Every now and then, comes a film that throws off even the brightest and sharpest viewers. The Sixth Sense is one of those films. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, The Sixth Sense is a thrilling tale that combines horror elements, comedic points and twists it all together to form a flick that after 16 years, is still considered one of the best. The film features Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist who is confronted in his bedroom by one of his former patients. The patient tells Malcolm that years ago, he failed him. Months later, Crow begins to work with 9 year old Cole Sear. The boy suffers with different mental conditions, and Crowe makes it his goal to help and cure Cole, and compensate for his failure with Vincent. Throughout the film, Crowe learns more and more about Cole, and begins to spend great amounts of time with him. All the while, his wife is now estranged from Crowe, seldom addressing him and never even looking at him. As time goes on, Crowe begins to believe Cole is delusional and considers leaving his case, but then remembers that he made the same mistake with Vincent. This makes him even more determined to help Cole. Cole’s mother explains one of Cole’s biggest problems; that he never talks about his problems to anybody. Even his mother has no clue as to what’s going on with him, and at first he’s extremely reluctant to tell Crowe as well. Nothing will be given away, but the film’s largest drawing point is the ending, largely considered to be one of the greatest twists endings of all time. The entire film is consistent, interesting and full of unique surprises and qualities. It’s definitely a film that requires a second viewing, in order to make full sense of the ending. Overall, the Sixth Sense is a terrific movie that doesn’t drag on for a second while telling a very unique and distinctive plot.
