Horror, suspense-labels such as this will make audiences have psychological expectations. The satisfaction and frustration of expectations can also increase the charm of the movie. If this technique is used properly, the audience will be stunned. "Sixth Sense" was able to make a reversal after arousing the audience's expectations. When Doctor Mike finally found out that he was a ghost, the tone of the film became clear: it was not to scare you at all, but to move you. From this, the audience can recall the film’s soothing and melancholic narrative style: no matter the camera editing or the sound design, the horror and suspense are just a jacket, and the “intuition of easy availability” triggered by them will not last long, but when we turn our heads. To think about the meaning of the film, our thinking must be guided by a strong emotion, so we move towards those beautiful emotional forces, such as trust, mutual assistance, and redemption. When you are tortured by your own "different", lonely, fearful, cold-eyed, bullied, and even misunderstood by your relatives, then someone is willing to come to you, accompany you, listen to your secrets, and understand you , Believe in you, help you out of fear, and finally you understand your wish together and get salvation-isn't it? A warm story, a moving ending. How many lonely hearts cannot be calmed, how many unfinished knots have yet to be solved, and how many rare exchanges need to continue. So, the point is not on the deadly ghosts, but on—let’s talk about ghosts—if there are souls, do you want your loved ones to come back often? Do you also need a messenger to communicate between Yin and Yang? Just like the grandmother of the little boy Cole in the movie, she worries about her beloved pendant and expresses her unsaid compliment to her daughter through the mouth of her grandson. Just like the little girl who died in the movie, with the help of Cole, tell her father a hidden secret to prevent more harm from happening. Just like Doctor Mike in the movie, under Cole's guidance, to someone who loves and loves himself deeply, he says: Love you forever. When you are full of affection for a person, this affection will not change because of the presence or absence of the tangible body, whether you are visible or not. It seems difficult to have no regrets in this life. When you have never been able to express your thoughts and guilt face to face, you would rather believe that this life is just a short journey, neither the beginning nor the end. Perhaps the lost beauty does not exist anymore, but only exists in a different place.
