re-viewed: The Sixth Sense
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2012 10:46 pm
So I watched this again yesterday, I initially thought it'd be like Gladiator, another movie that's aged badly.
While this movie IS old, it's still not showing it's age.
While this movie has given up all it's surprises, it's still excellent to watch.
There's really only three people in this film that really matter:
Dr. Malcolm Crowe - Bruse Willis
Cole Sear - Haley Joel Osment and...
Lynn Sear - The lovely Toni Collette
Dr. Crowe is a paediatric psychologist, who's life is turned up-side down by a previous patient whom he failed to treat properly.
Eventually he is brought to the attention of Cole Sear, (Haley joel Osment really pulled an ace from up his sleeve on this movie, possibly some of the best acting ever by a child star). Cole is plagued by past and current events that he has no control over.
Cole's mom, Lynn, cannot understand what's wrong with her son, she tried everything, including trying to get Cole to be friends with an asshole Tommy Tammisimo, an aspiring actor the same age as Cole.
All attempts by Lynn Sear end in disaster and only Dr. Crowe can help.
We see both Cole and Dr Crowe become friends while Cole struggles with his life, his dreams, and Coles reality, a reality that would terrify an adult, but one that Cole must learn to deal with and take in his stride.
I've not really given anything away for anyone who hasn't seen this film, and if you haven't seen it you really need to.
The thing that lifts this film out of the same category (missable) as Gladiator is Haley Joel Osment, his acting is legendary, if this is what he can do as a kid, then he's going to be brilliant if/when he finishes school and decides to continue his career.
Still got the creepy moments, and even though I know what happens, it's still got that edge of your seat nervousness.
Definitely worth watching again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again
