M. Night Shyamalan is best known among moviegoers now as a maker of high-concept, trashy genre thrillers, but his reputation has evolved quite a lot throughout his career.
For a long time, he was seen as a gimmicky filmmaker — one who relied too much on the kind of third-act, eye-opening twists that had become the biggest talking points of his earliest movies. Viewers began to see him as a one-trick pony and — due to the failures of The Happening, The Last Airbender, and After Earth — not even a particularly good one.
Keep it simple and make it good The Sixth Sense‘s plot is deceptively simple. It follows Malcolm Crowe , a child psychologist, as he begins to work with a new patient, Cole Sear , a nine-year-old boy living with his single mother, Lynn . Cole eventually confides in Malcolm that he has the ability to see the ghosts of the dead people who walk secretly among the living.
The Sixth Sense 1999 -"They Don't Know They're Dead" End Scene However, Shyamalan’s best flourish remains his cut from a close-up of Willis’ concerned face over seeing Anna drop his wedding ring to a shot of Anna’s ring still on her hand, followed by a focus pull that comes when Malcolm’s ringless hand enters the foreground of the frame.
This scene, heartbreakingly performed by Osment and Collette, also features one of The Sixth Sense‘s best jump scares when Shyamalan suddenly cuts wide to show the bloody ghost of the dead bicyclist that Cole is telling Lynn about standing emotionless right outside his car window. For this reason, Lynn and Cole’s final scene together is one of the best examples of why The Sixth Sense works as well as it does.
