I had a blast at college day but as soon as I got home I finished watching sixth sense. I have to say that I get chills every time Cole says "I see dead people" I think that Haley Joel Osment's acting was just phenomenal in this movie, I mean he is such a little kid who it pulling off a super complex roll basically flawlessly. I happen to be a big fan of M. Night Shamalyn's work with a few exceptions but I think this is one of his best projects! The twist at the end is so brilliantly done and I don't think that most people were able to catch on their first time watching it.
Cole shows symptoms of abuse and mental illness but in reality he is just gifted or in his opinion cursed. He can see dead people who don't fully understand that they are dead. These people have a lot of unresolved feelings and can be somewhat scary. Cole ends up using his gift to help a little girl named Kyra who is being poisoned by her stepmother.
***Spoilers****
In the end Malcolm realizes that his wife is not just ignoring him but is suffering depression of his death. He comes to understand that he was one of the dead people who didn't know he was dead!!! Malcolm was in fact killed by Vincent the night of the break in and has been around ever since. It is so cool how the viewer doesn't know he is dead anymore than he himself does. Every sense implies his wife is just mad about how he has changed or forgetting their anniversary or something like that. The only words she says are too herself but they could also seem like she was speaking to him.
