Chris Stuckmann reviews The Sixth Sense, starring Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
It's true that Bruce Willis' character never interacts with anyone else, but you don't even notice watching it for the first time. Just brilliant.
One thing I noticed as well is that Cole never saw the gun shot wound because Bruce Willis always kept his jacket on around him, covering the wound
I noticed the first time because I was spoiled :^)
I wonder if Cole knew that Malcom was actually dead
@Jim A its not as simple as you think, people believe what they want to and once they make up their mind that Malcolms alive almost every instance of him onscreen will affirm that belief
@Jim A Same here jim
My mom really loves this movie. She told me I should watch it. Then told me all the twists. I've never seen this movie, but as she's telling me I should watch it, she tells me, "It's about this little boy who can see ghosts, and there's this woman who's poisoning her daughter and he sees the daughter's ghost, and there's this therapist who's a ghost but we don't know it yet, and-". As a result, I don't think I'll be asking her for movie recommendations anymore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg😅😂😂😂
Did you finally watch it?
Oh my Lord my mom did the same! Very strange..
She literally just spoiled everything. It's such a good thinking horror movie from the beginning I new that the therapist was a ghost and was trying to help the kid with his struggles of seeing dead people. The dead people wanted help from the child the whole time the girl that got poisoned wanted to tell Cole something and the girl never meant to scare him she was asking for help.
This review really makes me wonder how a director can go from creating a masterpiece like The Sixth Sense, to a catastrophe like The Last Airbender.
MrBWhite88 I think it is easy. Shyamalan can make supernatural thrillers but not fantasy action epics.
sleiek Isn't The Village (kind of), Lady In The Water & The Happening also supernatural thrillers. I want to say he could make 2 great/good supernatural thrillers cause the rest kinda sucks.
MrBWhite88 Easy. He just stops trying.
Even directors can be one-hit wonders. Not to mention that the latter is an adaptation as opposed to most of his work.
The movie sucked. But the show and books are good 😤😤😤😤😤
This is one of the greatest movies of all time
Mc Dabs No.
meh , it was alright
therobulus Yeah, i agree. Amazing performances, okay plot, but nothing special. Terrible twist by the way.
@@isakdahl7054 nice troll
Rony Ni Okay. I respect your opinion of course, but am I not allowed to have mine?
The fifth element
The sixth sense
The seventh son
Man this series is all over the place
Super 8, and then 9, The Ten Commandments,
Danex21 However Seventh Son is major bullshit
Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen.
Scott Sandler You forgot 8 1/2
Danex21 Wait what was the original quadrology then?
The shocking twist was the guy who had hair... HE WAS BRUCE WILLIS THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!
XD
lol Charlie
Eloy Jaime LOL
Eloy Jaime That gy in the hair piece was Bruce Willis?!?! Whhhaaaa? Can I eat my SPAghetti when I watch it?
Hello Charlie, how's phili?
This is truly one of my favorite films, and I think the scene with Cole and his mother in the car is one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Everything about it is perfect!
Talking about the bumblebee pendant the grandmother takes when she visits Cole. Cole giving his mom closure about her actually seeing her dance at her recital ("She said you looked like an angel"). The answering his moms question to her mom at the cemetery ("Every day"). God I bawl like a fucking baby just typing this. That scene is indeed one of the best in history of film.
Toni Collette. Incredible acting in this movie!!
That car scene with his son is heartbreaking emotional 😢
I agree with you. Emotional scene. Very convincing acting.
DavyDevilution yes! That scene in the car... wow
She was amazing in Hereditary too
toni collette is spectacular in everything
Stuart Little was written by M Night? I'm shocked
Antonio Rosenburg What? you didn't notice Stuart was really a human and the people were mice. it was a really random ending
+Fisherstick He was the humanest of them all.
What a twist!
Antonio Rosenburg True
+Antonio “Tony” Rosenburg i just figured that out
There are many little moments that you may miss if you're not paying attention.
For example, when Cole is in a train to go to the funeral, he looks through the window to see the different buildings, and when the train passes by a cemetery, he looks away, frightened.
Knowing that long ago people got unknowingly buried alive, it's kind of chilling to think what Cole might have seen there.
Why only buried alive people? Why not all those dead people..
@@Pranav-rp8wi exactly
@Zeus Because spirits that linger don’t usually hang around in graveyards. They hang out where they died or spent most their time or around people they care about. Why would they hang out in the graveyard?
@@74Spyderman Especially if they don't know they're dead, they wouldn't go to the graveyard in the first place
That's why they put strings attached to bells back then in the coffins just to make sure they weren't dead.
1999 was such a good year for film.
probably because everyone thought the world was ending
Daniel Plainview Yes and no, because Stanley Kubrick died that year...
@Northern Lights wow
The 90’s was such a great decade for film.
For me it was 2006
The Sixth Sense: A+
Unbreakable: A+
Signs: B
The Village: B-
Lady in the Water: D
The Happening: D-
The Last Airbender: F -
After Earth: D
The Visit: B-
Split: A
Split is better than unbreakable.
In my opinion, signs beats them all
The Visit is easily a D
The happening is better than lady in the water and After Earth lol , wtf.
@@gamernoah1232 That's a joke right?
I was watching The Gift today right, and one of the trailers was his horror movie called The Visit. Very intriguing trailer and at the end of the trailer it said DIRECTED BY M NIGHT SHYAMALAN. At this exact moment people groaned and laughed and someone said "awww, nevermind." Lmfao it was very funny, poor M Night.
Even if I hate the guy for the last airbender I want to see him redeem himself cause I feel bad for him he needs to make good movies cause he does have potential
ChrisTheCreed The same thing happened at my theater... I have faith in him, though!
iPermanently I agree on both Points. ..a real shame because I loved that series..and yeah, like I said, the trailer for the visit looked interesting, hopefully it's decent
ChrisTheCreed I will watch the movie, because even after he destroyed my childhood show Avatar, I believe Shyamalan can save... himself
That happened to me while watching mission impossible 5, they showed the 13 hours trailer and as soon as it said directed by Michael bay everyone just said nevermind
We have to stop meeting like this, Chris. Its almost 2am and some of us have jobs to go to goddammit
Soooooo go to bed?
osskeet Why would you make that a question?
Buddy Groove Its like saying "why don't you go to bed?"
Then why are you watching RUclips at 2am
+Vince Villanueva Elite Scruffy is clearly just messing around.
I saw this in 19 and only remembered the jump scares. I watched it again at 41, didn't go into it as a horror film, and I found it beautiful and emotionally devastating. I also didn't remember Toni Colette's role and she was absolutely brilliant, the most natural acting I have ever seen her do. I am not diminishing her other roles and without a doubt, I think she is fantastic, but she blew me away.
I like it when David and Cole are having their last conversation after the play, and Cole says, "I'm not going to see you anymore, am I?"
Porfle Popnecker David?
@@28stabwounds92 think he got the unbreakable protagonist and the sixth sense protagonist confused since both are played by Willis ha
The scene in that tent with the pegs slowly being pulled off and then the girl with the sick coming from her mouth absolutely terrified me as a kid.
rockinchimp that still terrifies me
I thought the part where she hands Cole the vhs tape was scarier cause she was just blankly staring at him
@@MrSaurus that WAS a scary scene all the creepy puppets in the room didn't help either! lol
@@MrSaurus Same me too
Why wouldn't he be a nice guy just because he's made some bad movies?
Ewe Boll is one of the worst directors of all time and he's a complete A-hole. We base our assumptions of directors based on their work.
Why? That's a dumb assumption. Similarly, if someone is a great movie maker, it doesn't automatically make them a nice person.
***** I mean we assume that the director's work reflects their personality. One of my favorite directors, Quentin Tarantino, makes violent, stylized movies. As a kid, he watched a lot of different kinds of movies. As a director, he incorporated some of his favorite elements into his movies as a homage. Of course, sometimes films don't reflect their directors ( Francis Ford Coppola made Jack) , but sometimes it's right.
***** maybe its just one of those things we mention when we meet someone in person. Maybe people were intrigued if he was an egomaniac or something like that.
***** I've been Stuckmannized.
Ok, so I watched it tonight. Was blown away by how good the movie was and baffled by the fact that it is shown so clearly from the first few scenes where malcolm gets shot, that he is dead. I even thought to myself, no could survive that or at least not without permanent damage. And even with this doubt in mind, which lasted about 5 min, I still got tricked into thinking he survived it. Well if a movie can achieve that much engagement into the story out of me, I say well done! Also the kid's performance was indeed out of this world. Never seen anything like it!
This movie made me cry
Ah, Shyamalan before he was Shyamalan. God, I miss those days. Seriously, what happened to this guy?
I know right. I think his ego got to him. Think about it, he made The Sixth Sense before he got super famous. Unbreakable, one of my favorite movies of all time, was made when people were first calling him a genius. Next thing you know, he's on the cover of Newsweek being called the "Next Steven Spielberg". Of course that would go to your head and that's the point his movies started going downhill. I really wanted him to become one of the greats, it hurts me even more when the man that made two of my favorite movies,Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense, made the Last Airbender, probably the movie I hate the most (besides Dragon Ball Evolution)
***** Except he put a twist in Unbreakable and it's now considered by many (including Tarantino) to be his best film. Signs (my personal favourite, as it is for Chris I think) doesn't really have a twist and is also now received very well . After The Village (arguably his last good movie), the only movie with a twist is The Happening and even then it's not really a twist.
D Vass To be fair, I saw his new film 'The Visit' at a sneak preview and it's way better than his last few. Still not great, but a big improvement.
What about Wayward Pines? Any thoughts? Besides Wayward and Stanford rhyming thus teasing a Gravity Falls spinoff?
Ego
I'm a simple man, I go on RUclips, I see Chris Stuckmann in my subscription feed, I click on it, I watch it, I like it, I comment on it, and then I continue on with another video.
This movie truly is everything. I mean the acting alone is just phenomenal. Toni Colette, ugh, just rips my heart out every single time when I see the bumblebee scene, ugh. And Osment, no words. The kid deserved an Oscar, hands down.
The Sixth Sense keeps the viewer in the dark to an unexpected plot twist longer than any movie I've ever seen and make the twist still credible and consistent. When you go back to watch it a second time ( and EVERYONE does) to see if you could have picked it up, you find that every scene maintains the credibility. It was genius level...
I re watched again the other day after about twenty years.
And then I watched it again.
Now I'm watching reviews of it now on youtube.
Amazing movie
Bruce Willis breaks my heart
I find a lot of movies fall apart when you rewatch it and know the twist. I recently rewatched this movie and even though I knew the twist the movie still works. I was able to watch it as a story about a ghost trying to help a child use and understand his gift and work through his trauma, and in doing so also helped Bruce Willis's character to write the wrong of his past
Can we get a pulp fiction review??!??
He might do that leading up to The Hateful Eight.
Been waiting for one from him for ages xD
I double dog dare him to review it.
Sasaki Kojirō he should just do a review of all tarantino films, the way he did for david fincher and now shyamalan
I am putting money on that fact that he'll do this before The Hateful Eight comes out
I love this movie. It's a shame what happened to Shyamalan. I wish he could still make movies like this
GuitarGod Gaming He probably still can, so I hope he does before he stops making movies. Maybe along the way early in his career he kind of psyched himself out somewhat because of his success - some rewiring of the mind or something lol - he's obviously talented if he made the Sixth Sense, you don't write and direct something like that based on luck. I don't know what could have happened with him, and he might not understand it either. Hard to say what's on the guy's mind, and I've seen interviews of him and he seems like a really nice guy. People are quick to throw him under the bus because of his later bad films, but I still appreciate all the ones I liked and loved just as much. I want a redemption story with his career...
GuitarGod Gaming Actually, he does and that's the problem. He always follows the same formula and that is the completely out of nowhere twist towards the end. And that works once and surprises everybody, it also works a second time, this time it isn't longer that surprising but you as the audience feel good because you saw the twist or at least a twist coming, which makes you feel clever. But when you do it a third time, it's becoming to get stale and Shyamalan never really stopped with it. Plus Shyamalan is like Lucas in the sense that he seemlingly knows the story he wants to tell but he doesn't know how to tell it and so it becomes pretty stale.
Mario Quade None of his other films are anywhere near as well executed as The Sixth Sense though. Unbreakable comes close but everything else, eeehhhh.
Mario Quade Really only a few of his movies follow the twist formula. The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and The Village. And the Village's twist wasn't even at the end.
So why do people keep saying he uses a twist formula when he really doesn't? And hasn't since 2004.
Then again I haven't seen any of his films since The Last Airbender.
*****
He again uses it in "After Earth" and I haven't seen any other Shyamalan movies, but see, all his major movies used this device, since it was succesfull once! And probably the only reason for not using it in "The Last Airbender" was that it was an adaptation and he really couldn't use a big twist ending.
At the scene when Cole is in front of his room and sees that boy with the back of the head busted I went on you tube and typed in cute puppies. True Story
Hey, come on, I'll show you where my Dad keeps his gun.
If you thought that was bad, maybe just stay away from reddit 50/50
r/eyebleach
Agree 100%
Sixth Sense really is a genius creation.
You should analyse the Kubrick films. I'd love to see what you say about Eyes Wide Shut, Clockwork Orange, etc.
steezenuggets yes exactly
steezenuggets The Shining !!
Great idea
steezenuggets I really want to hear his thoughts on A Clockwork Orange. That's a film that can be interpreted in a number of different ways.
And Dr Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
1999 was also the year of American Beauty and Fight Club :) brilliant year for movies.
Ninaofthe90s matrix...
Everybody thought the world was gonna end when we hit the millennium at the year 2000.
So directors and movie studios wanted to go out with a bang and make the best movies ever haha

@@tricko8000 The dark knight is pretty much a crime drama. And the dark knight is overrated in my opinion.
@@bookeblade how is The Dark Knight overrated kid? Have you watched the film.
This has to be one of my favorite reviews of yours, Chris. The Sixth Sense has always been one of my favorite films, and you perfectly explained every single amazing aspect of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I re-watched this a few days ago and I know I'd probably noticed it before but I don't know why, it really hit hard this time around and I had a little sob moment come out. After Cole's play, when he's he's in the staircase playing with the fake sword, you can see him gathering up the courage to say "I figured out a way for you to talk to your wife" or something. And a few minutes later he says "I'm not going to see you again, am I?"
You KNOW he was gathering up the courage to let Dr. Malcolm go. You KNOW he knew he was giving Malcolm the tool to actually move on, like he's been doing with the other ghosts. And when he asks if they can just pretend he's going to see him again broke my heart.
And I will NOT, I categorically refuse to talk about the moment in the car when he's talking about the bumblebee pendant. I will not talk about it. So don't ask.
Oh there, you go, you didn't even ask and I want to sob like a baby.
Great review
He definitely knew but he also knew he didn't need him anymore and he most certainly wanted to do something for the man who could change his life so massively.
Wow, great notice
The mother poisoning her daughter messed me up so hard when I saw this movie at 15 I didn't watch another horror movie until I was 22
I remember catching this for the first time on netflix back in 2012 i think, and somehow id managed to never find anything out about it till i watched it, and it lived up to the hype and thoroughly suprised me. I was not expecting that ending at all. Im glad i was never spoiled on this one, its one of those story telling experiences that stays with you you know.
Chris really knows how to keep me from going to bed.
Thanks for the A+ It deserves this. :)
In my opinion:
The Sixth Sense: A
Unbreakable: A+
Signs: B+
The Village: A-
Lady in the Water: C-
The Happening: D- (Because it's absolutely hilarious.)
The Last Airbender: F
After Earth: D+
The Visit: B-
Landon Wilson Split-A
he knows lady in the water is a joke. HE WROTE IT AS A JOKE. are you fucking blind??? its A+ material comedy
Daniel Williams he wrote it for his kids
Landon Wilson where's split
@ Joshua the comment is 4 months old.....
I’ll never forget when I saw the twist for the first time. Literally had to watch it again immediately after.
My jaw was on the floor
The whole theater went "whoooa!".
I felt like falling through the floor.
@@samsoh93I was like, "no way!"
I just watched the movie with my girlfriend for the first time and in the ending I was like "wait, didn't he talk with the boy's mother when they were sitting next to each other"... but no, not at all. I really love you're Reviews and everytime after I watched a good movie I have to watch your review in the case I missed something! Just like The Sixth Sense! Never noticed that the color red has a special meaning or that the chair in the restaurant never moves. You probably are never going to read this comment but if you do, I just want to thank you for for your videos!
Many greetings from Germany!
Who else thinks that Chris should actually attempt at making a movie? I mean he knows so much about them and seems to know exactly what points are wrong and cliche in a film. I reckon since he is always rooting for movies to change, he should make one himself. It'd probably be A+
Well said
Well he did compare his love for movies to the guys passion for drums in whiplash
Well, sports analysts can't be players..
It may depend on how the person handles the project themselves. I know a BookTuber who is also a book reviewer and makes good critical points on the books she reviews thus gaining loads of fans. She then wrote a book, got it published and... it's not *that* bad but it's not good either.
And now he did ;)
I always get teary eyed when I watch this movie at like 13 different scenes, never fails every time. The directing, camera work, acting, and story is so well thought out.
This movie broke my heart, it's such a masterpiece. The "you were never second" scene in particular melted me into a puddle.
3:38"Every great film should seem new every time you see it."Roger Ebert.
I forgot how much I liked this movie. Might be time for a rewatch.
So rewatch it? Nobody really cares...
My favorite part in the movie was when the mother was looking at all of her photos of her son, and noticing that in every photo, he's looking at that tiny little speck that the camera picked up.... It was a ghost!
Ghost of his grandma most likely
I havent read any comments but I bet someone is going to make a joke about Shyamalan's name saying Shyamalamalamlaman or something.

Still M. Night's best movie. I remember both the audience's collective horrified reaction at the funeral tape and their collective "oh my God" when the twist dropped. My jaw was on the floor, but once it sank in, I started crying.
I really really REALLY hope that "The Visit" is a return to form for Shyamalan.
Jorge Ordorica Let's hope "The Visit" is worthy of a revisit. :D
+RB Gamer haha lol
I found out the plot twist at the end... Mehh
bannokelly18 A plot twist? In a M. Night Shyamalan movie? NO FUCKING WAY.
lol ikr? its hard to believe XD
One of my favorite scenes was when Cole reveals his secret.The music and creepy atmosphere were brilliant.
The restaurant scene is amazing once you re watch it your in aww
The movie that started my love of M.Night. Still love him to this day. 😃✌🏽
This movie is great, but his best for me is Unbreakable. Mr. Glass is such a great character, the scene with the son pointing the gun at Bruce Willis was so tense. I can watch Unbreakable forever. The Sixth Sense maybe once or twice a year.
If I had a time machine I would love to watch this movie one more time for the first time. The scene where the father discovers his wife was slowly killing their daughter is case in point: it was a packed theater and everyone...EVERYONE gasped. The air pressure dropped in that room and I cried like a baby. So powerful. So many scenes like this one. It's also why I can only re-watch it once about every three years. It's such an emotion packed movie, and it's that because it is not pulling your heartstrings to manipulate you. It merely tells you the story and I love that. You don't need manipulation when you have such solid story and style. If M,Knight never has another movie hit this one is breathtaking and ranks as one of my favorites. If I could only have 20 movies on my shelf, this would be one.
I just watched this movie and went straight to see Stuckman’s review. Omg this movie was PERFECTION👌
Even though M. Night Shyamalan has been making horrendous movies lately you still cannot deny The Sixth Sense is an excellent horror classic. I really hope he starts stepping his game up and showing us some more unique movies.
The two major scenes for me were the family/daughter scene and the ending scene featuring Mother/son in the car during the traffic/accident. Outstanding! I got emotional just thinking about those two scenes. I didn’t even have to watch those scenes. I just remembered them because those two scenes were the most memorable/stand out scenes from the film to me.
My aunt was almost lynched in a theater when she screamed out, “Oh, my god, he’s dead!”....a few people actually yelled at her 😂. If I’d been M. Night, I’d have been so convinced that I’d given it away by some of those scenes...like with his wife, she says NOTHING to him, yet we don’t get that he’s dead. She could even have had a line...I probably would have given her a line just to cement the illusion. Maybe she says something like, “I’m not doing this,” where we think she’s talking to Bruce...but it’s just to herself. Also, when the camera is zooming in on Bruce’s face when Cole says he sees dead people...I just assumed that Bruce’s character was thinking, “Wow, this kid is more f’d up than I thought!” I think that’s what most people assumed. So brilliantly done. Especially that scene with mom and Bruce sitting in the living room. You just assume they’d been talking! On follow up viewings, I notice that at one point, Cole looks towards his mother in the kitchen...as if he’s thinking, “I hope she doesn’t hear me talking to...nobody.” Every scene in this film is perfect.
sign543 She does 'speak to him'. In the restaurant when she says: Happy anniversary, then quickly leaves.
@@shirleymental4189 She muttered it to herself. People do that all the time. Especially, when they are or feel alone.
Split has catapulted shyamalan back to the A-list
oh wow I will have to see that movie!
I don't know if you guys noticed it but when I watch this movie for the first time,I had a little thought that when Bruce Willis was shot at the first, suddenly a cut comes showing Philadelphia and Bruce Willis is following a little kid, on that scene all I had in my mind is why there is no text that shows "X Years Earlier" because he was shot there is no way he can come like that, I thought Shymalan assumed the audience to be smart enough to get it as it's the past they are showing and I ended my thinking about that, But..............
.....................
After completing the movie, Man it Makes Fucking Sense.
Go back to _"I see dead people"_ scene and notice Cole's eyes shift down and hover over Malcolm's bullet wound before he reveals it. Just another terrifying subtlety.
Cole DIDN'T KNOW. I don't know how people can think that.
When the kid says 'They don't know they're dead', I went 'OH SHIT!', I got it right away. Before seeing the movie, I was told that the ending was surprising, that detail can go a long way.
That realization early on made you more perceptive than 90% of us during the 1st viewing. Good catch!
@@beargunn7820
It was a bit like that for me - I knew beforehand that there was a big twist, but not what it was.
I was therefore watching carefully to try to figure it out before the reveal (constantly wanting to show off how clever I am has sadly always been a weakness of mine).
It's been a long time since I saw it and I don't remember a lot of it very clearly, but I know it was during one of the scenes at the school when I leaned over to my buddy in the cinema and whispered, "I think Bruce Willis is a ghost!"
It took me a while to get there, but I was early enough that I got to feel pretty smug for the rest of the night...
@@stickiedmin6508 Good catch! Most of us were left to face-palm in chagrin suddenly realizing Bruce Willis was a ghost all along and all the Easter Eggs Shyamalan had laid along the path to clue us in. Great movie!
@@beargunn7820
Well, like I said, it's only because I had advance warning that something clever and shocking was coming - if I'd gone in blind, I'd have been caught just like everyone else.
It wasn't until close to the end that I started to catch on and think back over earlier scenes to see if the theory held.
The direction, editing and storytelling really were *_that good._*
Only fault I can really lay with movies like this one is that after I've seen them once, been surprised (or figured it out and patted myself on the back), and watched them a second time to check everything, repeat viewings just don't really appeal to me.
I'm holding out hope that somewhere in the future, some super genius is going to invent a drug or some kind of device that allows you to temporarily erase or block specific things from your memory.
It would mean that every time you watched your favourite flick, it would be just like the first time. That there is a Nobel Prize just _waiting_ to happen.
Exactly the same happened with me lol😂
the deleted scenes were good too.. the extended ending more impactful. there is a kid when Cole finds photo albums or books for an old man as a favor for his dead wife who he forgot passed away... i wish none of these scenes were deleted
there was also supposedly a deleted scene where Cole sees a bunch of badly mangles bodies in a hospital I really want to see that scene! But I can't find it anywhere! I think it was cut out because adding that scene would have made the movie more of a straight up horror movie or something like that but I REALLY want to see it now! Something sorta weird is LONG before I even KNEW there was a creepy deleted hospital scene or even before I had actually even seen the movie (I was a kid when it came out and my mom wouldn't let me see it till a few years after it's release but I knew it was about a boy who sees dead people) but ya back when I was a kid when the movie first came out I actually had a dream about it and in the dream Haley Joel Osment was in this creepy hospital and there were all these dead people it was such a creepy vivid dream that I still remember it too this day. And then I watched the movie and of course there was no dead people in the hospital scene but then I find out about twenty years later after my dream that there actually WAS a hospital scene but it got cut out sorta weird! haha!
What you say at minute 8:00 is so true. Reminds me of "Rosmaries Baby", when she sees herself in the reflection of the chromed toaster, realizing she is eating raw meat. Or "Don’t Look Now" where the mother is hurting the child in a family video, putting the wrong shoes on, left and right switched.
I was at the edge of my couch watching this movie on tv. My god what a briliant movie.
Chris I really like and appreciate your review here. You hit the nail on the head with your insights. I agree with you too that this is Bruce's best role. He really conveyed deep sadness and so much empathy in this role. One of my favourite movies. And Haley was amazing in this role.
This is a masterpiece of movie! The thrill, the characters, the actors, the film technique, the music, the twist and the simplicity!
This movie is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time! The most beautiful movie one can watch.
Every one in this movie was on another level.... One of the best films of recent times. Even the xtras were all in top form.
The car scene with Toni was oscar work very well acted
Considering M. Night was responsible for this and unbreakable and others, don't you think its reasonable to assume then rather than get lucky with a few good movies that other things behind the scenes were partially responsible for why his recent movies haven't been all that great? And that's even overlooking the fact that every artist makes something that just isn't good because art is not consistent, it has so many variables that hinge on its success that to expect him to make consistently amazing movies is unreasonable. The Sixth Sense wasn't an accident.

The process behind making a movie is massively complicated and its easy to blame M. Night for things that others were responsible for. A lot of people say that Star Wars 1-3 was successful due to people behind the scenes and Lucas got all the credit. Then the new Star Wars films come out, they say Lucas has complete control and they are awful. We don't know the kinds of things that went on with the Last Airbender, but M. Night will be given all the credit or all the blame.
And George Lucas did for all 6 star wars movies. 3 are some of the best movies ever made and some would say the other 3 are total garbage.
Josef Hautala
What are you talking about? George Lucas is writer and director for all 6 star wars movies. And you just proved my point, people behind the scenes can make a movie or break a movie. Who is to say they didn't break his recent movies? There is far more to a successful movie than just being writer and director, its a huge machine and that machine can produce a bad product if its not all working properly. So is George Lucas the best writer director for the original star wars or a terrible writer director for the later trilogy?
+FuzzleLand he didn't direct 5 & 6, Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand did. Also Lucas had outside writing help on 5 & 6 from Lawrence Kasdan and someone called Leigh Brackett I think. Sorry to but in haha
FuzzleLand He did in fact not direct 5 & 6, no. Try this thing called "Google" and you'll see.
The Others by Nicole Kidman kinda copied the theme of the Sixth Sense. Its like they're already dead but they did not know it .. or at least Nicole Kidman was in denial that she and her children are dead.. something like that.. can you please make a review on that .. please
Also a beautiful movie! 💜👍
My first time watching your review and I must say you are a BRILLIANT reviewer. Wow hats off to you, Chris.
From this era, I also enjoyed "What Lies Beneath" with Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford and "Stir of Echoes" with Kevin Bacon.
1999: Fight Club, Three Kings, the Insider, American Beauty, Magnolia, Being John Malkovich, Ravenous, the Straight Story, the Thirteenth Floor.... holy crap, what a freakin' year!! The thing about The Sixth Sense that hurt it was the twist- yes, a great twist, albeit not quite as original as some credit (ever see Carnival of Souls?), but one that raised people's expectations and convinced Shyamalan that he was larger than life (people calling him the new Spielberg didn't help either) and though I thought Unbreakable was better, the public never let him escape the expectations. I feel bad because people would never let him make just a straight action film- there always needed to be a twist, and that resulted in more "borrowing" from other films, like the twist in The Village which was just Teenage Caveman redux.
These reviews are great and extremely fair. I appreciate your passion and respect for M.Night's good old days.
God Damn,Chris Stuckmann has come a very long way,and I mean that not only in the technical side but as a film reviewer.He sees movies with an amazing eye,he understands them and he is great at stating his own opinion is a way that everyone can understand and relate to.Keep up the good work Chris,big fan now and always.
I watched sixth sense for the first time a few years ago. Normally I'm pretty good at working out twists in movies but this one blew me away it was totally unexpected. The only other film that came close to that reaction was a fairly unknown film from 2009 called "Triangle". Never had that experience with any other movie, because either the twist can't be worked out or it's too damn obvious/dumb.
triangle is great
Great movie also very emotional.
Rewatching this tonight, and I'm there with you, man. This is such an amazing movie... I especially love the soundtrack... and I always bawl when Malcolm realizes that he's dead... gah! ❤️
Genius level movie writing and directing
This is so brilliant cause it's actually set up for you to watch it over and over getting better and better 😀
Chris, this review is remarkable.
I'm so happy for you that you got to meet M. Night as you've said that Signs was one of the biggest influences to you being so into film.
Chris I couldn't agree more. One of my all-time favourite movies. And your description of that scene in the car (which, to, me, is the climax of the film - Bruce finding out about himself is the big twist but the emotional pay off is Cole and his mum) is exactly how I feel. It's just tears...
Great review Chris. I love this movie so damn good. Loved the twist and yeah I never noticed most things either until multiple viewings. God why can't M. Night make shit like this again!
what an incredible movie. it has been my favorite for years and I don't think it will change anytime soon
Awesome review and you are 100% correct on everything. Good to hear that you met M. Night
I can’t help but feel what the characters in this movie are feeling. Some of the best acting/directing, also just the setting in beautiful Philly. I saw this in theatre when I was 9, and I went home that night so moved and almost spiritually changed. Thank you for the excellent review.
that twist was so good that even knowing it, I get shocked
please do No Country For old Men.
The scene with Cole and his Mother in the car at the end is brilliantly emotional
I didn't know M. Night made Stuart Little! That's my childhood movie!
he actually just co-write it, he didn't direct it
I'm not the only one who saw the thumbnail as "The Fifth Element", am I?
Before I saw Sixth Sense I would always get those two confused!
onesonicguy or the Seventh Seal
And then Super 8, followed by 9, then The Whole Ten Yards, then Farenheit 9/11
I just watched this movie yesterday for the first time. Amazing, although I knew the twist. The scene where Cole wakes up and hears his mother was heartbreaking.
I just watched it now for the first time, I think me knowing that there is a twist at the end made me pay close attention to the details in this movie and predicted the twist easily.
The moment with him and he’s mother in the car was soo powerful it made the movie for me!!..him telling her a story he’s grandma told him a story in which he wasn’t born yet and he’s mom never told him!!..the realization that that her son is telling her the truth about he’s condition was soo powerful excellent movie man bravo
Great review but when you talk about the big films of 99 I don't see how you can leave out fight club and american beauty.
Ah....M. Night Shyamalan. A one hit wonder.
More of a three hit wonder
DoubleOscar If you say so. maybe 2 with Unbreakable, it went downhill from there.
Django Fett I like signs and Unbreakable. I also enjoyed Devil
+Hank Hill I just watched Signs yesterday because it's been awhile since I saw that film. When I was a kid, I just took it as an alien movie and I had forgotten a lot of scenes in it. The directing is beautiful, the writing is thought provoking, and the acting is really great. I think my favourite scene is when Mel Gibson and Joaqin Pheonix are sitting on the couch talking about their beliefs. The whole movie is great, my only problem is the last scene with the mother. I didn't feel that was necessary, and it cuts at a key moment, other than that, it's a beautiful film
