Subject: RE: BS: Need cheering up fast
I've seen Sixth Sense now. A really good film. One of the best crafted plots I can remember. I did see where it was heading fairly early, but did not truly know until the end. It was so well constructed and edited. The boy acts brilliantly. When it started, I thought we had picked the wrong time and place, as the cinema was full of giggling teens with pop-corn and cokes (and one with a laser pen), but as soon as it began, they were gripped as we were. I am told that they were discussing it in the men's toilets, and were using words like mesmerising. I am also told that I should at some time see BWP so that I can understand the culture shock of coming from something with no plot and a limited range of vocabulary and ideas to what we had just seen. It was intelligent, knowledgeable, and close to experiences we all know.
