Screen Arts 18/2

This week we had to watch one film off the American Film Institute top 100 Films in the last 100 years list. I chose Sixth Sense because despite everything I had seen or read, Ive never actually watched the film itself. The story itself is quite intriguing in that for most of the film, it seems quite normal(other than the kid seeing ghosts part) until you get to the massive plot twist at the end. I honestly didnt know whether I would enjoy the film before I watched it, but I didnt mind it in the end. There was a lot of plot holes involving Bruce Willis' character and his wifes interactions, and no real sense of time. To me, if my significant other was not talking to me I would be doing everything to fix the situation whereas his character almost seemed like it had an "oh well" attitude for a lot of the movie. If I had written it, I would have had them have a huge fight and her leave at the start to offer an alternative as to why she wasnt talking to him. There was definitely a lot of jumping around in time, and nothing really to tie it together other than the characters appearing in each scene. The ending was a bit lackluster as well, or maybe it was just a lil too cheesy for my liking.
