The Sixth Sense | 100 Movies Bucket List

 

Second up for the bucket list was a highly anticipated re-watch.

I've been a fan of M. Night Shyamalan for as long as I can remember, and this is absolutely one of my favourite of his movies.

The story itself is so interesting. We are invested from the first moment in both storylines, and this is mainly down to the characters.

Not only are the characters interesting, but they are people that an audience can really sympathise with and root for. We become deeply invested in their worlds and lives, and that is why the film works as well as it does. We really need to care about them and we truly do.

But another reason this works so well is the acting. Of course Bruce Willis is amazing as always, and Haley Joel Osment is incredible at almost completely carrying the film. But the supporting cast, which includes Toni Collette and Olivia Williams, are also amazing in the roles. 

Osment is absolutely the standout though. 

And then there's the twist, which is what makes the film as incredible as it is. I first saw this film years and years ago, so I've known the twist for a really long time. But knowing it doesn't take anything away from the film at all.

Because as good as discovering the twist is, being able to watch the film, look for clues and see the build up to the reveal scene is a really great experience, and one that makes this such a good film to repeatedly re-watch.

I'm so glad this one was on the list for this year - I'd definitely recommend it!
