12 Gauge Shotgun for home protection that I ironically inherited from my Father, absolutely. Especially nowadays.
Yeah... 100% gun tf up. Not trying to die, not trying to get caught napping, not trying to watch my family get hurt.
You should watch Scary Movie 3 - it parodies "Signs" in hilarious ways. The "wife death scene" is hysterical.
A shepherd has to protect his flock, right? ;)
I'm packing....a suitcase. Honestly it's one thing to stay in your home, but your home is RIGHT THERE next to one of the crop circles. Maybe a roadtrip is in order?
Fun fact: I was born in that city in Brazil mentioned in that videotape, so you can imagine how scared I was when I first saw this as a child lol
Ele tá lá! Atrás da garagem! HE'S BEHIND!!! kkkkllkk
Cara, eu morria de medo desse filme mas mesmo assim assisti umas mil vezes
I live in Bucks County where they say it took place in the opening. That creeped me out too!
A gray or reptilian
That scene in the theater is one of the most memorable of my life.
Só de se passar no Brasil eu já tava me cagando de medo quando vi, se fosse na mesma cidade eu ia convencer minha mãe de se mudar de cidade hahaha
Bo leaves the water glasses laying around all the time. Merrill's bat has hung on the wall for years. Morgan's airway was blocked because of his asthma. There are no coincidences.
@Boss Killa were they being serious Oml 😂
@Boss Killa his airway was blocked because of his asthma, meaning that the alien's poison couldn't reach his lungs, which is how he survived it
When the dad walks in and all three are sitting there in tin foil hats its the funniest shit ever.
When I went to see this in the theater, there were people in the lobby wearing tin foil hats.
I love when Merrill is in the closet with the tv saying he doesn’t want the kids obsessing over it.
In some ways...I appreciate the intimate fear this provokes over just seeing MASSIVE CGI Alien invasion movies...entirely different approach.
Agreed!!
Sometimes less is more.
Yes, I agree. I really disliked War of the Worlds (with Tom Cruise). I didn’t care for the characters, the main family was annoying, but I feel the opposite with Signs. Loved the movie and it has some genuinely creepy and scary moments, too.
I think that's why it is so intense... because that's how each of us would experience it. As our little group of family or friends. Gleaning whatever we could from the news etc. Until even that went off line. We wouldn't have the big picture. We likely wouldn't have any picture at all. This feels very real, even though it clearly isn't.
@@mirasolbalaga5616 I love War of the Worlds !! I used to have nightmares about those tripods
That dinner scene is pure gold. When the dad yells “SO ENJOY IT” and then immediately breaks down crying is heartbreaking and so powerful. Such a good movie that still holds up, one of M. Night’s best in my opinion.
I love that his dialogue shows how human these characters are, sometimes you just say dumb things in a deep situation because that character thought it was appropriate.
Hahaha yes that’s one way of looking into that
Yeah m night is an odd one. He either completely nails just the random way people can talk especially in intense and life altering situations. But then he also needs to have clunky dialog that exposits a bunch if stuff and hasn't nailed how to actually have it sound natural and not just "getting your toes kicked by beautiful women" lol
@@marcushankins8171 Unbreakable is perfect to me
...You think this dialogue sounds human? Lmao
@@delsinrowe2014 in theory at least, yes... There's plenty of people in this real world that say awkward things at times that are in no way cinematically cool. Especially during arguments and with strangers. Characters in most movies tend to speak with a heightened level of deliberateness and fully formed thoughts, and even their incomplete statements meant to be "natural" have a level of deliberateness to their incompleteness. On the other hand, in real life, people often struggle to know the right thing to say and force out something half-baked because theyre trying to connect with someone they don't truly connect with. People say weird things sometimes.
That said, there's a terribly fine line between realistic dialog and entertainingly realistic dialog; "real" in the certain cinematic contexts won't resonate with some people no matter how true to life it may be. And I agree that M Night would be better off avoiding "funny" dialog.
A lot of people talk shit about this flick, I saw in the theater, it creeper me the hell out. "Merell, Swing Away." Has to be one of the best lines ever. Gibsons charchter regaining his faith at the end gets me everytime.
I was too young at the time but my parents saw this in theaters. Any time this movie is mentioned they talk about how the birthday party footage scene caused the theater to jump
I was like 12 when I saw this theaters and yea it creeped me the hell out..
The alien on the roof that sillouette for whatever reason gave me more night mares than anything else
@Jared Falk Well, we're trying to go to planets where we can even breathe and probably freeze to death without a suit. You got to start somewhere
I have alway loved this film . Shymalan always puts a trick or surprise in his movies . Some people don’t like this movie because they think it is an Alien movie. The trick or surprise is it’s not an alien movie it’s a spiritual movie about Faith.
@Jared Falk How smart are they, you ask? Well, somewhere between intergalactic space travel and invading an 80% acid planet.
I remember this film was so cool to me as a kid because it was so different than any other alien movie I had seen. Glad you got to see it!
Me too!
Same man that scene in the car where he starts picking up the signals is chilling
“AHHH I’M INSANE WITH ANGER!”
😂😂😂 my fave part. I love this movie.
"Move Children...Vamonos!!". I quote this all the time. Lol. It makes me crack up every time.
I remember in the theater the basement asthma scene everyone was so into it you could hear people take a deep breath all at one time. It was insane.
Wow that's random but the door bashing was my nightmare fuel along with the deleted scene when marril Trapped a demon alien to block its path
The chat on the couch about signs and coincidences always gets me. I love it.
Honestly one of my all-time favorite movies. Seeing this as a kid was terrifying, and watching now and seeing the symbolism behind everything is fascinating. Also Chris Stuckmann has a great video analyzing this movie you should check out.
His analysis helped me rediscover my love of this movie
This movie is such an emotional rollercoaster, even rewatching little parts from this reaction had me crying tbh. It's my fave Shyamalan movie for sure. Maybe or maybe not for sentimental reasons, because I saw it in the theatre with my family when I was young and it was the start of my love of sci fi and horror. That news footage scene gets me every time, still iconic!
I’m glad that you defended M. Night Shyamalan. He’s one of my favorite filmmakers. Always original and takes risks. Very little flash, he puts in all in the storytelling and characters. There’s not a lot of people out there that have created masterpieces, like M. Night.
People always tend to criticize and criticize and criticize instead of actually respecting the fact of people taking risks. That’s why we see so much mundane crap today, and people complain about not getting anything original.
@@JamesVSCinema
I know. Hypocritical, ain't it?
I even enjoyed The Happening. Some genuine shocks in there for me.
Alright, now we're getting into the films that got me through film school. For every miss, Shyamalan has an equally classic near-masterpiece! #TheVillageWasntSoBad
Ayyyy good choice!
The Village was kind of bad (kind of) but its soundtrack was out of this damn world
@@Ailurophile1984 I disagree. I think the village was poorly marketed. So people expected something very different when they went into the theater. Everyone expected a creepy puritan style monster movie. But it’s really a romance film, with a pretty decent twist. Cause I didn’t expect it when I first saw it.
It has its problems, just like any of his movies but it’s definitely not as bad. It’s shot really well, the acting is good. I just don’t want it to be held in the league of The Happening or Avatar 😒
The Village is Shyamalans best.
I think Lady in the Water is his best, or it just spoke to me personally the most.
I love signs. I saw it at a drive-in when I was seven years old, and it's had a special place in my heart ever since.
“No ones going to stop us from enjoying this meal so enjoy it! Stop crying!”
The amount of times I quote this in my real life when me and friends go out to eat is embarrassing.
Edit: James I peeped that shirt too. Is dope 👀
Hahaha it’s an iconic saying for food lovers everywhere
Hahahahaha!
I find it charming love
@@JamesVSCinema it’s also a great way to get everyone to choose your restaurant of choice.
Who is gonna argue with someone screaming that ? Lol
@@krisfrederick5001 why thank you.
4:20 I was not paying attention to the screen and that dog bark actually made me almost spill water all over myself lmao
LMFAOOO OH NOOOO
this sits on a shelf in my mind with "Frailty". it's just good simple very effective writing done smartly and very well.
Noice!
I love Frailty!
Frailty is great!
Yeah Frailty! RIP Bill Paxton
@@JamesVSCinema James, have you seen Frailty? Would love to see your reaction to it, if not.
Signs, Unbreakable, The Village and The 6th sense. Love me some older Shyamalan films!
He should totally react to The Village
@@TheKiddo2468 Yes! Movies that I want to see more reactions to: “The Village,” “Paulie,” “Life of Pi,” “Holes,” and “Dances with Wolves.” 😁
Saw this movie as a kid and it was legitimately my first experience with having an existential crisis. It's pretty cheesy now but it was my first time experiencing a genuine sense of doom
The great thing about this film is they made it feel real. They made you say this is how it might be if it was your family. So many little subtleties too, the dogs sensing the aliens, Bo with her dreams dropping hints, the evolving flashbacks, the people in the town, Morgan trying to be scientific but also a big little brother, Merrill just being the everyman for the audience and Graham dealing with EVERYTHING as it comes to a head in his own house and family. Classic. Hits all the right notes imo.
This movie gave me such a level of fear, still does. After I first watched it as a kid/teen, I spent months being afraid of any creak in the house. Also why, if my dogs are acting weird or barking at nothing, I will raise my guard to high alert as well. Great reaction! Movie is a favorite of my for a long time.
Hey thanks!
I remember seeing the birthday party scene in theaters for the first time, and it chilled me to the bone. Watching this again, there are some fairly hokey moments, but it still has it's good spots. The score by James Newton Howard, in fact all of his scores for Shyamalan's films, is sorely underrated and not talked about enough. If you want a solid "found footage" style horror/thriller from Shyamalan check out his return to form after what are considered to be duds, The Visit.
This was one of my favourite films growing up. My great grandmother Margaret Ellen-Fry was a Welsh UFO investigator from the late 1940s up until around the 2010s. She got me into aliens, UFOs and the paranormal in general. She unfortunately passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 95. I'll forever be grateful to her for taking the time to sit down with me as a child and showing me her investigations, VHS recordings etc.
Don't keep your thoughts a secret.

@@michaelharvey1197 apologies for the late reply. For some reason RUclips likes to decide whether or not I get reply notifications. My Gran lived in Wales while I lived pretty much on the opposite side of the UK. I would see her only every couple of years so I don't have many personal stories with her that relate to UFOs/aliens, only the one I wrote above - although I'm sure there's some I've forgotten which my brain will resurface at the most random time. In her will she left me all of her documents, audio recordings, sketches from her investigations and books....LOTS of books....I wouldn't be surprised if she had close to 1000 books relating to her field. Unfortunately I wasn't able to bring much of it back after her funeral due to having too much stuff in the car - but when I do I think you're onto something there. I'm dying to have a dig through it all and maybe even find some gems she had hidden away.
If you're interested she has two books she wrote herself. One is called 'Who Are They?' and the other is called 'Link to the Stars'. If you have Kindle Unlimited you'll be able to read both for free!
Man, I will never forget seeing this in the theater. I love horror and creepy movies but this felt different. Amazing DP and cinematography. That shot at night panning across the crop circle is brilliant and beautiful. So many haunting moments. And the insanely slow build manages to not be boring and the payoff at the end is great. Still get goosebumps during the birthday footage when they see the alien. The orchestral hit and the kids screaming... meanacing, clearly not afraid. Wants to be seen. And then Joaquin Phoenix's reaction to the footage drives home how shocking it is. 100% agree with you... he is a good writer, even when he misses he's trying new things, experimenting and often he hits moments where things are just perfect. I always enjoy his stuff. Give Lady in the Water a watch.
Bro I'm telling you, as a kid when this first came out, that shit scared the crud outta me. And it was really good for its time lol
Love the theory that they weren’t aliens but demons from hell and the water was blessed by the little girl that’s why it hurts them
Lmfaooo WHAT!?
@@JamesVSCinema This theory actually fixes the movie's biggest plot holes.
1. Why would aliens come to Earth (which is mostly covered in water & has tons of water vapour in the atmosphere) in the first place if water is so deadly to them?
2. Why are the aliens (who would have to be technologically advanced to travel to Earth) always just skulking around suspiciously without showing any signs of having any technology?
On top of fixing those plot holes, it also just improves the movie as a whole, because if they're demons rather than aliens then instead of faith just being one of the underlying themes of the movie (as in: Mel Gibsons' character's struggle with his faith after the loss of his wife), every aspect of the entire movie actually becomes an exploration of faith.
I'm not religious at all myself, but Signs is much better as a movie about faith and religion than it is as a movie about aliens.
This theory suddenly resolved the few issues I had with this movie, the very same issues Randalthor741 raises. Once I understood they were demons, not aliens, it all made sense. Plus I got to experience a SECOND Shyamalan twist in the same movie. :)
@@randalthor741 it was supposed to be demons but the studio didn't want something that overtly religious so it changes to aliens.
But the plot holes could be fixed if instead of it being an invasion it being the last remnants of an alien race that had to flee their planet and are looking for any planet at least somewhat hospitable and this was one they happened to find when they were nearly out of all resources.
@@JamesVSCinema Not only what has been said, but there are actually connections to crop circles. Back in "ye olden days" when there was farm land all over the place, people (young people, mostly) would sneak out into fields and have parties and shit out in the back 40 in the tall crops or long grass and they'd clear out a chunk of it to have their drinking / orgy parties. Lots of older folk would tell stories about satan worshipers and witches, and before that there were 'fairy rings', which are actual things. There's a type of crop fungus that tends to form in circles or ring-like patterns (not this big and not in shit like corn but other crops). And then there's downdrafts and shit that would happen during storms that would damage a chunk of field and then get found days later, so the connection to the storm wasn't always apparent and they'd assume it was witches or something.
So there's that connection, and there was an article I read once upon a time about a book that the author of the article assumed that Shyamalan must have had that was like a collection of old american folklore and supposedly that book contained little guides and stories on how to keep demons out of your house and what attracts them and stuff like that, and there were correlations to things in this book in the film. At the time I tried to track down some evidence of this, but I was unable to unearth anything to correlate any of the claims made, so that one's not really a sure thing.
Now, I'm an atheist and I obviously don't believe in shit like demons or miracles, but I do like it when film take that mythology and do something interesting or unusual with it, and I like good storytelling, and Gibson's character has a hell of an arc in this film.
This movie perfectly illustrates Shyamalan's strengths. 4 characters, all strong, very focused on their relationships with each other, very few weirdo side-characters to deal with. His previous two films were the same. A few characters and a story that focuses on them almost entirely the entire way through. His later films started to introduce more and more characters and less of a focus on their relationships and more of a focus on how weird and quirky they were. The results were not good.
Honestly, I thought he'd be a good Airbender director, cause it's mostly a story of three friends (4 later on) and a couple of 'bad guys' and those relationships. It's a plot that should have been right up his alley, but he was in full-on quirkiness mode and somehow forgot how to write a relationship.
Genuinely one of my favourite scary movies! One thing I think you'll appreciate on the second time round: when the dog seems ill in the opening few minutes, Graham says they'll call the local doctor, rather than the vet (M. Night's character) because he doesn't want to contact him. Only a small detail, but it just adds to the background of the family :) Also when they receive the best baby monitor reception is when they all come together as a family!
Watching this at a young age added a lot to the scare factor and anxiety lol. Good pick, James! Also, I've been subbed for some time and your channel is one of the best for reactions that are out there! Keep up the good work and may your channel grow, my man!
Hey man! Thanks for the kind words bro. It really does mean a lot to me man!
2:41 I remember seeing this movie in 8th grade when it first came out. I distinctly remember thinking, “these are the most intense opening credits ever” when they played. I died laughing when you said this 💀💀💀
YEEESS!! I Requested this!!! Lets gooo!!! Glad you took the time and sat down with this one James!!
I saw this in the theater 3 times. I went with anybody that wanted to go because I had never seen anything like it at the time. Also I loved watching their reactions to the creepy glimpses of the aliens. One of my cousins actually jumped out of his seat at one point.
Seeing this in theaters was incredible. When the story starts revealing the twist slowly at the end. Man it was emotional. The soundtrack is subtle but menacing. Seeing that scene with the alien on top of the Barn brought back how many goosebumps I felt first time seeing this. Great film. Great reaction. Hope you’re well man 🤘🏻
The production design is AMAZING! DIfferent shades of blue (water?) throughout the sets and costumes. Also there are crosses throughout the film and its design (crisis of faith). Good stuff! And the score rules!!!
This movie scared the hell outta me when I was kid haha. When the dad looks up out the window and sees it on the roof lmao
The first memory I have of this movie was when I was four and my family was watching this in the downstairs of my grandparents house. The scene where the alien walks out from behind the bushes came on and it scared me so bad I screamed and ran out of the room, while my whole family laughed at me. Needless to say I was traumatized but I’ve grown to love jump scares 😆
Notice how the signal from the baby monitor becomes clear when they all touch i.e working together as a family.
This movie is so dope.
The alien leg in the corn field & the alien stepping out from behind the bush scared the hell outta me.
Gotta admit, this movie had me on edge as I watched it in the theater. I thought the mood it set up was very effective, especially seeing the alien on TV. I had some problems with some of the alien characteristics... like if they were vulnerable to water, why were they naked? If I was one of them I would put on a raincoat or something.
Let's go been waiting on this one since yesterday keep up all the awesome content. James your the man !!!!
Ayyyy my man Cory!
You're so right about Shyamalan, even his worst stuff has flashes of brilliant or intriguing stuff. His films are so fun to watch because of it.
One of my very favorite films, and frankly, my most beloved theater experiences ever.....I only went back to see it 8 more times.....
Each time the baby monitors picked up the alien’s communication were the only times every member of the family was hugging or holding hands. Such a subtle and brilliant way to show the unity required to make it through.
Such a great reaction video man. I loved your reactions and humor!
That leg in the cornfield was one of the only parts i saw as a kid. FUUUUUCKED me up. Now this is probably my favorite alien movie. Its so good.
So much nostalgia for me in this movie, first “horror” movie I ever saw. Brother was meant to be baby sitting me but went out partying and 10 year old me was watching this alone on tv at 11pm. Good times.
I have struggled with spirituality all my life. When he says, “I’m not ready!” Kills me!!
The more you think about it, the more it sticks with you. It's about faith, it's about wholesome family values.
''You need to stop getting grabbed tho, kid...'' xD
Always getting got XD
Everyone reacting to birthday scene: ahhhhh *loud screaming*
James reacting to birthday scene: that's too tall. too damn tall..
i love it.
Love this movie. It had a legitimate psychological impact on me growing up. My dad showed it to my older brother snd I when it first came out and man it scared the hell out of us. We grew up in a very rural area just like this where we were surrounded by our cornfields and thick forests. So naturally after we saw this movie and the corn was up every year you made sure you didn’t go outside at night unless you absolutely had to. And if you did then you made sure you at least had a pocket knife. Even to this day that time of year I am strapped, locked, and loaded every time I go outside at night.
If I remember correctly, the scene of the moms death was filmed around the time of 9/11. Everyone working on the set was extremely emotional
This is one of my favorites! It's not so much about aliens but rather about faith.
Faith and sci-fi intertwined. Fantastic story telling by M. Night that plays out in the end. The twist was almost as good as the sixth sense...
Everyone in the theater SCREAMED so loud during the birthday party reveal. Also note that “swing away” is a literal sign in baseball so double meaning there.
This and the Village are my two favorite M. night movies. the emotional core of both movies is so good.
Do you eat toothpaste for the minty flavor? 😆
This has always been one of my favorite movies
I saw this around the time I would go to backyard parties at night. The scene where he saw the alien on the roof had me shook every time going out!
One of my favorites and the final battle where everything connects(bat, water, lungs closed) is the best!
LOVE this movie. One of the creepiest movies ever that’s not a horror. Or maybe I just think that because it scared the hell out of me when it came out and I was like 10.
And I really like the “it feels like they’re in a movie” - thing. I feel like the absurdity and quirkiness really works in this movies own universe.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I've always appreciated how M Night Shyamalan always seems to incorporate faith and healing into the stories he tells (the good ones, at least). It's very particular to his vision and to me it's always been very effective in making me connect emotionally to the characters. It's not because I'm a religious person (cause i'm not), it's more like.. I can tell it's something very important to him and his upbringing? So it feels genuine? And then the healing part.. In Sixth Sense, I feel like it was about healing from your own past mistakes and regrets. The Village is about healing from trauma. And this is about healing from loss. I just think it's very cool when filmmakers share something that comes from a genuine place, I think you can feel it. And I think that is what his other not-so-great movies lack. I will still always admire M Night Shyamalan for his good work
My favorite M. Night movie, I saw this in the theater and loved it. And,Even though hes gone off the deep end, Mel Gibson is a fantastic actor.
One of the best theater experiences.
@@d3l3tes00n Agreed!
Mel Gibson is also fantastic director. I also love him as Mad Max.
He didn't "gone off the deep end". He is doing alright now, still making films as a director and an actor. Yeah he had his ups and downs but he seems to be doing good right now.
I like that only when the family were all touching one another that the monitor work to detect the sound. Like it's a sign of something.
Ah this one is a gem. It’s a comfort movie for my mom and I so it’s cool to hear your mom liked it enough to recommend it.
Easily my favorite movie by Shyamalan. This movie is so underrated because, quite honestly, it was too intelligent for most audiences. I love the slow build up for maximum suspense and the payoff at the end is so good.
Dude yes! So much love for this film. Glad you loved it. One of M. Night’s best. For sure!
I seriously laughed so hard I cried at- I think some aliens came and tagged up you stuff- you got some graffiti. I needed that this morning🤣🤣🤣
When I watched this as a kid it genuinely freaked me out, I could be out near cornfields late at night.
That bark at 4:21 sent shockwaves through my bones..
Facts lmfaooo
I love your stuff and I adore this movie despite its many plot-holes and flaws. The acting is exceptionally good and for their performances alone this movie deserves high praise. I'm eager to see what you think of this gem.
Hope you enjoy!
@@JamesVSCinema I did! And I'm glad you enjoyed the movie too. Exactly what I was hoping; you had fun with it and that's great. I love how it's oddly comedic and serious-toned all at the same time and it blends the two wonderfully. A truly fun movie indeed.
What loop holes
This movie can definitely get your hairs to stick up! Glad you enjoyed it, hope you’re having a great weekend!🤙
When they show the footage of the alien in Mexico, my friends and I jumped in the theater. When I get scared from something like that I laugh. It was a good laugh. The alien hand coming from under the door is a great scare too.
How did i miss this reaction??? One of my all time favorite movies
He appears in his films like Hitchcock did but I think Hitchcock made his appearance fairly early in the movie cause people were so intent on spotting him he felt they weren't paying attention to the plot
I love this movie! It scared the crap out of me as a kid, but I still really appreciated that it was a film that was a) more about the family than the aliens, and b) it feels more eerie when you don't clearly see the movie's "monster". It's such a touching film with the perfect touch of uneasiness and drama. I'm not religious, but I adore this movie.
"Aliens drifting" is now my favorite explanation for crop circles. Fuck plausibility, it's aliens, they have a big horsepower RWD car, and they're going "WOOOO!"
This film is so much fun! I know you had an issue with some of the dialogue and I understand why however, for me, the dialogue works with the genre. At times it feels like a TV movie and the nods to classic sci-fi made the straight forward dialogue work.
I fucking love this film. Some absolutely brilliant shots. Great lightning or work with shadows in certain scenes. Big up James!
Much love!!
The party scene scared me so much as a kid
Never understood how a species (weak to water) capable of space travel, that potentially studied humans and the planet they lived on would try to invade a planet 75% water. Tons of people literally have water running into their homes. They didn't even bring rain coats or anything? This movie is shot well, and is suspenseful, but I never could quite understand that...
Like when you see Earth from space, you can't help but see water... Not one of the aliens was like "What's all that stuff?"
Lazy writing.
Maybe it wasn't the water itself. For all we know, maybe the aliens react badly to fluoride.
Loved how the reveal of the aliens is built up in this film
“I’m happy. But you need to stop getting grabbed kid”. Lmaooooo
this movie gave me some of the most intense goosebumps of my life
One of my favorites from M. Night
Damn enjoyable!
Awesome reaction James
It's one of the movies that i love the most even the people not liking the same way, i remember myself like seven years old waiting till midnight to watch this movie on tv.
lol at the idea of aliens drifting and tagging up earth. ps love the shirt
Hahaha they just having fun hahaha! And thank you
In the theater, the surround sound freaked me out! The alien running around the house was behind me and on the sides of me. I was like, “Oh Hell No!!!!”
I do want to add something. The scene when they are fixing eat and the son blames his dad, I can say from experience that grief does so much to you and trying to process that grief and deal with a life changing event like alien invasion can tear someone apart. Sometimes your feelings will not be what they should be. Him blaming his dad was from deep inside. Anger is a a grief response no one talks about.
I second that point about watching it with a group. My first watch was with my brother, dad, and uncle, and we had a BLAST
I know MNS turned into kind of a meme, but that man made some of the most memorable movies in the last 30 years. Just good, fun movies.
When you realise the movie is about a man regaining his faith and understanding that everything is preordained and not so much about the aliens then all the dialogue makes perfect sense when you rewatch it
I love you and your reactions, James☮❤
My favorite Shyamalan. I could talk about it for a week straight and never once cover the same topic. There is too much to love. It's scifi perfection.
But if I had to comment on juuuuuust a few things I was say.....
The music. The music. Oh my God the chills I get from that theme.
The way everything lines up so perfectly. It all has meaning.
The jump scares got me worse than any other movie has ever done. I was exhilarated with terror in theaters as a kid. I think I was 13ish.
Now I just love even the most unexpected things. The cups of water. The dinner scene. Everything about Joaquins performance. The humor (whether intentional or not).
Im so happy you did this. On a roll. It's like Christmas in September. Please don't ever stop.
Yes I'm glad your watching this. Watched this film as a kid and it freaked me out and still does.
Something I always loved was the thought that the aliens are always watching, you just cant see them, and the kids reaction to their dog going crazy probably influenced the aliens actions, he responded with violence and killed the dog so they decided at invasion time they would be hostile, maybe they gave the dogs alien laxatives or something to make them sick, other people (farmers specifically) would most likely put their animals down, theres not much evidence of any of that other than the 2 main dogs but its a thought I had. This is one of those movies we can all speculate on forever and never get bored, even the most outlandish theories are fun to hear, like how the aliens are actually demons, it gets wacky.
This is my favorite alien movie honestly it still scares me but I love the talk on the couch just the conversations are so good and it makes you think!
What I like about M. Night Shyamalan is that he attempts to make original films time and time again in an era that is riddled with sequals and cliche superhero movies.
