I liked the movie, I didn't know it got any backlash. I thought it was a great movie with really good performances and scary ghosts. But the ending with Bruce Willis' character being dead was way too predictable, come on, you never saw other people interact with him. They made it too obvious by trying to hide it.

angelle myst · 18th July 2002, 01:58 AM

Well y'know, i just feel soooo dumb now but i'm sure i'll get over it

Blah.

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

tokyogirl · 18th July 2002, 03:06 AM

ok, well i didn't get it either so don't feel too stupid.

and the backlash for the movie was more against haley jo osmond than anything else. there were tons of 'i see dead people' parodies.

angelle myst · 18th July 2002, 03:33 AM

Aww, i dont feel too bad now

Like in Scary Movie, that guy saw dead ppl

its the only one i can think of now

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

tokyogirl · 18th July 2002, 03:35 AM

there were lots on like SNL and late night talk shows and stuff. but luckily the backlash wasn't too bad.

angelle myst · 18th July 2002, 03:44 AM

Yup, i thought it rocked, and i wanted to watch it again as soon as it finished

The first time I watched this film I was really freaked out. And I can't deal with gross scenes like blood and guts all that well either...but it was brilliant! Haley Joel Osment is TOO cute and a great actor.

It's so creepy tho, like when all the cupboards are open...aafter Imwatched it a few times the chill wore off and the coolness came in. The film is amazing and the twist at the end - I never would have guessed that. ?But theres something I don't understand. If he is dead, why is he sitting with Cole's mom when Cole gets home from school. Surely he knew that, while he was trying to talk to her, she wasn't responding. And how did he get in the house in the first place?!
:flash:

Obviously, spoilers for the movie will abound in this thread!

I didn't see the movie until it came out on video, I had not been told what the actual twist was, but I was aware that there was one, from hearing people talk.
I made an offhand remark like "So, I suppose Bruce Willis is a ghost", and the person who I was talking to just looked at me blankly - "uuuuuhhhh, ummm, no, not really", he stuttered on for a bit, but I already knew that I had just ruined the movie for myself

I know a few people that figured it out - or, I suppose they just guessed, really.

What about you?

Shaun · 19th July 2002, 05:28 AM

I watched it on video aswell and I also knew that there was a big twist but had no clue what it was before I saw the movie. I think they just tried too hard to cover up the twist. So yes I guessed it about halfway through the movie, if I didn't know there was a twist I'm not sure I would of got it.

Tabitha · 19th July 2002, 05:42 AM

Knowing there is a twist coming, even if you don't actually know what it is, will make you figure it out, I think.

Still great though, even if you have guessed it

tokyogirl · 19th July 2002, 03:21 PM

he just walks in. he's a ghost, so nothing can stop him. since he didn't realize he was dead, he could convince himself that the mother was just upset and worried about her son. he could believe that he's already talked to her about her son.

Tabitha · 20th July 2002, 01:30 AM

I liked this movie a lot!

Very scary!

Shaun · 20th July 2002, 02:45 AM

Yeah very scary. I think the scariest part is having a young kid see all the ghosts, having that happen to me at that age would freak me out for life.
