Lol, White people were hung in your country as well, black people didn't have an ownership on brutality and hardship. So, most likely the people the kid were referring to at the school were White
It was Kyra's mother who was poisoning her, not a doctor. The mom wasn't wearing a doctor's coat (which is usually white), she was wearing a bright red jacket at her daughter's funeral instead of black clothes like everyone else. her mom had a mental health condition called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. A caregiver (usually a parent) who craves attention & sympathy resorts to inflicting injury or causes illness so other people will feel sorry for them & give praise for "being such a loving & caring" person. One of the most famous & horrific incidents is the recent case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard & her mother, Dee-Dee, whom she had killed in order to escape the abuse she suffered for years. Gypsy Rose ended up serving 10 years in prison & was released last December.
That was the mom, she suffers from a condition called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy where a caregiver will make the person they’re ‘caring’ for sick. It’s an attention seeking disorder. Thank goodness it’s a rare disorder
Watching them watch this movie made me realize what a masterpiece this movie is. They thought this was a drama about childhood abuse for like the first 45 mins of the movie, then they thought it was a horror movie for about 30 mins, then it became a feel-good movie about helping ghosts, and by the end they're both choking up ready to cry -- then and only then do they realize the main character has been dead the entire film and they literally saw it happen in the opening scene. Masterpiece.
Our minds literally shattered lol we are happy we went into this movie blind because usually we are pretty good at making connections throughout a film but all we could do is watch and see where the film would take with this one. Masterpiece truly!
This really is a masterpiece, every moment crafted to give all the clues and yet somehow manage to keep the mystery the whole time. I've seen dozens of reactions to it and only once have I seen someone guess the twist before the reveal.
@@enicole1203 The thing that's great about it is all of those movies work. They were fully engaged with the childhood abuse drama, they were scared in the horror movie, they were moved in the feel-good movie, they were shocked by the twist. It's like 4 different movies in one and all of them are good movies.

Not true. It was years before I actually watched it because the twist ending was spoiled for me by friends at school immediately after opening weekend.
Vincent is a victim. He was tortured for years by ghosts. Malcolm missed a chance to help him. Helping Cole gives Malcolm the chance to understand Vincent.
@@DaKidsReact What’s even crazier is that Cole’s glasses DID have lenses and the movie points that out to you. Malcolm only claimed Cole’s glasses didn’t have lenses because he couldn’t see his reflection in them.
The voice speaking Spanish on the tape was a ghost that Vincent was seeing/hearing. It wasn't Vincent speaking Spanish. Also, note the use of the color Red in scenes where ghosts are. The balloon and Cole's sweater at the party, the killer mom's attire at the funeral, Malcolm's closet doorknob.....
Many film directors do this, but M. Night Shyamalan, this director, is notorious for it. Another director who does this a lot is Rob Marshall, whose films are Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha, etc.
I saw this in the theater, and, when the big reveal happens where Malcolm is shown to have died, the audience just gasped. It was such a shock. If you rewatch it, you'll see all the clues that Malcolm is actually a ghost, but it's so well done that you don't recognize the obvious. I agree that this one is a 10. Your reactions were really great!!

This movie came out before social media started ruining everything so we were able to go to the theater without any clue about the twist at the end. Great movie, thanks for the reaction video.
Right!!!! I remember being in the car the Monday after this movie came out and the DJ was telling the listeners to PLEASE not give away the ending for those who haven’t seen it yet. It was an awesome time.
Fun fact, the guy who shot Bruce in the beginning is actually Donnie Wahlberg. He lost a bunch of weight for this role to prove that he was serious about acting.
Donnie Wahlberg deserved a lot more credit for his part. I remember when this movie was first released. No one said anything about Donnie’s small part. I believe this was his first acting role.

The end is brilliant - you get the emotional resolution between Cole and his mother and it’s all positive and uplifting…and then comes the twist. Which is why it’s even more gut kicking.
Gut-wrenching...but also strangely...closing. And then you realize his wife isn't cheating on him or giving him the silent treatment. She's a grieving widow haunted by the literal ghost of her husband.
Before I actually saw this movie when it came out in 1999, I remember Bruce Willis telling people that if you've seen the movie, don't tell anyone what happens. No-one ever did that I am aware. It was brilliant going to see it. Great reaction. 💞
Seeing this in the theater was an experience. I still remember us all realizing, at the same time, what was really going on at the end. It was a wave of gasps and "OMG" rolling through the crowd. Hailey Joel Osmet was an amazing child actor. And, yes, that was Kyra's mom, not her doctor. Remember when they showed the family pictures as Cole and Malcomb were walking up the stairs? Someone else explained Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy....scary mental disorder. I love how my generation has an unwritten rule to not spoil this movie for the next generation, cause there is nothing like seeing that lightbulb moment when she says "why did you leave me"....the whole movie replays in your mind and you finally understand what you just watched. Loved the reaction.. New subscriber here.
So glad that no one ruined that ending for you. This is the movie that put M. Night Shyamalan on the map. I saw this in the theater and everyone in there was in shock at the end. Really a spectacular film all around. Acting was amazing and that twist. OMG! I thought you both almost had it near the middle of the movie when you said that his wife got cold every time she went into the basement.
You were right the first time when talking about the scene with the executed people. They were hanged, not hung. People are hanged , pictures are hung 😊 👍
M Night Shyamalan called out his talent, saying that he could turn it on and off at will. They'd cut the scene, start again, and the kid brought it back exactly perfect every time. My recommendation for another Haley Joel Osment film is "Secondhand Lions". Osment matches step with Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Kyra Sedgewick; not an easy task.
@@rumham7466 Which he carries pretty much by himself, impressive for such a young actor. Seriously, the success of the film rests entirely on him. Recently, as an adult, he did a late night comedy bit posing as JD Vance; awesome!
Donnie Wahlberg is totally unrecognisable as his killer/old patient but absolutely unforgettable. He wasn't asked to lose all the weight he did for the role but he said it fit the character perfectly. ❤ this movie it was fantastic to watch in the cinema and the reaction to the twist was wild making it even better.
@@DaKidsReact My bros...my bros. I love us too much to not say anything. But notice how it's always white people who have these types of comments. Overly commending you on how well behaved, nice and kind you are. I promise you they don't say this type of stuff to other white people. I just hate to see these prejudices masked as compliments being made to you. Yes, ya'll are great but it isn't because they notice or say so. I see it so much that it's clear they are oblivious we know. They think their approval of us is what makes us. As if we are good only if they say we are good. They also like to say little things that seem innocent and kind as a subtle means to control. Of course they can't just come out and say 'You're being a good negro. We like you for that. You're not like the thug and ratchet ones that make us uncomfortable. You're well educated and well-spoken. Way to go. Keep doing what you are doing.' It's so deeply embedded in their way of thinking and how they see and interact with us that it's too extensive to fully dissect, but just know that we know our greatness apart from them. Love to you, my beautiful bros. ✊🏾🙎🏾♀♥
Good point. Super well written and acted by both of them. Feels 100% real. Movie would've suffered enormously if that relationship didn't work so well. That actress doesn't get enough credit.
You were correct when you refered to them as having been hanged. A person is hanged and an object is hung. If a person is hung, well, that means something different 😅
21:44 "you have to add some twists and stuff (to your story)" "what kind of twists" guy on the right, instantly: "somebody dying" SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY AN AWARD HE GUESSED IT
It's not Vincent speaking Spanish. It is a ghost that speaks to Vincent when Vincent was 10 years old. The number on the cassette is the date of the session with Dr. Crowe.
You’d think Vincent of all people should have known that suicide would be no escape. No, I can understand the Mom being mad, as much as I understand Cole not wanting to tell her. She promised not to be mad if he told her the truth- that is, if he confessed to taking the bumblebee pendant. She couldn’t conceive any other possible explanation; so she believed he was lying to her. And as much as this was a mistake on her part, I honestly can’t really blame her. In a larger sense it meant she felt she was losing him. That’s why she got mad. It was the mom (or possibly the stepmom?) who was poisoning the girl. The way she was talking and interacting with her in the video- that isn’t how a doctor would be. And also the way the father reacted as he was watching, the way he confronted her afterwards? this was an _intimate_ betrayal.
Y'all are so compassionate and emotionally intelligent to understand everyone's feelings and what they were going through. And I believe "Cole" was nominated for an Oscar.
Are you surprised? Did you expect they wouldn't be? In your mind, you probably really think what you said sounded like a compliment, but it very much comes off as condescending. "Oh wow, you understood everyone's feelings and what they were going through!" Yes, black men do think and feel just like anyone and everyone else does. You know, human characteristics. It's okay, we're use to these microaggressions. It just sometimes amazes me that you don't even realize you're doing it or maybe you do and delusionally try to pass it off as some backhanded compliment.
The Dr at the ER questioning the mom why Cole had those bruises is, M. Night Shyamalan. The director of the movie. He makes a couple of appearances in his films. Another would be the movie "Signs." That's a good 1
Kind, chill. Ya'll really kill me. The micro aggressions are insane. These 'pet black men on the head for being nice good boys' comments from white people are insanely obvious and condescending. "I want to be friends with you" is patronizing. Like you're giving them a gold star or your mark of approval. I wish you all would knock that sh*t off. It's like you don't know what to say to us and it ends up being something stupid and insulting.
@@NF40375 seeking sympathy and seeking attention are one in the same. she WAS seeking sympathy because sympathy gets you attention, very warm "i'm so sorry youre daughter died. you were such a good parent" type of attention
Director M. Night Shyamalan is from Philly. He has a small acting role in the movie also as the doctor (Indian guy) who tells Cole's mom he is concerned about his bruises and is calling a social worker.
That was the mom. Not the doctor. Notice she is wearing red just like everything else in this movie. The doorknob, the restaraunt bill. The balloon. All things red. The clues were there the whole time but we didn't notice. What a great film. One of the best. Best plot twist for sure.
Mac : He always puts some like awesome twist at the end of his movies to trick the audience. Charlie : Aw yeah, yeah, like in The Sixth Sense you find out that the dude in that hair piece the whole time, that's Bruce Willis the whole movie. Haley Joel slaughtered this role though, it was cool to see him again in The Boys (he plays the "Mesmerizer" dude) all these years later.
Nate Bargatze does a bit about this movie and how everyone thought it was more plausible that Bruce Willis' wife was just so pissed at him she didn't talk to him for a year than Bruce being dead.
In the Pop-Tarts scene, it was a ghost who opened the cabinets. If you ever get a chance to watch the original "Poltergeist" movie from the 1980s, it establishes that ghosts can move objects like that. Other ghost movies have established the trope about the temperature getting cold when ghosts are upset, and the light halo in photos around the heads of people who are in the presence of a spirit.
These are two very intelligent, very sensitive, very well-spoken film critics. What a pleasure to watch their reactions, and hear their outstanding recap at the end.
Why is there a need to emphasize that they are intelligent and well-spoken? Why wouldn't they be? Did that come as a surprise to you? White people have a tendency to show their prejudices toward black people in the form of, seemingly, harmless compliments. When, in fact, they are backhanded and condescending. Especially when you get into using the term 'well-spoken' when referring to someone black. As if you expect one thing and are surprised to find that isn't the case. These micro aggressions sicken me. These men don't need a 'pat on the head', 'kudos' or 'way to go' from you in order to validate or approve their behavior. The sheer audacity sickens me.
fun fact: M. Night is from Philly (penn valley, philly suburb)! every single one of his movies take place in PA somewhere... and he always uses philly as the marker on the map. i did a biography paper on him back in the day this movie influenced me when it came out.
I recommend watching The Others with Nicole Kidman The Passengers with Anne Hathaway Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron The Lovely Bones with Marc Walburg Edit: anything this child actor, his mother, the director and even Bruce Willis has done is a must watch. Just go down a rabbit hole with each actor and the director. Won’t disappoint.
Thanks to Da Kids for reacting to The Sixth Sense, one of the best movies out there. When you watch it again, knowing the twists and turns in the plot, you'll really appreciate the craft and art of this movie's script and acting, editing, filming and directing. It delivers a high standard of film making. Also, enjoying your reactions to Breaking Bad.
All the clues were there, but we were unable to see it. This was so well put together. I really love this movie You guys' reaction was so good. I really enjoyed this - thanks!!! PS It was a ten.
At first. Cole was apprehensive about Malcom. The penny scene where he asked Malcom “how could you help me if your don’t believe me?” Was a hint to Malcom that his purpose in the afterlife was to help him. Physically moving the penny was the tell
That was the mother of the little girl who died. There is a rare psychiatric diagnosis called "Munchausen by Proxy." ....per Web MD.... Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) -- or Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care. MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care.
Cole helped Kyra identify her killer to the world. It was the mom. You are good people because you could not see right away that the mom was the killer. It's not logical for a mom to kill her children, but it does happen.
This one really pulled on the heartstrings. Suspenseful and heart-wrenching. Classic. I also want to say that you have such good hearts. It's so clear that you're good people. Thanks for sharing. Peace. :)
Thanks for another awesome reaction. I have to admit that I had a few laughs when I saw your reactions to the ghosts. What's great is that as cool as you guys are, you guys have deep thoughts when it comes to these films.
With regards to why Malcolm's wife was cold in the basement, I've always thought that since Vincent was around, so were the ghosts following him ;-) Nice reaction... I'm off to check out your Lord Of The Rings reaction now 😀
20:51 I like how pissed you got here. Frustrating every one just standing around. 25:44 Prayed the jump scare away. 35:23 this was a great jump scare 45:01 good job keeping those tears in. That scene gets me every time. Such amazing acting by both of them. 45:37 I’m so glad yall didn’t know this ending. Makes for a great reaction Great movie. Great reaction.
There are several clues throughout the movie. At the beginning, Cole asks Malcolm if he is a good doctor, and Malcolm answer that he USED to be. At the end, as Cole reaches for the shiny silver door handle of Kiera's bedroom, you can't see Malcolm's reflection.
This film really is a 10! Great reaction y'all, I still get choked up during the car scene with Cole and his mom. Incredible acting, directing, screenplay, musical score, biggest twist, just everything about it was well done.
It was 100% the mom that was poisoning the little girls. She had on a red suit to stand out in a muted toned room (creative decision from the director).
MNS movies are so good. Just a journey to mess with your mind and he's fantastic at it. The Village is one of my favorites but I havent seen one yet that I didn't like. Im glad you guys enjoyed this one!
Imagine knowing your movie will rely on the acting skills of a small child, and then finding this kid. Amazing.
Haley was nominated for an Oscar for this.
Lmao seriously tho! Like “hey kid, this movie determines if I will be able to eat for the next year or so… no pressure tho” 😂
E.T. was a similar situation. The audition tape for the kid who played Elliot is simply amazing, I'd suggest checking it out.
Lol, White people were hung in your country as well, black people didn't have an ownership on brutality and hardship. So, most likely the people the kid were referring to at the school were White

True. Lots of cases like that go undetected because the parent will change doctors before one of them can see the pattern.
What she said.
THIS!
Another famous case is rapper Eminem and his mother.
Jesus that was a mouthful... good job tho
Any time you think you're having a bad day, just remember that Malcolm was dead and still had to go to work.

And they don't all suffer from Something.
I thought she was doing it for the insurance money. Because she started to make she other daughter sick right after.

The actor for Cole tends to overshadow his mom's performance and Malcom's, but they were all outstanding!
Seeing this in the theater was an experience. I still remember us all realizing, at the same time, what was really going on at the end. It was a wave of gasps and "OMG" rolling through the crowd. Hailey Joel Osmet was an amazing child actor. And, yes, that was Kyra's mom, not her doctor. Remember when they showed the family pictures as Cole and Malcomb were walking up the stairs? Someone else explained Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy....scary mental disorder. I love how my generation has an unwritten rule to not spoil this movie for the next generation, cause there is nothing like seeing that lightbulb moment when she says "why did you leave me"....the whole movie replays in your mind and you finally understand what you just watched. Loved the reaction.. New subscriber here.
So glad that no one ruined that ending for you. This is the movie that put M. Night Shyamalan on the map. I saw this in the theater and everyone in there was in shock at the end. Really a spectacular film all around. Acting was amazing and that twist. OMG! I thought you both almost had it near the middle of the movie when you said that his wife got cold every time she went into the basement.
You were right the first time when talking about the scene with the executed people. They were hanged, not hung. People are hanged , pictures are hung 😊 👍
She said she wouldn't be mad if he told the truth; she got mad because she felt he wasn't telling her the truth about the pendant.
The child actor is soo amazing in this, I get chills every time I watch his performance
Haley Joel Osment. He's great in "Pay It Forward" too. He had an adult role in The Boys, but it was a small one.
Acted his a** off!!
M Night Shyamalan called out his talent, saying that he could turn it on and off at will. They'd cut the scene, start again, and the kid brought it back exactly perfect every time.
My recommendation for another Haley Joel Osment film is "Secondhand Lions". Osment matches step with Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Kyra Sedgewick; not an easy task.
Also the movie “AI Artificial Intelligence”.
@@rumham7466 Which he carries pretty much by himself, impressive for such a young actor. Seriously, the success of the film rests entirely on him.
Recently, as an adult, he did a late night comedy bit posing as JD Vance; awesome!
Shawshank Redemption is another 10.
We’ll have to check it out at some point!
Shawshank Redemption is still my favourite movie of all time!!
It's an absolute MUST.
Shawshank Redemption is an amazing movie.
@@DaKidsReact
You won`t be sorry!
My first time watching you guys. When you said this is the first movie you could give a 10.
My first thought: they haven't seen Shawshank Redemption
Donnie Wahlberg is totally unrecognisable as his killer/old patient but absolutely unforgettable. He wasn't asked to lose all the weight he did for the role but he said it fit the character perfectly. ❤ this movie it was fantastic to watch in the cinema and the reaction to the twist was wild making it even better.
I still cannot believe this. Just learned this today.
It was delightful to watch you learn as they went on and to discover the twist! You seem like two nice souls with kind hearts. Kindness matters. 💕🐝💕
We appreciate you & truly happy you enjoyed our reaction! Kindness & understanding is most important! Much love💙
@@DaKidsReact My bros...my bros. I love us too much to not say anything. But notice how it's always white people who have these types of comments. Overly commending you on how well behaved, nice and kind you are. I promise you they don't say this type of stuff to other white people. I just hate to see these prejudices masked as compliments being made to you. Yes, ya'll are great but it isn't because they notice or say so. I see it so much that it's clear they are oblivious we know. They think their approval of us is what makes us. As if we are good only if they say we are good. They also like to say little things that seem innocent and kind as a subtle means to control. Of course they can't just come out and say 'You're being a good negro. We like you for that. You're not like the thug and ratchet ones that make us uncomfortable. You're well educated and well-spoken. Way to go. Keep doing what you are doing.' It's so deeply embedded in their way of thinking and how they see and interact with us that it's too extensive to fully dissect, but just know that we know our greatness apart from them. Love to you, my beautiful bros. ✊🏾🙎🏾♀♥
I love the mom-kid relationship in this film
It's so real and so heartfelt.
Good point. Super well written and acted by both of them. Feels 100% real. Movie would've suffered enormously if that relationship didn't work so well. That actress doesn't get enough credit.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat She’s criminally overlooked across the board. Her work in Hereditary should have gotten an Oscar nod.
@@DeathBeforeComicSans She's hot in this too, not gonna lie.
It was truly amazing!
You were correct when you refered to them as having been hanged. A person is hanged and an object is hung. If a person is hung, well, that means something different 😅
I’m loving this channel. You two are too cool and have become my favorite reactors on UA-cam. All the success in the world to you guys.
Appreciate the love and the kind words! It means a lot 🥲
21:44 "you have to add some twists and stuff (to your story)"
"what kind of twists"
guy on the right, instantly: "somebody dying"
SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY AN AWARD HE GUESSED IT
It's not Vincent speaking Spanish. It is a ghost that speaks to Vincent when Vincent was 10 years old. The number on the cassette is the date of the session with Dr. Crowe.
Secondhand Lions is pretty good too, also stars Hailey Joel Osmond a couple yrs more grown
I love that film
Love that movie !!!!!!
Love this movie!
You’d think Vincent of all people should have known that suicide would be no escape.
No, I can understand the Mom being mad, as much as I understand Cole not wanting to tell her. She promised not to be mad if he told her the truth- that is, if he confessed to taking the bumblebee pendant. She couldn’t conceive any other possible explanation; so she believed he was lying to her. And as much as this was a mistake on her part, I honestly can’t really blame her. In a larger sense it meant she felt she was losing him. That’s why she got mad.
It was the mom (or possibly the stepmom?) who was poisoning the girl. The way she was talking and interacting with her in the video- that isn’t how a doctor would be. And also the way the father reacted as he was watching, the way he confronted her afterwards? this was an _intimate_ betrayal.
That brings up a good question. Cole said that ghosts don't see each other... so did Vincent _stop_ seeing ghosts after he died? We'll never know.
Another favorite from this director is “Signs”. Must watch it. 😊
YESSSSS
Thank you for another beautiful, respectful, and empathic reaction to this wonderful movie.
Appreciate the love and support!!
Y'all are so compassionate and emotionally intelligent to understand everyone's feelings and what they were going through. And I believe "Cole" was nominated for an Oscar.
Are you surprised? Did you expect they wouldn't be? In your mind, you probably really think what you said sounded like a compliment, but it very much comes off as condescending. "Oh wow, you understood everyone's feelings and what they were going through!" Yes, black men do think and feel just like anyone and everyone else does. You know, human characteristics. It's okay, we're use to these microaggressions. It just sometimes amazes me that you don't even realize you're doing it or maybe you do and delusionally try to pass it off as some backhanded compliment.
The Dr at the ER questioning the mom why Cole had those bruises is, M. Night Shyamalan. The director of the movie. He makes a couple of appearances in his films. Another would be the movie "Signs." That's a good 1
You two are so kind and observant in your comments during the film . I wanna be friends with you two . Never change , you’re lovely chill souls .
Kind, chill. Ya'll really kill me. The micro aggressions are insane. These 'pet black men on the head for being nice good boys' comments from white people are insanely obvious and condescending. "I want to be friends with you" is patronizing. Like you're giving them a gold star or your mark of approval. I wish you all would knock that sh*t off. It's like you don't know what to say to us and it ends up being something stupid and insulting.
Another masterpiece by him is the village. That ending will blow your mind as well! Fantastic reaction gentleman!❤
The mother had been keeping the girl sick for sympathy for herself. She eventually killed her but now she was doing the same to her youngest daughter.
It’s not sympathy
It’s attention
Research Münchausen syndrome and Münchausen syndrome by Proxy
The latter applies to this “mother”
@@NF40375 seeking sympathy and seeking attention are one in the same. she WAS seeking sympathy because sympathy gets you attention, very warm "i'm so sorry youre daughter died. you were such a good parent" type of attention
Coles first time meeting Malcolm ‘I’m going to see you again, right?’
Their last interaction, ‘I’m not going to see you anymore am I?’
I saw this in the theater when it first came out and still remember everyone gasping at the reveal. So good!
Director M. Night Shyamalan is from Philly. He has a small acting role in the movie also as the doctor (Indian guy) who tells Cole's mom he is concerned about his bruises and is calling a social worker.
That was the mom. Not the doctor. Notice she is wearing red just like everything else in this movie. The doorknob, the restaraunt bill. The balloon. All things red. The clues were there the whole time but we didn't notice. What a great film. One of the best. Best plot twist for sure.
Kid was nominated for Oscar!!! See him in "A.I." Very good👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Mac : He always puts some like awesome twist at the end of his movies to trick the audience.
Charlie : Aw yeah, yeah, like in The Sixth Sense you find out that the dude in that hair piece the whole time, that's Bruce Willis the whole movie.
Haley Joel slaughtered this role though, it was cool to see him again in The Boys (he plays the "Mesmerizer" dude) all these years later.
1000% You will give "Shawshenk Redemption." I have never heard one person not be mind blown after seeing that. Y'all will love it,I'm positive 😊
Shawshank Redemption is still my number one movie of all times. Brilliant.
Nate Bargatze does a bit about this movie and how everyone thought it was more plausible that Bruce Willis' wife was just so pissed at him she didn't talk to him for a year than Bruce being dead.
In the Pop-Tarts scene, it was a ghost who opened the cabinets. If you ever get a chance to watch the original "Poltergeist" movie from the 1980s, it establishes that ghosts can move objects like that. Other ghost movies have established the trope about the temperature getting cold when ghosts are upset, and the light halo in photos around the heads of people who are in the presence of a spirit.
These are two very intelligent, very sensitive, very well-spoken film critics. What a pleasure to watch their reactions, and hear their outstanding recap at the end.
Appreciate the love!! ❤️ more great content to come!
Why is there a need to emphasize that they are intelligent and well-spoken? Why wouldn't they be? Did that come as a surprise to you? White people have a tendency to show their prejudices toward black people in the form of, seemingly, harmless compliments. When, in fact, they are backhanded and condescending. Especially when you get into using the term 'well-spoken' when referring to someone black. As if you expect one thing and are surprised to find that isn't the case. These micro aggressions sicken me. These men don't need a 'pat on the head', 'kudos' or 'way to go' from you in order to validate or approve their behavior. The sheer audacity sickens me.
"Nobody said this shit was scary!"....i cant stop laughing 😂😂😂
Literally wasn't expecting some of those moments lol
26:24 NOPE. "Hanged" is correct when talking in this context. You got it right.
I just left the same comment lol
"IS HE F***ING DEAD!?"
The slow realization is *Chef's kiss*
Lol at the moment our brains exploded 🤣
Every scene Haley Joel Osmond is in is amazing the end with him and his mother in the car OMG. I cry every single time I watched it 😢😢
I've just found your channel and am really enjoying your reactions. You are both so switched on and your intelligence and compassion shines through. ❤
We appreciate you so much. This message means a lot to us & truly grateful that you enjoyed/enjoying our reactions. Much love💙
fun fact: M. Night is from Philly (penn valley, philly suburb)! every single one of his movies take place in PA somewhere... and he always uses philly as the marker on the map. i did a biography paper on him back in the day this movie influenced me when it came out.
I recommend watching
The Others with Nicole Kidman
The Passengers with Anne Hathaway
Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron
The Lovely Bones with Marc Walburg
Edit: anything this child actor, his mother, the director and even Bruce Willis has done is a must watch. Just go down a rabbit hole with each actor and the director. Won’t disappoint.
The others was so good
Thanks to Da Kids for reacting to The Sixth Sense, one of the best movies out there. When you watch it again, knowing the twists and turns in the plot, you'll really appreciate the craft and art of this movie's script and acting, editing, filming and directing. It delivers a high standard of film making. Also, enjoying your reactions to Breaking Bad.
Appreciate the love and support! We will definitely have to watch it again and really grasp how great of a film it is! This was a great one 🔥
Loved the reaction! And I knew you were writing notes - saw you do it for Band of Brothers. Smart move, writing notes helps you remember a lot more.
💙
In first scene, wife was cold, probably because ghosts were following Vincent who was breaking into their house...
You can hear whispers under Cole yelling Stuttering Stanley.
Fun fact: The Writer/Director is M. Night Shyamalan who played a bit part as the Doctor bringing up potential abuse at the hospital.
All the clues were there, but we were unable to see it. This was so well put together. I really love this movie
You guys' reaction was so good. I really enjoyed this - thanks!!!
PS
It was a ten.
Best twist ever.
Y’all cracked me up.
Nice reaction
LOVED this, we appreciate you💙
I'm SO GLAD YOU GUYS DID THIS ONE!! Easily one of my favorites of all the movies I've suggested!! Thank you guys for putting this one on here!❤❤❤
Appreciate you Vi!! Great recommendations as always❤️
One of my favorite movies of all time! ❤
I LOVE how intuitive and empathetic the both of you are. I’ve enjoyed watching movies with you. Thanks. Smart guys.
At first. Cole was apprehensive about Malcom. The penny scene where he asked Malcom “how could you help me if your don’t believe me?” Was a hint to Malcom that his purpose in the afterlife was to help him. Physically moving the penny was the tell
Bruce Willis said he was so proud that America kept the secret!
If you want to more of this baby's acting check out A.I. and Pay It Forward, both are phenomenal movies. that boy was an astonishing actor.
Imagine how terrifying it was to be locked in that room with that guy, who he actually saw and knew was in there with him
That was the mother of the little girl who died.
There is a rare psychiatric diagnosis called "Munchausen by Proxy." ....per Web MD....
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) -- or Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care.
MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care.
Cole helped Kyra identify her killer to the world. It was the mom. You are good people because you could not see right away that the mom was the killer. It's not logical for a mom to kill her children, but it does happen.
This one really pulled on the heartstrings. Suspenseful and heart-wrenching. Classic. I also want to say that you have such good hearts. It's so clear that you're good people. Thanks for sharing. Peace. :)
WAS NOT EXPECTING ANY OF THAT! We loved this movie. We appreciate you & this means a lot. Much love💙
Thanks for another awesome reaction. I have to admit that I had a few laughs when I saw your reactions to the ghosts. What's great is that as cool as you guys are, you guys have deep thoughts when it comes to these films.
one of the best plot twists of all time
Lol, my man, that was NOT the little girls Dr. It was 100% her mom.
The guy that plays Vincent is now on Blue Bloods. He is also a member of NKOTB
Donnie Wahlberg, he was also in Band of Brothers.
You've both left out the most important part of his resume, that he's Markie-Mark's brother.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Good Vibrations
The doctor speaking after Cole is locked in the closet is m knight shyamalan, the director and writer of the movie
With regards to why Malcolm's wife was cold in the basement, I've always thought that since Vincent was around, so were the ghosts following him ;-)
Nice reaction... I'm off to check out your Lord Of The Rings reaction now 😀
20:51 I like how pissed you got here. Frustrating every one just standing around.
25:44 Prayed the jump scare away.
35:23 this was a great jump scare
45:01 good job keeping those tears in. That scene gets me every time. Such amazing acting by both of them.
45:37 I’m so glad yall didn’t know this ending. Makes for a great reaction
Great movie. Great reaction.
There are several clues throughout the movie. At the beginning, Cole asks Malcolm if he is a good doctor, and Malcolm answer that he USED to be. At the end, as Cole reaches for the shiny silver door handle of Kiera's bedroom, you can't see Malcolm's reflection.
It was cold because Vincent was upstairs with his ghosts
My favorite Hayley Joel Osment movie is "Secondhand Lions".
I got chills when you realized the twist.
Never saw that coming😬
This film really is a 10! Great reaction y'all, I still get choked up during the car scene with Cole and his mom. Incredible acting, directing, screenplay, musical score, biggest twist, just everything about it was well done.
Completely agree, everything was well done! This was definitely one of our favorite movies we reacted to so far!
Guy on right 😂 I had the same ride you did but you figured it out before me. I was like wait what? What? WHAT? No 😂
🤣🤣 went through every emotion possible🤣
The color red appears with death or dead people. When Malcom was watching the play, there are fewer people and there is a red light.
It was 100% the mom that was poisoning the little girls. She had on a red suit to stand out in a muted toned room (creative decision from the director).
Red was symbolic of death and ghosts.
It wasn't a decision for the mom to stand out, it was the general symbolism.
Great reaction guys! Always a pleasure to see you both.
If you want to watch another 10, Hacksaw Ridge is the true story of Desmond Daws a medal of honor winner. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
You guys have to watch all the M. knight movies! They all have twists like this!
The kid is trying to understand the mechanics of his gift
I enjoyed your reaction - you had some smart and thoughtful observations about the psychological aspects of the characters especially.
MNS movies are so good. Just a journey to mess with your mind and he's fantastic at it. The Village is one of my favorites but I havent seen one yet that I didn't like. Im glad you guys enjoyed this one!
Appreciate the love and support! This was a masterpiece in our eyes can’t wait to bring you guys more great movies👏🏾
Oh I’m Stoked! ✌🏻
👏🏾 this will be a great one!
