he film when Cole was having encounters with ghosts the lighting was very dark, being very different from the rest of the movie. Along with the lighting, the sound effects were only noticeable at the frightful times, which was perfect.Special effects are very important, unfortunately this movie did not have the effects of that The Matrix had. Although the specific type of special effects that are used in action movies are not really needed for this particular movie. The twist in the plot certainly makes up for the lack of special effects.The Sixth Sense is the kind of flawed movie that's worth sticking with. It's got an eerie flavor all its own. Also, a lot of things that appear not to add up eventually do make sense in light of the film's surprise ending. Getting to that ending is sometimes a chore, but the grave clarity with which the story is filmed helps knit together what seem its disjointed parts. At times, "The Sixth Sense" seems unanchored, floaty, like a dream. It's somber and heavy, but justifiably so, since it is an 8-year-old Philadelphia boy who sees ghosts. Young Coles face looks obscure and full of pain, again understandably so, since the ghosts are of people who died unhappy.This movie mad a lot of money. In Hollywood, is that the most important? Well it seems like 40 years ago great actors and a fine scripts were most important, but now trendy, overpaid actors with little acting talent can make a pitiful movie sell...
