Sixth sense, is a landmark film. When it was first released it hit the headlines because of (10 yr old ) Haley Joel Osment whose critically acclaimed performance outshone Bruce Willis.
This suspense thriller is really about the young boy (haley joel) and the part played by Bruce Willis, and the dynamics and interactions.
On a deeper level it is about BELIEF, the supernatural, and appeals to our "wanting to believe-in the other-side" ghosts and so on.
The Director M night cleverly uses the color red throughout the film, to show how the physical and the spiritual worlds come into contact with each other!
For me what really raises this particular film above its peers, is how tightly it is directed, performed (from both its leading actors) and the fact that you actually care about the characters particularly towards the end.
I will not allow myself to spoil it for anyone, but sufficient it to say, the ending in "The sixth sense" is possible one of the most dramatic, and nerve shredding in modern cinema history.
The score throughout the piece is perfectly in keeping with the drama, and tension that oh-so cleverly builds and when you expect it to come to a crushendo it peters out, and blurts its ugly head with out warning!
It still remains in my top ten movies of all time!
