Exactly, and the fact she caught the imagery of the pop of red in certain scenes, that I didn't catch, there has to be some reason, maybe foreshadowing that he was dead. I watched this several times, and I never caught that.
Fabulous job! You might like another one that did this. Hard to find genuine sincerity with some that are out there....I already told LW what a joy it was to have her share this with us.
This scene is so well written. Giving the answer before we know the question gets us wondering what the question was and makes the reveal that much stronger.
You see M. Night Shyamalan in the opening credits and know that there will be a twist, but... we didn't really know that in 1999. This is the movie that earned him that reputation. This is a master-class on foreshadowing. You are right to want to re-watch it for the clues that you missed.
@o.b.7217 In my opinion, it is, because knowing that there'a a twist makes you spend the whole movie on high alert for clues to help you predict the twist. Whether you guess it or not, this prevents you from experiencing the movie as you otherwise might.
Yes, the car scene is probably the most moving performance I've seen by an actress in the last 25 years and I don't say that lightly. Simply phenomenal.
Muriel’s Wedding was the movie that brought her global attention and ultimately Hollywood roles. Australia have produced a lot of great actors given our small population. Love ya Toni ❤ 🐨
It's always endearingly amusing when reactors to this movie say: "I should have seen that coming, but I didn't -- how could I have missed it?" Don't feel bad ... NOBODY saw it coming -- and that's why the movie was such a phenomenon. It was such a huge risk by M. Night Shamalayan, to try to pull that off, because frankly, the entire movie wouldn't have worked if people did see it coming, and the whole structure -- and execution -- had to come off perfectly, without him ever tipping his hand. It's such a deft achievement.
I’ve seen reactors and friends predict it midway through before, so I wouldn’t say “NOBODY.” Some people tend to watch mystery movies like puzzle pieces, constantly analyzing every aspect of the film. I prefer to let a movie just happen to me, and try not to dig too deep into what they are hiding beneath the surface, simply because I prefer to discover things in a climax. Not everyone watches films in this way.
@@adnap I'm talking about 1999, when audiences first watched it in theaters. It's virtually impossible for anyone watching it years and years later not to have heard something about M. Night Shamalayan's reputation for twists, so some part of their brains becomes engaged in thinking in those terms, which changes everything. But in 1999 no one entered the theater with the mindset that "this is a mystery" or "let me figure out the twist" because this was the first film that earned him that reputation.
@@dishwaterhands No one but the kid talks to him the entire movie. Anytime he's with anyone else they're either sitting in silence or don't react to anything he says.
Cole coming back to ask the girl if she wanted to tell him something is one of the best depictions of bravery ever put to film. It makes me tear up every damn time.
"They only see what they want to see." This line is that final veil pulled away and you realize that most of the misdirection was facilitated by your own perception.
The WHOLE fkn theater gasped when that ring hit the floor. This movie was SO good random people would walk by you and say “go see the sixth sense” and nobody would spoil it 👍🏻💯
@@English_MoFo Whereas these days, people will tell people in advance that there's a great twist, and think they haven't played the spoiler just because they refrained from telling them specifically what the twist is. Which is absurd -- because just knowing in advance that there IS a twist spoils it , 'cuz now part of your brain is engaged in trying to figure out what it is. But when we went to the theater in 1999 to see this movie when it first came out, our minds weren't working that way -- there was no reason for them to -- and so we were completely surprised and shocked.
Yes, couldn't agree more...the comments b4 a movie is watched are just terrible. But I have seen at least 2 reactors "ask" what other movies have a good twist ending or plot twists....wtf. in the comments following, I saw suggestions of 5 or 6 movies, that have potentially ruined it for the reactor and some of those tuning on yo watch it. Oh well, times have changed, I guess.
@@brianmulholland1474yes! Last year I sat down to watch this, and told my 17 year old to sit with me…didn’t say a word…wish I had recorded his reaction, but it would have spoiled it for him.😮
Actually, the entire plot is revealed before the “I see dead people” line. The magic trick exchange is a preview of the plot. We start out seeing Dr. Malcolm being killed followed by smoke, mirrors and misdirection only to return to where we started, exactly what the film then goes on to do. The penny never left the first hand.
When he meets her at the Italian restaurant, at one point she looks directly at him as she's signing the bill, but it's due to the laughter of a couple sitting behind him. Such great direction on Shyamalan's part.
My favorite thing I discovered when I re-watched "The Sixth Sense" was the late-for-anniversary-dinner scene. It was staged in such a way that it's totally realistic that he thought he was there when, actually, no one was. At one point, he says something, and she looks up at him, annoyed, making it appear to him (and us) that they interacted. But, when re-watched, we see that people at another table get loud, and that's what she's looking up at. Brilliant filmmaking.
The car conversation is one of the best in any movie, ever. Toni Collette and Haley Joel Osment absolutely crushed that scene. Your empathetic heart and genuine emotions are launching you near the top of my reactors list. 😊
"Do I make you proud?" This line must have hit home with many, many viewers who have had similar experiences. Their parents passed away before they could make peace with each other. The child's questions, like "Did you love me?, "Did you know that I was sorry?", "Did I make you proud?" never got answered.
You were right about the red, Shyamalan said in the directors cut that he put something red in every scene to indicate some form of paranormal activity.
The only scene where there isn't a pop of red is where Cole gives away his secret. They relied on the actors and their emotions, and didn't want to give anything away about the twist.
In the theater, there was a universal gasp when we all suddenly realized. It was an amazing experience. The color red shows up before every appearance of a ghost.
I've seen a lot of reactions to this. Every other reactor goes through at least a few seconds of denial and confusion, and then a little more time to realize all the implications. You were amazing - as soon as you realized the twist you started crying immediately because you really "got" what it meant! 😲
As someone who has suffered from depression and has thought about killing themselves every day for over 30 years and fights those feelings every day, Donnie Wahlberg's line, "Do you know why you're afraid when you're alone? I do. I do," kills me every single time.
I think this character is the most impactful one that Bruce Willis has ever portrayed. The writing was masterful, but Mr. Willis' performance was key in hiding the reveal until the perfect moment.
It was also great because Bruce is such a big star that he has plot armor. You never expect him to die in any movie. No way they'd kill him off in the beginning of the movie. If it were a lesser known actor, the deception wouldn't have worked as well.
People focus so much on the twist, and often overlook just how heartfelt and touching it is. This movie clearly moved you deeply. Thank you for sharing.
I have to say, it was a joy watching your reaction to this movie. I could tell you really cared about the characters. Another subtle clue I eventually picked up after watching this again, was when Cole was running to the church in the beginning. I think he could sense Malcolm was out there, following him, so he got scared and ran into the church for protection. And when he leaves the church and says, "I'm gonna see you again, aren't I?" I think he was actually hoping he wouldn't see him again because he was still afraid and didn't trust him yet.
I love your reactions because you catch things that other reactors don't. I've watched a bunch of Sixth Sense reactions and you're the first I've seen that knew what Munchausen's was, and the first that commented on how prevalent the color red was throughout the movie, among other things. (Also, I have a soft spot in my heart for teachers since both of my parents were teachers).
Right? I was thinking the same thing! Even if people know about Munchausen's, they don't catch the insidiousness of the mom's conversation with Kira, or the fact that she saved her sister's life by going to Cole. She even picked up on all the nuances of how Malcolm was connecting with Cole as a psychologist, and one of the main reasons why Anna was having such a hard time--she was being haunted and couldn't tell anyone about it.
Who is to say it is munchasusens? When the only symptom is, was her murdering her own child?. So does that mean everyone who kills their kids has munchasusen? Don't get me wrong, in the movie, she probably did. However, are we doctors?
@@damienheaton7571 Of course we're not doctors, but it's clearly indicated from the mom's attention-seeking behavior, the dad's response ("You were keeping her sick"), the younger daughter falling ill, and the lack of another clear motive for murder, that Shyamalan intends for us to come to that conclusion. Not many mothers slowly poison their children over a number of years if they are trying to outright murder them. For an otherwise non-abusive parent, it's the most obvious answer.
@@damienheaton7571when a bone is sticking out of an arm, you don't need to be a doctor to diagnose it's broken. This is no less apparent. See @melanie62954 's answer above.
@melanie62954 I understand where you are coming from, I do. My problem is, that when we see males/fathers doing evil things, we blame the male/father, as we should. When a female/mother does evil things, especially to children, it seems to me every excuse in the book is made for her. Munchausens isn't very common excuse. However, PPD absalutly is. Now, I know PPD exists, I know and understand it effects mostly women (scientists actually proven that males also can suffer a simular version of PPD). However, what really gets me, is that 100% everytime, without fail, when I read about a mother killing her kids, the first thing everyone does, is scream "it's PPD", and the mother mostly gets most of the sympathy, without knowing all the facts. All they are basing their opinion on, is the fact the mother killed her kids. If you look at the difference society looks between males and females, performing evil things, it's a complete 180. For example, the Mass shooting in Maine a year or so ago, people were mad (as they should be) and deemed it an evil act (as they should). They didn't Care about the fact that the shooter is a veteran, with severe mental PTSD. I'm nor trying to turn this into a debate between males and females doing evil things, as I said, you make a very valid point. But not every evil thing a male does is due to mental health, and not every evil thing a woman does is due to mental health.
Tremendous reaction Lite! Your face when you realized the twist was priceless! I always lose it during the scene with the mom in the car and the whole "Every Day" line 😭
This is two movies in one. You can only watch the first version once, not knowing the twist. The second time you watch it, it's like a different story. Genius.
When you started crying when they were just talking about the things they did that day, I _KNEW_ you were going to be a mess by the time the 2 scenes at the end came around. Great reaction. You seem like a very compassionate young lady.
As a hermit, I really appreciate channels like this and I thank you for sharing these with us. It makes the lonely times not so lonely, plus you are super cool and a doll as well!
@@LiteWeightReacting When you've seen as many reactions as I've seen, you know what's important to convey the core of the story. Your editor did exactly that!
You really are a sweetheart! In all your reactions, it's clear that you have a big, bright heart and that you are a sweet and sensitive person. One of the most striking details is when Cole and Malcolm are about to enter Kira's room to receive the VHS, and Malcolm's reflection is not in the doorknob. Thank you for this reaction sweet girl!
"I got an idea on how you can talk to your wife" Wow, how am I JUST NOW putting the pieces together on that, he was telling him how to talk to her since he's gone. That blew my mind
And the character growth for Cole from "I don't think you can help me" to trying to think of ways he can help Malcolm. (And the way that line comes right after he realises that the ghosts are all people who need his help.)
I think my favorite realization on my first rewatch was in the initial interaction between Cole and Malcolm. Cole steps out his door and there’s a ghost watching him from across the street so he hightails it to the church but is followed in. Then he tentatively asks if Malcolm is good. Them resignedly confirms that this ghost doesn’t plan to leave him alone. Then by the end of their next meeting he’s willing to concede that Malcom is nice (unlike his interactions with a lot of others) but still tries to discourage him from hanging around trying to ‘help’.
Glad you had a better experience with this movie. Three years after the movie was released in theatres, I rented it, and others, from Blockbuster Video. Having a bad day, so I thought I'd ride the rest of it out with rentals. I turned on the car radio and listened to two local DJ's on the way back home. They were discussing movie plot twists, and one exclaimed, "Hey, what about The Sixth Sense and Bruce Willis being dead and didn't know it..."
None of us saw it. But, more importantly, you're clearly a very empathetic person with a huge, kind heart. It's a pleasure watching your reactions. Take care of yourself, it's a rough world and it can be hard on big-hearted people.
I was Cole when I was a kid, minus the whole seeing ghosts thing. Kids being forced to invite me to their birthday parties, pretending to have friends. I relate to that kid so much.
I remember in grade school, one of the more well off popular kids invited a bunch of other kids to his birthday party, but didn't invite me. His mom invited me later when she came to pick him up from school. I went, was having a good time most of the afternoon and then his dad around dusk was setting up their tractor to pull a bunch of us behind him through something. I don't remember what, because before all of us hopped in the metal carts with hay bales to sit on, the kid saw I was there. He walked over to me, looked at me with what I now know is contempt, and asked "what are YOU doing here?" I stared at the floor of the cart the entire ride holding back tears and retreated into myself. I don't remember the rest of the party except when my parents came to pick me up.
If you saw this movie when it was new and you were young, you thought it was a horror movie. Now, grown, you realise it's one of the most profoundly beautiful stories ever put to screen.
I watched it a couple of months ago. It was so much better than i thought it would be. I knew the ending . But the movie is so much more than that . One of bruces best movies
The brilliant thing about this film is that they don't hide anything... they give you all the clues from start to finish, but the director is fantastic in the way he puts it all together to keep you guessing anyway. Our brains are designed to fill in the blanks when we're not given the whole picture and he takes full advantage of this. This is why we don't notice that he never speaks to anyone but Cole for example. When he comes home from school and Malcom is sitting there with his mother... we assume they must have been in the middle of a conversation when he walks in. But we never ACTUALLY saw them speak to each other. This film came out before social media so a lot of people went into it not expecting the twist at the end. M. Night Shyamalan wasn't a well-known director yet, so people didn't automatically expect a twist from his movies either. Nowadays, movies like this get ruined online as soon as the first audience leaves the theater... even the press will write about it on opening weekend with spoilers in the articles, before most have had a chance to watch it. Different times back then, but allowed for some great stuff like this to be made and enjoyed properly... I'm glad now, that there is a whole new generation that hasn't seen it or have had it ruined for them yet.
it is fascinating how shymalan takes advantage of the movie audiences expectations and conditioning to hide the twist in plain sight we only see what we want to see
Same thing in the beginning when it says "The next fall", everyone assumes it means "One year later", but in the opening scene Anna remarks that it's starting to get cold. So it's very possible that it's the tag end of summer, but not quite fall. And that's why Malcolm missed his first appointment with Cole.
@@peachesnola7860 Yes... he simply says 'next fall' and it cuts to Malcom sitting on the bench. So we assume - oh he survived the gunshot then. We don't question it, because there he is alive and well - and it's the next fall.
I love Toni Collette in this. The mom. The scene in the car ALWAYS makes me cry. I love how she believes her son, how she takes care of him, how supportive and worried she is. I love how we get to learn she used to dance so there's a scene she's cleaning the house and listening to music. Just the little details. This cast is amazing, everyone delivered.
I love your reactions, I find myself saying out loud on many of them "Again? LADY?...Your crying AGAIN? LOL It is very endearing but at the same time it cracks me up haha.... It's pure though, never lose it.
Hey, it works🎉 Great reaction again! This was another one I vaguely remember but was basically blind, so glad I got to see it with you because that was really good!
An amazing movie, and an excellent reaction to it. Your intelligence, ability to grasp very small plot points in films, and your empathy make you incredibly great at film reactions. How Haley Joel didn't win the oscar for this performance still boggles my mind to this day. I know Michael Caine was great in Cider House, but man Haley Joel fucking KILLED it in this role, and should have won.
i just saw u posted this, im just about to press play, saw you tear up during some of the exorcist, because you got it, you felt it, you understood the horror....im willing to bet you have tears in your eyes at some point, def at the end....just a great movie and im really enjoying watching you react darling. very good stuff. keep it up.....and booom 7:45 luv u......update....omg you really had no idea...the way you commented on his wife, their relationship...ugh im legit crying all over again...soooooo goood
There’s great acting in this movie, but the scene that blows my mind all the time is Toni Collette and Hayley-Joel Osment in the car. Hayley is fantastic, but Toni is absolutely smashing it in that performance. Stunning.
Oh my word your sensitivity to these great films is so precious. I've seen this movie a half dozen times, I've seen a dozen reactions and yours is so special. You get all the subtleties from the get where it took me several watching. I love seeing these movies through your eyes. Thank you for sharing yourself with us faceless masses! 🤗
If no one has told you yet, the mother was played by Toni Collette, an incredibly gifted actor. Also the director was concerned that the color red was too big a tell and that it would spoil the twist.
Not only is her performance brilliant in this film, but it gets even better when you realise she's Australian and yet she nailed the perfect Philly accent like it was nothing.
@@tbirdparis I remember from an interview that she had a dialect coach with her on set and would go over her lines to make sure she had the accent correct.
I am not crying, you are crying! 🥺 This movie is such a timeless masterpiece. And we all fell for it. The reveal is crazy. And so beautiful, in a very sad way. Glad you made it through, wasnt easy was it? 😇
They don't make 'em like this anymore. What an amazing movie. I've seen this so many times and everytime I watch it, I still can't keep it together during the car scene with Cole and his mom, talking about her mom. What a genuine review that you did as well, the movie is just very emotional. Keep up the good work!
"I see dead people" has to be one of the most quoted lines in movie history! The quote was used at the beginning of one of the biggest songs of this year, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us". Another outstanding reaction! You enhance the enjoyment of every movie you react to!
Thank you for your reactions. This is an incredible film. Every now and then someone connects with this film so well, that I remember my own experience. I was crying with you all the way. I broke down when you finally KNEW! It is wonderful that it was never spoiled for you.
This woman is not afraid to release her emotions in the heat of the moment! I am overwhelmed by her acceptance of the video climax even as it resolves human mortality/immortality! You have a heart my Dear!
M Knight Shamalan was the hospital Dr. He said he realized he'd written a part for a child actor that didn't exist. Then he met Hayley Joel. Donnie Walberg, of New Kids on the Block fame, was Vincent.
I've seen this film a JILLION times, and the scene with Cole and his mom in the car absolutely destroys me every time. And now, watching you react the same way.......double the "destruction". Liked and sub'd for more! Haley Joel Osment was robbed of an Oscar for this one.
Back in the day at the theaters some women/ladies couldn't help but to sob and some cry; multiple times. "They see only what they want to see. They don't know they're dead." was the final giveaway for me. @LiteWeightReacting So... One of thee greatest movies of all time?!? For me yes, but I have not clue where it goes 'on my list' as I haven't reviewed it lately. "Must see" is a definite must! Yes about the 'previous guy' even to this moment I get goosebumps and I've only seen it since it came out.
Another detail, at the beginning Malcolm mentions hanging the award in the bathroom and she says he puts everything second. Meeting Cole he mentions he won an award once, it had a nice frame. During the reveal Malcolm tells his wife "you were never second, ever," he truly meant that with all his heart but neglected to tell her and couldn't leave till he said it. Beautifully done. An emotional and wonderfully compassionate movie reaction. 👏👏👏
Yet, there's a final irony in this scene. Malcolm tells Anna he needed to do two things: #1, he needed to help someone ... #2, he needed to tell her she was never second. In the act of telling her she was never second, he again puts her second after his work as a child therapist.
@@LiteWeightReacting Michael Caine for "the cider house rules". No offense to Mr. Caine, but his performance was not at all better than the 10 year old child.
@Liteeight YOU get it..... the scene with the mom and son in the car talking about her mom..... and the reveal about Bruce Willis at the end will always make this the best film this director has done so far..... protect your heart Madam :) it is wonderful do not let the world make you 2nd guess it. Your reactions are always so heartful :)
One of the most underrated "Ghost" Movies out there. The performance and chemistry from Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment is just stunning. The Ending gets me all the Time. To see the truth about Willis Character and then realizing why all the Scenes happen between him and his Wife - mind-blowing reveal. Also seeing Haley Mom getting told the truth about what he sees and the Moment about the Grandma...😢 This was another heartbreaking good honest reaction of you and I enjoyed it a lot. 👍🏼😎 Can't wait for your next Reaction.
This movie gets even better when you rewatch it. I've seen it several times over the years -- it's one of my all-time favorite movies -- and I think I love it a little more every time. Thank you for reacting to it.
39:29 A bad Shyamalan film is The Happening which may be one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever. None of the characters talk like real people, they try to outrun wind in one scene, Mark Wahlberg tries talking to a plant and when an old woman accuses him of wanting to kill her he goes "What. No" in an emotionless tone.
Great reaction Teegan like always. The attention to detail in this movie is amazing and makes it a fun rewatch. Every time there's a ghost and a human nearby there's something red. A red balloon leads Cole up the stairs at the birthday party. Cole's safety tent is made of red blankets. The horrible mother at the funeral is wearing red. The inexplicable changes of temperature from normal to so cold that you can see the characters’ breath can be explained by the fact that it only gets cold when a ghost is upset. So well done. There are others fun-facts about it, Walt Disney Studios' then-president David Vogel didn’t bother to consult with his superiors before paying $2.25 million for the rights to The Sixth Sense, and agreed to let Shyamalan direct the already-expensive film. Vogel’s boss was livid when he found out about the deal, and demanded that Vogel relinquish some of his power. When Vogel refused, he was canned. Actor Donnie Wahlberg lost 43 pounds for his role of Vincent Grey, changing his appearance so much that director M. Night Shyamalan did not even recognize him on the first day of filming. Shyamalan regretted casting himself as dr. Hill, He did it as a “nice little thing” to acknowledge his parents, who are both doctors. Unfortunately, the actor Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan wasn’t good enough for his director: He thought his acting was so bad that he cut most of his scene. Cole speaks a Latin phrase in church upon meeting Malcolm: “De profundis clamo ad te domine.” These are actually the first few words of Psalm 130 in The Bible. Translated into English, thy mean, “Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.” This movie story it’s similar to an episode of are you “Afraid of the dark” the 1994 episode “The Tale of the Dream Girl” shares a similar storyline to this movie, where a teenager named Johnny doesn’t realize that he’s dead until the very end of the episode, even though the only living person that talks to him is his sister Erica. (The audience doesn't realize it either.) This movie was one of only six horror movies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. The others were Jaws, The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs, Black Swan and Get Out. It was also the only one of these movies that did not win any Academy Awards. Keep up the good work.
Wow! There was a lot of great stuff in this comment. Thanks for clearing up everything about the color red especially cus that was bugging me that I couldn’t figure it out haha
@LiteWeightReacting without giving too much away, A man is a lone survivor of a catastrophic event, and dirsnt understand why. Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson. My favorite Bruce Willis movie after die hard, of course.
I know I’ve said this before in another comment, but your ability to catch so many details never ceases to amaze me. That and your level of empathy for these characters makes you, hands down my favorite movie reactor. I just get worried one day we’re going to break you with all these sad movies, lol. Fantastic reaction, as always.
This channel has fast become one of my favorites for reaction content. This was especially touching to see, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Stop crying!!! I'm crying!!! And I've seen this movie many times and never cried!!!! That felt very therapeutic...thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm all puffy now
I think how someone reacts to movies can tell about that person, specially how goodhearted they are. I loved your reaction a lot, when I saw the movie for the first time, I didn't cry at all. Now I did.
It's no wonder this launched Night's big-screen career. He's definitely had some hits and misses over the years, but I'm always amazed when I revisit this movie. There are so many little things to notice in both the writing and directing that both hide and foreshadow the twist in interesting ways, and I don't know if this movie would've worked as well if it didn't have a writer-director with such a clear vision. Combined with an incredible cast who all knocked it out of the park, it makes for a really excellent movie, and it's so heartwarming seeing others appreciate that. Great reaction!
That car seen was beautifully done, gets me every time. This is one of my favorite films of all time. The Village is another great M. Night film, and The Others with Nicole Kidman is also spectacular. Love your heartfelt reactions, looking forward for more 🎃
Brilliantly emotional reaction to an amazing movie that looks like horror but then punches the viewer in the feels over and over again. All three of the leads were absolutely their characters and sold the viewer hook, line, and sinker that they were Cole, his own mother, and Malcolm. Oscar worthy performances in my book. Especially for Haley Joel Osment who was so fricking young to be giving this intense a performance. But, to my mind, the unsung and unrecognized hero of the movie was Cole's teacher, and I'll explain. Cole was the outsider kid, the different one, the very reclusive one (as shown when Cole's teacher actually sounded surprised when Cole raised his hand to answer a question), the one considered a freak. He also had verbally attacked his teacher, and upset and unsettled him, by bringing up a fact that he couldn't have known and something that the teacher had worked hard to combat his whole life (and I speak as the son of a speech pathologist who was a severe stutterer throughout her youth but rarely stutters now, so I know how hard it is to overcome this). In spite of that the teacher was obviously on Cole's side, picking him to play King Arthur (we all know Cole would not have asked for the role, or any role) and supporting him throughout in spite of the one really bad moment. And I think that was well done and well played out because it would be obvious that the teacher, even without knowing Cole's gift/curse, would be wanting to include him and help him, because the teacher very likely was an outcast and a freak at school because of his stutter. They had similar childhood experiences even if for different reasons and I liked that the teacher was sympathetic and empathetic to Cole for that reason. And, as someone who taught for a while, I can imagine this teacher at home in the evenings considering ways he can get Cole comfortably and happily of of the sidelines and into the fun with his fellow students. And yeah, I'm an oldish (56) man who still has tears in his eyes throughout much of this movie. Shyamalan caught lightning in a bottle with this, his first major success, and I don't think he ever quite reached the level of that final twist and reveal again. So brilliant. Because it is in my nature to look for the happier things, here are happier movies with Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment (I've not seen Toni Colette in any really happy movies, but I've only seen her in two or three). For Bruce, Disney's The Kid is a good feel good movie, and Secondhand Lions is the same for Haley. 🙂
Toni Collette doesn't usually get enough praise for her amazing portrayal as Cole's mom. She's such a natural
That gal can act her ass off. This and Hereditary she is so phenomenal.
Add to that how hard she worked to pull off an American accent!!
She was absolutely critical to the emotional impact of this movie. Such a wonderful performance.
Huh she was nominated for an Oscar
Toni Collette is a legitimate artist with her craft.
This is the single best reaction I've ever seen to this movie, you're clearly a very empathetic person.
This is a HUGE compliment. THANK YOU
And thank you to the people who stand up for me! 😊
Agreed 👍
Exactly, and the fact she caught the imagery of the pop of red in certain scenes, that I didn't catch, there has to be some reason, maybe foreshadowing that he was dead. I watched this several times, and I never caught that.
Agree!!!!
Fabulous job! You might like another one that did this. Hard to find genuine sincerity with some that are out there....I already told LW what a joy it was to have her share this with us.
That ending with him opening to his mother is always a tearjerker.
Wasn’t expected but definitely is!!
Gets me EVERY single time no matter how many times I've watched it.
haley and toni are both phenomenal actors
Amazing acting!
@@javiermonarrez8666 the best!
“Do I make you proud?”
Ugggh. Gets me every time.
Such a gut punch!
This scene is so well written. Giving the answer before we know the question gets us wondering what the question was and makes the reveal that much stronger.
Instant waterworks
This movie makes me cry every single time. And I’ve seen it countless times between either on my own or a ton of reactions. Such a great movie.
You see M. Night Shyamalan in the opening credits and know that there will be a twist, but... we didn't really know that in 1999. This is the movie that earned him that reputation. This is a master-class on foreshadowing. You are right to want to re-watch it for the clues that you missed.
I saw it in the theater and I knew there was a twist. I still didn't see it coming.
Revealing that a movie has a twist is a spoiler in itself.
@o.b.7217 In my opinion, it is, because knowing that there'a a twist makes you spend the whole movie on high alert for clues to help you predict the twist. Whether you guess it or not, this prevents you from experiencing the movie as you otherwise might.
Right? First movie and it was amazing then there was The Village but by the time Signs came we like “yeah ok whats the big twist here”
Sometimes the twist is that there is no twist. Sometimes the twist is that it's just a terrible movie.
One of the most pure reactions I have ever watched. You have a kind heart.
Thank you very much Edith!!
The fact that Toni Colette doesn’t have an Oscar is criminal.
Between this movie and the dinner scene in Hereditary, she is so criminally unrecognized
Yes, the car scene is probably the most moving performance I've seen by an actress in the last 25 years and I don't say that lightly. Simply phenomenal.
Seriously!!! Is there a movie/scene where she doesn't kills it?!
@@ResidentKenDon't forget Muriel's Wedding.
Muriel’s Wedding was the movie that brought her global attention and ultimately Hollywood roles. Australia have produced a lot of great actors given our small population. Love ya Toni ❤ 🐨
It's always endearingly amusing when reactors to this movie say: "I should have seen that coming, but I didn't -- how could I have missed it?" Don't feel bad ... NOBODY saw it coming -- and that's why the movie was such a phenomenon. It was such a huge risk by M. Night Shamalayan, to try to pull that off, because frankly, the entire movie wouldn't have worked if people did see it coming, and the whole structure -- and execution -- had to come off perfectly, without him ever tipping his hand. It's such a deft achievement.
I’ve seen reactors and friends predict it midway through before, so I wouldn’t say “NOBODY.”
Some people tend to watch mystery movies like puzzle pieces, constantly analyzing every aspect of the film. I prefer to let a movie just happen to me, and try not to dig too deep into what they are hiding beneath the surface, simply because I prefer to discover things in a climax. Not everyone watches films in this way.
@@adnap I'm talking about 1999, when audiences first watched it in theaters. It's virtually impossible for anyone watching it years and years later not to have heard something about M. Night Shamalayan's reputation for twists, so some part of their brains becomes engaged in thinking in those terms, which changes everything. But in 1999 no one entered the theater with the mindset that "this is a mystery" or "let me figure out the twist" because this was the first film that earned him that reputation.
I figured it out when they attended the wake, because no one talked to Bruce Willis.
@@dishwaterhands No one but the kid talks to him the entire movie. Anytime he's with anyone else they're either sitting in silence or don't react to anything he says.
Cole coming back to ask the girl if she wanted to tell him something is one of the best depictions of bravery ever put to film. It makes me tear up every damn time.
Yeaa. Also how it took a ghost from being really frightening, as usual for a ghost, to just a sweet young girl who’s died.
So, so brave.
Haley Joel Osment was an incredibly mature actor for his age. This and Forrest Gump really show his emotional intelligence for such a small kid
Incredible what he was able to do at his age!
Pay it Forward, though it's kind of a garbage movie, has him acting well also
@@OneArmedRetroGamer - He's also in A.I. ... and that one will rip your heart out.
You'd like Secondhand Lions, I think. HJO is a teenager in it, playing opposite Michael Caine and Robert Duvall.
@@OneArmedRetroGamerI liked Pay It Forward!!!
"They only see what they want to see." This line is that final veil pulled away and you realize that most of the misdirection was facilitated by your own perception.
The WHOLE fkn theater gasped when that ring hit the floor. This movie was SO good random people would walk by you and say “go see the sixth sense” and nobody would spoil it 👍🏻💯
@@English_MoFo Whereas these days, people will tell people in advance that there's a great twist, and think they haven't played the spoiler just because they refrained from telling them specifically what the twist is. Which is absurd -- because just knowing in advance that there IS a twist spoils it , 'cuz now part of your brain is engaged in trying to figure out what it is. But when we went to the theater in 1999 to see this movie when it first came out, our minds weren't working that way -- there was no reason for them to -- and so we were completely surprised and shocked.
Yes, couldn't agree more...the comments b4 a movie is watched are just terrible. But I have seen at least 2 reactors "ask" what other movies have a good twist ending or plot twists....wtf. in the comments following, I saw suggestions of 5 or 6 movies, that have potentially ruined it for the reactor and some of those tuning on yo watch it. Oh well, times have changed, I guess.
@@brianmulholland1474yes! Last year I sat down to watch this, and told my 17 year old to sit with me…didn’t say a word…wish I had recorded his reaction, but it would have spoiled it for him.😮
Actually, the entire plot is revealed before the “I see dead people” line. The magic trick exchange is a preview of the plot. We start out seeing Dr. Malcolm being killed followed by smoke, mirrors and misdirection only to return to where we started, exactly what the film then goes on to do. The penny never left the first hand.
Precisely why this movie is geniusly written.
Cole's response is also genius writing, he knows the big reveal just like how he knew the penny never left the first hand
Just wanted to tell you that you have very quickly become my fav movie reactor!❤
That makes me so happy!!!
When he meets her at the Italian restaurant, at one point she looks directly at him as she's signing the bill, but it's due to the laughter of a couple sitting behind him. Such great direction on Shyamalan's part.
My favorite thing I discovered when I re-watched "The Sixth Sense" was the late-for-anniversary-dinner scene. It was staged in such a way that it's totally realistic that he thought he was there when, actually, no one was. At one point, he says something, and she looks up at him, annoyed, making it appear to him (and us) that they interacted. But, when re-watched, we see that people at another table get loud, and that's what she's looking up at. Brilliant filmmaking.
The car conversation is one of the best in any movie, ever. Toni Collette and Haley Joel Osment absolutely crushed that scene.
Your empathetic heart and genuine emotions are launching you near the top of my reactors list. 😊
"Do I make you proud?"
This line must have hit home with many, many viewers who have had similar experiences. Their parents passed away before they could make peace with each other. The child's questions, like "Did you love me?, "Did you know that I was sorry?", "Did I make you proud?" never got answered.
You were right about the red, Shyamalan said in the directors cut that he put something red in every scene to indicate some form of paranormal activity.
Came here to say this. Its very intentional and I'm so impressed it was noticed. I"ve not seen it recognised in any other reaction.
The only scene where there isn't a pop of red is where Cole gives away his secret. They relied on the actors and their emotions, and didn't want to give anything away about the twist.
The funny thing I realized just now is that Cole has a red sweater, which shows that ghosts are always around him.
In the theater, there was a universal gasp when we all suddenly realized. It was an amazing experience.
The color red shows up before every appearance of a ghost.
I've seen a lot of reactions to this. Every other reactor goes through at least a few seconds of denial and confusion, and then a little more time to realize all the implications. You were amazing - as soon as you realized the twist you started crying immediately because you really "got" what it meant! 😲
Well I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
As someone who has suffered from depression and has thought about killing themselves every day for over 30 years and fights those feelings every day, Donnie Wahlberg's line, "Do you know why you're afraid when you're alone? I do. I do," kills me every single time.
I think this character is the most impactful one that Bruce Willis has ever portrayed. The writing was masterful, but Mr. Willis' performance was key in hiding the reveal until the perfect moment.
It was also great because Bruce is such a big star that he has plot armor. You never expect him to die in any movie. No way they'd kill him off in the beginning of the movie. If it were a lesser known actor, the deception wouldn't have worked as well.
People focus so much on the twist, and often overlook just how heartfelt and touching it is. This movie clearly moved you deeply. Thank you for sharing.
I have to say, it was a joy watching your reaction to this movie. I could tell you really cared about the characters.
Another subtle clue I eventually picked up after watching this again, was when Cole was running to the church in the beginning. I think he could sense Malcolm was out there, following him, so he got scared and ran into the church for protection. And when he leaves the church and says, "I'm gonna see you again, aren't I?" I think he was actually hoping he wouldn't see him again because he was still afraid and didn't trust him yet.
Thank you! I didn’t notice that detail so thanks for posting it out. Glad you enjoyed the reaction!
I love your reactions because you catch things that other reactors don't. I've watched a bunch of Sixth Sense reactions and you're the first I've seen that knew what Munchausen's was, and the first that commented on how prevalent the color red was throughout the movie, among other things. (Also, I have a soft spot in my heart for teachers since both of my parents were teachers).
Right? I was thinking the same thing! Even if people know about Munchausen's, they don't catch the insidiousness of the mom's conversation with Kira, or the fact that she saved her sister's life by going to Cole. She even picked up on all the nuances of how Malcolm was connecting with Cole as a psychologist, and one of the main reasons why Anna was having such a hard time--she was being haunted and couldn't tell anyone about it.
Who is to say it is munchasusens? When the only symptom is, was her murdering her own child?. So does that mean everyone who kills their kids has munchasusen?
Don't get me wrong, in the movie, she probably did. However, are we doctors?
@@damienheaton7571 Of course we're not doctors, but it's clearly indicated from the mom's attention-seeking behavior, the dad's response ("You were keeping her sick"), the younger daughter falling ill, and the lack of another clear motive for murder, that Shyamalan intends for us to come to that conclusion. Not many mothers slowly poison their children over a number of years if they are trying to outright murder them. For an otherwise non-abusive parent, it's the most obvious answer.
@@damienheaton7571when a bone is sticking out of an arm, you don't need to be a doctor to diagnose it's broken. This is no less apparent. See @melanie62954 's answer above.
@melanie62954 I understand where you are coming from, I do. My problem is, that when we see males/fathers doing evil things, we blame the male/father, as we should. When a female/mother does evil things, especially to children, it seems to me every excuse in the book is made for her. Munchausens isn't very common excuse. However, PPD absalutly is. Now, I know PPD exists, I know and understand it effects mostly women (scientists actually proven that males also can suffer a simular version of PPD). However, what really gets me, is that 100% everytime, without fail, when I read about a mother killing her kids, the first thing everyone does, is scream "it's PPD", and the mother mostly gets most of the sympathy, without knowing all the facts. All they are basing their opinion on, is the fact the mother killed her kids.
If you look at the difference society looks between males and females, performing evil things, it's a complete 180. For example, the Mass shooting in Maine a year or so ago, people were mad (as they should be) and deemed it an evil act (as they should). They didn't Care about the fact that the shooter is a veteran, with severe mental PTSD.
I'm nor trying to turn this into a debate between males and females doing evil things, as I said, you make a very valid point. But not every evil thing a male does is due to mental health, and not every evil thing a woman does is due to mental health.
The acting in this movie is amazing; everyone did an unbelievably good job.
Really all the performances were amazing!
Tremendous reaction Lite! Your face when you realized the twist was priceless! I always lose it during the scene with the mom in the car and the whole "Every Day" line 😭
Being a parent hits really hard with this one!
This is two movies in one. You can only watch the first version once, not knowing the twist.
The second time you watch it, it's like a different story. Genius.
Never thought of it like that. Well put!
I didn't even recognize Donnie Wahlberg the first time I saw this.
Well done, Donnie!
I didn’t even realize. He was so good!
I’m glad somebody came here and mentioned that! He was only on-screen for a few minutes…yet delivered a tour-de-force performance.
He lost freakin 43 pounds for the role!
Certainly a long way from 2nd Lt. Carwood Lipton.
Didn't realize it was him til much later after seeing it
When you started crying when they were just talking about the things they did that day, I _KNEW_ you were going to be a mess by the time the 2 scenes at the end came around. Great reaction. You seem like a very compassionate young lady.
"Every time a person watches 'The Sixth Sense' without knowing the twist, an Angel gets its wings."
As a hermit, I really appreciate channels like this and I thank you for sharing these with us. It makes the lonely times not so lonely, plus you are super cool and a doll as well!
A toast to lonely hermits, like us.
Ditto
I just know that you're a great mom, from watching this reaction, with so much attention and empathy. A joy to watch as usual!
I've watched a ton of reactions to this film, yours was one of the best. EXCELLENT editing!
Thank you!! I’ll let me editor know!
@@LiteWeightReacting When you've seen as many reactions as I've seen, you know what's important to convey the core of the story. Your editor did exactly that!
You really are a sweetheart! In all your reactions, it's clear that you have a big, bright heart and that you are a sweet and sensitive person. One of the most striking details is when Cole and Malcolm are about to enter Kira's room to receive the VHS, and Malcolm's reflection is not in the doorknob.
Thank you for this reaction sweet girl!
"I got an idea on how you can talk to your wife"
Wow, how am I JUST NOW putting the pieces together on that, he was telling him how to talk to her since he's gone. That blew my mind
And the character growth for Cole from "I don't think you can help me" to trying to think of ways he can help Malcolm. (And the way that line comes right after he realises that the ghosts are all people who need his help.)
I think my favorite realization on my first rewatch was in the initial interaction between Cole and Malcolm. Cole steps out his door and there’s a ghost watching him from across the street so he hightails it to the church but is followed in. Then he tentatively asks if Malcolm is good. Them resignedly confirms that this ghost doesn’t plan to leave him alone. Then by the end of their next meeting he’s willing to concede that Malcom is nice (unlike his interactions with a lot of others) but still tries to discourage him from hanging around trying to ‘help’.
“There’s no face more sincere than one washed in tears.” ― William Shakespeare 😢💘
FYI M. Night played the doctor talking to Cole's mom. He always has a cameo in his movies.
Glad you had a better experience with this movie.
Three years after the movie was released in theatres, I rented it, and others, from Blockbuster Video. Having a bad day, so I thought I'd ride the rest of it out with rentals.
I turned on the car radio and listened to two local DJ's on the way back home. They were discussing movie plot twists, and one exclaimed, "Hey, what about The Sixth Sense and Bruce Willis being dead and didn't know it..."
Omggggggg that is the worst!!
That's awful!
None of us saw it.
But, more importantly, you're clearly a very empathetic person with a huge, kind heart. It's a pleasure watching your reactions.
Take care of yourself, it's a rough world and it can be hard on big-hearted people.
The ending made my jaw drop!
I saw this in the theater with my parents and I certainly didn't see the twist ending!
Can’t imagine what that twist must’ve felt like back in 1999 before he was really none for his twists!
I was Cole when I was a kid, minus the whole seeing ghosts thing. Kids being forced to invite me to their birthday parties, pretending to have friends. I relate to that kid so much.
😢
I remember in grade school, one of the more well off popular kids invited a bunch of other kids to his birthday party, but didn't invite me. His mom invited me later when she came to pick him up from school. I went, was having a good time most of the afternoon and then his dad around dusk was setting up their tractor to pull a bunch of us behind him through something. I don't remember what, because before all of us hopped in the metal carts with hay bales to sit on, the kid saw I was there. He walked over to me, looked at me with what I now know is contempt, and asked "what are YOU doing here?" I stared at the floor of the cart the entire ride holding back tears and retreated into myself. I don't remember the rest of the party except when my parents came to pick me up.
The scene in the car always breaks me, but your reaction had me rolling tears whenever you did. Great Reaction! 🤩😍🥺
If you saw this movie when it was new and you were young, you thought it was a horror movie.
Now, grown, you realise it's one of the most profoundly beautiful stories ever put to screen.
We enjoyed your reaction and enjoyed you as a person. Thank you for being real and open.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I watched it a couple of months ago. It was so much better than i thought it would be. I knew the ending . But the movie is so much more than that . One of bruces best movies
Really was so great. Gotta check out more of Bruce Willis’ movies!
The brilliant thing about this film is that they don't hide anything... they give you all the clues from start to finish, but the director is fantastic in the way he puts it all together to keep you guessing anyway. Our brains are designed to fill in the blanks when we're not given the whole picture and he takes full advantage of this. This is why we don't notice that he never speaks to anyone but Cole for example. When he comes home from school and Malcom is sitting there with his mother... we assume they must have been in the middle of a conversation when he walks in. But we never ACTUALLY saw them speak to each other.
This film came out before social media so a lot of people went into it not expecting the twist at the end. M. Night Shyamalan wasn't a well-known director yet, so people didn't automatically expect a twist from his movies either. Nowadays, movies like this get ruined online as soon as the first audience leaves the theater... even the press will write about it on opening weekend with spoilers in the articles, before most have had a chance to watch it. Different times back then, but allowed for some great stuff like this to be made and enjoyed properly... I'm glad now, that there is a whole new generation that hasn't seen it or have had it ruined for them yet.
it is fascinating how shymalan takes advantage of the movie audiences expectations and conditioning to hide the twist in plain sight
we only see what we want to see
Same thing in the beginning when it says "The next fall", everyone assumes it means "One year later", but in the opening scene Anna remarks that it's starting to get cold. So it's very possible that it's the tag end of summer, but not quite fall. And that's why Malcolm missed his first appointment with Cole.
@@peachesnola7860 Yes... he simply says 'next fall' and it cuts to Malcom sitting on the bench. So we assume - oh he survived the gunshot then. We don't question it, because there he is alive and well - and it's the next fall.
Great movie and one of the best reactions to the film. 👏🏽 I saw it in theaters and was sooo blown away! Really a story about grief and healing.
Such a warm and beautiful movie in the end, just amazing.
Really is so beautiful! Hit really hard as a parent!
I love Toni Collette in this. The mom. The scene in the car ALWAYS makes me cry. I love how she believes her son, how she takes care of him, how supportive and worried she is. I love how we get to learn she used to dance so there's a scene she's cleaning the house and listening to music. Just the little details. This cast is amazing, everyone delivered.
I love your reactions, I find myself saying out loud on many of them "Again? LADY?...Your crying AGAIN?
LOL
It is very endearing but at the same time it cracks me up haha....
It's pure though, never lose it.
I chose this thinking it would be a good spooky movie for October… not an emotional rollecoaster!
I am very impressed with your reaction. It is obvious you have an extremely caring heart. You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite reactors.
Hey, it works🎉
Great reaction again! This was another one I vaguely remember but was basically blind, so glad I got to see it with you because that was really good!
Haha woooo! It’s finally live!
An amazing movie, and an excellent reaction to it. Your intelligence, ability to grasp very small plot points in films, and your empathy make you incredibly great at film reactions.
How Haley Joel didn't win the oscar for this performance still boggles my mind to this day. I know Michael Caine was great in Cider House, but man Haley Joel fucking KILLED it in this role, and should have won.
Funnily enough red was a good color choice for this movie
I was shocked when my editor told me the meaning behind the red!!
i just saw u posted this, im just about to press play, saw you tear up during some of the exorcist, because you got it, you felt it, you understood the horror....im willing to bet you have tears in your eyes at some point, def at the end....just a great movie and im really enjoying watching you react darling. very good stuff. keep it up.....and booom 7:45 luv u......update....omg you really had no idea...the way you commented on his wife, their relationship...ugh im legit crying all over again...soooooo goood
There’s great acting in this movie, but the scene that blows my mind all the time is Toni Collette and Hayley-Joel Osment in the car.
Hayley is fantastic, but Toni is absolutely smashing it in that performance. Stunning.
Oh my word your sensitivity to these great films is so precious. I've seen this movie a half dozen times, I've seen a dozen reactions and yours is so special. You get all the subtleties from the get where it took me several watching. I love seeing these movies through your eyes. Thank you for sharing yourself with us faceless masses! 🤗
If no one has told you yet, the mother was played by Toni Collette, an incredibly gifted actor. Also the director was concerned that the color red was too big a tell and that it would spoil the twist.
Oh interesting! I definitely knew it was something but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it!
Not only is her performance brilliant in this film, but it gets even better when you realise she's Australian and yet she nailed the perfect Philly accent like it was nothing.
@@tbirdparis She's one of the few actors or actresses who have managed to pull off a convincing Welsh accent too.
Aussie here. I didn’t realise it was specifically a Philly accent- wow that’s even more impressive!
@@tbirdparis I remember from an interview that she had a dialect coach with her on set and would go over her lines to make sure she had the accent correct.
You have such a sweet spirit and thank you for your honest, vulnerable reaction. I knew the ending would take you through all of the feels!
I am not crying, you are crying! 🥺 This movie is such a timeless masterpiece. And we all fell for it. The reveal is crazy. And so beautiful, in a very sad way. Glad you made it through, wasnt easy was it? 😇
Yes I am definitely crying haha
They don't make 'em like this anymore. What an amazing movie. I've seen this so many times and everytime I watch it, I still can't keep it together during the car scene with Cole and his mom, talking about her mom. What a genuine review that you did as well, the movie is just very emotional. Keep up the good work!
"I see dead people" has to be one of the most quoted lines in movie history! The quote was used at the beginning of one of the biggest songs of this year, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us".
Another outstanding reaction! You enhance the enjoyment of every movie you react to!
Love the Kendrick reference! I hadn’t put that together yet!
It is
Thank you for your reactions. This is an incredible film. Every now and then someone connects with this film so well, that I remember my own experience. I was crying with you all the way. I broke down when you finally KNEW! It is wonderful that it was never spoiled for you.
Most people didn't catch the twist, despite all the clues they gave on the way. It does make for a good rewatch.
I had no idea! Can’t imagine what people were thinking way back in 99 when this came out!
You don't catch the twist on your first time seeing it, but you catch all the foreshadowing watching it a second time.
This woman is not afraid to release her emotions in the heat of the moment! I am overwhelmed by her acceptance of the video climax even as it resolves human mortality/immortality! You have a heart my Dear!
M Knight Shamalan was the hospital Dr. He said he realized he'd written a part for a child actor that didn't exist. Then he met Hayley Joel. Donnie Walberg, of New Kids on the Block fame, was Vincent.
I've seen this film a JILLION times, and the scene with Cole and his mom in the car absolutely destroys me every time. And now, watching you react the same way.......double the "destruction".
Liked and sub'd for more!
Haley Joel Osment was robbed of an Oscar for this one.
I think I can see why you used to be a teacher; you seem to care very much about kids. That's very admirable.
Back in the day at the theaters some women/ladies couldn't help but to sob and some cry; multiple times. "They see only what they want to see. They don't know they're dead." was the final giveaway for me. @LiteWeightReacting So... One of thee greatest movies of all time?!? For me yes, but I have not clue where it goes 'on my list' as I haven't reviewed it lately. "Must see" is a definite must! Yes about the 'previous guy' even to this moment I get goosebumps and I've only seen it since it came out.
Wassup Liteweight how are you today always enjoy your reactions and can't wait to see your next one 😊😊
Thanks! Omari I’m well and I hope you are too!
Another detail, at the beginning Malcolm mentions hanging the award in the bathroom and she says he puts everything second. Meeting Cole he mentions he won an award once, it had a nice frame. During the reveal Malcolm tells his wife "you were never second, ever," he truly meant that with all his heart but neglected to tell her and couldn't leave till he said it. Beautifully done.
An emotional and wonderfully compassionate movie reaction. 👏👏👏
Yet, there's a final irony in this scene. Malcolm tells Anna he needed to do two things: #1, he needed to help someone ... #2, he needed to tell her she was never second. In the act of telling her she was never second, he again puts her second after his work as a child therapist.
Time to watch Mrs. Lite cry 🥺
I often just skip to the “good bits” of different reactors vids of this movie, but not this time! Wonderful watching it with you!!!
Hailey really deserved the Oscar he was nominated for
Who won instead?
@@LiteWeightReacting Michael Caine for "the cider house rules". No offense to Mr. Caine, but his performance was not at all better than the 10 year old child.
I know Michael Caine is extremely talented but tough to see anyone beating out Hailey that year!
@Liteeight YOU get it..... the scene with the mom and son in the car talking about her mom..... and the reveal about Bruce Willis at the end will always make this the best film this director has done so far..... protect your heart Madam :) it is wonderful do not let the world make you 2nd guess it. Your reactions are always so heartful :)
Grown up Vincent was played by Donnie Wahlberg
Oh yes, I knew he looked familiar!
One of the most underrated "Ghost" Movies out there. The performance and chemistry from Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment is just stunning.
The Ending gets me all the Time. To see the truth about Willis Character and then realizing why all the Scenes happen between him and his Wife - mind-blowing reveal. Also seeing Haley Mom getting told the truth about what he sees and the Moment about the Grandma...😢
This was another heartbreaking good honest reaction of you and I enjoyed it a lot. 👍🏼😎
Can't wait for your next Reaction.
Never occurred to me that he played a stableboy because now he's a stable boy.
And was haunted by a stable boy at the birthday party
This movie gets even better when you rewatch it. I've seen it several times over the years -- it's one of my all-time favorite movies -- and I think I love it a little more every time. Thank you for reacting to it.
39:29 A bad Shyamalan film is The Happening which may be one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever. None of the characters talk like real people, they try to outrun wind in one scene, Mark Wahlberg tries talking to a plant and when an old woman accuses him of wanting to kill her he goes "What. No" in an emotionless tone.
Yep, that about sums it up LOL.
"Mark Wahlberg is.... ANGRY AND CONFUSED!" - Family Guy
This was a great reaction, you really pulled the tears out of me. Thank you for the wonderful content. Keep up the good work.
Great reaction Teegan like always. The attention to detail in this movie is amazing and makes it a fun rewatch. Every time there's a ghost and a human nearby there's something red. A red balloon leads Cole up the stairs at the birthday party. Cole's safety tent is made of red blankets. The horrible mother at the funeral is wearing red. The inexplicable changes of temperature from normal to so cold that you can see the characters’ breath can be explained by the fact that it only gets cold when a ghost is upset. So well done.
There are others fun-facts about it, Walt Disney Studios' then-president David Vogel didn’t bother to consult with his superiors before paying $2.25 million for the rights to The Sixth Sense, and agreed to let Shyamalan direct the already-expensive film. Vogel’s boss was livid when he found out about the deal, and demanded that Vogel relinquish some of his power. When Vogel refused, he was canned.
Actor Donnie Wahlberg lost 43 pounds for his role of Vincent Grey, changing his appearance so much that director M. Night Shyamalan did not even recognize him on the first day of filming. Shyamalan regretted casting himself as dr. Hill, He did it as a “nice little thing” to acknowledge his parents, who are both doctors. Unfortunately, the actor Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan wasn’t good enough for his director: He thought his acting was so bad that he cut most of his scene.
Cole speaks a Latin phrase in church upon meeting Malcolm: “De profundis clamo ad te domine.” These are actually the first few words of Psalm 130 in The Bible. Translated into English, thy mean, “Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.”
This movie story it’s similar to an episode of are you “Afraid of the dark” the 1994 episode “The Tale of the Dream Girl” shares a similar storyline to this movie, where a teenager named Johnny doesn’t realize that he’s dead until the very end of the episode, even though the only living person that talks to him is his sister Erica. (The audience doesn't realize it either.)
This movie was one of only six horror movies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. The others were Jaws, The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs, Black Swan and Get Out. It was also the only one of these movies that did not win any Academy Awards. Keep up the good work.
Wow! There was a lot of great stuff in this comment. Thanks for clearing up everything about the color red especially cus that was bugging me that I couldn’t figure it out haha
I am pleased with your reaction. It shows that you have deep feelings toward people that have problems. We need more people like you.
2nd best Shyamalan movie: Unbreakable
What’s that about?!
@LiteWeightReacting without giving too much away, A man is a lone survivor of a catastrophic event, and dirsnt understand why. Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson. My favorite Bruce Willis movie after die hard, of course.
@@BRTibbs79I think it's better than this one
Awesome!
I don’t know, this one set a really high bar. Unbreakable is very good though.
Highest praise to M. NIGHT for a magnificent work of art....R
5:02 Shame what ended up happening to Bruce Willis with his dementia and all.
Very true! Wow.
Your empathy makes for some excellent reactions, Lite!
I know I’ve said this before in another comment, but your ability to catch so many details never ceases to amaze me. That and your level of empathy for these characters makes you, hands down my favorite movie reactor. I just get worried one day we’re going to break you with all these sad movies, lol. Fantastic reaction, as always.
This channel has fast become one of my favorites for reaction content. This was especially touching to see, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Stop crying!!! I'm crying!!! And I've seen this movie many times and never cried!!!! That felt very therapeutic...thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm all puffy now
I love that you fell for the whole first part of the movie so hard. lol Makes the reveal at the end so much better.
I think how someone reacts to movies can tell about that person, specially how goodhearted they are.
I loved your reaction a lot, when I saw the movie for the first time, I didn't cry at all. Now I did.
It's no wonder this launched Night's big-screen career. He's definitely had some hits and misses over the years, but I'm always amazed when I revisit this movie. There are so many little things to notice in both the writing and directing that both hide and foreshadow the twist in interesting ways, and I don't know if this movie would've worked as well if it didn't have a writer-director with such a clear vision. Combined with an incredible cast who all knocked it out of the park, it makes for a really excellent movie, and it's so heartwarming seeing others appreciate that. Great reaction!
I have watched many reactions to this movie, and I absolutely LOVED your reaction! This has to be the best one ever!
❤️
Big thank you!! This means a lot!
That car seen was beautifully done, gets me every time. This is one of my favorite films of all time. The Village is another great M. Night film, and The Others with Nicole Kidman is also spectacular. Love your heartfelt reactions, looking forward for more 🎃
Brilliantly emotional reaction to an amazing movie that looks like horror but then punches the viewer in the feels over and over again. All three of the leads were absolutely their characters and sold the viewer hook, line, and sinker that they were Cole, his own mother, and Malcolm. Oscar worthy performances in my book. Especially for Haley Joel Osment who was so fricking young to be giving this intense a performance.
But, to my mind, the unsung and unrecognized hero of the movie was Cole's teacher, and I'll explain. Cole was the outsider kid, the different one, the very reclusive one (as shown when Cole's teacher actually sounded surprised when Cole raised his hand to answer a question), the one considered a freak. He also had verbally attacked his teacher, and upset and unsettled him, by bringing up a fact that he couldn't have known and something that the teacher had worked hard to combat his whole life (and I speak as the son of a speech pathologist who was a severe stutterer throughout her youth but rarely stutters now, so I know how hard it is to overcome this). In spite of that the teacher was obviously on Cole's side, picking him to play King Arthur (we all know Cole would not have asked for the role, or any role) and supporting him throughout in spite of the one really bad moment. And I think that was well done and well played out because it would be obvious that the teacher, even without knowing Cole's gift/curse, would be wanting to include him and help him, because the teacher very likely was an outcast and a freak at school because of his stutter. They had similar childhood experiences even if for different reasons and I liked that the teacher was sympathetic and empathetic to Cole for that reason. And, as someone who taught for a while, I can imagine this teacher at home in the evenings considering ways he can get Cole comfortably and happily of of the sidelines and into the fun with his fellow students.
And yeah, I'm an oldish (56) man who still has tears in his eyes throughout much of this movie. Shyamalan caught lightning in a bottle with this, his first major success, and I don't think he ever quite reached the level of that final twist and reveal again. So brilliant.
Because it is in my nature to look for the happier things, here are happier movies with Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment (I've not seen Toni Colette in any really happy movies, but I've only seen her in two or three). For Bruce, Disney's The Kid is a good feel good movie, and Secondhand Lions is the same for Haley. 🙂
I've seen this movie so many times over the years that I don't get as emotional anymore. But your reaction to this made me cry with you
