Description

From M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director of THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE, comes the story of the Hess family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who wake up one morning to find a 500-foot crop circle in their backyard. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his family are told extraterrestrials are responsible for the sign in their field. They watch, with growing dread, the news of crop circles being found all over the world. SIGNS is the emotional story of one family on one farm as they encounter the terrifying last moments of life as the world is being invaded. "It's easy for a filmmaker to blow up the world -- but what Shyamalan does is much riskier. He tries to blow our minds. I was engaged by every inch of SIGNS." - Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper.

  • Classic! The very best of the best of M. Night
I think this is my all-time favorite movie. I honestly don't know what everyone is complaining about. This movie is suspenseful, perfectly executed, and its' simple theme of faith and hope and the importance of family and forgiveness is beautiful. Forget the stupid aliens who reacted so badly to water and yet decided to invade a planet made up of 3/4 water; the aliens are a mere afterthought to what the film is really about. The real twist at the end of the film is that there isn't one! I know I was fooled, thinking all along that it all just HAD to be a hoax, somehow, until the family left the basement. And there were plenty of times I jumped in my seat in startelment. We see only quick glimpses of the antagonists (the aliens) in this, but that's enough; somehow its' even more ominous because the imagination can provide far more scarier images than what can be shown on screen. The music was also very good, the same 3 notes providing a background of tenseness and acute hyper awareness and expectation. Most of all, though, the circle of people that was the Hess family, Graham (Mel Gibson, my favorite actor), a recently widowed Episcopalian priest who recently left his church due to a crisis of faith; Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix, my second favorite actor), a washed-up minor league baseball player in his early twenties, the younger brother of Graham (by about 18 years) who moved in with the family after the death of Graham's wife Colleen; and the two children, asthmatic Morgan and water-idiocyncratic Bo. The level of devotion, protectiveness and caring for each family member was palpable; I could truly believe this was a real family. And each of these people's distinctive traits wound up to all be for a reason. The entire theme of the movie was like a sack with a drawstring tie that slowly pulled closed and tightened together until it was closed by the end of the movie, in a very satisfying, comforting manner. The performances of each cast member was flawless, and there were some wonderful moments of humor and silliness to offset the intensity. (Both Gibson and Phoenix have demonstrated their talents for dry wit and comedy before and used it in sparing doses in this.) I think my favorite scene was the "Last Supper", where they all went from tears and anger and impending doom and dread to simple re-affirmation of each one's love for each other.(And they all managed to do it without getting too sappy about it.) The moment when a sobbing Graham, surrounded by his two distraught children, pulls his weeping brother Merrill into their hug was both funny and very touching and poignant. Even the children did very well, bright and precocious without ever slipping into overly cutesy or bratty. I liked the extra "Making Of" feature and especially the deleted scenes; there was one in particular I really wish that would have been kept, where Merrill tries to block the attic door from the aliens and Graham tells him the story of when he, Graham, accidentally broke Merrill's arm when Merrill was 2 1/2. This is a movie I am able to watch multiple times without losing interest. It's well done all around with a little something of everything, and highly recommended. ... show more

  • An excellent movie, in the "fairy tale" category...
M. Night Shamalan (did I spell that right?) has a particular "niche" he writes for... the "twist-ending" film. His first major film, "The Sixth Sense," was magnificent, and I really loved "Unbreakable" as well. This is the other Shamalan film I really like. (Others, such as "The Happening" and "The Village" and "Lady in the Water" are quite a bit more underwhelming in my opinion, though they're not nearly as bad as some reviewers would lead you to believe!) This film is really a classical fairy tale... a term that may make people come to the wrong conclusion if I don't explain. See, real "fairy tales" aren't what we often think of by that term today. We think of them as being set "in another time and place" because most of those we know are set in our past, in a situation which to use seems strange. But at the time that the stories came into being, they were cast in the actual work in which the listener to the tale was familiar. They also tended to be quite dark, and often rather frightening and violent, not remotely like the "Disney-fied" version we often think of today. Basically, a "fairy tale" introduced a magical or supernatural element into the world that the audience was familiar with, and usually posed a a morality tale with great trial and danger, sometimes leading to a heroic victory (and maybe even a "happily ever after" though that's really part of the "Disney-fication" I mentioned earlier most of the time!) but at least as often, a tragic morality tale. This story is a modern fairy tale. Yes, it's aliens instead of gnomes or succubi or fairies or witches or whatever... but they serve the same purpose in the story. The "heroes" aren't really glorious heroic figures, but are common people, going through a very personal trial... one which can either be overcome or which can prove out as a "tragic morality tale" At the core of this story, and part of what some of the audience disliked about the flick, is the idea that "there are no coincidences." The lead character is a former minister who lost faith due to a personal tragedy. I know that some folks I know really liked that aspect of the character at first... and they were the ones who hated the movie the most once it was done... because this is, in the end, a POSITIVE morality tale, about how even the most inconsequential-seeming (or even annoying) things in your life can, in the end, prove to be there for a reason. This movie has a hopeful ending, and is very much "pro-faith." If that appeals to you, you'll enjoy the movie. If you're one of those people who find the concept of "faith" to be something you associate (wrongly, I'd argue) with stupidity, you'll almost certainly hate everything about this film. Finally... this isn't an action movie, or a horror movie. Yes, there's a global invasion going on, but every bit of this movie is small, and personal. It's about what goes on INSIDE of a person, not what's going on outside. It's a deeply emotional film, but if you expect an action-adventure film, you'll be very disappointed. I recommend this film, and have shared it with a number of friends and family members who never saw it... for various reasons. Virtually all appreciated it, except for a couple of folks I know who have a passionate hatred of the concept of faith (and who falsely associate that with being "anti-intellectual" or "anti-science" or whatever other nonsense they use to prop up their own faith-based belief that there "is no God.") ... show more
