Is it real or is it just your imagination? Ghosts are at the forefront of the film, The Sixth Sense. In this psychological thriller, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is a child psychologist who is shot in his home by an ex-patient that believed he was mistreated. The man then turns the gun on himself. The next fall, Crowe takes on a new case, a nine-year-old boy named Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment). He exhibits some similar issues as his ex-patient. Maybe this will be Malcolm’s redemption. However, the question lies, is Malcolm helping Cole or is Cole helping him?
Cole has a secret that no one knows, except for “them.” “I see dead people.” (The Sixth Sense) He is known as a “freak” as he is misunderstood. Malcolm is the only hope left to save Cole from these “ghosts”. At first, Malcom thinks it is a case of deep psychological disturbance; however, as the film progresses, it is determined that Cole really does see spirits. They all want something, that is to finish their duty on Earth. For instance, the girl who died from cancer had a tape that she wanted her friends and family to see. Therefore, it is up to Cole to help them.
The film’s clues are very tricky to decipher. It seems to about a failing marriage; however, viewers receive the ultimate reveal towards the end. Most of these clues revolve around the color red. Red is significant in the film as it draws attention to important items and people. Cole is wearing a red sweater while he climbs up the stairs. Then, a red balloon floats up into the ceiling. There is also a red doorknob that is an important plot device as viewers will see throughout the movie. There are other hints that benefit the film’s deceiving plot. The walls are dull and pale which serves as a contrast to the ominous factor, ghosts. Sounds of music playing before the unforeseen visuals that Cole experiences; temperatures drop once a ghost appears. This is an eccentric addition that makes the child psychologist realize more is amiss than he knew.
The Sixth Sense also tugs on heartstrings. The connection between Cole and his mother, Lynn Sear (Toni Collette) is breathtaking.
Transitioning is not the film’s strong point. The scene blacks out and goes into a different setting, which leaves viewers with questions and anticipation. This would be effective if an unexpected event occurred; however, there is an abundance of background information that takes away from the suspense and overall importance of the film. The multiple usage of this transition takes away from our experience. Though the transitions are odd and unnecessary, it does not exceed the uplifting and thrilling effects.
The Sixth Sense’s finale answers all the viewers questions. With a surprising twist, the clues that were overlooked now makes sense.
