunately she didn’t win the award.

LOVED her. She will make me watch anything she’s in since this.

And for Hereditary!

Most filmmakers do.

❤️

So refreshingly honest! 🙂 (I’ve enjoyed watching “reaction” videos to it, especially a compilation.)

Yeah he was on the Hulu series with Josh hutcherson Future Man. His sister was on Hannah Montana

Al, may I introduce you to “Entourage” the movie. HJO is god awful in it…absolutely cringeworthy.

@@Copyingjoyce1207 Yeah the entire movie was off! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Still think he’s a good Actor. 🤠

He's been making small memorable parts in cool shows like Silicon Valley

i disagree, i think it was best mr marshal's scene was cut. when Willis' character is at cole's house scenes are set up to make you believe he has already been interacting with Cole's mother and now he's there soley to interact with Cole as his psychiatrist. At the wake you don't give much thought as to why no one was talking to Willis' character but in Mr Marshal's home its very perculiar. you just have this stange man in your house lurking in a corner and your not going to address it. Also, the scene takes away from the impact Willis' character has on Cole. in the final cut you have a terrified boy dealing with this horror and no one to confide in. Willis' character comes along and Cole starts to open up to him and Willis is able to direct him in a positive direction. to not be afraid of the ghosts but instead help them. Willis has managed to help Cole where he failed the other kid. he believed Cole and helped him build strategies to deal with his reality. at the end when Willis' ghost passes its fufilling to watch as a viewer because he was able to truly help Cole when he couldn't help the other kid and because he believed him he could see he is a ghost and say goodbye to his wife and move on.

Mr Marshal scene would have brought many people to understand too quickly what was going on.

Lol yes
