[@datboi04]

This movie gets even better on a rewatch because you see everything with a completely different context. You don't see a bitter and depressed woman shunning and blatantly cheating on her equally depressed husband, you see a woman so overwhelmed with grief that she can't move on and let herself even have a chance at being with someone else. Even that guy, you don't see as a sleazy home wrecker, he's actually a really nice, normal guy. One of the most cleverly written movies of all time.

[@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 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.

I hosted the Scottish premiere of this movie and the twist blew me away. A couple of weeks later, I took my Mum, and, about 45 minutes in, she leaned in and said "he's dead, isn't he?".

Wow, salty lol. Figuring out a plot point early on has nothing to do with "looking for the twists so they can feel smart". That's a pretty ludicrous statement. Some people are great at noticing subtleties and subtext, and pick up on clues and it clicks into place quickly. Some people aren't good at that, and are paying more attention to other aspects of a film/show. It's not right or wrong either way, and shouldn't be a point of contention. Everyone's brain works differently. Telling people that they're just trying to feel smart and to shut up says waaay more about you than it does about them.

For real. You follow Inigo and his dad for that year creating the sword. How Fezzik was forced to be a fighter by his parents.

[@mrtim5363]

Indeed, & very few movie goers predicted the ending. M. Night was not well known so we didn't know his style. However there were a few very bright people who figured it out early on. Like my friend who in the theater, screamed, jumped to his feet and yelled out. OMG... HE'S DEAD. Whereupon the rest of the theater goers gave him free candy & popcorn for the remainder of the movie. I had to get up & change seats. Too much of the 'free popcorn & candy' was landing on me. So rest assured, the public at the time didn't have a clue what was going on. Nor were they fond of somebody giving it away, halfway through the film.

I was bullied a lot and hiding that I was treated poorly at my house too, because I thought nobody would be able to help me anyway, so saying the truth would be pointless or it would make my situation worse.

Of course, nowadays, with my noticing how infrequently even a movie can get me to cry by myself, I shouldn't be surprised lol. And until VERY recently, there was NO movie that could get me to cry MORE than once... UNTIL the one called "Nimona." I was extremely surprised during my subsequent watches of that movie (and watching reactions, and reading / writing KZbin comments) when I noticed (yes I kept count), that movie (or its scenes or even reading lines from it) got me to shed tears a total of ELEVEN (11) times!

[@majkus]

In an interview, the director (M. Night Shyamalan) said that Haley Joel Osment was unique as a child actor. Other kid actors do their scenes (remembering that most films are shot out of sequence) with only a minimal understanding of the context, typically just some set-up instruction from the director. Osment, unlike other kid actors, had read the whole script, and genuinely understood what the film was about. That, combined with his expressive face, made for what may be the best performance by a child actor any of us have seen.

[@brianmatthews1736]

The Sixth Sense undoubtedly has the absolutely best plot twist ever. Now they do give clues throughout the film for those who can pick up on them, but also they finally reveal it so we can fully understand in the end as well for all of us. It is kind of a mix of psychological thriller-esk, mixed with slightly horror film vibe. Cause the ghosts will show signs of their murders, deaths, etc. It mixes mental health with actual ESP. The fact that Malcolm was able to help Cole by explaining that the Ghosts know that Cole can see them, and what they want is just help, and Malcolm was a ghost who wanted help from Cole as well. He wanted to know how to talk to his wife, and Cole told him to talk to her while she was sleeping, and it worked. She answered him when he spoke in her sleep. Her dropping the ring was her starting to let go, and that was the clue that let Malcolm know he had died. The ghost of the little girl is the most heart wrenching outside of Malcolm's story for me. She wanted help from Cole for justice for her death, and for the person guilty of killing her to be brought to justice. So that her little sister wouldn't have the same thing happen to her. I SUSPECT the woman that was feeding the poison to the little girl had "Munchausen by Proxy syndrome" mental health issue. MANY things make this a masterpiece. LOVE IT!

I remember watching this movie during Film Studies class in high school. And I was one of the few people not shocked at the reveal. The teacher had us list our reasons why we suspected etc. some people said he never changed his clothes, or interacted directly with another. Me I knew practically at the start. At the first meeting. I thought it was really weird the mother didn't introduce him to the son or ask him about the meeting after. Etc. As a protective older sister I would never leave my kid with a virtual stranger. Not without some questioning first.

[@evanirvana500]

There definitely is no good reason why the mom was poisoning the daughter, however there is a syndrome called Munchausen by proxy. Basically it's when a caretaker, usually the mother but sometimes the father or whomever is the primary caretaker of the child, will harm the child usually by poison but not always, in order to get attention themselves. There's variations on this theme, like teachers nurses doctors basically anyone who gives care to someone who can't really defend themselves. This is actually been around for a very long time just under different names. In some cases with some others they've killed up to 7-8 of their children and then one case a woman killed eight of her children and then one of her adopted children, which is what got her caught because obviously wouldn't be hereditary if it was adopted. So it's actually a real thing.

[@sdfried4877]

The bitch wearing a red dress to her kid's funeral is a dead giveaway. It's all about gaining attention through the child. It's possible she didn't mean to kill her and only meant to keep her sick indefinitely, but things happen. This was her last change to bask in all that sweet sympathy.

The first meeting at Cole's house, the Mom and Bruce never interact. "You're nice, but you can't help me." His problem is seeing dead people. Though he's nice, he's dead." Haley Joel Osment was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Michael Caine won and gave a great speech about his fellow nominees. Definitely worth a watch. Cole's mom is Toni Collett.

[@sfkeepay]

When this came out, it was still very possible to go to a movie without it any spoilers, or even knowing the general plot. The Empire Strikes Back kept its big secret, as did the Usual Suspects, for most moviegoers, as did this film. But the point isn’t to challenge or fool the audience. It was to allow the most emotional, impactful moment to really gel until the climax, so that you can feel much of what Bruce’s character feels…that shock of understanding. If you think about it, it’s not unlike what loved ones feel when someone close to them dies. Even when the person has been ill and their deaths are expected, it’s still an emotional earthquake. The movie allows us time to really get to know him, and care about him, as well as his wife. So it hits with genuine force, but doesn’t leave you feeling stupid. Particularly when watching it back then with an audience, the revelation was a shared experience. And I should add, until she dropped the ring at the end, it never crossed my mind. I was totally swept up in the story. It was awesome…something guessing early would totally deprive you of. Besides, there’s a lot to be said for simply staying in the moment in a movie, not trying to anticipate everything that will happen. Reactions where the viewer is constantly guessing about what will happen…even to the point of talking over dialogue or through great moments…become a tedious exercise of folks just seemingly trying to prove they’re clever. Which, for me, defeats the purpose. Great film, great reaction and commentary, as usual.

Probably the best twist that I've experienced. Such strong acting from Haley Joel and Toni and Bruce, particularly since this is not his usual milieu. And what's great is being able to go back time and again and see all the clues and hints dropped along the way, that I completely blanked on. Early, in the church, Cole asks if he's a good doctor, and the doctor's reply is "I used to be." So literal! The only problem is that when you debut with a feature film that's this strong, it's hard to have a strong trajectory with other films. M. Night was blessed to start with this one--the writing is SO strong--but it's kind of a mixed bag with following movies.

29:01 that's one of the things that makes this plot twist so great. It's right in front of us the entire time. He toes the line of showing us the entire film, and yet 90% of us just won't put it together. But when we figure it out at the end, everything make such sense and all is so obvious. M. Night Shyamalan executed absolute genius in making this movie.

[@PrismaticController]

It brings me joy when you react to any suspense or horror films. This one is such a classic. The twist in the third act had everyone gagged.

[@penguincgm489]

This movie is so sad but beautiful. Even though Malcolm is dead, but without his ghost guided Cole to the right direction, who know how Cole would end up. This way Cole got the what he wants, he's no longer scared, and he can help both ghosts and some of the related living too. Like the ghost of the little girl, if Cole didn't help her, her sister was probably going to face the same fate.

[@jpiccone1]

I saw it in the theater, and I didn't even know there was a twist. I got it when the wedding ring rolled, so a little behind you. In the theater the jump scares are so much worse.

[@torontomame]

The scene with Cole and his mom in the car near the end always has me in tears.

[@sathvamp1]

I know, right?! It's pretty rare for a movie / scene to get tears out of me, but that scene in the car with Cole and his mom did it!

[@flashgordon10001]

No, no one saw the surprise twist coming. I worked in Hollywood for 36 years, green rooms, Shrine, Celebrity Center, Directors Guild, SAG, and I watched this in a full theater off Hollywood Blvd and Vermont Ave. When the surprise twist everyone in the audience gasped and blurted out NO! or WHAAAAAT?! or OH MY GOD!.... in complete shock

[@tylerlucas3752]

You were talking about Cole and his performance… Haley Joel Osment was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this movie.

[@nicolem376]

A couple other great movies with this phenomenal child actor (Haley Joel Osment)…”Second Hand Lions” and “A. I. Artificial Intelligence”. He also made a brief appearance in “Forrest Gump” but I won’t say the character in case you haven’t seen it yet.

[@BrianZatzke]

The moment of your realization…. Pure gold. I laughed so hard!! I’ve been waiting for it. Great reaction. I remember watching this as a teen. I was so scared. So, I recommend to rewatch and look for red. Whenever the dead are nearby, red is shown on screen. And all of Bruce’s scenes there’s red somewhere. For example the red church door in the beginning when they meet.

[@KimC657]

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that!

[@BrianZatzke]

@@KimC657 yea I remember watching someone’s video mentioning it and when I rewatched it, Oh I was like damn they really laid down clues in your face.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to an amazing film. All three of the main actors deserved Oscars for their performances. Bruce Willis, the comedy/action star nailing a serious role, Toni Colette as Cole's mom, and young Haley Joel Osment as Cole playing a role that many adult actors would find difficult to do properly. All bloody amazing. And so well set and directed too. All the scenes where Malcolm was in the room with other people, and they were staged and set like they had been interacting just a moment before, but no one but Cole ever interacted with Malcolm. Just brilliant work. And a heartbreaking tear-jerker too. Gosh, so many scenes that just ripped your guts out with sympathetic pain and sorrow. Such a devastating movie. And wonderful too.

[@michaelalfarovega9947]

Oh no... i cried again JAJAJAJAJA This movie it's such a classic and beautiful written story, i love it soo much! 💛

[@arisjatmika]

The car scene when Cole talk to his mother and reveal he has six sense is amazing ... Really break my heart too about she n her mother relation 😭😭😭

[@solbringer2483]

It’s crazy that we spend the movie hating Malcom’s wife for considering cheating, when in reality she was considering moving on

[@thecocoacouch]

It’s brilliant tho that the writing is done in such a way that draws your attention away from Malcom being dead by making you focus on a completely different possibility like his wife cheating, just to realise she’s actually finding it so difficult to move on because of how much she does love Malcom. Beautiful really.

[@bksundar]

Shyamalan referenced the fact that the mom of the dead girl had a condition ' Munchausen syndrome by proxy' Clever ...

[@shewolfsiren]

I’m not even sure that’s her real mom! She gives off wicked stepmother vibes for me

[@JCastle12495]

I definitely consider myself one of the lucky ones that saw this early and didn't see the twist coming. "Signs" and "The Others" next!

[@mollybolly8966]

The only thing I thought it was a bit odd was the bus ride to the dead girls house, you got a lot more clues and like the rest of us we didn't put them together which makes the ending a kind of doh moment. Thank you for a great reaction

[@TheMarionetteKitty]

I love seeing young people watching these movies. I do find it incredible you managed to get to your first watching without someone spoiling it for you.

[@tkaki6029]

Dude no one sees that twist coming that’s why it’s so legendary

[@bkbstone]

I don't know anyone who figured it out until the reveal. It was actually shocking.

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

One of the best twists in cinematic history ❤

[@bryanCJC2105]

I don't know anybody who figured out until the end. I was shocked! I think my jaw muscles got paralyzed because I couldn't close my mouth. Great movie, great ending. One of the best movie tickets ever. Worth every penny!

[@TotallySquirrel]

I love that you picked up on the little thing throughout the movie but without figuring it out, so you still got to be surprised by the twist at the end. Gosh this brings tears to my eyes every time! Such a great reaction!

[@angelmanuelrojasbueno2775]

Here I am, crying again with this movie... And, it's not even the movie, it's just the reaction, but it made me cry again... This movie is so GOOD... Classic!!! Actuallly the young actor was Oscar nominaded for this... Well deserved!

[@sathvamp1]

I know, right?! It's pretty rare for a movie / scene to get tears out of me, but that scene in the car with Cole and his mom did it!

[@nickstark8640]

You actually caught on sooner then most. I don’t know of anyone who figured it out before the reveal. The question that is rarely ever asked is, did Cole know the whole time that he was a ghost? Based on how he spoke to him I would say he did. As always, watching you react to these iconic films is entertaining.

[@shewolfsiren]

Well given how Malcom died, the only indication from the front would be just one teeny tiny little hole that could’ve been caused by anything. I don’t remember Malcom ever showing his back to Cole, so there’d be now way to see the bloodstain

[@jnt6239]

I thought it was obvious (on second watching) that Cole knew Malcolm was a ghost. On first seeing Malcolm, Cole fled to a church for safety. Cole does end up speaking to him but I think that's because Malcolm has a gentle approach compared to the other ghosts -- probably because he wants to help Cole vs. scare, hurt or get something from him.

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

So the kid's name is Haley Joel Osment. He's an adult now and performed in a bunch of stuff but my absolute favorite character that he has done is the voice of Sora, the main character of the game series Kingdom Hearts. He started as a kid and has performed into his adulthood

[@midnightcryptworx]

One clue that too that he was dead was that the mother never introduced bruce willis to the kid...he was just there.

[@toodlescae]

This IS probably one of the best twists in movie history. When you watch it again you can see the clues that Malcolm is dead that you missed on the first watch. That scene in the car with Cole and his mom always makes me cry. It's a superb example of fantastic acting.

[@sathvamp1]

I know, right?! It's pretty rare for a movie / scene to get tears out of me, but that scene in the car with Cole and his mom did it!

[@niles8102]

I wish there was a scene at the end where he walked out of his house and then it shows the thermostat going back to normal and then she opens her eyes and looks around and see's his ring on the ground, holds it and says goodbye to make peace with his passing.

[@davidmoser8845]

It didn’t need all of that. Malcolm said, “Everything will be different in the morning.” For me, that line was crucial. It meant that not only was he now able to move on, but that she would find solace and comfort as well, that the grief would begin to heal.

[@evacombs9720]

I saw this movie in theaters in the days before the internet was constantly accessible (dial-up). It was a surprise for most or all of the people in the theater. This type of ghost movie twist was made popular by this movie. People were not expecting it.

[@6891x]

I've seen so many people react to this and only ONE of them guessed Malcolm was dead earlier than right before (or not at all) it was revealed.

[@natysevani]

When he says" its like hes being invisible the entire movie '😂

[@jcs1025]

The one thing a lot of people miss about this movie is that it’s not only a ghost story, it’s also a love story. People always focus on the twist, but then don’t go back and reflect on all the things that she did to try to cope with her loss. Such a great movie.

[@AChickandaDuck]

I saw this in the theatre when it first came out and still remember everyone gasping when the twist was revealed. Such good storytelling, and incredible acting!

The guy in the bathroom is actor / singer Donnie Whalberg who had to loose alot of weight to to play the tormented patient who shot WILLIS .

It's certainly a fantastic film, it's certainly in my top 10 and possibly my top 5. The writing and the acting, especially the car scene with Cole and his mum, was excellent. I didn't guess the ending, which I actually think made the film even better as far as I am concerned. Thanks for the reaction.

[@sathvamp1]

That car scene with Cole and his mum "got me" (which is hard for a movie to do to me) so yeah, awesome movie.

[@GoldenChild20k]

Best twist in a movie ever, and the reveal was perfect. I remember watching this when it first came out, and twists weren’t a big thing at the time. Everyone was stunned, and it breathed so much life into the mystery/thriller/twist genre.

I figured it out when the kid was talking to his mom in the car. I was kind of disappointed it took me that long since I look for those twists since I grew up watching the Twilight Zone.

The way you just went “Oh oh! Phi-Philadelphia!” 😂😂 it’s so cute No amount of words can describe the masterpiece this movie is…. Toni Colette played Cole’s mom, and she’s a BRILLIANT actress; she was nominated for an Oscar for this role, it’s been 23 years, and she’s never been nominated again since, which is a major bummer… this movie is the definition of what a good plot twist should look like, and that car scene; “do I make her proud?” That scene and the twist are the two best scenes of the entire movie, NO DOUBT

[@5hanesBoard]

I've seen many horror movies in my life, yet this is the only movie to actually spook me, and it isn't classified as a horror.

[@bjm9071]

"They only see what they want to see" also applies to viewers of this film. I saw this movie the first day it was in the theaters and the audience was surprised by the ending. All the scenes with Malcolm and others in the room. We assumed that he was having a conversation with Cole's mom, the doctor, his wife, etc. But the only person he had interactions with was Cole. We only saw what we wanted to see.

[@rollomaughfling380]

Another subtle clue to the similarities between Vincent and Cole is that they both have Poliosis, which was once considered a sign of contact with the supernatural.
