The Sixth Sense (1999)
In M. Night Shyamalan's haunting, twist-ending signature
film:
- in the startling opening sequence, Dr. Malcolm
Crowe (Bruce Willis) was shot (and killed) by angry ex-patient
Vincent Grey (Donnie Wahlberg)
- Dr. Crowe met with his
troubled and depressed wife Anna (Olivia Williams) in a fancy restaurant
for an anniversary date dinner - was it all that it seemed?
- in a scary scene, frightened, paranormal and
tormented 8 year-old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who was hiding
in his tent, shined a flashlight under his chin and saw pale
ghostly young Kyra (Mischa Barton) with bloodshot eyes vomiting
up her morning oatmeal next to him

- Cole also gave his divorced mother Lynn
(Toni Collette) a comforting message from her dead mother - as a
bloody car accident victim appeared in the car window behind
- in the revelation of the plot-twist
scene, Malcolm returned home to find his mourning wife Anna watching
their videotaped wedding on TV. With her eyes closed, she was asking
questions, such as: "Why, Malcolm?...Why did you leave me?" She
was clutching the wedding ring that used to be on his hand. After
it rolled noisily in a circle across the parquet-wood floor, he held
his own left hand up, realizing that he was not wearing his wedding
ring - he experienced the
startling revelation that he was one of the "dead
people" seen by Cole

Cole: "I see people..They don't know they're
dead."

- the famous line of dialogue by Cole: "I see
people" followed
by its real meaning: "...They don't know they're dead. They
only see what they want to see"
