I bet they are ghosts the whole time

At the end of the Sixth Sense you find out that was Bruce Willis the whole time dude

"Oh, yeah, yeah, like-like in TheSixth Sense,you find out that the dude, um, in that hairpiece the whole time-- that's Bruce Willis the whole movie."

Signs had a twist at the end. You find out the aliens are the stupidest damn things ever and the whole movie was a waste of time

I was trying to determine if the water thing and the death bed hallucination from the wife proving prophetic was actually a twist. The water thing was stupid, but I didn't let that ruin the movie for me.

How do they make perfect creature noises, and how do they expect to pass down the tradition over time as people die off

You are way over thinking that. I simply enjoyed thinking it was a true middle-ages village the entire time and the totally unexpected twist at the end. I appreciate that isn't for everyone, but I liked it, own it, and have watched 4 or 5 times.

Signs (saw 3 times in the theater)


How many times have you seen Paul Blart 2 so far?

I appreciate your attempt at movie elitism, but Paul Blart 2 has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes while Signs is sitting at 74%. It was a well received movie and I know a lot of people that loved it.

And about plot twists...

Where does it come a point where the plot twist is just a plot driver?

I would argue everything that happens in Signs is a plot driver. Keep in mind that there are many many flashbacks, and this only makes sense. They learn about things from the wreck and see them become fulfilled in the present.

In The Village, the real plot twist comes about 2/3rds into the movie, and isn't really a big reveal at all, but in fact a real important decision for the community and it's continuation from the sole act of one woman, and a special man. It was a secret that had to be told and was crucial to the story.


The Sixth Sense is really the only true plot twist because it changes the entire view of the story after the reveal, and the reveal comes that late in the film.


I don't think Unbreakable has a plot twist because it is really the beginning or framework for the full realization of a superhero/nemesis rivalry. It had to be done.


Lastly, in the Lady in the Water the characters realize their roles are not right when carrying out a plan, then they realize the true way when they finally really start to believe in what the fairy tale visitor has to say. That's not a twist, that is an updated plan. That's like saying every action movie has a plot twist when something doesn't go according to plan and they have to improvise.

Using that logic, MacGyver hass a plot twist every episode. It's a dumb argument.



All this being said, The Sixth Sense is the only true plot twist. And it worked. And M. Night is a good story teller, and you guys are mad that there weren't any more twists, but you were looking so hard for one, so you forged some fake ones yourself, and since you forged them you knew what would happen, so you claim now you're smarter than the director, but you're not, you just followed your own logic, which wasn't entirely truthful what the director wanted. Now you're pissed that you haven't had a good twist in a while, because there's really only been one, and you hate M. Night, or don't give him enough credit for his initial run of films (Sixth Sense to Lady in the Water [I argue is his best film]).

There you have it.

I've always hated movies that began with "The". This movie will suck.

Are the kids named Hansel and Gretel?

And WHY more found footage elements? Laziness? Saving on cinematography costs??
