Sorrow is deeper than fear

I actually watched this movie when I was in elementary school. Among the few horror films I've seen (according to my level of acceptance of horror, let's call it a horror film for now), this film really gave me a full shock, enough to make me relive my life after more than ten years. I can recall the horror of the living and the dead face to face. Although the little boy at the end of the film has found his "country", I always feel that the smile is reluctant, at least in my opinion, as a coward, I can't overcome my inner fear.
Today, more than ten years later, I have grown up and have not gained the same strength in my heart. But at least ideologically, the field that I can accept and comprehend can already give me enough sense of security.

What's so scary about the dead? Instead, there is a deep sadness that pervades them. It is this sadness that the film wants to convey. There is only one difference between them and the rest of us: that we can continue to see the sun in the next morning, no matter how depressed or happy, we have a new beginning. And they never got a chance.
It's just that they have been hurt and can't continue to survive in this world. Why give them a shadow of the devil?
Nothing but the fear of death and despair in the living. I am no exception. We, mortals, have always kept a distance from that world. But the understanding of the soul knows no borders or even the spiritual world. Good wishes and a sudden enlightenment from the heart are the eternal way for us and the undead to free ourselves.
Sincerely bless the deceased beings to truly obtain the liberation of their souls.

The Sixth Sense quotes

  • Cole Sear: [of his grandmother] She wanted me to tell you...

    Lynn Sear: Cole, please stop...

    Cole Sear: She wanted me to tell you she saw you dance. She said, when you were little, you and her had a fight, right before your dance recital. You thought she didn't come see you dance. She did. She hid in the back so you wouldn't see. She said you were like an angel. She said you came to the place where they buried her. Asked her a question? She said the answer is... "Every day." What did you ask?

    Lynn Sear: Do... Do I make her proud?

  • Cole Sear: She came a long way to visit me, didn't she?

    Malcolm Crowe: I guess she did.
