If you choose to avoid it, you will be even more afraid. When you take that step courageously to face it, you will be surprised to find that the difficulty has become so insignificant.

Synopsis
Malcolm (Bruce Willis) is a child psychologist in Philadelphia, USA.
Although he helped many children to restore their mental health, he also chose to give up because some patients were too sick.
On this day, Vincent, a young man with severe anxiety disorder, broke into Malcolm's home. He had received Malcolm's psychotherapy ten years ago and was unsuccessful.
Vincent cried and asked Malcolm why he abandoned him in the first place, which caused him to endure years of pain.
Not only that, he also took out a pistol and shot Malcolm, then committed suicide.
One year later, the recovered Malcolm resumed his psychotherapy work.
A case caught his attention: a 9-year-old child with divorced parents, extremely anxious and withdrawn.
All the symptoms are similar to those of Vincent back then, and Malcolm decided to help the child to make up for his regrets.
The child is named Cole (Haley Joe Osment) and lives with his mother.
He seems very sensible, goes to school on time, often participates in school activities, and gets along well with his classmates.
In fact, these are all superficial phenomena. In school, almost everyone does not play with him. Some classmates and even teachers call him "freaks".
Malcolm wanted to help Cole, but when he asked Cole what he wanted, Cole's answer turned out to be: I want to stop being afraid.
What is he afraid of? Malcolm found it strange.
After a while, the relationship between the two began to heat up, and Cole began to confide in him.
But Cole's words are very outrageous and unbelievable. He claims to be able to see the dead.
Malcolm judged that Cole suffered from delusion, which was very similar to Vincent back then.
So he pulled out the tape that was used to treat Vincent, hoping to find similarities for further treatment.
After magnifying the voice 10 times, Malcolm discovered something terrifying. There was a voice on the tape that did not belong to Vincent, which means that what Cole said may be the truth...
Film Analysis
"The Sixth Sense" is a "ghost film" full of warmth. It has a slow pace, eloquently speaking, first suppressing and then rising, reaching a climax at the end, pushing the accumulated emotions in front to the climax. After watching the movie, we may change our view of "ghosts", from fear and fear to more sadness. After all, "they" used to be our family and the closest people to us.
Osmon, the child star who played Cole, was very cute at the time. He also played A-Gump's son in "Forrest Gump". However, like many child stars, Osmond did not make great progress in his acting career after he grew up. After he grew up, he was joked by netizens as "long disabled" and fell into the vicious circle of "child stars are hard to become popular again as adults". .
The most memorable sentence in the film was what Cole said to his mother, "People sometimes think that they have lost something, but in fact there is nothing, but it is just removed." And the film’s greatest touch is not the end. The unexpected reversal, but the feelings of Cole's mother for Cole, is very moving.
She is a very strong woman. In the face of this unusual family and special son, she did not slack or give up at all, but kept working hard to make her life better. Strange things happened frequently in the family, and normal people would think that it was her son who was making trouble, and she was the same, but she never beat and scolded Cole, but constantly used positive communication and education to solve the problem, even if most of the time , The problem was not resolved satisfactorily, but she still maintained a very good attitude when facing Cole. She showed us the kind of love that a mother has for her son deep into the bone marrow.
At the end of the film, the scene in which Cole and his mother were in the car directly touched my tears. Cole's mother's crying scene is like a textbook. The emotions are progressive, and the release after forbearance is reflected. very perfect. Actor Toni Klett also nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 72nd Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in the film.
"Even if the whole world thinks my son is a freak, I won't, because he is my own flesh and blood." This is what Cole's mother thinks, and she is also telling her mother with actions, "I want to make her feel Pride", one of the most important things is to be a good mother. I believe that making our parents proud of ourselves is something that every child wants to do, but when we have our own children, we will hold on to the idea of making our parents proud to be a good mother (father ) Dear?
Our parents will get old one day, but their love for us has not been lost. They have just been moved away and changed a place. Maybe after that day, we will never see them again, but I believe they are here. We can definitely be seen somewhere. Sometimes, they may appear in our dreams and talk to us. What we have to do is to strive to be a person who makes our parents proud of themselves every day.
"People sometimes think that they have lost something, but in fact they didn't. It was just removed." Maybe we shouldn't be afraid of "ghosts". After all, "they" were once the closest people to us.
