Shyamalan's sixth sense

When I could finally lie down on the sofa and rest, I watched such a film. I think it's sci-fi, it's not. I think it's a horror movie, it's not. I think it's a drama, it's not. I thought it was a romance and it wasn't either. When I woke up the next day, my husband said: I had two terrible dreams last night, both related to this movie. One is lost, the other is death.

Who is Shyamalan? Do you remember "The Sixth Sense" in 1999, he was the director and screenwriter. Also in 1999's "Little Elf Mouse", he is the screenwriter. In 2008, he was the director and screenwriter of "Destruction". The film was not well received, and was criticized a lot.

The first time I watched Ni Kuang's "The Second Kind of Man", I laughed wickedly and had no awe, but later I realized how superficial I was. Pure vegetative people died one after another during the ice age. One thing they did was to do everything in their power to preserve the advanced creatures on the earth at that time, especially focusing on preserving mammals. This is the source of tragedy. Later, one of the types of mammals became adults, and out of nature, pure animal people carried out bloody slaughter on pure vegetative people. "In the beginning, the situation was extremely terrifying. It was a primitive method of killing each other between people. If two pure animal people killed each other, the result would not be so tragic. But because of the appearance of the two people, it was completely In the same way, when two different people are together, the stone in the hands of pure animal people has cut off the aorta of the second kind of person, and the one who has cut the artery has no idea what happened! In less than 100,000 years, Our numbers have already lost more than 90%!" The words of Okun, a pure vegetative person in the book, are still impressive to this day. Later, I watched "Avatar" - Avatar, which received numerous praises. It is said that at that time, except for this film, the other films were bleak at the box office. At that time, what I was most interested in was the autonomic nerve points in the film that were more developed than humans, the huge connection system, which was regarded as the divine tree of the Virgin... After this film, I went to reread "The Second Kind" People", only then did I understand what Grandpa Ni wanted to express back then. Plants and animals, trees and people, what is not slaughter?

When I saw this "Death of the Dead", from the film itself, it made me feel that the structure of the film was not close enough, the characters were not clear enough, the narrative was not ups and downs enough, and the soundtrack and the film did not play a good contrast.. ....however I lay on the couch and still thought it was fine. Be nice to the plant, it can feel you. Trees have developed neural sensing points, they can transmit information to each other... Film is an art, and the skills are fascinating, of course, even if it is not achieved, use the most primitive way to convey your thoughts, I will say: Yes, Shyamalan, we got it.

Faced with an increasingly volatile and unpredictable world, is it too late for us?

Without bees, humans can live up to four years.
The natural world is amazing, beyond our comprehension.
