https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DdhpLeImXA The Movie: M. Night Shyamalan didnt invent the shocking twist with The Sixth Sense, but he damn near pioneered it as a marketing technique and selling point for motion pictures in general. The film's now familiar premise deals with a young boy who claims to see ghosts and the psychologist, Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis), determined to help him. The Ending: The irony of the entire story is that in helping this young boy find out his duty to the ghosts (which, when you think about it, seems a remarkably odd thing to put on a child), Crowe finds out that hes, in fact, a ghost as well. If you watch the behind-the-scenes for the film, they point out the clues that Shyamalan used to indicate which characters were alive or dead: selective use of the color red; Crowes clothes; scenes where Crowe is in the frame with living people but does not interact with them, and its like a slap in the face. But that doesnt mean that it didnt initially blow your mind when you realized that Crowe was dead for the entire film.
