it was pretty cool, the concensus... "this is a great movie, everyone should get the chance to experience it... so, we won't tell..." if I remember, it was a few weeks before it became common knowledge
Wasnt that hard as it came out way before the internet became a thing. Yeah it was demilitarized in 96 but definitely wasn’t even close to mainstream in 99. You needed an expensive modem connected to your phone line to get online then it took like 10 minutes for a single page to load…
Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture but lost to American Beauty It was the highest grossing Horror film of 1999, making $670 million dollars at the box office. The twist ending is one of the most shocking and must memorable in film history.
Tell you a funny story about the first time I saw this movie (WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD): I was in community college when it came out Andy female friend had already seen it and wanted me to watch it, so I went over to her house one afternoon after class. After the time jump in the beginning, I casually said "so what, is he dead the entire movie?" And without missing a beat, my friend turns to me very nonchalantly and says in an incredulous yet natural tone "No, that's stupid". And for whatever reason, I bought it completely. So when the ending finally came around, I looked at her, mouth agape, and pointed with a huge grin on my face. She laughed, proud of herself. I literally guessed the ending, but she wanted me to have a good viewing experience that she lied to my face. I am forever grateful to her for being such a solid friend. 😆
That's how people should be. You have a good Friend... I don't understand people who spoil shit. The Red Wedding was the worst. Some people are just dicks.
To answer your question at 21:00 the girl's mother suffered from a mental illness called Munchausen Syndrome which is that she either lies and says that someone else is sick (usually a child) or purposely causes that other person to be sick so that they get the sympathy and attention from it. In this case the girl's mom was poisoning the girl with floor cleaner like Pine-Sol (Fake brand used in the movie for copyright issues) in her food. If you notice the girl's mother wasn't actually grieving the death of her daughter like the dad was and the fact that she was wearing red (a common color theme used by M. Night throughout this film), she was actually enjoying this moment as if she felt accomplished. All in all, this is like one of the last good M. NIght Shyamalan films before they took a dive. Such a great film and all actors acted really well, I personally really enjoyed Cole's mother's acting in this film, I think she did a really great job in her role, everyone did great.
@@susanneandersen3417 Munchausen by proxy was the old term, now it's just "Munchausen Syndrome" and the definition covers both doing it to yourself and to others. Another name for it is "Factitious Disorder Imposed On Another" as the term "Munchausen By Proxy" is no longer in use.
@@walkinglootchest1251 Hmm. I just read a couple articles on MBPS and it's still in use, though you are correct that there's a new term that seems to be used. So, it seems there's an effort to get the new term to be used instead, but that may or may not happen. It does seem the term is in an overlap period. Maybe that's it
Then, you go back and rewatch it and realize the script works completely when seen both ways. Also, I'm from Philadelphia, and I can tell you right now that Toni Collette is the FIRST ACTOR EVER to completely nail the accent, 100%, no errors, no places at all where I sat up and thought, "Wait, that's not right." All the vowels, all the tone contours, everything. That alone blew my mind when I saw it. I've had experiences of having extremely short chats with people 5,000mi from Phila and immediately saying, "Where you from?" and knowing the answer two seconds in because I could tell they were a homegirl/boy from one stinking vowel. Collette was perfection.
That's really awesome to know she nailed the accent, thanks for that! I'm always interested because I'm from Boston, and that's another one of those accents that hardly anyone can do if they're not born and raised there.
Lmao calm down. Philly accent isn’t really a thing. You guys just want it to be so bad because everyone always talks about boston, new york, jersey accents.
@@Kevmaster2000 My mom had aphasia. It’s a shitty thing. Its bad enough that, when she got cancer, she decided to die from that, rather than have her husband & kids watch her mind deteriorate from the aphasia.
He said it! "what a twist!". Be seriously, the fact that you never knew the ending is both impressive and surprising. Better for a reaction because most movie watchers know of this movie, and you could see it in you that you've defo not seen or heard of the scene. But the scene between Cole and his mother in the car when he comes clean to her; proper punches you in the feels. Defo in my top 10, likely top 5 scenes that made me cry.
He has watched the movie before he reacted. After less than a minute, before Vincent had even spoken, he asked "is this one of his clients" How could anyone ever have known that? It is an insult to the writers who didn't want you to know that, but an even biggest insult to the people who watched his reaction. Another total fraud trying to make money out of peoples passion.
I saw this movie when it came out, and you're right it is also good on a rewatch, because then you can catch all the little hints showing that he's really dead. This movie cemented M. Night's reputation for having a twist in his movies and it got to the point where people expected a twist (and were sometimes disappointed when it wasn't good enough). This one was great, though. If you look closely they used the color red to signal dangerous or scary situations for Cole (like the red balloon and red sweater at the party where he gets locked in the closet).
Kind of ashamed to admit that the one that had to be pointed out to me is after the time jump, Malcolm only wears clothes he put on that night he got the award i.e. the sweater or the slacks and dress shirt
Great reaction! I always love watching people’s faces when they finally figure out that Dr. Crowe died from being shot in the beginning and was a ghost the whole time with Cole!
Watching you get suckered (like we all were) was fun, and watching you realize at the end all the scenes where you _assumed_ Malcolm had been talking or participating didn't happen was great. Now watch the movie again and have a completely different experience and look out for the red objects that signify supernatural activity :)
The doctor who thinks Cole's mom might be abusing him is the director, M. Night Shyamalan. He casts himself in cameos in most (all?) of his films, similar to Hitchcock.
The mother with the dead daughter suffered from Munchausen by Proxy. Getting sympathy for herself by keeping a loved one sick. It was overheard at the funeral that the younger daughter was now starting to get sick. That’s why Kira wanted Cole to save her. No one seems to catch on to the fact that the part of Victor, the troubled guy at the beginning, is played by Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids On the Block and Blue Bloods fame.
I hope you went into this without knowing THE spoiler. One of the best twists I’ve ever, not only because it’s hard to see coming and when it does it makes sense. Pun intended 😄

@@greyscalesx Well, act-u-ally... We call that Folklore, which includes the genres of urban legends, beliefs, rituals, and religious mythology under its umbrella. And as far as the real world not being a video game, bruh, "Sure, it is Greyscales X. It's all just one great big video game."
a few things; the man who shoots himself in the beginning isn't Cole. he's someone who's LIKE Cole. and the bruises, scars and scratches are from the ghosts, they can physically harm him. the ghosts are confused, stuck in limbo almost, and some of them are agitated and they're attracted to Cole because of his sixth sense.
I was spoiled on the plot twist before watching this movie so I was completely robbed of the experience. I did still enjoy the movie even though I knew what was coming.
Same. I told my boss I was going to see this after work...and she said "It's really good! There;s a twist a the end." A few seconds' reflection on the commercials gave me a pretty clear idea what the twist would be.
This was just finely crafted - he dropped hints all the way through and kept us from seeing what was right in front of us. Just incredibly well done. Good reaction, brah -
There's actually a condition I don't know if it was necessarily known at the time this movie came out but it's called munchausen's when a person pretends to be sick to get attention and there's Munchausen by proxy when somebody is caring for a child or an older family member and does something to them to keep them basically bed bound so they can keep getting attention for taking care of them there is actually a girl who ended up being a victim of this her mother was doing something to keep her in a poor condition and convinced her that she was paralyzed or some s*** and the girl ended up killing her mom to free herself of that and I think that's really the first time people knew what it was but I'm pretty sure this all happens on before that did cuz this came out right around the time I graduated high school I don't know if people really knew that was back then and you know I'm a big Golden girls fan and there was this episode where Dorothy was sick and all the doctors told her it's all in your head cuz they couldn't find anything on tests but the thing is that's because it was a fairly new condition that they didn't really have tests to confirm yet what she had was called chronic fatigue syndrome and the other girls were like you know nobody knew what the Black death was when one guy had it thousands had to die before they knew what it was
There was a few law and order episodes that show cased that disorder. I think one episode was actually about the case where the girl killed the mother for making her sick
I was 13 when I seen this in theaters, now as a 30 something adult I just found out that the crazy Guy in his underwear at the beginning is actually Donnie Wahlberg from Blue Bloods a new kids on the block… I couldn’t tell cus he lost a scary amount of weight to play that role 😳 I love this movie also born and raised outside philly I usually love M Knight Shyamalan movies
A really good film. This, Unbreakable and Split are M. Night’s best work IMO. I’m not really a fan of his later work due to the writing and dialogue for characters in those films. But I can’t deny he knows how to make creepy and atmospheric films. And while people may rightfully mock his dependency on twists, ones like here and in Split work really well
Yeah I'm not really an m night shyamalan fan but those movies are good a lot of his other stuff I may or may not have watched it just out of curiosity but I'm never really a fan of his other movies those are very good highly recommend
@@NoThoughtAllFeels glass was nowhere near as good as the other two in that trilogy I mean there was a lot in that movie that I didn't like I just don't think I will ever rewatch that movie the other two sure
"From the director of The Sixth sense, we bring you, The Last Airbender" is like saying "From the director of The Godfather, we bring you, X men origins Wolverine"
When you go back to look at this film again , notice the color red and a sudden drop in temperature. That’s when a ghost is present. M. Night Shyamalan, the Director, likes to put himself in each of his films just like Hitchcock did. He was the Doctor who questioned the mother about the marks on Cole.
I'm amazed that you didn't know about this twist. This movie is what popularised the twist at the end in movies. Fight Club and The Others followed suit.
"Hey come on ill show you where my dad keeps his gun, come on." That scene was always a crazy reference to old anti gun commercials. Yeah the mom killed her daughter with Pine Sol, which really was messed up.
I mean as far as Bruce Willis movies I I got to say some of the best in my opinion are this Armageddon and unbreakable I I mean I know there's others that are really good but those are the ones that pop into my head
The doctor talking to the Mom about the bruises and scratches on Cole was the director, M. Night Shyamalan making a cameo appearance as he often does in his own films, a bit like Tarantino.
BTW, that Indian guy in the lab coat . . . that's the director. He always gives himself little cameos, a la Alfred Hitchcock (who is a big influence on him).
First time I saw this, I never noticed that he never actually had any direct conversations with his wife or Coles mother. Shaliman rocked the house with this film!
50 first dates is an Adam Sandler Drew Barrymore movie where they're in Hawaii and she's got some brain damage where she can't retain new information overnight since her accident for over a year she's thought it was her father's birthday and her dad and brother basically play up that it is that day everyday and for that birthday she got him the tape of sixth Sense so every day they watch it and she gets the plot twist for the first time and they are no longer shocked and not even trying to fake it
That was floor cleaner going in the soup. Looked just like a Pine-Sol bottle. There have been cases of people like moms becoming obsessed with taking care of a sick person, being a caregiver. I guess if the girl started getting better the mom couldn't do it anymore so she had to keep her sick. It's called Compulsive Caregiving.
Have you seen "Frequency" with Denis Quaid and Jim Caviezel? There's a kid in it that has the nickname Gordo. You kept mentioning your patrion member and that made me think of this movie. It's in the suspense realm too. Also love your reactions and hope your channel continues doing well!
Every time you saw something red in a scene, something important was about to be revealed to you in this movie, right down to the red door knob near the end. Excellent movie!
TONI COLETTE WAS THE MOM IN THIS?😮 Wow. No wonder i have a specific connotation with her. I tend to do that with actors; one specific role will immortalize them in my mind, and it's all i see in every subsequent movie they're in. I don't know why. I did the same thing with Sarah Paulson, i realized i had freeze-framed her from the small role she played at the end of Firefly, when i first watched Bird Box. Lol When i was watching Hereditary, i had a tugging in my mind at Toni's amazing performance. It was like her frustration and anguish was familiar and it seemed to fit, and i couldn't figure out why. It was THIS movie. It created a snapshot of her face, voice, expressions, demeanor, everything, and it stayed with me my whole life. 😍😍
You definitely are one of my favorite movie reactors, this movie will stand the test of time ut was so well written and acted. My little brother hasn't seen it and he somehow has never been spoiled with the plot twist I can't wait to watch it with him. Hope you're recovering well 💓
Yeah everyone thinks when they see the movie and hear about the twist that the twist is I see dead people no Sweet Summer child that is not the twist The twist is that the guy he told the secret to is one of those people who doesn't know they're dead
Malcolm also wears the same outfit throughout the movie. Sometimes he has on the coat & sometimes the sweat shirt but he never changes his clothes from the original scene. Also the color red was used as an indicator when a ghost (including Willis) was around. Fantastic movie. Great reactions, thanks for sharing.
One of the Best movies ever, the use of colour, not everything touched by ghosts is RED. Glad to see a reaction that wasn't spoiled with all the memes "I see Dead People"
Losing family is hard. My grandpa died before I was born, mom died in 2003 when I was 19, grandma died in 2007, uncle died in 2014 and my dad died 2 months ago.
This is one of my all time favorite movies! I saw it in the theater with my now husband and the whole theater gasped at the realization that Malcom was dead the whole time! Another one like that with a twist ending is The Others with Nicole Kidman!
@@ItsAPrimatee how awesome that the natural talent to watch a movie is finally recognized. i've made a couple reaction compilations and you always hold your own head-to-head with the top reactors. your 1917 reaction was great. keep it up. 👍🏼🙂
I love this movie more since Bruce Willis announced his aphasia diagnosis. Hard to imagine him now unable to deliver lines because he's losing the ability to understand speech. Bless him to the end of his days.
Loved your reaction to this. Talking about how you expected this but then also accepted and was excited about how you got it wrong. And then talked about how it all made sense with Riis new perspective. I just subscribed. I want to watch way more of your reactions 🙂
God I love this movie so much! Another paranormal movie you might like is Ghost with Patrick Swayze. It has a different tone than this film, but I still really enjoy it. Great reaction :)
Director M. Night Shamalyan likes to be in his own movies. He's the doctor in the hospital in this movie who talks to Cole's mom. Some of his movies are good to great, others are wtf.
1. Haley Joel Osment played Forrestt Gump Jr. He absolutely KILLS this👌😎 2. I knew when he saw his wife when she was morning him alone at the anniversary meal. 3.I watched my now ex to see when she got it but she never picked it up until the reveal. 4. Cole and Malcolm actually helped each other. 5. A fun movie for review of a Bruce Willis is, "The Last Boy Scout". HINT HINT Gonna miss ya Bruce
From DVD Extras…yes DVD…if no one has mentioned it…The color Red is the bridge between the after life and the real world. I think. Bruce Willis wears the same clothes he died in. Just layered different.
Impressive that you went into this fresh! Gosh it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. I love how you can view this movie as literally as the story is, or about kids who are going through something that everyday people just don't understand. They shouldn't be bullied for that. We should all be understanding for what people are going through that we don't understand.
I think in a lot of ways this is one of the scariest movies ever made. Most horror movies don't leave you with the feeling that it was actually a great movie....this one is definitely one of the best films ever made in my opinion. And that means on some level its a lot more believable than many other movies about the paranormal. Vincent saying he knows why you feel frightened when you're alone.....Cole saying that the hairs standing up on your arm..."that's them". It is genuinely eerie and leaves you wondering if there could be someone who really did experience this!
Watched a number of these reactions and it's the first time I noticed the gun was Bruce Willis' character's. The empty holster was there amongst the broken stuff.
Another way to tell he was dead, they put the color red in the scenes with him and those alive. Like at the dinner with his wife, look for red and the door handle being red.
I bet Anna blocked that door to the basement cause she could hear all the sounds downstairs as if her husband was there after his death - papers moving, furniture, tapes etc.
20:15 One part I don’t like is how obvious and precise the mom is with the poison. If she’s been doing it awhile why read the label and why carefully measure in the cap? In front of her daughter?
Yeah. It kinda reminds me of that one joke in Emperor's New Groove when Kronk is pouring the drinks with the poison and one drink explodes but Kuzco doesn't turn around lol
Fun fact about the casting the shooter is played by Donnie Wahlberg from New kids on the block I was a new kid's fan as a kid and I did not recognize Donnie at all and he also plays a cop in the SAW films and the little boy the movie is focused on who has that secret if he looks super familiar to you that's because you're in the age range where you probably saw his little sister on TV as a Miley Stewart's best friend on Hannah Montana cuz Haley Joel osment my God he looks so much like his sister oh my God it's like she's basically him in a wig
Haley Joel osment, the little boy, was mesmer on the boys. Butcher killed him by slamming his face in the bathroom. His character being known as a child actor was based on his being known for films like this when he was a kid :) Toni Colette, the mom, was in knives out and the mom in hereditary :)
The first time I watched this movie back when it came out I assumed off the jump that he was dead because no one ever interacted with him. I assumed it was just a given I never understood why it was a plot twist lmao. I wish I could have had that experience that most people had lol.
If you do go back and watch for hints, there are several that went over most people's heads. BTW Vincent Grey is Donnie Wahlberg and M. Night Shymalan is the doctor. I this this is Shymalan's best movie. I was fortunate enough to have watched this movie for the first time in a rental video. I thought I missed something and had to rewind the video. The people who saw this at the show were probably in shock.
I saw this when it first came out. Everyone who saw it tried to keep the secret. Such a great movie-going experience.
it was pretty cool, the concensus... "this is a great movie, everyone should get the chance to experience it... so, we won't tell..." if I remember, it was a few weeks before it became common knowledge
Yes, my date and I were like 10 minutes late to the theater for this movie...we were so confused and extra surprised by the ending 😂
I saw this in the middle of the afternoon on the day it came out. I never saw it coming.
Yes this was a great shared mindset of almost everyone who saw it. No one wanted to spoil the ending. It was great!

Same. I told my boss I was going to see this after work...and she said "It's really good! There;s a twist a the end." A few seconds' reflection on the commercials gave me a pretty clear idea what the twist would be.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 My old man was less subtle. He was like: "Oh that's the movie where you find out x at the end"
20:50 "..... not necessarily poisoning, but giving her something that's killing her, right?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
define poisoning 🙂
This was just finely crafted -
he dropped hints all the way through
and kept us from seeing what was right in front of us. Just incredibly well done.
Good reaction, brah -
When I first saw this movie, I was shocked. They did an amazing job hiding the fact that he passed away.
Yeah
Me too
There's actually a condition I don't know if it was necessarily known at the time this movie came out but it's called munchausen's when a person pretends to be sick to get attention and there's Munchausen by proxy when somebody is caring for a child or an older family member and does something to them to keep them basically bed bound so they can keep getting attention for taking care of them there is actually a girl who ended up being a victim of this her mother was doing something to keep her in a poor condition and convinced her that she was paralyzed or some s*** and the girl ended up killing her mom to free herself of that and I think that's really the first time people knew what it was but I'm pretty sure this all happens on before that did cuz this came out right around the time I graduated high school I don't know if people really knew that was back then and you know I'm a big Golden girls fan and there was this episode where Dorothy was sick and all the doctors told her it's all in your head cuz they couldn't find anything on tests but the thing is that's because it was a fairly new condition that they didn't really have tests to confirm yet what she had was called chronic fatigue syndrome and the other girls were like you know nobody knew what the Black death was when one guy had it thousands had to die before they knew what it was
There was a few law and order episodes that show cased that disorder. I think one episode was actually about the case where the girl killed the mother for making her sick
Theres a reason why this movie was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar...one of the best
The Village is cool movie from M.N.S too. It's not as well critically acclaimed, but I liked it.
I’m so happy you’re reacting to this. It’s one of my favorite movies and twists EVER
I was 13 when I seen this in theaters, now as a 30 something adult I just found out that the crazy Guy in his underwear at the beginning is actually Donnie Wahlberg from Blue Bloods a new kids on the block… I couldn’t tell cus he lost a scary amount of weight to play that role 😳 I love this movie also born and raised outside philly I usually love M Knight Shyamalan movies
A really good film. This, Unbreakable and Split are M. Night’s best work IMO. I’m not really a fan of his later work due to the writing and dialogue for characters in those films. But I can’t deny he knows how to make creepy and atmospheric films. And while people may rightfully mock his dependency on twists, ones like here and in Split work really well
Yeah I'm not really an m night shyamalan fan but those movies are good a lot of his other stuff I may or may not have watched it just out of curiosity but I'm never really a fan of his other movies those are very good highly recommend
Unbreakable and Split are great. Glass however…
@@NoThoughtAllFeels glass was nowhere near as good as the other two in that trilogy I mean there was a lot in that movie that I didn't like I just don't think I will ever rewatch that movie the other two sure
"From the director of The Sixth sense, we bring you, The Last Airbender" is like saying
"From the director of The Godfather, we bring you, X men origins Wolverine"
Why you gotta disrespect wolverine like that 😂
Francis Ford Coppola also directed the musical *Finian's Rainbow* (1968), starring Fred Astaire and Petula Clark.
When you go back to look at this film again , notice the color red and a sudden drop in temperature. That’s when a ghost is present.
M. Night Shyamalan, the Director, likes to put himself in each of his films just like Hitchcock did. He was the Doctor who questioned the mother about the marks on Cole.
Mate I've watched this several times and even though I know what's coming I always lose it at the car scene, awesome acting.
That scene ALWAYS makes me cry.
Oh man, I love it when they’re surprised like we were back then! 👏👏👏
I'm amazed that you didn't know about this twist. This movie is what popularised the twist at the end in movies. Fight Club and The Others followed suit.
"Hey come on ill show you where my dad keeps his gun, come on." That scene was always a crazy reference to old anti gun commercials. Yeah the mom killed her daughter with Pine Sol, which really was messed up.
Yeah... exactly... this is the movie you have to watch at least twice to catch every amazing detail. Do it! :D
So interesting to see people watching this for the first time and not realising Bruce is dead
This movie is a masterpiece honestly.
One of The greatest Bruce movies. Imo is top 10
I mean as far as Bruce Willis movies I I got to say some of the best in my opinion are this Armageddon and unbreakable I I mean I know there's others that are really good but those are the ones that pop into my head
The doctor talking to the Mom about the bruises and scratches on Cole was the director, M. Night Shyamalan making a cameo appearance as he often does in his own films, a bit like Tarantino.
BTW, that Indian guy in the lab coat . . . that's the director. He always gives himself little cameos, a la Alfred Hitchcock (who is a big influence on him).
Man it was refreshing to see someone react so shocked at the twist lol, it’s been years since I’ve seen a true reaction, so thanks ❤️
First time I saw this, I never noticed that he never actually had any direct conversations with his wife or Coles mother. Shaliman rocked the house with this film!
If you look back, you'll realize that no one but Cole and his wife at the end even interact with him.
24:06 you should cry dude, that's an emotional moment. 😢 she just found out that she makes her mom proud.
50 first dates is an Adam Sandler Drew Barrymore movie where they're in Hawaii and she's got some brain damage where she can't retain new information overnight since her accident for over a year she's thought it was her father's birthday and her dad and brother basically play up that it is that day everyday and for that birthday she got him the tape of sixth Sense so every day they watch it and she gets the plot twist for the first time and they are no longer shocked and not even trying to fake it
That was floor cleaner going in the soup. Looked just like a Pine-Sol bottle. There have been cases of people like moms becoming obsessed with taking care of a sick person, being a caregiver. I guess if the girl started getting better the mom couldn't do it anymore so she had to keep her sick. It's called Compulsive Caregiving.
Have you seen "Frequency" with Denis Quaid and Jim Caviezel? There's a kid in it that has the nickname Gordo. You kept mentioning your patrion member and that made me think of this movie. It's in the suspense realm too.
Also love your reactions and hope your channel continues doing well!
After seeing this movie it was my favorite for a while. I love a great twist, and this one was one that I didn't see coming. Such a great film.
Every time you saw something red in a scene, something important was about to be revealed to you in this movie, right down to the red door knob near the end. Excellent movie!
TONI COLETTE WAS THE MOM IN THIS?😮
Wow. No wonder i have a specific connotation with her. I tend to do that with actors; one specific role will immortalize them in my mind, and it's all i see in every subsequent movie they're in. I don't know why. I did the same thing with Sarah Paulson, i realized i had freeze-framed her from the small role she played at the end of Firefly, when i first watched Bird Box. Lol
When i was watching Hereditary, i had a tugging in my mind at Toni's amazing performance. It was like her frustration and anguish was familiar and it seemed to fit, and i couldn't figure out why.
It was THIS movie. It created a snapshot of her face, voice, expressions, demeanor, everything, and it stayed with me my whole life. 😍😍
25:10 love the facial expression when the penny drops!!
You definitely are one of my favorite movie reactors, this movie will stand the test of time ut was so well written and acted. My little brother hasn't seen it and he somehow has never been spoiled with the plot twist I can't wait to watch it with him. Hope you're recovering well 💓
Yeah everyone thinks when they see the movie and hear about the twist that the twist is I see dead people no Sweet Summer child that is not the twist The twist is that the guy he told the secret to is one of those people who doesn't know they're dead
The doctor who was accusing the mother of hurting her child is the writer and director of the movie. He just made a little cameo appearance. lol
Haley Joel Osment competed for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award against Michael Clark Duncan (Green Mile the same year) and they both lost.
16:31 "chili chese fries sound bomb right now bro, i'm going have to put on my walking shoes after this." 😆🤗
This movie made Haley joel osment one of the youngest oscar nominees ever
The teacher had to have known the history of the building right? I get why he wouldn’t tell the kids, but he had to know.
Always kinda bummed i knew the twist before watching this, so its great to live a blind viewing through this king!
He is only on screen for like 5 minutes, but this is Donnie Wahlberg's best performance ever.
Malcolm also wears the same outfit throughout the movie. Sometimes he has on the coat & sometimes the sweat shirt but he never changes his clothes from the original scene. Also the color red was used as an indicator when a ghost (including Willis) was around. Fantastic movie. Great reactions, thanks for sharing.
WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD...
One of the Best movies ever, the use of colour, not everything touched by ghosts is RED.
Glad to see a reaction that wasn't spoiled with all the memes "I see Dead People"
Another thing most people miss. When they stuff cole in the closet at the top of the stairs...he was screaming "don't kill me".
This is my second favorite film of all time after Titanic. I love this movie sooooo much!
Losing family is hard. My grandpa died before I was born, mom died in 2003 when I was 19, grandma died in 2007, uncle died in 2014 and my dad died 2 months ago.
Watch it again and pay attention to the color red
This is one of my all time favorite movies! I saw it in the theater with my now husband and the whole theater gasped at the realization that Malcom was dead the whole time! Another one like that with a twist ending is The Others with Nicole Kidman!
25:06 great reaction to the twist mr primate, one of the top five on youtube. arguably the BEST.
well done 👍🏼🎭
Thanks!
@@ItsAPrimatee how awesome that the natural talent to watch a movie is finally recognized. i've made a couple reaction compilations and you always hold your own head-to-head with the top reactors. your 1917 reaction was great. keep it up. 👍🏼🙂
I love this movie more since Bruce Willis announced his aphasia diagnosis. Hard to imagine him now unable to deliver lines because he's losing the ability to understand speech. Bless him to the end of his days.
The kid that played Cole has been voicing Sora from Kingdom Hearts for like 20 years.
12:23 That quote is from scary movie also lol when shawty goes "I see dead people" while high 😂
Love it when folks don’t figure it out till the end. Thanks for the great reaction!
My horror movie reactions are usually pretty popular. Probably because both horror movies I've reacted too, I've been a fan of
Loved your reaction to this. Talking about how you expected this but then also accepted and was excited about how you got it wrong. And then talked about how it all made sense with Riis new perspective.
I just subscribed. I want to watch way more of your reactions 🙂
Thanks!
15:07 lol the way she explained that was because that was _her_ ring.
Please watch Unbreakable. It’s one of my favorite realistic comic book films
Also I love watching peoples first time reaction to this movie, I could see it on the your face the second it clicked for you about Bruce Willis😂
God I love this movie so much! Another paranormal movie you might like is Ghost with Patrick Swayze. It has a different tone than this film, but I still really enjoy it. Great reaction :)
Director M. Night Shamalyan likes to be in his own movies. He's the doctor in the hospital in this movie who talks to Cole's mom. Some of his movies are good to great, others are wtf.
I love this movie it's one of my favorites Tony Collette is slowly becoming one of my favorite actresses she's incredible
1. Haley Joel Osment played Forrestt Gump Jr. He absolutely KILLS this👌😎
2. I knew when he saw his wife when she was morning him alone at the anniversary meal.
3.I watched my now ex to see when she got it but she never picked it up until the reveal.
4. Cole and Malcolm actually helped each other.
5. A fun movie for review of a Bruce Willis is, "The Last Boy Scout". HINT HINT
Gonna miss ya Bruce
From DVD Extras…yes DVD…if no one has mentioned it…The color Red is the bridge between the after life and the real world. I think. Bruce Willis wears the same clothes he died in. Just layered different.
Impressive that you went into this fresh!
Gosh it's still one of my favorite movies of all time.
I love how you can view this movie as literally as the story is, or about kids who are going through something that everyday people just don't understand. They shouldn't be bullied for that. We should all be understanding for what people are going through that we don't understand.
12:27
_pulls out a crack pipe_
"Yo, this thing is the ssshiit!" 🤣
The doctor who implied the boy was being hurt, that’s the director
I watched this for the first time like 2 years ago and i did not expect that twist. So happy it was never spoiled for me
Watch it a second time knowing the twist and you'll be like oh damn look at all these clues lol.
I think in a lot of ways this is one of the scariest movies ever made. Most horror movies don't leave you with the feeling that it was actually a great movie....this one is definitely one of the best films ever made in my opinion. And that means on some level its a lot more believable than many other movies about the paranormal. Vincent saying he knows why you feel frightened when you're alone.....Cole saying that the hairs standing up on your arm..."that's them". It is genuinely eerie and leaves you wondering if there could be someone who really did experience this!
Watched a number of these reactions and it's the first time I noticed the gun was Bruce Willis' character's. The empty holster was there amongst the broken stuff.
Another way to tell he was dead, they put the color red in the scenes with him and those alive. Like at the dinner with his wife, look for red and the door handle being red.
I bet Anna blocked that door to the basement cause she could hear all the sounds downstairs as if her husband was there after his death - papers moving, furniture, tapes etc.
The marks on the kid were from the spirits. The scars show hes been dealing w this for a long time.
The most unfortunate thing is after you see this twist for the first time you’ll never be able to again.
20:15 One part I don’t like is how obvious and precise the mom is with the poison. If she’s been doing it awhile why read the label and why carefully measure in the cap? In front of her daughter?
Yeah. It kinda reminds me of that one joke in Emperor's New Groove when Kronk is pouring the drinks with the poison and one drink explodes but Kuzco doesn't turn around lol
Brother, I recommend that you see The Village and Signs
being the 800th like is very satisfying
Fun fact about the casting the shooter is played by Donnie Wahlberg from New kids on the block I was a new kid's fan as a kid and I did not recognize Donnie at all and he also plays a cop in the SAW films and the little boy the movie is focused on who has that secret if he looks super familiar to you that's because you're in the age range where you probably saw his little sister on TV as a Miley Stewart's best friend on Hannah Montana cuz Haley Joel osment my God he looks so much like his sister oh my God it's like she's basically him in a wig
Haley Joel osment, the little boy, was mesmer on the boys. Butcher killed him by slamming his face in the bathroom. His character being known as a child actor was based on his being known for films like this when he was a kid :)
Toni Colette, the mom, was in knives out and the mom in hereditary :)
The first time I watched this movie back when it came out I assumed off the jump that he was dead because no one ever interacted with him. I assumed it was just a given I never understood why it was a plot twist lmao. I wish I could have had that experience that most people had lol.
If you do go back and watch for hints, there are several that went over most people's heads. BTW Vincent Grey is Donnie Wahlberg and M. Night Shymalan is the doctor. I this this is Shymalan's best movie. I was fortunate enough to have watched this movie for the first time in a rental video. I thought I missed something and had to rewind the video. The people who saw this at the show were probably in shock.
