I personally felt 'Signs' sucked! His other films :thumbsup:

 

the build up in Signs was good as hell. the ending was retarded, i'm glad Scary Movie 3 made fun of the "alien" in Signs lol

 

 

The Village will change a lot of things.

 

I can't wait to see the Village.... 6th Sense was great.. Signs wasn't...

I watched the whole thing, big M Night Fan. It was OBVIOUS the thing was fake. WAY way toooooooooo obvious, but still a good show. It was clever.

He never drowned, his high school "friends" were actors, the crow in the closed room and the "audio malfunction" during the interview, the bad polaroid photo should have made it pretty plain that it was a hoax. Still good television though.

I was suckered into thinking it was a real documentary for about ten minutes at the beginning, but it just got too hoaky and the documentary filmmaker is an actor that I have seen somewhere before.


PS.... SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!! SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!
THE VILLAGE ENDING.........
DO NOT READ IF YOU INTEND TO SEE THE MOVIE




A movie website I read said the Village Script sucked, and that the plot twist at the end is that these DO NOT READ FURTHER!!!!!! folks are living like amish in the modern world and that the creatures in the woods that they are afraid of are modern people. Not sure if that is true, but it was posted on a movie geek website.






END OF SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh...don't blame me you were warned but just HAD to look.

 

I disagree with many people opinions regarding Unbreakable and Signs.

Unreakable wasn't about a villain and a hero, it was a story about good and evil. Two forces that have to exist to allow for the other to exist. It's the Yin and Yang he was writing about.....it's everything a comic book is, just more adult orientated in it's story-telling methodology.

Signs wasn't about an invasion, aliens, the loss of life, or anything of the nature. The supernatural sense he was trying to get across in this story was the supernature of faith. Are there faith based coincidences....or are coincidences actual pieces of the plot that a supernatural power situates in our lives?

I think if you watch those movies as more of story telling or more of some personal insight of the writer/director, you'll get more out of them. As for entertainment, sure, I'd rather watch a Jason vs. Freddy horror flick, a Die with a Vengence action movie, or a three-girl on one-guy porno....but sometimes movies like M. Night Shammamalalalam's are very refreshing.

 

Shamalan is a great storyteller. Probably one of the best around today, but it is always the subtext he is trying to get across. Like the pain of strained relationships in Sixth Sense between the mother and son, and between Bruce Willis and his wife.

Or about believing life is random or part of some grand plan in Signs. The title signs was not really refrring to crop circles, but the little events in life that make you a believer or an skeptic in "the grand plan". The aliens were just a plot device to get the message across, and be a little spooky.

 

All three of his movies have their place. All well done for each crowd of enthusiasts. Liked the documentary. Just like his style isn't it.
