Pay attention to the visual of how the film uses the color red. It is used as a clue. Red dress. Red doorknob.

@39:50 The mother was suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. She was keeping her daughter sick so she would receive the attention and sympathy that comes with it. After her older daughter died, she started to poison her other daughter according to the dialogue.

You noticed the red dress at the funeral. There's red in every scene with a ghost. His wife is wearing red at the anniversary dinner. A red balloon leads Cole upstairs at the birthday party. The door knob to the locked and blocked basement is red. Cole's safety tent is made out of a red blanket. The attention to detail is amazing.

[@lavenderjustice7723]

Glad someone else noticed that. Brilliant film.

I was going to mention this as well. Using red like that such a great idea. Really makes you look when you rewatch it.

[@luketimewalker]

oh wow

[@DonnaCPunk]

Even Cole's mom has that kinda burnt red sweater on st the end when he tells her. I think M Night said the red represents things touched by the Paranormal. Maybe hinting she has the same gift but not as strong.

Bruce is a ghost. Every scene with Bruce does not have red, so there is no correlation.

Particularly considering Bruce Willis' current condition, I am very thankful for all the films we have to enjoy and share with generations of fans to come.

Ok, but the actor playing the guy in the bathroom and the actor playing the girl's dad fucking nailed their scenes despite only having like two minutes of screen-time. Even the side actors bring in their A-game.

Right?! The acting was incredible across the board - every single person gave it their all and it makes the film even better!

After filming this movie Bruce Willis said that Haley Joel Osmant was the most professional actor that he's ever had the pleasure of working with. He said he was blown away by his acting abilities because they were far beyond his years and better than most of the long time adult actors he's worked with.

[@luciaelizabeth9233]

I read in trivia that when Haley went to audition, M. Night asked him if he had read it to prepare and Haley said ''yes, i read it three times last night''. M. Night says ''wow, you read your part three times in one night?''. ''No, i read the script three times''... The whole script. He was ten. 😵

[@kevinlangley3782]

He was great in Second hand lions too .

[@vanessa4u4evr]

When Haley went to audition for this role, the casting director said that the first thing that impressed him about Haley was that he was the only one who showed up wearing a tie. The second thing was how well and flawlessly he read and already knew his lines at that stage in the process. They asked him how did he know his lines so well in such a short span of time. He responded that he read and studied them three times the night before his scheduled audition. Of course, they were amazed and replied, "You read and studied your lines three times last night?" Haley replied, "No, I read and studied the entire script three times last night." It was a done deal. Game over. Haley was also a straight-A student by the way.

[@Sandra-wj4on]

I love how we get two different reactions to this movie: one reaction from someone who’s never saw the movie and the reaction from someone seeing it for a second time. Both reactions are amazing.

[@besupaaa]

The mom is my favorite character. As scared as she is, shes still so supportive and loving towards her son. We learn she used to dance and when she's cleaning the house she's listening to music. I like her a lot.

[@mattburgess5697]

She’s not perfect either. She still sometimes gets snappy or frustrated. Like a real person, in a really difficult situation.

[@nickstark8640]

What’s also very interesting is knowing Cole knew Malcolm was dead from the moment he first saw him. Remember in the church he says, “I’m gonna SEE you again, aren’t I.” That is further revealed when Cole tells Malcom he SEES dead people. It’s also telling when Cole initially doesn’t say anything to Malcom after his mom goes off to make his triangle pancakes. He didn’t want his mom to think he was talking to himself.

[@harish123az]

And he literally ran away from him to hide in a church with Malcolm following him, he was scared of Malcolm too.

[@nickstark8640]

@@harish123az I’m guessing he only stopped being afraid of Malcolm after Malcolm opened up to him in that story. It was only then that he told Malcom his secret.

Also Cole’s name is a subtle hint as to his ability as well - it’s Cole Sear, but if you use a soft C pronunciation it is basically Soul Seer.

[@TheLightSideReactions]

Notice the desk blocking the door with the red doorknob? Bruce's ghost kept opening the door to go to his office in the basement. She put the desk there to stop it from opening "on its own." He was haunting her without realizing it. That's why he tells her at the end "things will be different" in the morning when he's finally gone to rest.

[@ravenID429]

Oh I never even realized

[@ruthl3ssstudio163]

Damn I didnt notice that. I thought maybe he was just using the door or "thought" he was using the door because ghosts only see what they want to see and he just went through the table like it wasnt there because he couldnt see. That makes so much more sense!

[@shannansmith2188]

NICE CATCH!

Not only that but all of his old stuff is always out and clearly recently used. He was scaring the shit out of her every single day so finally she stopped going down there.

[@samqualls1339]

Another detail that gets overlooked is that Bruce Willis is wearing the same clothes the whole film. He removes layers at times so it is hard to notice, but it is always the outfit he wore the night he died.

[@georgekellon2471]

The sweatshirt she gave him in the beginning because it was cold, the suit, the shirt and the coat was part of his living consciousness, so he was able to wear a variety of the same stuff without us noticing. That blew my mind upon second views .

[@VonPatzy]

If you think the kid is a great actor on your first watch it gets better on the revisit. It starts with him RUNNING to the church to hide from Malcolm - the current ghost that is hunting him. He ignores Malcolm as long as he can in abject shut down terror - it even takes him a minute to verbally respond to the ghost doctor. Cole actually learns to help ghosts by consciously deciding to help Dr Crow when he opens up to Cole about his marriage. This is when Cole tells him his secret. Then when they say goodbye at the end Cole knows the doctor is going to pass over and stop appearing “I’m not going to see you anymore” and so he helps his favorite ghost at this moment. “try talking to your wife when she’s asleep”. The fact that Cole has known since jump what was up but that this one ghost helped him see that they weren’t all angry monsters but just lost. It’s just so good.

[@cindyknudson2715]

Cole runs to the church for sanctuary. I think the fact that Malcolm is able to come into the church gives Cole a clue of reassurance that he is not harmful. Cole isn't afraid of his grandma already.

When a film legend tells you that your performance is astonishing when you're only a kid? Just brilliant.

[@inthedarkanonymous5625]

“The characters feel like real people.” Yes. This is something we rarely get from movies anymore.

[@mattburgess5697]

Thank you for giving props to the actor who played the older Vincent. He’s often unsung but he plays the hell out of this role, a young man who has been traumatised beyond comprehension. For the record that’s Donnie Wahlberg, one of the founding members of 80s boy band New Kids on the Block and brother of Mark Wahlberg. Lots of roles in this are underrated. Olivia Williams as the wife Anna has to play two simultaneous roles, one for those who have seen it, one for those who haven’t. She nails both. Toni Collette is hardly underrated but my god is she good. This mother doing her best in an impossible situation, at the edge of her rope and desperately trying. It’s all just… so good.

I loved Bruce and didn't really know Haley much (I didn't see the various sitcoms he was on) until Forrest Gump, so Toni was one of the draws to go see this film. The other draw was various friends, "Go see The Sixth Sense. I won't say anything about it, just trust me." 😏

[@MediocreComedian]

I watched this at least three times before I noticed that Malcom’s wardrobe never changed. Another brilliant move by M. Knight.

39:45 - "Why would she do that?". It's a condition called "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy". It's an attention seeking condition where a caregiver (usually a mother) seeks attention by creating an illness in their child, then coming to their aide. It allows them to play "hero" and "victim" at the same time.

[@gundamsigma]

That wait was so painful, for the moment the revelation came that Malcolm was dead since the beginning. Then the genius of the way his interactions showed that he’s been dead the whole time and how poetic Cole’s line “they only see what they want to see” as us the viewer only wanted to see Malcolm fix things

[@michaeladundon]

It's so clever how they show the breath and coldness when a ghost is near so then you realise that at the very beginning when she is in the basement, his previous patient is already in the house and the ghosts he sees have followed him there. I also love that there is something red whenever a ghost is near. Including the scenes with Bruce Willis after he is shot. This kid is one of the absolute best child actors ever, the way he plays this role is incredible.

The Sixth Sense was nominated for six Oscars but didn't win any of them.

[@dsscam]

Hayley Joel, Toni Collette, and M. Night were all nominated for Oscars and none won. The movie was nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing. Won none of them. The Academy is so moronic. They can't see a classic when it's right in front of them. When interviewed afterward, Haley Joel said, "I see stupid people!" You guys missed the fact that he saved the sister's life because the mother was poisoning her too. Other than that, very impressive reaction. Usually, I don't like watching when 1 reactor has seen it and knows the twist and says they won't say anything- but usually gives it away with their actions. Didn't happen here! It was a perfect reaction on both sides. Great job!

Such a joy to see someone go in unspoiled to this one, even now, nearly _25 years_ later (no YOU'RE old :) and have it hit just as hard. Just a masterful movie IMO - writing, directing, acting, score, everything combines to hit it out of the park. (appreciate the shout out to Olivia Williams too BTW - as Malcolm's wife - who I became a fan of after this and who I think delivers a fantastic performance but maybe doesn't always get the love because hers is a smaller role. She absolutely convinces as both a wife disengaging from her husband and then later, when we know, as a grieving widow who _can't_ disengage from her husband. And if that's not enough, she's actually English so she evokes all that while doing an American accent to boot :)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This was such a fantastic film! So glad I got to experience all the surprises beat by beat the same way everybody did when this came out. It truly is an unforgettable experience!

I saw this in the theatre, and total silence, then gasps as everyone realized it at the end! I’ve probably watched reactions to it at least 20 times & I cry every time!

[@troywhitworth1106]

One of Bruce Willis's understated performances. Contrast this with Die Hard, Armageddon, etc. A little known gem starring Willis is "In Country" probably his best work. Great reaction by both!!

[@highheartwellness]

One of the best movies hands down. Great reaction. Superb writing, with the best twist ever. And the twist was even revealed in the film by Cole to Malcolm, yet we still don't experience the reveal until Malcolm does. Magical film making!

[@bowi1332]

If you haven't seen it, "The Village" by M. Night Shyamalan is quite good too! I think it's his second best after The Sixth Sense. Honestly, I liked most of his films... Signs; Unbreakable; Split; The Visit... I liked those the most.

[@kingscorpion7346]

Haley Joel-Osment was a fantastic child actor! His first movie was Forest Gump with Tom Hanks, Haley played Forest Jr, he was 6 years old at the time. then in quick succession he did 3 movies, each a year apart, with The 6th Sense (1999), Pay It Forward (2000), and A.I. (2001). The next movie I saw him in was in 2015; a story where he's a college student, working on the issue of time travel. He's still acting to this day as an adult on TV. though you wouldn't recognize him right now with that ZZ Top style beard he's sporting!

[@Dan_Geer_]

He will always be Sora to me.

[@CrankyGrandma]

Second Hand Lions was a film he did at about age 12. It’s worth seeing.

[@beetlebob4675]

I cheered when I saw him in The Boys. I was so genuinely happy to see him again.😂

[@jacquelinekenknight9280]

Second Hand Lions… he’s absolutely amazing in that! Great movie ❤

[@shainewhite2781]

I saw this in the theater with my parents, and the twist, holy crap, it made my jaw drop! It was one of the highest grossing movies of 1999, $672 million dollars against a $40 million dollar budget. It was nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture, but lost to the controversial dark comedy American Beauty, which won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Maaaan, we WISHED we could have watched this in theatres, that twist is just breathtaking!! It honestly should have won the oscar, it is a fantastic movie!! Especially because when you rewatch it, it's like you're watching a different movie - everything carries such a stronger meaning!

[@acdchook]

I remember watching the Oscars that year and I was certain that Haley Joel Osment would win Best Supporting Actor. And when he lost it to Michael Caine for Cider House Rules, nobody could believe it. Michael Caine is a great actor, but in that year nothing compared to this performance. The movie was nominated for 6 Oscars in total, and unbelievably won none.

[@headingley72]

@@acdchook I disagree that nothing compared to this, but it was not Michael Caine. It was Michael Clarke Duncan in the Green Mile that was a fantastic film and acting stint and he was also up for the best supporting that year as well.

[@sinnesbild]

yes, this movie is so amazing and great reaction. you should check out American Beauty though! would be so fun to see you react to that movie!@@OfficialMediaKnights

[@MullenaxM]

I saw this in the theater too with my dad. We talked about it the whole way home. This film had the best twist and made M. Night Shyamalan's career. Those who didn't see it where told to go see it on faith alone and were not disappointment. Eventually everyone was whispering "I see dead people."

[@BackroadTv2016]

Her face every time he takes a guess at whats happening when you know the twist is hilarious

[@patriciagrant4913]

I don't know if anyone else noticed this little 'give away.' There is a bright chrome doorknob in one of the scenes where you can see Cole's reflection in it, but you can't see Malcolm's reflection. There was also a mirror in the stairwell in one of the scenes for just a second, and you don't see Malcome's reflection. The second time I watched this movie, I looked for the clues. Great reaction as always.

[@tankediatriba]

That boy deserved the Oscar.

[@johnescobar9951]

And mon,Toni Collete

[@sirdavidoftor3413]

I am not a fan of the horror genre, however, I love this movie. There is an actual story that keeps my attention and I find myself captivated by my concern for Cole, finding a solution for him, rather than making a story to scare you. So many good scenes and the twist at the end got me real good! Even though I have seen this movie about 5 times, it still tears me up! Great reaction! Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong

[@jonesy7939]

Single-handedly the creepiest, most suspense-filled, and yet the most emotionally gripping films of my lifetime. This film is so well cast and directed it's insane

I was a young mother when this movie came out, and I felt so much anguish for that mom, and my heart just ached for that little boy. I cried nearly all the way through it.

[@babyfry4775]

Great movie and I’m so glad most people don’t tell the surprise ending to ruin it for new viewers. So well done and I loved the acting of Haley Joel Osment, Bruce Willis and Toni Collete (mom). It’s one of my favorites. I also loved your wife’s subtle looks at the camera knowing she knows but won’t tell her hubby about what’s going on. Great reactions!😄

[@Starbean89]

I was nine years old when this came out and saw it in theaters with my mom and little sister. Spent the whole time watching hiding behind the seats infront of me and I love this movie to this day. Even if it makes me cry every time I see it.

Haha this is such a kind comment, thank you so so much!! It took every ounce of my will to not give things away, and I'm glad it worked 😂

[@ruthl3ssstudio163]

Ive seen multiple 6th sense reactions, but this one is the best so far! I was tearing up with you during the scene where he told his mom about the ghosts. Well done! Also, Ive never known what the ghost was saying in Spanish and I loved the fact you guys were able to translate that for us!

[@jayge17]

Denise's little looks at us sprinkled in the reaction were priceless, lol. I watched this with my kids a few months ago, and I found myself feeling jealous of them, getting to see it without knowledge of the twist. That is one if the great things about this film, the fact that it holds up on rewatch and is still amazing. But you only get to watch it the first time once, as stupid as that sounds, you guys know what I mean!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely! Everyone should get to experience the very first time with this movie! It is an absolute rollercoaster and that final twist really did it for me! This film is timeless. After 2 decades it is still highly effective because good storytelling never ages 😃

[@warrust]

The moment of euphoria of able to piece together in your head at that reveal is an experience I'd love to have again.

[@CTTillman]

When Malcolm hits the window at the bookstore and breaks it after he saw his wife close to that other guy, pay attention to the window... The break has no impact point, the cracks are not spidering out like a window hit by something, it's uniform and unpatterned like when glass is broken by fast temperature changes. Another intentional detail.

[@dudieb]

It doesn’t happen often but sometimes someone will catch on early to the ending and I hate that for them because nothing is better than, like you said, the cold feeling you get right at the end when it is revealed. For me Haley Joel Osment’s performance is the most amazing thing about this movie and there are so many amazing things happening here. How do you get a young child to give an Oscar worthy performance that would be difficult for an adult to accomplish? I think his character is why it is so easy to fool us because you are so concentrated on the horror of what this young child is going through that your brain doesn’t have time to process anything else. You mentioned Forest Gump. Haley Joel also played Forest’s child in that movie. He also delivered a insane performance in A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Needs Kleenex. Great reaction from both of you.

[@emilysmith259]

Another favorite Haley Joel Osment movie of mine is Pay it Forward. Another tear jerker!

[@t.c.thompson2359]

The scene in the car always makes me tear up, amazing acting from both but especially her.

45:40.....best part of this clip is like one of you already saw the film and the other has not! Great reaction !! 😘😘😘

[@jaakkomantyjarvi7515]

A lot of attention went into making the ghost manifestations consistent. The color red signifies the presence of the supernatural. When ghosts are angry or upset, the temperature drops. Ghosts cannot interact with physical objects unless they are really angry or determined (as with the ghosts hurting Cole, or Malcolm smashing the glass when seeing his wife and the other guy, or the poisoned girl ripping open Cole's tent).

[@millerlite87]

Don’t forget on the funeral he also doesn’t interacted with anyone and Cole is the one who hands the dad the box with the video.

[@nicolem376]

To see more of Haley Joel Osment’s phenomenal child acting you should watch “AI Artificial Intelligence” and “Secondhand Lions”. He also was in “Pay it Forward” and a small role in “Forrest Gump”.

[@CrankyGrandma]

I loved second hand lions

[@Dalarus]

I'm a 51 year old man and the car scene gets me every..damn..time. I'm pretty good a sussing out movie plots early (to the annoyance of my wife) but this is the first movie that got me. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[@joshuacoldwater]

I love so many things about this film, SO MANY THINGS. Haley Joel Osment proved beyond a doubt that no, NO, other kid could’ve taken this role. Toni Collette is the only one who can take the light off of him, and what does she do? She shines it harder on him, and bows out in tears. She is phenomenal. Olivia Williams (Malcolm’s Wife), plays her role to perfection- had she not, the film would’ve folded. While all of this amazing acting going on, Bruce Willis was dancing scene to scene, ever so briefly and peacefully. This film is one of the reasons I love movies.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely agreed! Everybody in this worked in tandem to make it such an unforgettable experience. What a fantastic film! Haley Joel Osment killed it in this. Such an incredible performance that truly gave the weight this film needed.

[@sparkle1596]

@@OfficialMediaKnights AI is another great movie with haley if you're interested. he's incredibly talented!

[@user-wi9hv2pb2q]

spoilers: After watching this for like the 29th time with the two of you. when Cole goes to the little girl's house he tells malcolm 'don't go home' only you can't understand that comment until the end but... then he reaches for the door handle which is silver and reflective, the suspense is swelling about what's Behind the door, so we don't notice Malcolm isn't in the reflection, just Cole. Shamalan likes to use the camera shots to show us the whole truth in plain sight but were too busy being scared of the ghosts, so we only see what we want to see too. Also he talks to him mom in her sleep and she calms down and feels better. Thats how he got the idea to tell Malcolm, and they use the same words, "you sleep now."

[@maxulic]

It is a pity that Osment doesn't do much anymore. He's just an incredible actor, he was as a kid and still is today.

[@JRSiebz]

He was recently in a couple episodes of What We Do in the Shadows, once in season 2, and again in season 5

[@Darkstar72SR]

*”They only see what they want to see”* The filmmaker isn’t just referring to the “ghosts’ in the movie but to the people watching the movie as well. The way it was written and shot, purposefully leads the viewer to not question what should be obvious after the fact; that the leading man didn’t survive past the first dozen minutes of the start. A quick jump to him sitting out on a nice day followed by his chatting with a patient. Of course we’re glad he “survived” and there’s no reason to question that. Even when the movie drops subtle clues to it along the way. Such as Malcolm never speaking to anyone but Cole. Even after Cole reveals his secret, we don’t question if Malcolm survived the gunshot because there have been just as many indications that he’s just on the “outs” with his wife and is dealing with the trauma of his “near death”.

[@kcw1879]

She did such an amazing job not spoiling the movie for him.

[@herrzimm]

The 6th Sense twist ending is a cinematic "iconic moment". BUT, the reason why it works so well for 1st time viewers is due to the fact that the story is focused on Cole more than anything else. So we get pulled into HIS story and relationship with his mother, that when the twist DOES take place... EVERYTHING falls into place as to why it was always Cole and Malcolm interacting but nobody else, AND why Malcolm is able to reach (and work with) Cole so well. Because out of all the ghosts that Cole does see, Malcolm is the only one that does NOT scare him and actually treats him as a "person" and not as a "instrument" that the other ghosts needed Cole to be.
