Plot outline: Malcom Crowe is a child psychologist who receives an award on the same night that he is visited by a very unhappy ex-patient. After this encounter, Crowe takes on the task of curing a young boy with the same ills as the ex-patient. This boy "sees dead people". Crowe spends a lot of time with the boy (Cole) much to the dismay of his wife. Cole's mom is at her wit's end with what to do about her son's increasing problems. Crowe is the boy's only hope. Summary written by Jeff Mellinger {jmell@uclink4.berkeley.edu} Malcom Crowe è un bravo ed affermato psicologo infantile che decide di prendere in cura (dedicandogli tutto il suo tempo) Cole, un ragazzo di nove anni che afferma di "vedere i morti"... Questo l'assunto iniziale di un film difficile da spiegare, tutto giocato nel rapporto fra i due ed in quello del ragazzo con le "presenze", tutte defunte per incidenti o malattie e che gli chiedono giustizia (ed in questo il ragazzo si sente mancante della possibilità di aiutarle). Anche il dottore è in crisi : il rapporto con la moglie è in profonda crisi, ma non riesce a fare a meno di dedicarsi al ragazzo. Perchè ? Cosa è veramente reale ? Summary written by rosebud6
Comment: When I first saw The Sixth Sense, I didn't know what to expect. I guess I was looking forward to a good scary horror flick. I was very surprised. I found that the purpose for this movie was far greater than just trying to scare the audience. I found this movie was showing not only the emotions of fear, but also faith, commitment, sadness of loss, and love. The end was so surprising, I had to see it again. The second time I watched it, I did it from a totally different perspective (this is a very rare quality for any movie), and I enjoyed it just as much, or maybe even more. I also, as many viewers have, tried to detect fallacies in the story. I couldn't find one. In addition, for those that appreciate great soundtracks, the music only helps to heighten the experience of the movie. I believe that a great movie is one that helps the viewer perceive life and the world differently. The Sixth Sense is one of those extraordinary movies that does that to me. This movie reflects on some difficult subjects that will make the viewer walk away asking eternal questions. Questions about death, about letting go, about eternal love and commitment, about the love between parent and child, and between husband and wife. Maybe I read too much into this very wonderful film, but I believe it will be difficult to find a movie that has touched on these subjects so poignantly and so well for years to come.
