@DaveTheBluesMan16 seriously....everyone i know said this movie sucked....i was like....uhhh.....first time i was ever renedered speechless i thought this movie was just simply amazing. storywise, the chemistry of the actors, the weird cast of people all living in that place...i have one friend who loved it as much as me..
And I thought I was the only one who sees the absolute brilliance in this film. Thank God for your comments, they make me feel like I'm among my people here.
i love this movie and most of the people who criticized shyamlan for this movie are pro skeptics .Its amazing simple and beautiful .I am searching the part where she predicts about the future us president. pls help
its funny because i saw this movie when i was sixteen and didnt respond very well to it other than knowing it was well made but having watched it again recently im in love with the essence of the story and these last five minutes are the true spirit of the whole movie. Critics can say whatever bad things they want but you cant buy "pathos" when it comes to script writing unless it is genuine and his movies are nothing short of.
I think a big reason this movie wasn't as appreciated as it should've is because nowadays, most people want movies to have a hot romance, action, or lots of comedy. This had none of that, though I think adding any of that would have ruined the point of the movie. Personally, I loved it because it was very deep and all in all just a very beautiful movie
I just love the music when Giamatti realises that Reggie is the Guardian...really lifts me up and just brings hope to my heart. This is one amazing movie, making you feel the need to believe in something that's bigger then us and that we can't proove, but we all know is there sumhow (whatever force/God/aliens are out there). James Newton Howard really delivers with this soundtrack!
PIECE OF SHIT fuck this gay ass movie. shyamalan is a failure at life besides the sixth sense and likes to fuck the non realistic wolf things in this piece of shit movie
Yeah, of course, If you went by "non realistic animations," then you'd basically have to discount 100 years of filmmaking. Roger Corman, David Lynch, Takshii Mike, Jan Svankmajer, the Shaw Brothers, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Brian Singer, even Christopher Nolan all rely on "Non realistic looking animations." I'm sorry, but that's just the nature of films. Seems like you are the "dumbass."
@444Conrad Of course it's non-realistic, it's a movie. Everyone liked avatar, it's not like THAT was any more real than this. It's a little stupid to say a movie is unrealistic, movies aren't about being realistic, they're about entertainment.
So, wait...you're telling me that this film (which is full of magic, unique ideas, beautiful music and imagery, and great things to say about humans and our purpose is this world) is disliked by most people, but Avatar (AKA the alien mutant child of Pocahontas and FernGully) is considered a masterpiece?! ....wow, that is messed up.
So do I. I saw this movie for the first time when I was going through a very sad and difficult time in my life. It helped m remember that all we have to do is keep believeing and magical things can and DO happen. I still watch this when I need to be reminded of that fact.
@moviedude1500 The reason why the critics thought it was prepsterous and dumb was because it was made in a unique way. Shyamalan is a visionary. This film works and is one of his best films. The ending really tied the whole film together. Great acting, great storytelling, visual effects off the chart, need I say more?
From a Christian perspective this movie says to me that there are many things that people today say are not real but they are. A risen Christ? A Jesus who walked on water? Really? The Bible proclaims these things to be true. John the Apostle said in 1 John that they saw him with their eyes, touched him with their hands, and proclaim to people the Word of Life who is Jesus.
Such a beautiful movie, it's a shame that it didn't get better ratings. Goes to show you that tons of inappropriate situations and violence do not a great movie make.
The scene with Reggie coming out of the mist is probably one of the best scenes in recent film history. Right next to Aragorn charging the gates of Mordor.
this movie reminds me of donnie darko because of the specfic roles people have to play. For instance in this you have the guardian, the healer etc. In donnie you get the living reciever, manipulated dead and manipulated living.
Part of the reason that Shyamalan is not appreciated for his recent films is that he has a genius for telling a story--visually, audibly and in words---and that does not rest well with the current shallow population of most of the world.
@cmc10101 agreed, completely agreed. He is well ahead or apart from our time and he inspires my work so much. All the best extraordinary artists of the world were hardly appreciated while they lived, and I hope in the future we come to realize his brilliant methods
@JTeamjesters Kubrick wasn't appreciated much in his time either.
I agree with you though. Some of Shyamalan's films are way ahead of their time. Unbreakable was another one of those films. He wanted to show what a superhero would be like in the real world and make it as realistic as possible. Now, almost every superhero movie tries to make their films as realistic as possible.
I even thought The Last Airbender was alright. Granted, I didn't think it was his best film but I still liked it.
@cmc10101 I agree with you 110 percent! I thought this film was amazing! It was beautiful, imaginative, extremly original and even poked fun at the cliche' Hollywood style of filmmaking. Shyamalan is a visionary.
This is probably my favorite scene in the movie, but I thought the whole thing was absolutely wonderful. The directing is fabulous, and the cinematography is perfect. I especially love the clip where you see half of the dog. And on top of all that, Brice Dallas Howard and Paul Giamatti's acting are great. The music sends shivers up my spine everytime I hear it.
Weeaaahhh... i have afraid of these dogs....Òó...but the szene is great where Reggie standing after mr heep and is looking into the beast's eyes and let the dish falling down...lol xD
I was so angry after this movie, because the premise of the story is great and the movie could have just been done so much better. I love the ending thoug with the The Great Eatlon, a big sacred eagle, so simple but so MAGICAL.
Yes, great shot and it was consistent with the script: Story says that only she can see the Eatlon. Unfortunately this rule is broken later in the aerial shot.
I love when she is taken by the great Ealton, and leaves everyone with heart in hand!! music goes awesome with it! love this movie and love the guardian haha, wonderful moment in the movie XD,Shyamalan and Newton Howard together just MAGIC!!!
i took it as meanin that no matter how insignificant we all might think we are, we are all a part of something that we might not even know of, and that each of us has a role to play in life and that we are right where were supposed to be. stop trying so hard to fit in or find your place but to just stop and listen and let the world show you what ur purpose is. it is a fairy tale, so its supposed to be kinda far fetched but it has very real human tones in it. I thought it was a magical movie
@No1ZmeskalFan The downside was that I was expecting a thriller, as it was classified as "Thriller" or so the box said so. So I was kinda...surprised.
@No1ZmeskalFan I think of it in terms of great men who have lived. You know that in their lineage they had some real rascals and lazy no good people. Yet those no good people who made nothing of themselves were part of creating a great man or woman.
I loved this movie. I was just so mad I couldn't really see the creatures ya know. Honestly that was the main reason watched it. Then I heard them mention a giant eagle and I was like HELL YEA!! But alas, it was either too dark, or muffled or rainy or...*sniff* :( v_v
I have a question - keep in mind I've only seen this movie once so I may have missed something, but why didn't the monkey creatures attack the wolf before?? Where were they the whole time he was running amok!?
he was supposed to be a "rogue" scrunt who would chance them attacking because she was a leader of the narfs....I think they werent there because all of the things hadnt lined up correctly. One of the main themes in the movie is that you will know when things are right because all things will fall into place....that was her time to leave because she had accomplished everything and all the characthers had learned their place and so the monkeys were gonna make damn sure she got to leave that time
He knows that a many things cannot be answered while mainstream media is watching and reporting, it would upset the balance of this present day life, But look at what he looks at, some things cannot be made up, how did he know this? Like avatar the movie, he has seen this, but you have not!!!!!
One thing i've learned about the white man, if u study his movies then you will learn about what he knows, he gives u truth via fiction, this has been his way since the dark side of Star Wars, he yearns to tell u a story, but not outright, check the hollywood heavyweights, Spielberg, and the others, this is truth hidden by way of box office programming. Truth is given in Jest, Research the unbelievable and you will have a many questions answered, This is how he tells u without telling You.
I loved this movie. The only reason I watched it is was because i've been steady listening to the soundtrack (which is just mind blowing. I love you JNH) for like two years. I just decided i'd better watch the movie.
The story is good and the characters are great, there's just something off about it. I don't know what it is though. I guess the way it was told. I can understand why people don't like it. If he could do it over again I bet Night would do a lot of things differently.
It's because they can see through it. I understand you, I love it too but I cannot contend with the people who hate it because they're absolutely right.
I consider this film a very well rounded guilty pleasure of mine.
There are other things too; like the bile shown towards the film critic character - which was totally uncalled for as it was the film critics who praised him in the beginning - He suggests himself to be this suffering artist, who is misunderstood by evil people.
So his film ended up with this incredibly self righteous heart that just completely over shadowed everything good about the film (and rightly so because it all came from a bad place anyway). He's a great storyteller, he just needs to redirect his energy, put it back into the place it was with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
Having said that, I could barely hold it together the first time I saw this.
Don't you find it funny how the neverending story was made well over 20 years before this and the wolf in that movie looks more realistic and scary than the wolf in this?

This movie is on such LCD its ridiculous, it's like the movie literally rolled a blunt and laced it with acid then snorted 2 lines of coke and finally took a shot of tequila. Did it all work out in the end... not so much. This movie sucked, plain and simple.
Such an amazing scene - really, the only thing I would have changed would have been to not have Paul's character shout out 'Reggie', so as to make the reveal to who the Guardian is have a bigger impact. My favorite shot of the entire movie has to be 2:35 - incredible.
All of his films always have that one scene just is just so incredible and distinct, it always stands out - and they always happen at the end. :) Unbreakable: 'orange man' scene. Signs: final confrontation with the alien, etc.
I thought the same thing too about revealing the gaurdian if you skip 2:15 - 2:20 it looks better, and I like the shot at 2:40 more cause Reggie's actually in it.
The ending to this movie was absolutely perfect. The way he has the underwater shot when the eagle thing comes in is brilliant and the music in the final moments just gives me goosebumps. Say what you will about the rest of this film or his other movies for that matter, but this scene is film making at its best.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's impossible to break the door like the wolf broke... ridiculous! It opens for inside... if you think is possible, try to do it at your home... lol!!!!
It's not a wolf. It's a scrunt. A fictional uber villain. That's why it's a fictional story and not a documentary. Maybe you could try watching the whole movie with an open, imaginative and creative mind? You'd enjoy it better, ya troll.
Ohhhh! Is this fiction? Really??? I thought it happened in the "real life", somewhere in Kansas, or Houston... "American Werewolf in London" has a better plot... much better!!!! That's why it s a classic and this one is rubish... if I have to be creative to understand the movies that I watch, maybe is better to be a Director and write my own histories...
It's fantastic the way people answer about things... they don't argue about the ideas or something like this... just write down a personal offense! My best wishes for you all in 2009! And I really hope that the Cinema Industry release good films... for you, like this, for me, like others!
I was confused by that part too... And by the way, Recommend me some movies, just for know (I love The Hours but always there are "buts"... Sorry my english, I´m learning).
I agree. You can't push on a door and have it break inwards towards you. Yes, this is a fictional fantasy film, but the key to making people believe in a movie is to make sure it stays within the realm of believability.
geez relax, every movie has its flaws. it's JUST a movie
if you keep noticing the tiny details and compare it to 'reality' then stick to watching The National Geographic.
CSI couldn't REALLY solve cases in 24 hours now could they? If they want to stick to reality, investigations take MONTHS not DAYS, what do you say to that?
this scene was awesome, i loved it and the scene where she tells him of the boy who would read his book and the writers fate was absolutely beutiful. great job sham..
Not sure if i'd like the movie, though it does appear to be something interesting and neat to watch... What I really want is to have a better view of the awesome grass wolf. =D
The movie is amazing..like all movies from shayamalan (signs, the sixt sense,the happening.. ect) in this movie the actors (characters)are much important.. they all great and speacial. I can look this movie 100 times ^^ *greetings*
I really like this movie a lot. M. Night has a knack at capturing a moment of raw and beautiful human emotion, and translating it into awe inspiring combinations of cinematography, character manipulation, and soundtrack. The final scenes with Mr. Heap and Story saying their goodbyes in the rain, and where the eagle takes her away as we, the audience, views the moment looking through the water, is absolutely breathtaking in my opinion.
damn shyamalan is seriously lackin any talent all his movies are so formulaic, no matter how much he tries to get us to see theyre so unique. the ending totally plays out like signs, its ridiculous. its natural to be influenced by other movies when making one, but not so good when the only movies influencing you are your past efforts LOL
The excuses are "its too weird,stupid,its a bad movie,Then tell me what was bad about it? The Plot? (you mean the plot with the deep message that is put together with Good Actors, superb screen play and a wonderful musical score?)His movies are pieces of art. Its beautiful. Look up M nights interviews on Youtube and hear him comment about his movie yourself
Heres an idea... if you dont like the movie you could always i didnt like it.. not "it was a bad movie" that is your opinion not a fact.
wow look up the directors own interview of his own movie he will say its good. of course he will say its good the reason this movie got bad reviews is because the director made himself the changer of the world which denotes a big ego. thats why.
Paul Giamatti, you are one hell of an actor.

Shyamalan's greatest flaw is not a flaw. It is simply that he has told stories, such as this, without the haze of cynicism that engulfs us.
This is one of my favorite movies, and it is so in great part because it is utterly without and does not play to this cynicism.
Surely, the telling of the tale resembles the necessity to be "like a child" before more of the old story would be revealed.

I have a question - keep in mind I've only seen this movie once so I may have missed something, but why didn't the monkey creatures attack the wolf before?? Where were they the whole time he was running amok!?
thrice3muses 2 years ago
he was supposed to be a "rogue" scrunt who would chance them attacking because she was a leader of the narfs....I think they werent there because all of the things hadnt lined up correctly. One of the main themes in the movie is that you will know when things are right because all things will fall into place....that was her time to leave because she had accomplished everything and all the characthers had learned their place and so the monkeys were gonna make damn sure she got to leave that time

He knows that a many things cannot be answered while mainstream media is watching and reporting, it would upset the balance of this present day life, But look at what he looks at, some things cannot be made up, how did he know this? Like avatar the movie, he has seen this, but you have not!!!!!

One thing i've learned about the white man, if u study his movies then you will learn about what he knows, he gives u truth via fiction, this has been his way since the dark side of Star Wars, he yearns to tell u a story, but not outright, check the hollywood heavyweights, Spielberg, and the others, this is truth hidden by way of box office programming. Truth is given in Jest, Research the unbelievable and you will have a many questions answered, This is how he tells u without telling You.

I loved this movie. The only reason I watched it is was because i've been steady listening to the soundtrack (which is just mind blowing. I love you JNH) for like two years. I just decided i'd better watch the movie.
The story is good and the characters are great, there's just something off about it. I don't know what it is though. I guess the way it was told. I can understand why people don't like it. If he could do it over again I bet Night would do a lot of things differently.

It's because they can see through it. I understand you, I love it too but I cannot contend with the people who hate it because they're absolutely right.
I consider this film a very well rounded guilty pleasure of mine.

The film critic character, M. Night casting himself as the writer who'll change the world ...

Ohhh i see it as he casting himself into that role just for the fun of it.
I mean it is a fairy tale, but i guess some people might see it as pompous :P
Still a great movie, one of my favs
flyingVesp 2 years ago
There are other things too; like the bile shown towards the film critic character - which was totally uncalled for as it was the film critics who praised him in the beginning - He suggests himself to be this suffering artist, who is misunderstood by evil people.
... WRONG MOVE, M.
Raymint 2 years ago
So his film ended up with this incredibly self righteous heart that just completely over shadowed everything good about the film (and rightly so because it all came from a bad place anyway). He's a great storyteller, he just needs to redirect his energy, put it back into the place it was with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
Having said that, I could barely hold it together the first time I saw this.

Well, it sounds like a wolf, looks like a wolf, and acts like a wolf, so i'm gonna say it's basicly a wolf made outta grass

Don't you find it funny how the neverending story was made well over 20 years before this and the wolf in that movie looks more realistic and scary than the wolf in this?

I love the under-water shot of the bird swooping down and taking her. I like how he made it subtle, which almost made it seem realistic.
Nice work, M. Night. on that particular shot.
Also, when the music really quiets down at that point...man is that amazing!

This movie is on such LCD its ridiculous, it's like the movie literally rolled a blunt and laced it with acid then snorted 2 lines of coke and finally took a shot of tequila. Did it all work out in the end... not so much. This movie sucked, plain and simple.
DaNumba1Stunna14 3 years ago
Such an amazing scene - really, the only thing I would have changed would have been to not have Paul's character shout out 'Reggie', so as to make the reveal to who the Guardian is have a bigger impact. My favorite shot of the entire movie has to be 2:35 - incredible.
All of his films always have that one scene just is just so incredible and distinct, it always stands out - and they always happen at the end. :) Unbreakable: 'orange man' scene. Signs: final confrontation with the alien, etc.
jediphoenix 3 years ago 3
totally agree, the scenes you have mentioned have been such pivotal, and powerful points of the film.
TheLastMidnightSon 3 years ago 2
I thought the same thing too about revealing the gaurdian if you skip 2:15 - 2:20 it looks better, and I like the shot at 2:40 more cause Reggie's actually in it.

The ending to this movie was absolutely perfect. The way he has the underwater shot when the eagle thing comes in is brilliant and the music in the final moments just gives me goosebumps. Say what you will about the rest of this film or his other movies for that matter, but this scene is film making at its best.

It's not a wolf. It's a scrunt. A fictional uber villain. That's why it's a fictional story and not a documentary. Maybe you could try watching the whole movie with an open, imaginative and creative mind? You'd enjoy it better, ya troll.
PyretQueen 3 years ago 6
Ohhhh! Is this fiction? Really??? I thought it happened in the "real life", somewhere in Kansas, or Houston... "American Werewolf in London" has a better plot... much better!!!! That's why it s a classic and this one is rubish... if I have to be creative to understand the movies that I watch, maybe is better to be a Director and write my own histories...

I agree. You can't push on a door and have it break inwards towards you. Yes, this is a fictional fantasy film, but the key to making people believe in a movie is to make sure it stays within the realm of believability.

geez relax, every movie has its flaws. it's JUST a movie
if you keep noticing the tiny details and compare it to 'reality' then stick to watching The National Geographic.
CSI couldn't REALLY solve cases in 24 hours now could they? If they want to stick to reality, investigations take MONTHS not DAYS, what do you say to that?

I really like this movie a lot. M. Night has a knack at capturing a moment of raw and beautiful human emotion, and translating it into awe inspiring combinations of cinematography, character manipulation, and soundtrack. The final scenes with Mr. Heap and Story saying their goodbyes in the rain, and where the eagle takes her away as we, the audience, views the moment looking through the water, is absolutely breathtaking in my opinion.
professorgentzel 3 years ago
damn shyamalan is seriously lackin any talent all his movies are so formulaic, no matter how much he tries to get us to see theyre so unique. the ending totally plays out like signs, its ridiculous. its natural to be influenced by other movies when making one, but not so good when the only movies influencing you are your past efforts LOL

The excuses are "its too weird,stupid,its a bad movie,Then tell me what was bad about it? The Plot? (you mean the plot with the deep message that is put together with Good Actors, superb screen play and a wonderful musical score?)His movies are pieces of art. Its beautiful. Look up M nights interviews on Youtube and hear him comment about his movie yourself
Heres an idea... if you dont like the movie you could always i didnt like it.. not "it was a bad movie" that is your opinion not a fact.
laufnon 3 years ago 4
wow look up the directors own interview of his own movie he will say its good. of course he will say its good the reason this movie got bad reviews is because the director made himself the changer of the world which denotes a big ego. thats why.
