The Sixth Sense (DVD)

If anyone was wondering what the seventh sense is, well in my opinion it is being able to judge movies. The Sixth Sense is a spine chilling, exciting movie with several twists in. Bruce Willis is the main character and he leads the movie into one of the best of its type. The Plot -------- The Sixth Sense is being able to see ghosts and in this ovie Bruce Willis is working with a small boy who can see ghosts. He is terrified and very shy. Bruce ...
...This seems odd when seeing the film. It is hard to explain what the plot is about and why the characters react the way they do without spoiling the plot. They become good friends and they start to relate to each other, telling each other about past experiences. The boy has several scary experiences, for example being locked up in a cupboard with a dead person. Eventually, working together as a team the young boy,(who has now moved on to be in several ...

...and enchant throughout. The film starts with Willis brilliantly portraying acclaimed child psychologist Dr. Mackin Crowe,who for once had failed in helping a child under his care, resulting in a frightening chain of events. We are then invited to observe the highly fascinating story of Mackin Crowe's complex relationship with a seemingly disturbed child played by Haley Joel Osmond. Willis acts both convincingly and with strength of purpose, Osmond's ...
...class acting performances that give the film its quality and uniqueness. The enigmatic boy has psychic abilites which introduce him to a world which is frightening, beyond the realms of possibility, too horrible to share with anyone else, until he meets his psychologist. In him the boy develops a real sense of trust and they develop a stong rapport which stretches beyond reality, he finally is able to describe the endless journey into hell that takes ...

...and coming young director, Shyamalan. The movie gained six Oscar nominations and was a surprise blockbuster as its release coincided with the release of many other great movies of the year. The general plot Dr Crowe is a child psychologist who is shot by a former patient who then commits suicide. Traumatized by this apparent failure to help this former patient, Dr Crowe is determined not to fail Cole Sear (played by young and talented Haley Osment. ...

As the movie progresses we begin to sense that there are other forces at work other than Cole being a disturbed young child. The movie features a wicked twist at the end, although if you watch the movie closely you will see the tell tale signs. The direction Perhaps not very evident from the movie, the direction ...

...enjoyed it so much. The film starts with Malcom (Bruce Willis) , a child physcologist returning home after an award ceremony to find one of his patients from some years ago has broken into his home. This ends up a bit messy, with poor old Malcom taking a bullet to the stomach. Seemingly all goes well, as the next year he is up and about and making friends with a young boy named Cole, who becomes one of his patients. Cole is hiding a dark seceret ...

After a while of getting to know Cole, Malcom has gained his trust enough to learn his dark seceret.... He can see DEAD PEOPLE mmmm strange....... So as the film progresses we see cole trusting in Malcom more and more, and Malcom trying his best to believe in what Cole is trying to get across. All ...

...film comes along which transcends the normal standard movie level and becomes something special, either because it strikes a chord with audiences or is just so well conceived and executed that it just stands out from the godawful mediocre masses. I wasn’t expecting that sort of impact when I sat down (quite grumpily because Mrs D had been nagging me all night) to watch ‘The Sixth Sense’ on Sky Movies. I’d heard a few bits about it and seen some of ...
...bit run of the mill, so I was definitely not expecting to finish up as astounded as I now am… THIS IS A TRULY WONDERFUL FILM which will live long in the memory and have a lasting impact on its audience. I’ve got absolutely no intention of giving away any clues as to the amazing twist in the tail of this little gem because it’ll ruin the whole thing for you if you know what happens, so I’ll try to keep my comments on the content down to the bare ...

...review, "The Sixth Sense" is the best time that I'd had at a movie theater in ages. That said, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's for entirely different reasons. Dr. Crowe (Bruce Willis) is an esteemed pediatric psychologist that is given the task of counseling tiny, nervous, disturbed Cole (played by Oscar-nominated Haley Joel Osment). Cole's mother is divorced, works two jobs, and misses her mother terribly. That's important, for ...
...what is often lost in the indisputably fair, goose-pimply 'you got me' surprise ending, is that this film is a beautifully written and filmed drama about the terror of childhood, the importance of strong parental figures, and the fear of not being as good as you should be. M. Night Shymalan makes his big-budget directorial debut with a film that is unbelievably polished. It reminded me visually of a Kubrick, but if this is Kubrick, it's a Kubrick ...

Moving away from the current trend of effects laden extravaganzas, we are taken back to the very basics of what makes a good movie, the storytelling. Here we are given a new perspective of what goes on all around us. An intriguing concept, and one which echoes many peoples beliefs. We get to experience the same world as the central character who possesses the "sixth sense" of the title, questionably a gift, more often a curse that allows him ...
...fact contains two worlds; the world of the dead, and the world of the living, coexisting. Tormented and shunned for having this ability, the character is introduced to a psychologist (played by Bruce Willis), whose previous attempts to help a similar case failed tragically. The movie takes us through the discovery, the sharing and finally the acceptance of this "sixth sense", culminating in one final twist as we finally learn how everything ...

...shouldn't be reading reviews on The Sixth Sense!!! It spoils it! Anything you know about this film is too much. I wont cover the story here at all, that you have to go watch the film yourself to find out. Though I find it hard to believe that anyone has missed this film yet, as it's possibly one of the best films in a long time. It manages to be scary without going all out for thrills. The acting is great, though the kid actor is a little too confident ...

M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE was released in the summer of 1999 to great success and incredulous fans, incredulous as to how brilliant the film is, how clever and fantastic and… A child psychologist has his home robbed. He is shot and then witnesses the robber's suicide, who was a former patient of his. Several months later the psychologist appears recovered, but his life is anything but back on track as his marriage is on the verge of collapsing. ...
...even touch each other. At the same time a troubled young boy, lonely and tormented, confesses that he sees dead people. Cue the psychologist as he tries to help the boy, to find some meaning in his own ruined life and so redeem himself. A synopsis of THE SIXTH SENSE has to be short in order to not give too much of the plot away, which would completely ruin the only worthy thing the film has to offer, a clever twist ending. As surprising and thoroughly ...

The Sixth Sense "Not Every Gift Is A Blessing" The first time I saw the trailer for this film, I thought, "You What?" and was somewhat confused to say the least. It sounded like a pretty complicated concept. (Well complicated for me anyway, as I have the IQ of a pea) Anyway, I was extremely interested because the trailer was a particularly well made one. It was more of a teaser than a trailer because I saw it about two months before the film was ...
...the films, don't you agree?) Anyway, this film is absolutely brilliant! It stars Bruce Willis as a distinguished child psychologist who is haunted by a disturbing memory of a child he was once not able to cure. This haunts him in quite a large way as you will find by watching the film. Anyway, when he meets Cole Sear, a confused and frightened 8-year old with a similar condition, Dr. Malcolm Crowe, (Bruce Willis) sets out to redeem himself by doing ...

...purchasing "Star Wars, Episode One, The Phantom Menace" (even George Lucas' title is pretentiously long), so we were ripe for anything with good acting and neat plot twists. I am sure if we had picked up "Wild, Wild West" we would have been pleased. So, my review may be somewhat tainted. Haley Joel Osment plays Cole as a little boy who is intense and scared, a walking molatov cocktail just waiting for a match to walk by. Always concerned not to worry ...
...like how he waits out the storm when the room grows cold, warning him of a new visitor. Bruce Willis' Doctor Crowe is also well-played. There is a calm to him that helps Cole render his horrifying world in a safe way. This is a man who is not a father -- but is obviously played by a father who has a knack with children. The chemistry between Willis and Osment is warm and poignant throughout. Throughout the film, there are unifying mechanisms that ...

...am not brave enough for the sense the little boy in “The Sixth Sense” has. Uh-uh, -I pass. This movie opens in the home of a child psychologist named Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) and his wife, Anna (Olivia Williams). They are having a private evening at home with a bottle of wine, after the doctor receives an award for his work with kids. They move upstairs for something more intimate. What they find a broken window and a hysterical ...
...The whole encounter ends violently. It is a year later and Dr. Crow encounters Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osmont), who is a lot like this Vincent Grey. Crow figures this kid, like Vincent, is just not adjusting to his parents’ divorce. But Cole has a big secret. Turns out that he is psychic and it is freaking him out badly. These ghosts go as far as to scratch and bruise him. But Dr. Crow has a secret too. Sorry, you’ll just have to see the ...

The feeling of the film is wonderful, and the DVD really adds to the beautiful tension and atmosphere it creates. The DVD has loads of very watchable extras, like missing scenes, and interviews with the director and maker. The film is in great condition, and the picture quality is amazing. What is best though, is the use of ...

...here is about to save the earth or fight off innumerable bad guys in order to avenge something or other which everyone forgets by the end of the mindless violence. This is instead an intense psychological thriller of the highest order. Willis plays Dr Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist scarred by the memory of a former patient who commit suicide in his home after misdiagnosed his condition. When he discovers an eight year old boy named Cole Sear ...
...To reveal much more of the plot would be to do you a substansive injustice as this really is one of those films that benefits from you knowing as little about it as possible. Suffice to say that you will be rivetted to your seat throughout. Willis as always plays his part well, even though his persona seems to change little from one film to the next here at least he fits the part. But he is easily overshadowed by the diminutive figure of Haley Joel ...
