M. Night Shyamalan is the master!
This movie is excellent! As every M. Night movie is.
Great characters, great acting and a unusual, never been done before story!
Never pass up the chance to see a M. Night Shyamalan classic!
June 22, 2008 |  | Hmm...With apologies to Mr Jackson |  |
Interesting story line. My biggest complaint, I have a daughter with O.I. and as much as I love Samuel L Jackson's work, he was way to big and healthy for the role. The only way a man as big, strong and healthy looking could convince me he had O.I. is if he was one of those rare actors who could inhabit the role and become the fragile person the character was meant to be. I have not known many actors who could convincingly become that which they most certainly are not. It is a rare talent. I once had an acting instructor, 20 something at the time, with no make up, costume or props, he transformed himself into a little old man, before the entire class. That is a rare talent. This said, if you can ignore or get past this incongruity the movie is a fine piece of imagination and execution in all other ways.
June 4, 2008| | | Great movie, glitched Blu-ray | |
Unfortunately, the lossless PCM 5.1 soundtrack of this Blu-ray disc suffers from loud popping/distorion in the right surround at timecode 8:30-8:32, as well as in the center channel at 1:28:21. There are also other areas where less noticable distortion occurs. None of these errors are present in the disc's lossy Dolby Digital soundtrack nor in the DVD's lossy DTS soundtrack, so it is clear that Disney dropped the ball in encoding the lossless PCM soundtrack. For the price they are charging for this release, I hope they set up a replacement program with a new pressing to remedy the defective PCM 5.1 soundtrack. I recommend avoiding this disc until Disney addresses the issue.
April 3, 2008 | | Greatest Comic Mythology film ever made | |
This is M Night's best film in my opinion. It is the most grounded in reality and also the most emotional. I feel this film is way overlooked and misunderstood by most people. Thankfully someone in Blu Ray heaven loves it as much as I do. A great film gets is place on blu ray!
April 2, 2008| | | There is no twist at the end!!! | |
Why does everyone go right to the supposed twist of this movie? Just because The SIxth Sense had a "twist" doesn't mean that all of his movies do. Heck, almost any descent thriller has one, why do M. Nights always have to be a deal breaker for everyone? This is one of the most thought out and artisticly (is that a word?) directed movie he has made, some of the conversation takes between Willis and Jackson last over 3 minutes. That takes patience and skills as actors and as a director. The "twist" at the end isn't a twist if you see it coming, and I can't imagine anyone not getting it before-hand. It is just a revelation on Willis' part, the audience was way ahead of him (at least I was). A great, great movie. Can't wait for the blu-ray.
