Signs is a beautiful film. One of my favorites. What is it about? Aliens? No. It's about man's eternal struggle with the mystery of his maker and our predilection to judge too quickly the events that take place in our lives. The despair when we feel our trust has been betrayed and the union of families before tragedy. A work of art.

Felt like you cut the interview short, but I really enjoyed it.

I think Signs is when he is at peak. That subtle feeling of mystery and danger in a very comfortable environment. It works on many levels. I think that is why it is profound
