1999 - August 2 in the U.S. on wide screens comes a new stunning mystical drama with Bruce Willis in the title role. And hardly anyone could have expected that the movie would not only receive forest reviews from movie critics and manage to collect a colossal for its genre audience box office, almost breaking the bar of $ 300 million, but also that the film M. Night Shyamalan will be nominated for an Oscar in six nominations.
In a matter of days 'The Sixth Sense' became a real discovery of the year in the world cinema. Every movie buff at the time put the hard-to-remember name of M. Night Shyamalan in his 'white' list of Hollywood directors. It was a real Bombshell that stirred the minds of mankind and the 'Highest Box Office Movies' hit lists.
The year 2000 - the movie manages to consolidate its mind-blowing success on the wide screen with its release on home video, becoming the most sought-after movie among some 80 million viewers.
And only nowadays we can realize that on August 2, 1999 the real Revolution in the genre of fears and phobias took place. And many will agree with me that no thriller or horror film after 'The Sixth Sense' has managed to create its own unique atmosphere, which the viewer could feel and even, perhaps, touch it....
And after another viewing, I ask myself the same questions: Why am I afraid? Why every time I can't... understand? Why do I look at these images, when I know they are just the fiction of a brilliant, paranoid director? Why do I want to touch that sixth and unique feeling, the feeling of animal fear?
I don't know, but I can only answer one thing: Very often it happens that I want to recreate that feeling when I first entered the world of fear.... And this feeling, I don't know how it is for anyone, cannot be replaced for me by any modern supernavorovanny horror movie. And even, it seems to me, that such a feeling will not give me any more movie. Sometimes, when watching it again for a few moments, you manage to feel it, but you can't keep it.... And for this feeling I am ready to pay dearly.
Certainly a Word in its Genre. Undoubtedly, the Movie is not for everyone, but the Movie is a Masterpiece in everything....
