This is a movie that I have stayed in for several years, because I personally didn't like the actor Bruce Willis at one time. In my initial impression, he was a person who only played violent movies, and his acting skills were the same as his muscles-big and stiff.
However, the name Harry Joe Osment finally attracted me. After watching the little Gan in "Forrest Gump", especially the little boy who touched the world and died of a fateful little boy in another movie "Spreading Love" starring him. I revisited this video.
And this renewed movement also gave me a new or more comprehensive understanding of Bruce: even large, stiff muscles will have nuanced textures.
The 8-year-old Cole has the ability to see through the world and communicate with ghosts. However, it is clear that this ability is an incredible, even unacceptable, strange power even for a mature adult, let alone a young child. When in life, from time to time, one or a few ghosts still remaining terrifying death suddenly appeared next to him and talked to him...
No one believed him that he could see this supernatural existence, even his mother. . After a long time at that time, he has learned to face it alone and bear it independently. But the fear has not diminished, and even the small porcelain figure of God is no longer able to protect this child living in the "different space".
Harry Joe Osment’s performance is something I admire. He performed a child who lives in a high degree of distrust (both others to him, and to others, including ghosts) and a high degree of fear. Ghosts are easy to draw, but it's hard to act as hells, and it's even harder to act once they're done. However, Harry, who was only 11 years old at the time, did it. When his child’s face shows the indifference and plainness of an adult, the audience can easily realize that it is because what the child is experiencing is beyond his age and beyond what anyone’s age can accept. . And when he hid in horror in the camping tent at home, with a pair of small hands holding the icon of Jesus tightly, we realized again that no matter how terrifying things he experienced, he was still just someone in need. Protect, care, and understand children.
The appearance of Malcolm helped this child fill in many blanks. Father, friend, an indispensable part of a child's growth, finally appeared in an abnormal form. This child psychologist is determined to save this child who is on the edge of his mind. For him, this is not an act of self-help. Because he has paid a "heavy" price since the last failure. He wants to make up for the mistakes he has made, he wants to find a reason for existence, he wants to start life again, the rift between Mihe and his wife...
and all this must start with saving the child. He got closer and understood a little bit. The guessing game in the hall was a difficult start, and it also proved that it will be a difficult journey. The problem of trust was not resolved until Malcolm could finally believe what Cole had said-he could see ghosts and hear their voices. The rest is to guide the child not to escape, face it courageously, and apply his extraordinary ability to where it is needed.
As I said before, this is a movie that changed my perspective on Bruce. In addition to films like Die Hard, he can also act in films that need to be meticulously portrayed like a utility knife. When he and little Harry played this pair of roles like father and son and friends, I could only admire them. In the film, I saw these two people walking together on the tree-lined road, and the sunlight was spreading on them. I couldn't help but imprint their image at this moment into my mind. To care and protect like a father, to understand and trust like a friend, there is a sense of proportion between them, one more point is fat, and one less point is thinner. And Bruce, it succeeded.
There are two secondary lines in this movie that cannot be missed. One is the distrust and incomprehensibility between Cole and his mother due to this weird world; the other is the kind of estrangement between Malcolm and his wife that they are in the same roof, but they have nothing to say to each other. Yes, it's like a crack in nothing.
The affection between mother and child and the love between husband and wife are the most important and deepest emotions in the world. Therefore, when the son utters the last words of his grandmother in the future, when the wife loses the wedding ring that her husband should have worn in his sleep in his sleep, the barriers and rifts disappear in a hug and a drop of tears.
There is a god when you raise your head three feet, respect it, no matter whether it really exists or not.
