the leaves are starting to turn, god i love fall :-)
today i saw the village today. ( http://thevillage.movies.go.com/main.html ) I have always loved M. Night Shaymalan's movies. In each one he uses color to represent good, evil, fear, and love. In "the sixth sense" he used red to represent death. In "Unbreakable" he used purple to represent evil. "Signs" had numerous color representations. Blue was saftey, yellow was information, and green was evil. In his latest film the color cordination is quite obvious but still appreciated, whereas yellow is the "safe color" and red is the "bad color". What i truley loved when watching the movie is the tribute to loved ones lost. three times during the movie there is a shot of a lonsome chair, waiting to be sat in. the characters in the movie have all lost someone in their past, and the chair is a nice reminder that there will always be a place for them. The love story was refreshing to see in one of his films. the last three really was about love lost. in the "sixth sense" bruce willis is dead, and throughout the film you were led to believe that their marrage was failing. Another failed marrage was also in "unbreakable". for "signs" mel gibson's wife died and he lost his faith (a failed marrage with god). There was a lot of hope in this movie, a turn which the american public should take to heart. i won't spoil the ending of the movie for whomever didn't see it yet, but it was interesting.... a little suprising, but made you think of the possiblities laying out there in the world for us to discover. if you have always been a little sceptical of Shaymalon's movies then maybe you should just read into the imagrey he weaves.
