Mood And Presences In The Sixth Sense

The director M. Night Shyamalan used different methods to construct and format the theme of the film, “The Sixth Sense”. He uses foreshadowing, symbolism and motif to help the viewer understand the movie and see that it is more than what you first perceive. In “The Sixth Sense” a boy named Cole Sear has a sixth sense that is haunting him at the beginning of the movie. He sees things that other people can’t see. He can also hear things that other people can’t. He can see ghosts, among people as if living like nothing ever happened. A Doctor named Dr. Malcolm Crowe tries to help Cole with his “problem” until he realizes that Cole is very much like one of his other patients, Vincent Grey, who was a boy that had the exact same symptoms. Ultimately the director uses foreshadowing, symbolism and motif to construct the theme of communication within the film.

After recently watching The Sixth Sense I realized that there is a great use of devices in the film. The Sixth Sense is about a child psychologist Dr. Malcolm, who tries to help a child defeat his dark secret. I think this movie is a prime example of using literary devices such as, foreshadowing and symbolism within the script. I really enjoyed this film for these reasons and would recommend it everyone. There are many instances in which these devices are used in the film, some are much more noticeable than the others. This movie has a really high replay value because, you always notice something new in regards to symbolism. Also the other view points that you can see the story after knowing what happens in the dramatic ending. The many uses

The film starts by the two detectives arriving by boat accompanied by dark creepy clouds and terrible weather which leads to hurricane type winds and stormy rain through the film. This helps contribute to the already eerie and dark environment of the mental hospital/institution. The dull grey lighting of the sky with the dramatic rocking of the boat and loud fog horns puts you on edge from the get go. From the very beginning, it is apparent something strange is taking place on Shutter Island and the director leaves the audience to gain the experience of watching everything unfold.

The Sixth Sense is a haunting thriller about a praised child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe, who is recently troubled about the suicide of an old, ‘failed’ patient named Vincent Grey. His life goes downhill from this moment on, especially when he notices the lack of communication between him and his wife and the arousing suspicions that she may be cheating on him. Mentally defeated, Crowe moves on to his next patient, Cole Sear. The young boy’s case is virtually identical to that of his failed patient, but Crowe’s motivation only increases and he becomes determined to help Cole in any he can. He begins with being very professional with Cole, but he eventually connects with him in a way that leads Cole to trust him.

To illustrate, director often uses red details in scenes to symbolise danger, small things such as a scarf on Dr Sattler’s neck in the beginning of the film. These tiny details indicated the audience about danger and builds a fearful mood. In addition, the weight of the evidence suggest that, colours and lights can make any situation appealing and horrifying.

In the film The Sixth Sense, Dr. Malcolm Crowe is a well renowned and awarded child psychologist. After celebrating his newest award with a few drinks accompanied by his wife, they are unexpectedly greeted in their upstairs bathroom by a former patient of Dr. Crowe’s, Vincent Grey. Grey accuses Dr. Crowe of “ failing him” and then proceeds to shoot Dr. Crowe in the stomach, and then follows with another bullet to his own head.

Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Vertigo has captivated audiences since its release in 1958. The movie follows detective Scotty who realizes he has severe acrophobia and experiences terrifying vertigo when he is unable to catch a fellow colleague as he falls off the roof of a building while pursuing a criminal. Scotty quits the police force and is hired by an old college friend to investigate the strange activities of his wife, Madeline, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. This storyline has twists and turns that it seems only Hitchcock would be able to create in the almost perfect mystery. However, when looking at the fine details of the movie it is clear to see there is an underlying theme being portrayed throughout the film.

4.2.4 Openings, Closings, and Patterns of Development Films don’t just start and stop – they begin and end. A narrative’s use of causality, time, and space usually involves a change from an initial situation to a final situation. A film’s beginning provokes expectations and our search for causal motivations by setting-up a specific range of possible causes and effects (Harrington, 2016). The portion of the plot that lays out important story events and character traits in the opening situation is called the exposition. Most patterns of development depend on how causes and effects create a change in a character’s situation.

In the film ‘Sixth Sense’, directed by M. Night Shyamalan there are various aspects used in the final scene to express the theme of communication (relationship) and the supernatural. Four aspects are Voice-over, Music, 2 Shot and Flashback.
