{5\/5} “They don’t have meetings about rainbows.”<\/p>\n

The Sixth Sense<\/strong>, released in 1999<\/p>\n

Dr. Malcolm Crowe is a child psychologist who is trying to help a kid named Cole Spear. He’s had outbursts at school, he says he’s a “freak,” and he passes out after being locked in a closet. Malcolm gains Cole’s trust and Cole tells him his secret — he sees dead people. Meanwhile, Malcolm hasn’t been feeling like his old self since a former patient broke into his house and shot him.<\/p>\n

In Shyamalan’s first big movie, he does an astonishing job at creating a spooky atmosphere — of course, he’s aided by a talented cast and composer.<\/p>\n

It’s about a truth so unbelievable that a boy isn’t able to tell his own mother.<\/p>\n

I like the expression on the kid’s face who’s writing on the blackboard when Cole calls his teacher “Stuttering Stanley.”<\/p>\n

The twist is a glorious one — I would love to watch it again for the 1st time.<\/p>\n

Stars Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment, and Toni Collette. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (Glass<\/strong><\/a>). The eerie music is by James Newton Howard.<\/p>\n

This is probably the 3rd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
