unexpected ending

Malcolm (Bruce Willis) is a well-known child psychologist who has helped many teenagers get out of their psychological distress and get them on the right track. But there was a time when a deranged patient lost his mind, stormed into Malcolm's house and shot him, and this event cast a great shadow on him. A year later, Malcolm meets Cole (Haley Joel Osment), a boy with the same psychological problems, who is sensitive and difficult to approach. Malcolm decided to help Cole get out of the haze. After continuous attempts, Cole finally let go of his guard and told Malcolm his secret. It turned out that he had yin and yang eyes and could see ghosts that ordinary people could not see. During the treatment, the relationship between the two became more and more tacit, but at the same time, he also discovered a more frightening fact...


The Indian-born director M. Knight Shyamalan himself wrote and directed The film was only 28 years old, but his grasp of the film revealed a maturity that did not match his age. Due to the excellent script, Hollywood Pictures took the opportunity to find director Shyamalan to discuss cooperation matters, and the two sides hit it off. When the script was written, the director decided that Bruce Willis would play the male lead Doctor Malcolm. At the same time, the film began to audition for a boy suitable for the role of Cole, and finally the 11-year-old child star Haley Joel Osment Stand out, in fact, before he entered [The Sixth Sense], he already had a little reputation. In 1994, Osmond, who was only 6 years old, played Forrest Gump's son in the Oscar-swept film [Forrest Gump]. After the success of the film, the British "Empire" magazine directly called "Haley Joel Osment's performance in the film is the best child star."

[Sixth Sense] won 200 million box office in that year, second only to [Star Wars Prequel]. Almost all of this is due to the director's sophisticated and complete conception of the plot. The film begins with Malcolm being shot by one of his own patients; then almost the entire film is about Malcolm helping Cole; and then the ending is first jaw-dropping, and then jaw-dropping. When seeing the ending, people will find that many seemingly scattered or insignificant events in the play have been explained in front of the ending, which not only makes the film reintegrated into a logical whole, but also a turbulent explosion of all the hints in the play. After watching the whole film, you will find that the biggest horror of [Sixth Sense] is by no means the little girl who foams at the mouth under Cole's bed, but the huge subversion of our accustomed horror expectations. If it is said that the "Top Ten Unexpected Endings in Hollywood" are selected, [Sixth Sense] must do my part.
