When The Sixth Sense was released 14-years ago, we had already seen some major film releases at the time; Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace, Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me and The Blair Witch Project; no matter what your opinion is on these amazing films, it’s still an experience you will never forget! Many of them were crowd splitting; you either love them or hate them.
The Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense are both horrors, but are very different in nature. The Blair Witch Project is designed to pull you in then scare the living socks off of you at the end! But the Sixth Sense is a psychological thriller that talks to you on such an emotional, psychological way that some big poignant dramas can only imagine! The director, M. Night Shyamalan takes advantage of the horror genre to subvert our expectations, we anticipate to be scared, and whilst screaming we are also touched by the truly sad events that happens to the main characters. It is incredibly rare to watch a thriller that makes you think and feel. The film is intelligent, well-acted, well-written and well-directed with a genuinely unexpected surprise twist that gives it the 4-star rating it definitely deserves.
The premise is that Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is a psychologist in Philadelphia and opens up with him receiving an award for outstanding work in the field of child psychology. Crowe and his wife go upstairs to celebrate when they are interrupted by an old patient who has broken into their home proving Dr. Crowe is not always successful. Vincent Gray (Donnie Wahlberg) is still scarred from his childhood events and blames Crowe, shoots him, then turns on himself. After fading to black the next title shows ‘Next Fall’ with Malcolm sitting on a bench awai...

...t reds nicely. Absolutely everything about the cinematography in this film is truly awe-inspiring; camera shots, camera angles, camera movement and lighting. Every single picture has such an astonishing point of detail that even something as elementary as the atmospheric condition or the semblance of a dress can make the picture even more astonishing. Editing is noteworthy, particularly the climax, which is captured perfectly. Although there is a little amount of CGI, when there finally is some, you are literally blown away by the level of realism. The music is haunting but not overly dramatic; in fact, most of the film is executed without any music at all. The music actually does add a layer of profundity that you just can’t achieve any other way. And Shyamalan directs the whole thing with a steady hand and is without a doubt, the best film of the twentieth-century.

Overall I like the movie because it is emotionally raw with a considerable amount of violence and action that isn’t senseless and is instead a product of the emotional rawness of it all. Also because the Ho Yay between Orange and White is considerable and it makes for a rather interesting watch.
The movie Guilty by Suspicion was not your average “action-packed” Matrix. In this movie, David Merrill (played by Robert DeNiro,) is a successful director. Everything seems to be fine, until his past starts catching up with him. Now he’s wanted for possibly being a Communist. As boring as this would sound to the average teenager, I actually liked it. Take for example the scene where he first sees his son. He gave him a brand new toy car and you could clearly see he loved his little boy. I liked this scene because it showed Mr. Merrill was a considerate and caring person…not a cold, raging beast. In another part of the movie when his friend Red had a sort of “breakdown” in her trailer, David came through for he...

Scene Analysis of The Sixth Sense In the film the Sixth Sense a young boy named Cole has paranormal contact with the dead. He can see things that other people cannot. namely the ghosts of the dead walking around him. The scene which I have chosen to analyse to answer my title is the scene where he is at school and brings up facts about what used to go there like people being hanged and eventually he erupts at this former pupil now teacher.
The 1948 Western Red River is a movie of action, romance and hardship. The main characters are Tom Dunson played by John Wayne, Wagon Driver Groot Nadine played by Walter Brennan and Adopted son of Dunson Matt Garth played by Montgomery Clift. This is a western that shows the first Cattle drive of the Chisholm Trail.
Enhancing the sustained fright of this film are an excellent cast, from which the director coaxes extraordinary performances, and Bernard Herrmann's chilling score. Especially effective is the composer's so-called "murder music," high-pitched screeching sounds that flash across the viewer's consciousness as quickly as the killer's deadly knife. Bernard Herrmann achieved this effect by having a group of violinists frantically saw the same notes over and over again.
This movie is beautiful to watch, yet difficult. It is raw, yet the cinematography is breath...
Modern day horror films are very different from the first horror films which date back to the late nineteenth century, but the goal of shocking the audience is still the same. Over the course of its existence, the horror industry has had to innovate new ways to keep its viewers on the edge of their seats. Horror films are frightening films created solely to ignite anxiety and panic within the viewers. Dread and alarm summon deep fears by captivating the audience with a shocking, terrifying, and unpredictable finale that leaves the viewer stunned. (Horror Films)
With the help of superb editing, sound, mise en scene, and cinematography, this film cannot be topped. The fist scene of the movie creates an atmosphere that helps the viewer know that he/she will enjoy this wonderful classic. Throughout the movie there are surprises and fun that makes this a movie that people will want to watch again and again. Gene Kelly said it best when he said, "Dignity, always dignity. " That is what this movie has from beginning to end, dignity.
There are large amounts of foreshadowing in the film The Sixth Sense. Some people might only catch a few. Some of the examples are very quick and harder to be seen if you aren’t paying close attention. There is also a big plot twist at the end that all the foreshadowing leads up to. The three main foreshadowing points involves Coles hospital visit, Malcolm's anniversary, and Malcolm's wife.
...en in the form of black and white. The movie was able to hold on to my gaze through all the suspense. I enjoyed the score composed by Bernard Herrmann in the film because it would hint at something that might happen and I felt myself tense up whenever the music came on. The characters were relatable and incidences that occurred in the film were realistic, which made the movie more comprehendible. I would warn people about how mind-boggling the film gets after the shower scene because everything afterwards becomes very fast paced. I feel the viewer would need time to think about the film and pausing is a must in order to fully understand what is going on. I would recommend this film to suspense lovers especially because Psycho is one of Hitchcock’s greatest works of art. I am glad I chose this movie to watch because the movie was well sorted out and very engaging.
Baz Luhrmann has done this film in a unique and brilliant way, with help of the above, and of course a great loved story as a base.
In my own opinion I think this film is great. I think this because it
