[@rubenmendoza1864]

🙋

[@vinceventresca6763]

American Beauty was cold and sterile, with disturbing subject matter. It was very clean and professionally done. However, there really wasn’t anything to truly enjoy in the experience of watching it. A one and done film. The Sixth Sense was a heck of a ghost story, complete with excellent performances, wonderful story telling and great direction. It was a truly enjoyable experience that people wanted to see multiple times so as to pick up in what they previously missed. The Sixth Sense was easily the better of the two, so it was no surprise American Beauty won Best Picture.

[@Addwater4444]

Second Time around when you actually knew what was going on? I would have cried my eyes out!

[@amiejohnston2842]

I remember watching that too, especially when Cole comes home from school to see his mom and “Malcolm” sitting opposite each other and not even talking. I was like, “Well that’s kind of strange that the mom doesn’t even say anything or at least introduce Cole to the Dr.” After watching the end that’s when I put two and two together.

[@nhma1117]

that's why it's great to re watch!

[@psychonaut5921]

Another thing that sort of gives away that Malcolm is a ghost is that sometimes Cole seemed surprised at seeing him, like in the bus scene, where he's going to the little girl's house. But what really gave the whole thing away, for me, was the 'info dump' scene where Cole says "I see dead people. The dead don't know they're dead, they only see what they want to see. And the dead can't see the other dead..." Too much information, a 'dead' giveaway!

[@desiv1170]

Yeah, and I think that is another reason it was wise to cut that scene. I might have been more likely to wonder about him just walking into that guy's house and not getting offered any lemonade. ;-)

[@bethc8809]

When we watched this for the first time we rented it, and my mom called it in the first 10 minutes and we laughed because that was a ridiculous thing to think - she was understandably upset with her 3 teenagers mocking her so she got up and left watching it. About halfway through, we started noticing Bruce wasn't acting normally around the kid and when it was revealed we were all shocked and I remember shouting "mom you were right?!!!" And her shouting back "I'm always right! I'm your mother!" 😅

[@ronnieferguson9337]

He made the right choice cutting all of these scenes. It didn’t make sense him helping out spirits all while being deathly afraid and/or assaulted by them and the original ending was heart wrenchingly beautiful! 👍🏾

Yes I agree, although all of these scenes are masterful in their own right and it was too bad they had to go! 😩 Thank you Mr. Shayamalan for your sacrifices and for your amazing sensitivity and patience with your actors, giving them the time and space to do or say whatever they felt necessary at the time. 👌

[@andrewclodfelter3782]

The movie is a masterpiece. The soundtrack is haunting and the actors are on their A game.

[@IdahoRanchGirl]

Any movie that can totally surprise me at the ending is a good movie to me as I can usually figure out what's gonna happen in movies. At the end of this movie I was like "Wait. Whaaat?" Then I immediately had to watch the movie again just to see that his wife never actually responded to anything he said. I remember wondering why he could just walk upstairs in a house of ppl he didn't know (little girl poisoned scene funeral get together at house), I thought "oh he can just walk upstairs in someone's house". It was lots of little things, I thought how it was a stupid movie just because of things like that. So when it ended, I was amazed. Absolutely stunned and immediately re-watched it and thought how the movie was just brilliant! It fooled me! Unexpected ending! BRAVO! EXCELLENT! This is my favorite movie of all time. SCENT OF A WOMAN is right behind it.

That's true. When I first saw the movie, I had an inkling of the twist during the scene where Malcolm and Cole's mother were sitting together in the living room -- but not talking.

Poor kid.. he wasn't strange .. he had a gift and was afraid of it. He had a far greater propose on earth that nobody understood.

[@Veronica.A.]

Seeing dead people isn't a gift. The fact that he helped people during his own misery and fears, made me think that he is a gift himself.

[@coreyhall1150]

​@@Veronica.A.I think ppl that can see and talk to the dead and have psychic abilities are on a different spiritual plane than most ppl. I feel like there is a godly thing going on with these ppl.. like god chose them.

My God, loved this movie so much! What a great child actor Haley was.

[@laurenonmoonlightdr]

Such a well made movie. I still love it even though I still cry during it!

[@lauriemarie6902]

Thank you so much m night shyamala. I truly appreciate your work sir. Philadelphia USA

[@feralbluee]

i love this film. the kid is very good. that scene with the soldiers is so poignant. i see why you took the scenes out of the story, but i’m so glad to see them as they really add more depth to the boy’s character. Bruce Willis is such a good actor - he carried out the subtleties of his character so well. so thank you so much for showing us these scenes. you are a fantastic director. and thank you, Filmingmentory for posting this. it is so appreciated :) 🌷

Haley Joe Osmond was and still probably is a great Actor!

[@eb4676]

Yeah he was on the Hulu series with Josh hutcherson Future Man. His sister was on Hannah Montana

Al, may I introduce you to “Entourage” the movie. HJO is god awful in it…absolutely cringeworthy.

@@Copyingjoyce1207 Yeah the entire movie was off! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Still think he’s a good Actor. 🤠

He's been making small memorable parts in cool shows like Silicon Valley

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I do wish these scenes had not been cut, especially the Mr Marshal scenes. I think I could have dealt with the initial confusion better than the vomiting child ghost. It adds compassion to Cole's gift. And I don't think the goodbye was redundant. I saw the original cut. It was shocking. But I don't think the deletion of these cuts would have taken away from the shock or horror, or the compassion of the entire film.

[@bellgrace2471]

i disagree, i think it was best mr marshal's scene was cut. when Willis' character is at cole's house scenes are set up to make you believe he has already been interacting with Cole's mother and now he's there soley to interact with Cole as his psychiatrist. At the wake you don't give much thought as to why no one was talking to Willis' character but in Mr Marshal's home its very perculiar. you just have this stange man in your house lurking in a corner and your not going to address it. Also, the scene takes away from the impact Willis' character has on Cole. in the final cut you have a terrified boy dealing with this horror and no one to confide in. Willis' character comes along and Cole starts to open up to him and Willis is able to direct him in a positive direction. to not be afraid of the ghosts but instead help them. Willis has managed to help Cole where he failed the other kid. he believed Cole and helped him build strategies to deal with his reality. at the end when Willis' ghost passes its fufilling to watch as a viewer because he was able to truly help Cole when he couldn't help the other kid and because he believed him he could see he is a ghost and say goodbye to his wife and move on.

[@floatingsara]

Mr Marshal scene would have brought many people to understand too quickly what was going on.

[@lifewithlee6298]

I get why they cut the part with the old man , even if it is a great scene it shows he already know how to help the living from advice from the dead. When the whole build up was he was so afraid to ask the ghost what they wanted

[@lindadouglass4692]

[@emily_endicott]

I remember seeing the Mr Marschal scene when The Sixth Sense came on TV one time. Nobody believed me! LoL I thought it was such a poignant scene!!! But I was really beginning to think I had imagined it! I’m soooo happy to have come across this video! 😅😅😅

[@katlovesdogs4119]

emily endicott • So, I wasn't the only one! I loved that scene and looked for it in every showing after that to no avail. Of course I had thought he was dead from the start, so all those little clues just verified what I thought to begin with. You had to have figured it out from the wake, right, I mean he was there with all those people and no one wondered who he was or why a stranger was at this child's wake?

[@AliciaGuitar]

I saw it in theaters when it first came out and i remember the soldier scene. I guess cuts and uncuts happen at different points sometimes.

Beautifully crafted film: Acting, music, direction, costume, everything. So glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@rosannacellini2158]

Bruce and Haley were magnificent together. I definitely believe, this mesmerizing and emotional movie, deserved, the Academy Award, and both actors, with M. Knight, the Oscars. Also Kudos to wonderful actor, Toni Collette for best supporting performance! She got the Philly accent down pretty good. I lived in Philly and worked around that area for months, at that time to. Great memory.

Usually I’m good figuring out the plot after watching the first two scenes but I did not expect Bruce to be a ghost. That blew my mind.

[@milena6037]

One of my best ever all time child stars. I hope they paid him extremely well. Would love to see more of him in a drama series or a movie like this.. the other child actor is Ricky Schroder in the movie " The Champ" with John Voight. Another must see.. and this had me crying 😢 😭 so hard 2 boxes of kleenex..

[@jamesfreeman2258]

Several scenes stunned me. Not because they were necessarily original, but Because of the actors in this movie. When Willis is shot in the beginning, and the man who does it reveals his inner pain. 2) When Hailey & his Mom are in the car and Hailey explains all about his Mom,'s Mom to her. Collette's reaction to finally believing her boy who sees dead people is Remarkable 3) When Hailey takes the Dr to the receptuon after the funeral, and Hailey hands the grieving Dad the tape that shows his wife killing their child. The Dad's horror on his face is in itself worthy of a Oscar. 4) The obvious compassion Haily shows in this film for everyone 5) The interaction between Collette & Hailey as Mom & child is so touching. The iconic films are the ones that are original in storyline and have the right actor to play each character in orginality.

Your original vision would have been a great film as well. You should do a directors cut with the cut scenes included. Most people have seen the original. The directors cut would add depth. I’d definitely watch it!

This film scared the HELL out of me. I slept with the friggin lights on for about a week. And I was about 27. lol

[@baggergurl16]

[@Anthony-gq7dk]

One of my favourite films and I have seen many. Such a clever story and so well delivered, cast, acted and edited. I think the deleted scenes could have worked. Audiences are very tuned in when the film engrossed them and they work out plots and ideas very fast. Nevertheless, the theme and message is excellent and it works so well. A ghost story that doesn't scare or horrify and send a positive message. But is Haley Joe a good actor or what ! The mom too was a perfect match. Yep, best picture was stolen from this one and a few more Oscars too. A winner in so many departments and still watchable.

[@sjp4u338]

HJO deserved the Oscar.

[@agresticumbra]

I was kinda torn between HJO, and the other nominee with 3 names: Michael Clarke Duncan, for The Green Mile.

[@amiejohnston2842]

Michael Caine won (whom I adore) and he actually got up there and instead of making the usual speech, he humbly acknowledged everyone who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. After that, he singled out Hayley and being the English gentleman that Michael is, complimented him on his amazing performance at such a young age. He was in awe of him. ❤️

[@BlackieNuff]

This movie and The Others blew my mind with the "big reveal" at the end. Oh, and Identity did the same thing, but not quite to the same degree as The Sixth Sense and The Others. With Identity, the reveal just kind of put everything into perspective and I was like "Ohhhh, now I get it", but The Sixth Sense and The Others made me go "Wait! WTF? Holy crap!"

[@andrewhodgkins2292]

Alongside 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Forrest Gump' this is without doubt one of the greatest movies ever made. I could watch it over and over. There's always something new to see.
