2024-02-15 22:35:15 +0000 UTCI wonder how many younger people might not understand that fact because Star Wars might be some of the first films they're introduced to. SW: ANH being one of the first films to have no opening credits.

2023-11-05 21:31:02 +0000 UTCA sensitive and heartfelt reaction (and pleasure to watch) as always Vee. You asked why Cole didn't tell Malcolm's ghost that he was dead - as far as I can tell, the answer is that Cole was convinced that wouldn't work. "They only see what they want to see" would seem to apply to only hearing what they want to hear as well - this is shown when the ghost of the battered wife perceives Cole's "Mama?" as her abusive husband asking if dinner is ready. When we re-watch the movie, one thing that becomes clear is that initially, Cole is as scared of Malcolm as he is of the other ghosts - even in the hospital scene where he confides in Malcolm, his facial expression and the fact that he has the blankets pulled up tight implies that he's still afraid Malcolm's ghost might turn on him (which in his experience would likely be the case if he told Malcolm the truth). The entire following narrative is about Malcolm and Cole gradually coming to trust one another by challenging their preconceptions each time they subsequently meet. The way I see it, the final piece of the puzzle for Cole falls into place when he helps Kira's ghost expose her mother's mental illness (FDIA/Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy) and in doing so saves her little sister from a similar fate. Her sister asks "Is Kira coming back?", and Cole replies "Not any more" with a degree of confidence we've not heard from him before - the implication to me being that he can no longer feel Kira's presence (and Malcolm's theory that the ghosts need help before they can move on would seem to be accurate). Not only that, but the ghosts cannot be told outright - they need to discover the truth for themselves. When Cole and Malcolm have their final conversation, Cole tells Malcolm that if his wife isn't hearing him out, he should try to talk to her when she's sleeping - and states (again with a confidence that becomes clearer on re-watches) that this will be the last time they see each other. How does Cole know that (about ghosts being perceived by the living in their sleep)? It's never explicitly stated, but my theory is that he's seen his mother respond to the ghost of his grandmother when she's sleeping - because it's established that Cole co-sleeps with his mother when he's experienced a particularly frightening ghost encounter. If that theory is accurate, it also implies that his grandmother "visits" to try to comfort and reassure them both.

2023-11-04 21:24:59 +0000 UTCIt's a movie - all interpretations are subjectively valid... That said, the way I see that scene is that it's making use of a parapsychology notion known as "Electronic Voice Phenomena" - namely the (supposed) ability of electronic recording equipment to pick up signals that human psychoacoustic tendencies would normally filter out. It's only after Cole explains to Malcolm (who didn't believe him at first) the physical cues surrounding the presence of ghosts that all of the living can pick up on - and Malcolm notes his response to those cues on the tape at normal volume (e.g. "It's cold in here") - that he goes one step further and boosts the tape recorder volume to maximum. For what it's worth, my interpretation is that the ghost's pleas in Spanish were always there to hear on the tape, but prior to Malcolm's beginning to accept that Cole's pathology might be beyond his expertise, he simply didn't know that turning the volume to max would reveal the truth.

2023-11-04 20:30:27 +0000 UTCI remember seeing this and although I didn't figure it, I did notice many of clues given throughout the film. I just was confused by them because I forgot about the shooting at the beginning since they just glossed right over. I love M. Night's films, all of them for different reasons. But my favorite is Lady in the Water. The performances in that film are incredible.

2023-11-04 04:25:27 +0000 UTCThe scene with the bumblebee pendent grandma talk at the end is my favorite. As a person who desperately wanted to be good at something for a long time as a kid and whenever I'd be on stage in elementary school singing stupid songs I wouldn't feel parental pride from my mom, I'd look out and find her in the audience and to me she looked bored, it kills me emotionally every time. Gotta watch M. Night's The Village. I know a lot of people hate it, but I love it. Superb acting.

2023-11-03 07:35:23 +0000 UTCI have a theory that because Malcolm was dead, he could hear the voice in the recording. But that may go out the window because they only see what they want to see. Perhaps he wanted to hear something in the recording and that ties it off, I guess, lol.

2023-11-03 05:35:04 +0000 UTCIf you wanna watch a Matthew Perry movie, check out "The Whole Nine Yards." Bruce Willis is in it too. Its great. One of my favorite comedies.

2023-11-03 03:46:12 +0000 UTCI knew you'd love it. This film hasn't aged a day. Such terrific work from everyone involved. I remember reading they weren't so sure about including the close-up on Malcolm after Cole reveals his secret. They decided to keep it and I think most were still none the wiser on the big reveal.

2023-11-03 00:21:12 +0000 UTCThank you for a heartfelt reaction. I'm glad you watched and reviewed this film. I've watched this film from beginning to end many times. The ending is still emotionally taxing but I'm more accepting of it now. Cole Sear is a 'seer' of otherworldly things. My favorite scene is when Cole finally understands what to do with his 'gift', if you want to call it that. When he finds the courage to push his fear into the background and listen to what young Kyra has to say, he has found the way to move forward with his life. The reveal on tape as Kyra's dad watches is a turning point for Cole. Another scene I like is when the young couple are shopping for jewelry in Anna's shop. The humor in the scene is a nice respite from the heavier parts of the movie. When the husband-to-be turns away as if to indicate, "I'm cooked", as Anna really lays the sales pitch on thick, after he has lamely tried to talk his way out of cheaping out on his fiance's ring.

2023-11-02 22:26:43 +0000 UTCBut it's all sprinkled through the movie... He never moves a chair, he never interacts with anything physically except his belongings, the door knob, and the window at the wife's shop. It was SO WEIRD to me as a Kid and I had guessed right. My favorite part though... Stuttering Stanley was awesome. Using ghosts to attack your bullies - THAT should be a movie

2023-11-02 21:07:11 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of the movie? Hmm... maybe me being 12 and realizing the ending about halfway through during the anniversary dinner scene. No one believes me to this day LMAO Spoilers in comment thread below if anyone hasn't seen this yet

2023-11-02 21:02:11 +0000 UTCWatching Bruce Willis hits harder knowing where his health is at. This man had some amazing films. I'd also like to recommend the ever chaotic but full of heart movie "Armegeddon" (1998) for at the time it was one of the most fun sci fi movies to come out. (If you don't get super analytical about the unrealistic stuf, it's a very good movie)
