Haley Joel Osment should have won the Oscar for this. He is the whole reason this movie is scary: we feel his fear and his fear is so real and so palpable. One of the best performances by an actor, of any age. I saw this, at the theatre, before the spoilers, and it was riveting.
One of a very select few movies I’ve ever returned to see again in theater. Great the second time. Also “There’s Something About Mary”. Mostly because I couldn’t hear many of the lines over the laughter.
I have loved him since his ‘Moonlighting’ days. He just always had that certain something. The nice looking guy, sweet, chivalrous, with a great sense of humor. I’m so sad for what he’s going through right now.
I never really cared for him until I saw this movie. I saw him as a strong, protective adult in the room, unlike the usual loudmouth douche he was in everything else. And I really loved Moonlighting. Just not him or his character. But this movie changed him completely in my mind. He made me feel safe when he was on the screen.
That's the way I feel too. I have grown up with Bruce from Moonlighting to today and even though I never met him, I feel like I am going to be so sad when his time comes.😢 But I sincerely hope he knows how much he'll be missed. Sure, I know he's not perfect but who really is? I'll always have the best memories of him from his performances alone.❤
American Beauty was cold and sterile, with disturbing subject matter. It was very clean and professionally done. However, there really wasn’t anything to truly enjoy in the experience of watching it. A one and done film. The Sixth Sense was a heck of a ghost story, complete with excellent performances, wonderful story telling and great direction. It was a truly enjoyable experience that people wanted to see multiple times so as to pick up in what they previously missed. The Sixth Sense was easily the better of the two, so it was no surprise American Beauty won Best Picture.
@@vinceventresca6763 That was one of the best , summaries of American Beauty! I hated it, I fell for the hype, but appreciated cinematography. It's one of those movies, for me that the characters are unhappy due to their own (poor?) choices in life.
Haley should of won the Oscar for this movie, that year micheal Caine won.. haleys performance is so believable and touching in this film.. unbelievable for his age!
I saw Haley in an X File which was surprising. He did not grow up to be the slight boy turned into thin man. His acting skills were awesome as a child, and as an adult.
Okay, stop right there. 😭 Poor little Cole, bless him and his big heart. The soldiers who can't come home and his connection with them is heartbreaking.
The chemistry Bruce has with Haley is very real looking especially when he’s playing with the soldiers. It makes me think that he’s an caring and understanding father.
He made the right choice cutting all of these scenes. It didn’t make sense him helping out spirits all while being deathly afraid and/or assaulted by them and the original ending was heart wrenchingly beautiful! 👍🏾
Yes I agree, although all of these scenes are masterful in their own right and it was too bad they had to go! 😩 Thank you Mr. Shayamalan for your sacrifices and for your amazing sensitivity and patience with your actors, giving them the time and space to do or say whatever they felt necessary at the time. 👌
I loved the soldier scene. Haley Joel’s acting isn’t acting.. it’s living life out and has true emotions. This kid was born an old soul. Love his character. Love him. And Bruce Willis is phenomenal. By far my favorite movie of them both. I still tear up when I watch it. Wow. What a gift to have a sixth sense.
You should watch Empire of the Sun and To Kill a Mockingbird. Christian Bale in EOTS and Mary Badham in TKAM showcased child talent beyond belief. Of the three movies, Christian Bale’s work in Empire of the Sun should have resulted in an Academy Award.
No it's not. I guessed the doctor was a ghost within minutes of him appearing with Cole or maybe after he got shot, I cant remember the movie much now. I seen better movies. One of my favourites is The Japanese Story. I think it can be improved on but it's a movie that stays with you a long time. This movie didn't, but then again we are all different.
Any movie that can totally surprise me at the ending is a good movie to me as I can usually figure out what's gonna happen in movies. At the end of this movie I was like "Wait. Whaaat?" Then I immediately had to watch the movie again just to see that his wife never actually responded to anything he said. I remember wondering why he could just walk upstairs in a house of ppl he didn't know (little girl poisoned scene funeral get together at house), I thought "oh he can just walk upstairs in someone's house". It was lots of little things, I thought how it was a stupid movie just because of things like that. So when it ended, I was amazed. Absolutely stunned and immediately re-watched it and thought how the movie was just brilliant! It fooled me! Unexpected ending! BRAVO! EXCELLENT! This is my favorite movie of all time. SCENT OF A WOMAN is right behind it.
One of my favorite movies. I’ve seen it many times. Great story and great acting. As we lose Bruce Willis to a devastating disease, this is one of the roles I’ll remember.
The scene with the old man could have happened at the end, maybe with his mother watching, to show how much Cole grew and was able to help people without fear
It could've been done after the play right before Bruce's last conversation with his wife. However would've had to be reshot with mom standing in Bruce's spot. Probably would have been cut again for time restraint.
Haley must have an astounding emotional IQ - super genius. I'm glad and deeply moved to have seen these scenes. They show a depth so human and hidden that it's stunning. Willis' role is also illuminated. What a movie! It bring us into other dimensions where love and and compassion demand to take front stage in human existence.
Bravo, M. Nights Shayamalan! Wonderful work. Wonderfully difficult choices when cutting these scenes. Brilliant film. I believe this is one of the few films that truly raised the bar in filmmaking history.
When you watch this movie and are so shocked and surprised in the end, you have to go back and watch it again and then you pick up on all the clues. The soldier scene with the two dead soldiers definitely would’ve fit right in. First time around it wouldn’t have seemed like much, just a kid making up the story. Second Time around when you actually knew what was going on? I would have cried my eyes out!
This movie showed that Willis was a great actor. He has the ability to show a wide range of depths of emotion. It’s sad that he has fallen into complacency and only shows up know one dimensionally.
I almost didn't go to that movie because I couldn't stand Bruce Willis. I left with entirely new perspective of him. He was more heroic in this than in any of his action films. He made me feel safe when he was on the screen with Cole. I knew the ghosts wouldn't hurt him if he was there.
This was and is one of the greatest movies ever filmed. Probably in the top five of all time. This movie brought it all, acting, script, emotion, fear , sadness and an unbelievable surprise. It’s simply genius. Congratulations. Try to top that one.
I remember watching that too, especially when Cole comes home from school to see his mom and “Malcolm” sitting opposite each other and not even talking. I was like, “Well that’s kind of strange that the mom doesn’t even say anything or at least introduce Cole to the Dr.” After watching the end that’s when I put two and two together.
Another thing that sort of gives away that Malcolm is a ghost is that sometimes Cole seemed surprised at seeing him, like in the bus scene, where he's going to the little girl's house. But what really gave the whole thing away, for me, was the 'info dump' scene where Cole says "I see dead people. The dead don't know they're dead, they only see what they want to see. And the dead can't see the other dead..." Too much information, a 'dead' giveaway!
Yeah, and I think that is another reason it was wise to cut that scene. I might have been more likely to wonder about him just walking into that guy's house and not getting offered any lemonade. ;-)
When we watched this for the first time we rented it, and my mom called it in the first 10 minutes and we laughed because that was a ridiculous thing to think - she was understandably upset with her 3 teenagers mocking her so she got up and left watching it. About halfway through, we started noticing Bruce wasn't acting normally around the kid and when it was revealed we were all shocked and I remember shouting "mom you were right?!!!" And her shouting back "I'm always right! I'm your mother!" 😅
I loved this movie, I never saw it coming. I though Bruce Willis was a person, never doubted it, even when he was at supper with his wife. I have ever yet to see such a great show, that moves along with just enough info to keep the movie easy to follow. You we’re right to keep these scenes out. A real gem of a movie.
@@michaelhamerin3814 too bad because I didn’t and blew my mind. Kinda neat getting fooled like that. I too do that to my wife, I’ll say I figured it out then she does and it’s way father 8nto a movie. It’s nice to figure it out, but more to have them fool you. I looked back and said ”ah I should of saw that”, but still nice to be fooled.
@@Dan-qt7kq Yes, I agree. What bummed me out me was that it seemed too easy. I never considered it to be very well constructed. I'm glad it was entertaining for so so many, but I still didn't see it as such.
The most amazing film. It was brilliantly written and acted. The ending blew me away. As other people have said, when you watch it again the clues are all there. Superb.
We only see Cole’s perspective a few times. At home, he has everlasting encounters with ghosts, sequentially. Cole may actually be crowded with ghosts, but the ghosts don’t see each other, so we only see one at a time.
@@emilymccormick6006 Remember...he says, "They only see what they want to see"? If they didn't know each other in life, there would be no reason to see each other (or want to) in death. That's my take on it anyway.
Sadly not everyone was that respectful, I remember my older sister telling me a friend of her boyfriend, all teenagers at the time , had opened the theatre door and yelled “Bruce Willis is dead” to the entire audience. Thankfully most people weren’t that thoughtless.
I was teaching a college class at the time. I had just seen the film and told them they needed to all see it by the following week so we could discuss it. A student in class said in front of the entire class, "I already saw it and I cannot believe..." and told the freaking ending. I was furious. 🤦♀️
This movie hit me like a freight train…..I went into a mini-depression for weeks, even thought it was a happy ending, the content just ripped my heart out.😰
Yessss me too! Also…. His lady in the water movie I was crying my eyes out because I knew and experienced things like that but never had anyone there to help or believe me, the way the renters pulled together was amazing! He’s the best writer director ever!!
I was so bamboozled that the “secret” of this film was so carefully guarded! I heard how great the film was, what a great job the actors did, the AMAZING job done by the director, etc. It made me feel like I was looking at a picture and missing the picture within the picture! This is definitely in my top 5 movies of all time and I thank everyone involved.
At 13:30 I can hear my dads whistle he passed last year . It’s a whistle similar to my dads, his whistle was his way of calling us in after playing outside or to get our attention. Te extraño padre.
Omg , again what an amazing sequence. This movie is Epic. These Actors, and Night is a prolific thing that is no longer made in movies today. I miss the quality of movies made by Magicians like Shyalaman.
He is in the Netflix series "The Komisky Method". He is introduced in the last episode on the second season and is a recurring character in the third season.
I felt there were missing scenes, did not realise how good they would be, how they fleshed it out. The final cut was "jumpy". Profound story, so so good. I feel the astral world is very real and effects our inner life all the time.
The best Shamalayan film ever. Great direction, cinematography, acting, storytelling, you name it! Toni Collette is in two of my all time horror films. This one, obviously, and "Hereditary". Both films are in my Top 10.
@@Veronica.A.I think ppl that can see and talk to the dead and have psychic abilities are on a different spiritual plane than most ppl. I feel like there is a godly thing going on with these ppl.. like god chose them.
I remember seeing the Mr Marschal scene when The Sixth Sense came on TV one time. Nobody believed me! LoL I thought it was such a poignant scene!!! But I was really beginning to think I had imagined it! I’m soooo happy to have come across this video! 😅😅😅
emily endicott • So, I wasn't the only one! I loved that scene and looked for it in every showing after that to no avail. Of course I had thought he was dead from the start, so all those little clues just verified what I thought to begin with. You had to have figured it out from the wake, right, I mean he was there with all those people and no one wondered who he was or why a stranger was at this child's wake?
Bruce and Haley were magnificent together. I definitely believe, this mesmerizing and emotional movie, deserved, the Academy Award, and both actors, with M. Knight, the Oscars. Also Kudos to wonderful actor, Toni Collette for best supporting performance! She got the Philly accent down pretty good. I lived in Philly and worked around that area for months, at that time to. Great memory.
i love this film. the kid is very good. that scene with the soldiers is so poignant. i see why you took the scenes out of the story, but i’m so glad to see them as they really add more depth to the boy’s character. Bruce Willis is such a good actor - he carried out the subtleties of his character so well. so thank you so much for showing us these scenes. you are a fantastic director. and thank you, Filmingmentory for posting this. it is so appreciated :) 🌷
Several scenes stunned me. Not because they were necessarily original, but Because of the actors in this movie. When Willis is shot in the beginning, and the man who does it reveals his inner pain. 2) When Hailey & his Mom are in the car and Hailey explains all about his Mom,'s Mom to her. Collette's reaction to finally believing her boy who sees dead people is Remarkable 3) When Hailey takes the Dr to the receptuon after the funeral, and Hailey hands the grieving Dad the tape that shows his wife killing their child. The Dad's horror on his face is in itself worthy of a Oscar. 4) The obvious compassion Haily shows in this film for everyone 5) The interaction between Collette & Hailey as Mom & child is so touching. The iconic films are the ones that are original in storyline and have the right actor to play each character in orginality.
Even though I realized about halfway through that He was dead. I still hung on to every scene. Just watching Haley's/ Bruce's performance was phenomenal! It nearly broke my heart that the two of them were trying to help each other throughout the movie!
Loved this movie when it first came out. Stiil do. I fully understood it without the cut scenes. Mr. Bruce Willis, so sorry of your terrible suffering (2023). 💔 You gave us all so much entertainment through the years. Best to you sir.
The actor playing Mr. Marshall played another grieving character in the movie, “Angel Heart”…another movie that confused the audience until the end. Mickey Rourke did fantastic job. If you liked “Sixth Sense”. You’ll enjoy the far darker, “Angel Heart”.
@Rhonda Bothelio It’s so funny that you say that.🤣 I, too, had to immediately rewatch it to make sure I understood it correctly. I really don’t know why that movie didn’t garner lots of awards… I thought the photography was excellent …it really created that eerie mood that pulled you into the story. And the writing was very skillful. Both the audience and Mickey Rourke’s character were being fed clues via a drip feed… it skillfully kept him and you confused. Talk about audience participation!! One of my all time favorite movies…. Rourke was at the top of his game.
@@maryscheitler2488 I suggest you view it on a format which you can rewind or replay…because you’ll be saying to yourself, “Wait a minute! Did I miss something? What exactly was said then?” You and Mickey Rourke move through the film equally confused. I thought that was very clever writing.
Exactly what I was thinking. It was odd for Malcolm to be in Mr.Marschall's house without introducing himself. The scene sort of gives away that Malcolm's a ghost.
But remember, it was the same situation when Malcolm was sitting with Cole's mother, we assumed they had been talking and were interrupted when Malcolm came through the door. Most of us quickly explained it away in our minds because like the great writer said, we have the, "see what we want to see" mentality which made his writing come alive on film! Another AMAZING movie by M. Knight Shyamalan!! ♥️👏👏👏🏆❤️
I tell ya. It was and is still one of my favorites movies ever. You did everything right. I went and watched it a second time and took it on even more. Sometimes story tellers are better than the beholders. It will never change. Thank you for a truly beautiful work of art.
I agree, this film, followed by "The Others", which was clever and heart -wrenching in its own unique way, but not as profound, human, beautiful, spiritual, and deeply moving as "The Sixth Sense".
I really really wish that M Night made a movie showing Cole as an adult, still helping the dead. Vincent couldn't handle the blessing/curse he was given. Whereas Cole could. Haley Joel Osmond is an incredible actor. I hope he reads this. Bradley in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 🦘
@Filmingmentary. M Night Shayamalan is one of the best directors around. Genus at His Craft & Certainly a Gift when it comes to making a movie.... Thanks for posting these deleted scenes....
Mr Marshall's scene would have given away too much. Another adult who ignores Malcolm, who doesn't invite him in, or offers him a drink. I understand we need to fill those gaps, but many people (not me, for sure 😅) could have guessed the reason.
That's true. When I first saw the movie, I had an inkling of the twist during the scene where Malcolm and Cole's mother were sitting together in the living room -- but not talking. And, when she left the room to make triangle pancakes, she didn't acknowledge that she was leaving Cole to his session with Malcolm. This would have clinched it.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time especially since this used to be the exact neighborhood I lived in. Beautiful neighborhood and beautiful memories.
I loved this video with your description of the deleted scenes. Great storytelling and character development. I do not know what your belief system is but the affect of the child’s benevolence toward the elderly man is so in keeping of what I know to be true; our kindness to others has a long term effect. Perhaps you will release a version of the film with the deleted scenes with your comments during or after the film.
This movie and The Others blew my mind with the "big reveal" at the end. Oh, and Identity did the same thing, but not quite to the same degree as The Sixth Sense and The Others. With Identity, the reveal just kind of put everything into perspective and I was like "Ohhhh, now I get it", but The Sixth Sense and The Others made me go "Wait! WTF? Holy crap!"
I do wish these scenes had not been cut, especially the Mr Marshal scenes. I think I could have dealt with the initial confusion better than the vomiting child ghost. It adds compassion to Cole's gift. And I don't think the goodbye was redundant. I saw the original cut. It was shocking. But I don't think the deletion of these cuts would have taken away from the shock or horror, or the compassion of the entire film.
i disagree, i think it was best mr marshal's scene was cut. when Willis' character is at cole's house scenes are set up to make you believe he has already been interacting with Cole's mother and now he's there soley to interact with Cole as his psychiatrist. At the wake you don't give much thought as to why no one was talking to Willis' character but in Mr Marshal's home its very perculiar. you just have this stange man in your house lurking in a corner and your not going to address it. Also, the scene takes away from the impact Willis' character has on Cole. in the final cut you have a terrified boy dealing with this horror and no one to confide in. Willis' character comes along and Cole starts to open up to him and Willis is able to direct him in a positive direction. to not be afraid of the ghosts but instead help them. Willis has managed to help Cole where he failed the other kid. he believed Cole and helped him build strategies to deal with his reality. at the end when Willis' ghost passes its fufilling to watch as a viewer because he was able to truly help Cole when he couldn't help the other kid and because he believed him he could see he is a ghost and say goodbye to his wife and move on.
I get why they cut the part with the old man , even if it is a great scene it shows he already know how to help the living from advice from the dead. When the whole build up was he was so afraid to ask the ghost what they wanted
The first deleted scene hits close to home. He was deployed in Iraq in 2007 and I had an AVM a brain hemorrhage. I was lucky to be on base and I wasn’t alone. The odds of me dying were higher than me surviving. Every day is a gift cause tomorrow isn’t promised.
Osment should have won the Oscar. Not only one of the best performances of the year, but certainly one of the best performances by a child actor ever.
Absolutely!!!

EXACTLY!!!! This movie and SIGNS both had the same effect on me. M Night is a brilliant producer, INDEED…
It would be wonderful to re-release this movie with all the pieces put back in.

Haley was a protegee, but Willis was masterful. What a great opportunity for him to switch gears as an actor and explore a quiet, introspective side.
This movie showed that Willis was a great actor. He has the ability to show a wide range of depths of emotion. It’s sad that he has fallen into complacency and only shows up know one dimensionally.
It is an extraordinary film. The creator, whose name I cannot spell, is incredibly good. I think he is of Indian descent.

I feel like he should do more serious roles. The die hards were good entertainment, mostly, but he needed to be stretched beyond them.
I almost didn't go to that movie because I couldn't stand Bruce Willis. I left with entirely new perspective of him. He was more heroic in this than in any of his action films. He made me feel safe when he was on the screen with Cole. I knew the ghosts wouldn't hurt him if he was there.
This was and is one of the greatest movies ever filmed. Probably in the top five of all time. This movie brought it all, acting, script, emotion, fear , sadness and an unbelievable surprise. It’s simply genius. Congratulations. Try to top that one.
It’s only because I know the ending that I now notice, no one ever responds or react to Bruce Willis’ presence.
I remember watching that too, especially when Cole comes home from school to see his mom and “Malcolm” sitting opposite each other and not even talking. I was like, “Well that’s kind of strange that the mom doesn’t even say anything or at least introduce Cole to the Dr.” After watching the end that’s when I put two and two together.
that's why it's great to re watch!
Another thing that sort of gives away that Malcolm is a ghost is that sometimes Cole seemed surprised at seeing him, like in the bus scene, where he's going to the little girl's house.
But what really gave the whole thing away, for me, was the 'info dump' scene where Cole says "I see dead people. The dead don't know they're dead, they only see what they want to see. And the dead can't see the other dead..." Too much information, a 'dead' giveaway!
Yeah, and I think that is another reason it was wise to cut that scene. I might have been more likely to wonder about him just walking into that guy's house and not getting offered any lemonade. ;-)
When we watched this for the first time we rented it, and my mom called it in the first 10 minutes and we laughed because that was a ridiculous thing to think - she was understandably upset with her 3 teenagers mocking her so she got up and left watching it. About halfway through, we started noticing Bruce wasn't acting normally around the kid and when it was revealed we were all shocked and I remember shouting "mom you were right?!!!" And her shouting back "I'm always right! I'm your mother!" 😅
Haley Joel Osment was such a good child actor.
I'm amazed that man is still alive. Philadelphia USA
He’s only 33.
Haley Joel Osment was a brilliant child actor!
@@mariagonzalez4136 Still is making movies... Check out his filmography.
Yeah, he's hilarious in "Future Man."
I loved this movie, I never saw it coming. I though Bruce Willis was a person, never doubted it, even when he was at supper with his wife. I have ever yet to see such a great show, that moves along with just enough info to keep the movie easy to follow. You we’re right to keep these scenes out. A real gem of a movie.
There are few movies that are able to keep a plot twist like that secret. That's a sign of an amazing writer and director.
@@ec6443 so true, I’ve yet to have a movie fool me like that. Never saw that coming. I’m going to watch it again some day.
I figured this movie out in 20 minutes.
@@michaelhamerin3814 too bad because I didn’t and blew my mind. Kinda neat getting fooled like that. I too do that to my wife, I’ll say I figured it out then she does and it’s way father 8nto a movie. It’s nice to figure it out, but more to have them fool you. I looked back and said ”ah I should of saw that”, but still nice to be fooled.
@@Dan-qt7kq Yes, I agree. What bummed me out me was that it seemed too easy. I never considered it to be very well constructed. I'm glad it was entertaining for so so many, but I still didn't see it as such.
One of my 2 favourite movies of all time. Another favourite is 'The Others ' starring Nicole Kidman.
That was a good one too.
Mine too..I love these I don't know I'm dead type movies. Another good one is called Passengers.
Yes!
Yes... and "The Gift"
I loved both too....
What an amazing actor that young man was in this film. I'm sure he still is.
The most amazing film. It was brilliantly written and acted. The ending blew me away. As other people have said, when you watch it again the clues are all there. Superb.
One of the things I appreciated most about this movie is that Cole's encounters are always singular. Not once is he crowded by a group of ghosts.
We only see Cole’s perspective a few times. At home, he has everlasting encounters with ghosts, sequentially. Cole may actually be crowded with ghosts, but the ghosts don’t see each other, so we only see one at a time.
@@emilymccormick6006 agreed and he suggests that ver thing in middle of the movie that he can't take the non-stop parade of ghosts
Was it a scene in Ghost when Oda Mae Brown finally can talk to spirits and ends up with a house full of them all waiting their turn?
So what?
@@emilymccormick6006 Remember...he says, "They only see what they want to see"? If they didn't know each other in life, there would be no reason to see each other (or want to) in death. That's my take on it anyway.
I loved how the audience kept the ending a secret. I remember people asking about it, and I would just say, you have to see it.
The days before social media! Impossible nowadays.
Sadly not everyone was that respectful, I remember my older sister telling me a friend of her boyfriend, all teenagers at the time , had opened the theatre door and yelled “Bruce Willis is dead” to the entire audience. Thankfully most people weren’t that thoughtless.
I was teaching a college class at the time. I had just seen the film and told them they needed to all see it by the following week so we could discuss it. A student in class said in front of the entire class, "I already saw it and I cannot believe..." and told the freaking ending. I was furious. 🤦♀️
I'm so sorry these scenes were omitted. HJO was such a good child actor, utterly believeable.
The deleted toy soldier scene was heartbreaking and telling. Wow. 😞 The Sixth Sense is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Shayamalan is such an amazing director. Love all his movies.
So sorry Mr. Shayamalan, that those great scenes were cut out of your movie. Thank you for sharing them with us. 🙂
I watched in theater years ago and was shocked! Sat in car for a time, before I could drive home.
This movie hit me like a freight train…..I went into a mini-depression for weeks, even thought it was a happy ending, the content just ripped my heart out.😰
Glad I’m not the only one. 😭😭
Yessss me too! Also…. His lady in the water movie I was crying my eyes out because I knew and experienced things like that but never had anyone there to help or believe me, the way the renters pulled together was amazing! He’s the best writer director ever!!
@@merlinsowl9458 agreed!
HJO’s performance in AI had the same effect for me too. I watched that movie ONCE. I refuse to ever watch it again.
@@macthecabbie533 it was heart wrenching to watch even one time!
The music is so evocative and transports me back to this story.
Yes! The music is a major character, especially in M. Night’s movies.
The music is underrated in this movie.
I was so bamboozled that the “secret” of this film was so carefully guarded! I heard how great the film was, what a great job the actors did, the AMAZING job done by the director, etc. It made me feel like I was looking at a picture and missing the picture within the picture!
This is definitely in my top 5 movies of all time and I thank everyone involved.
This movie should have swept the Oscars
At 13:30 I can hear my dads whistle he passed last year . It’s a whistle similar to my dads, his whistle was his way of calling us in after playing outside or to get our attention. Te extraño padre.
Fantastic film. Loved the soundtrack too.
Omg , again what an amazing sequence. This movie is Epic. These Actors, and Night is a prolific thing that is no longer made in movies today. I miss the quality of movies made by Magicians like Shyalaman.
He bombed in the others. He tried to always have stories with a twist..after awhile it got old.
Wrong..his movie are deep.
Haley Joel Osment, in my opinion, was the most wonderful child actor I have ever seen. I miss him and his gift. I hope he is well and happy.
He was in the Entourage movie a couple years ago and was pretty fucking hilarious.
he was in the Amazon show called " the boys " last season, season 2 I believe.
he played the character called Mesmer I think.
pretty cool
@@mysteryneophyte Thanks. I will check that out.
@@MrSomeRedditor Can you clarify?
He is in the Netflix series "The Komisky Method". He is introduced in the last episode on the second season and is a recurring character in the third season.
I had forgotten how wonderfully powerful this movie is.
All of these years after the fact, I would love to see a director's cut released. Thank you.
HJO really was an outstanding child actor.
Such a handsome little guy, I love him in this movie.
@Lana Rhodes
One of my favorite movies!
He is outstanding shorty fat character actor now.
@@spinoz2319 getting fat is something that can happen to almost anyone. There's no need to try and shame the guy for it.
@@bryanrussell6679 not shaming anyone, just saying the fact.
This movie absolutely should have received an Oscar!!
Both Bruce and Haley were outstanding in this movie. I still watch this if it pops up on a channel somewhere.
I love this movie so much. M. Night's movies are unmatched!
Bruce must have been so happy to share scenes with such a talented child actor.
I felt there were missing scenes, did not realise how good they would be, how they fleshed it out. The final cut was "jumpy". Profound story, so so good. I feel the astral world is very real and effects our inner life all the time.
How am I just seeing these now?! Omg this movie! Usually deleted scenes suck! This movie is a masterpiece!
The best Shamalayan film ever. Great direction, cinematography, acting, storytelling, you name it! Toni Collette is in two of my all time horror films. This one, obviously, and "Hereditary". Both films are in my Top 10.
Poor kid.. he wasn't strange .. he had a gift and was afraid of it. He had a far greater propose on earth that nobody understood.
Seeing dead people isn't a gift. The fact that he helped people during his own misery and fears, made me think that he is a gift himself.
@@Veronica.A.I think ppl that can see and talk to the dead and have psychic abilities are on a different spiritual plane than most ppl. I feel like there is a godly thing going on with these ppl.. like god chose them.
I remember seeing the Mr Marschal scene when The Sixth Sense came on TV one time. Nobody believed me! LoL I thought it was such a poignant scene!!! But I was really beginning to think I had imagined it! I’m soooo happy to have come across this video! 😅😅😅
emily endicott • So, I wasn't the only one! I loved that scene and looked for it in every showing after that to no avail.
Of course I had thought he was dead from the start, so all those little clues just verified what I thought to begin with. You had to have figured it out from the wake, right, I mean he was there with all those people and no one wondered who he was or why a stranger was at this child's wake?
I saw it in theaters when it first came out and i remember the soldier scene. I guess cuts and uncuts happen at different points sometimes.
@@AliciaGuitar m
Same!!
@@AliciaGuitar He was also playing with the soldiers in the church
I was so slow to get the "oh yes" moment.
Wonderful acting. So sad about Bruce.
Bruce and Haley were magnificent together. I definitely believe, this mesmerizing and emotional movie, deserved, the Academy Award, and both actors, with M. Knight, the Oscars. Also Kudos to wonderful actor, Toni Collette for best supporting performance! She got the Philly accent down pretty good. I lived in Philly and worked around that area for months, at that time to. Great memory.
i love this film. the kid is very good. that scene with the soldiers is so poignant. i see why you took the scenes out of the story, but i’m so glad to see them as they really add more depth to the boy’s character. Bruce Willis is such a good actor - he carried out the subtleties of his character so well.
so thank you so much for showing us these scenes. you are a fantastic director.
and thank you, Filmingmentory for posting this. it is so appreciated :) 🌷
Thank you for sharing these cuts. They are no longer lying on the editor's floor but teling their own story.
DVD extras!
Yeah, Bruce in the Marshall home unnoticed is a definite give away if you haven't already figured it out.
My lovely daughter blurted out that he was a ghost. She thought I had already seen it. I hadn't.
Well, not really because the old man was a bit out of it.
Whoa he was a ghost? I thought it was just badly edited! :-)
I think Bruce willis in the restaurant scene was a dead giveaway. A woman can't continuously ignore her hubby in such a way that was shown.
Love 'The Sixth Sense', watched it so many times. Bloody brilliant 👏👏👏
Several scenes stunned me. Not because they were necessarily original, but Because of the actors in this movie. When Willis is shot in the beginning, and the man who does it reveals his inner pain. 2) When Hailey & his Mom are in the car and Hailey explains all about his Mom,'s Mom to her. Collette's reaction to finally believing her boy who sees dead people is Remarkable 3) When Hailey takes the Dr to the receptuon after the funeral, and Hailey hands the grieving Dad the tape that shows his wife killing their child. The Dad's horror on his face is in itself worthy of a Oscar. 4) The obvious compassion Haily shows in this film for everyone 5) The interaction between Collette & Hailey as Mom & child is so touching. The iconic films are the ones that are original in storyline and have the right actor to play each character in orginality.
Even though I realized about halfway through that He was dead. I still hung on to every scene. Just watching Haley's/ Bruce's performance was phenomenal! It nearly broke my heart that the two of them were trying to help each other throughout the movie!
M Night is one of the best directors and a masterful story teller.
Loved this movie when it first came out. Stiil do. I fully understood it without the cut scenes.
Mr. Bruce Willis, so sorry of your terrible suffering (2023). 💔 You gave us all so much entertainment through the years. Best to you sir.
It certainly helps to fill in a few gaps from one of the best movies I have ever seen. Thank you.
The actor playing Mr. Marshall played another grieving character in the movie, “Angel Heart”…another movie that confused the audience until the end. Mickey Rourke did fantastic job. If you liked “Sixth Sense”. You’ll enjoy the far darker, “Angel Heart”.
Darker?
@Rhonda Bothelio
It’s so funny that you say that.🤣 I, too, had to immediately rewatch it to make sure I understood it correctly. I really don’t know why that movie didn’t garner lots of awards… I thought the photography was excellent …it really created that eerie mood that pulled you into the story. And the writing was very skillful. Both the audience and Mickey Rourke’s character were being fed clues via a drip feed… it skillfully kept him and you confused. Talk about audience participation!!
One of my all time favorite movies…. Rourke was at the top of his game.
@@maryscheitler2488
Yes….way darker! Perfect for the upcoming Halloween season.
@@MsKK909 I'll check it out
@@maryscheitler2488
I suggest you view it on a format which you can rewind or replay…because you’ll be saying to yourself, “Wait a minute! Did I miss something? What exactly was said then?” You and Mickey Rourke move through the film equally confused. I thought that was very clever writing.
LOVE this movie. Truly enjoyed watching a wonderful film. Thank YOU.
The Mr Marschal bit might have revealed that Malcolm was invisible.
Exactly what I was thinking. It was odd for Malcolm to be in Mr.Marschall's house without introducing himself. The scene sort of gives away that Malcolm's a ghost.
Good point Mike , never thought of that but you might have got round it with a bit of editing of the script.
Totally.
But remember, it was the same situation when Malcolm was sitting with Cole's mother, we assumed they had been talking and were interrupted when Malcolm came through the door. Most of us quickly explained it away in our minds because like the great writer said, we have the, "see what we want to see" mentality which made his writing come alive on film! Another AMAZING movie by M. Knight Shyamalan!! ♥️👏👏👏🏆❤️
I tell ya. It was and is still one of my favorites movies ever. You did everything right. I went and watched it a second time and took it on even more. Sometimes story tellers are better than the beholders. It will never change. Thank you for a truly beautiful work of art.
Thank you so much m night shyamala. I truly appreciate your work sir. Philadelphia USA
This was one of my fav movies of all times. I don’t think there’s been a movie since that had a better ending twist.
The Others was also a great twist ending
I agree, this film, followed by "The Others", which was clever and heart
-wrenching in its own unique way, but not as profound, human, beautiful, spiritual, and deeply moving as "The Sixth Sense".
I really really wish that M Night made a movie showing Cole as an adult, still helping the dead.
Vincent couldn't handle the blessing/curse he was given. Whereas Cole could.
Haley Joel Osmond is an incredible actor.
I hope he reads this.

@Filmingmentary. M Night Shayamalan is one of the best directors around. Genus at His Craft & Certainly a Gift when it comes to making a movie.... Thanks for posting these deleted scenes....
Mr Marshall's scene would have given away too much. Another adult who ignores Malcolm, who doesn't invite him in, or offers him a drink. I understand we need to fill those gaps, but many people (not me, for sure 😅) could have guessed the reason.
That's true.
When I first saw the movie, I had an inkling of the twist during the scene where Malcolm and Cole's mother were sitting together in the living room -- but not talking. And, when she left the room to make triangle pancakes, she didn't acknowledge that she was leaving Cole to his session with Malcolm.
This would have clinched it.
this would have been better if the scene were later in the movie and somehow the lack of interaction could be addressed. it's a good scene
@@larrychatfield It is a good scene. And, I like Mr. Marshall. He is sweet.
I guessed but I don’t remember how.
@@Ælfgifu-1 It was a good scene but I can see how why they had to cut it.
Haley Joe Osmond was and still probably is a great Actor!
Yeah he was on the Hulu series with Josh hutcherson Future Man. His sister was on Hannah Montana
Al, may I introduce you to “Entourage” the movie. HJO is god awful in it…absolutely cringeworthy.
@@Copyingjoyce1207 Yeah the entire movie was off! 🤷🏻♂️ Still think he’s a good Actor. 🤠
He's been making small memorable parts in cool shows like Silicon Valley
This film scared the HELL out of me. I slept with the friggin lights on for about a week. And I was about 27. lol
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really appreciate your directional work so much!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time especially since this used to be the exact neighborhood I lived in. Beautiful neighborhood and beautiful memories.
One of my top five movies of all time. Brilliant storyline, acting and directing. There are not many that compare.
I loved this video with your description of the deleted scenes. Great storytelling and character development. I do not know what your belief system is but the affect of the child’s benevolence toward the elderly man is so in keeping of what I know to be true; our kindness to others has a long term effect. Perhaps you will release a version of the film with the deleted scenes with your comments during or after the film.
This movie and The Others blew my mind with the "big reveal" at the end.
Oh, and Identity did the same thing, but not quite to the same degree as The Sixth Sense and The Others.
With Identity, the reveal just kind of put everything into perspective and I was like "Ohhhh, now I get it", but The Sixth Sense and The Others made me go "Wait! WTF? Holy crap!"
This was such an amazing movie with amazing actors. Thank you for sharing these cuts with us!!!
I do wish these scenes had not been cut, especially the Mr Marshal scenes. I think I could have dealt with the initial confusion better than the vomiting child ghost. It adds compassion to Cole's gift. And I don't think the goodbye was redundant. I saw the original cut. It was shocking. But I don't think the deletion of these cuts would have taken away from the shock or horror, or the compassion of the entire film.
i disagree, i think it was best mr marshal's scene was cut. when Willis' character is at cole's house scenes are set up to make you believe he has already been interacting with Cole's mother and now he's there soley to interact with Cole as his psychiatrist. At the wake you don't give much thought as to why no one was talking to Willis' character but in Mr Marshal's home its very perculiar. you just have this stange man in your house lurking in a corner and your not going to address it. Also, the scene takes away from the impact Willis' character has on Cole. in the final cut you have a terrified boy dealing with this horror and no one to confide in. Willis' character comes along and Cole starts to open up to him and Willis is able to direct him in a positive direction. to not be afraid of the ghosts but instead help them. Willis has managed to help Cole where he failed the other kid. he believed Cole and helped him build strategies to deal with his reality. at the end when Willis' ghost passes its fufilling to watch as a viewer because he was able to truly help Cole when he couldn't help the other kid and because he believed him he could see he is a ghost and say goodbye to his wife and move on.
Mr Marshal scene would have brought many people to understand too quickly what was going on.
He is such a beautiful creative mind.
Most filmmakers do.
❤️
This was a great movie. The deleted scenes were amazing. Thanks.
This was such a great concept from a great writer/director. Can you imagine if some could really talk to the dead? I loved this movie.
the boy wasn't just acting , he was reliving something very real to him .
I have loved ALL of your movies... every - single - one
M. Night is in my top ten Director starters list!!👍👍
I get why they cut the part with the old man , even if it is a great scene it shows he already know how to help the living from advice from the dead. When the whole build up was he was so afraid to ask the ghost what they wanted
The first deleted scene hits close to home. He was deployed in Iraq in 2007 and I had an AVM a brain hemorrhage. I was lucky to be on base and I wasn’t alone. The odds of me dying were higher than me surviving. Every day is a gift cause tomorrow isn’t promised.
Just once I wish that most deleted scenes 'wouldn't be deleted'.
What an incredible actor Haley Joel Osment was as a child. Depth not typically seen in actors that age.
Such a well made movie. I still love it even though I still cry during it!
Great movie! It's а pity that these scenes were deleted...
Before Willis stopped giving a crap.
Lol yes
