The Village

I just watched The Village by M. Night Shyamalan. Damn, that was good. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The premise was very interesting, but the storytelling was simply brilliant. It was a perfect mix of character, emotion, fear, and the unknown. I'm still gobsmacked by the story. It's not like my questions weren't answered, but I just can't stop thinking about it.

I saw Signs for the first time on Sunday and was blown away by that one as well. I had no idea it would have so much emotion and depth. I cried and was moved by the lessons learned. Except for that unfortunate Unbreakable incident and a few early works, M. Night Shyamalan has proven to me that he's a very original writer/director who knows how to tell an interesting story. I would plan to see a movie based on the fact that his name was on it.

comment already

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion

I saw "the village" about 2 weeks ago, and my reaction was the same. My jaw nearly hit the ground when she climbed over that wall.

WOW!

Really? I heard that it wasn't very good and the ending was very anti-climactic.

I also heard that the movie wasn't very good, but I thought it was amazing. I suppose if you were expecting a pure horror/sci-fi flick then you'd be disappointed.

It took me a while to get into the movie, the beginning was a little slow for my liking, but I enjoyed it.

Not the sort of movie I'd watch again, because the whole movie is sitting on the ending just like Signs and The Sixth Sense.

yeah i went to see it about a week ago i was actually into the movie and on the edge of my seat the entire time... i really enjoyed the movie
