Signs (2002) - Visions

"Signs" is a movie that I thoroughly enjoy for the way it manages to (slowly but gradually) build up suspense without really showing anything (most of the time at least).

Also loved the newscasts ("Vamonos" anyone?), and the foil hats (made them look like giant Hershey's Kisses in my opinion). :-D
Absolutely hated the sugar-sweet ending, though (water, and sudden recovered faith - right...), but that's just me. :o)

Music:
James Newton Howard - Visions
James Newton Howard - The Orange Man
James Newton Howard - Unbreakable

I agree about the buildup in this movie...and also the ending. Your editing was wonderful. I have never heard anything by James Newton Howard, but I like it.

[SkyAboveWater]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :o)

Oh, and even though you said you never heard anything by James Newton Howard before - I'm pretty sure you have, but are just not aware of it.

He's done so many scores for great movies ("The Devil's Advocate", "Primal Fear", "Falling Down", "The Sixth Sense" - I could go on forever) that it's almost impossible to not have come across something he did... :o)

[Siliven]

Oh no! Does he live? Does he die?? :P James Howard! I love him too! I liked the first song the best and I thought that the music was in perfect timing with the video.

"Unbreakable" that reminds me of that movie called "Unbreakable" hey wasn't that with him too...? No, it was Bruce Willis right? (yeah just assuming that you have seen the movie:P)

Anyway, I also liked how you made this video longer, but I guess it kinda needed to be longer. Can't wait to see your next video.

[SkyAboveWater]

I don't want to spoil it for you so I won't tell you about the ending. :-D

I have seen Unbreakable, too, and the three songs I used for this video are actually part of the Unbreakable score, so your connection to the movie was pretty accurate. :o)

And speaking of connections: Both "Signs" and "Unbreakable" are by M. Night Shyamalan who also did "The Village" (good movie by the way in case you haven't seen it yet) which again stars Joaquin Phoenix. Talk about patterns... :o))

I remember watching this movie and loving it. I think I was 12 at the time? Can't really remember. Anyways I especially remember the part when we saw the aliens on the TV, there were these girls in the theater that screamed bloody murder. lol It was funny. Of course my dad had to ruin it by pointing out the fact that it was stupid for the aliens to try and invade a planet that was 3/4 water....Parents and their damn intellect.

too much for your undeveloped brain :)

[holmsatlarge]

"Swing away, Merril"!

[irshgrl500]

OK SkyAboveWater- you opened yourself up for this one! You said you did not like the "Sweet Sugary" ending? Well, what would you have as an ending? The Aliens devoring the Hess family? The ending COULD NOT have been much different and enjoyed the same success, sorry but it is the hard, cold truth!

Also, this movie was about FAITH, not Aliens, did you miss that, too?

Amo questo film

e la colonna sonora dal punto 4:06

[kennydavis15]

At 5:03, when Mel moves slightly is when the music best matches. I wish you would I edited it more to focus it on the alien and Mel only a little more. Lots a dramatic moments can occur there with this music from Unbreakable

[brotherhoodoutcast22]

is some of the signs probaly heated grass or flat grass when ufo lands

[enigmaE5]

Great edit, i feel like i just watched the whole, movie....nice touch by the way how the music comes back in when the alien walks by, awesome.

[akos0011]
