Comparison Between The Others and The Sixth Sense

The blockbuster movies 'The Sixth Sense' and 'The Others' are two of

the best examples of supernatural thrillers you will ever see. Both

storylines are gripping and compelling and there are many unsuspected

twists and turns along the way.

'The Sixth Sense' and 'The Others' have comparable storylines because

they are both based on the idea of a parallel universe in which

supernatural and human beings are closer than anyone realises. Both

movies have an ability to keep you guessing throughout and

unexpectedly surprising you.

'The Sixth Sense' is about a distinguished child psychologist, Dr

Malcolm Crowe who is haunted by the painful memory of a disturbed

young patient he was unable to help, so when he meets Cole Sear, a

frightened, confused eight-year-old boy with a similar condition, he

seeks to redeem himself by doing everything he can to help him. But

Malcolm discovers more than he thought he would when the boy reveals

he can see dead people. The movie is very emotional and ends when

Malcolm himself discovers that he is also dead.

'The Others' is about a woman named Grace and her two children Anne

and Nicholas. They live behind the locked doors and drawn curtains of

a huge secluded mansion. Out of nowhere, three mysterious servants

arrive and it becomes clear that there is far more to their house and

family that can be seen. Grace finds herself in a horrifying fight to

save her children and keep her sanity. This movie also ends when Grace

finds out that she, along with her children and the three servants are

dead.

Firstly I am going to compare the opening credits in 'T...

... middle of paper ...

...ed as a hard-hearted, cold and stiff

woman who has a strict idea of life. She is very organised and likes

to know what is going on at all times. She is strong willed and is

quite intimidating. This is all shown with the use of the camera

because when the camera is on Grace it is always pointed upwards as if

she is really tall. When the camera is showing Grace looking at

someone else it is pointing down.

Overall I think the movie that I preferred the most was 'The Others'

because it was very unpredictable and it captivated my attention

because there was always a new twist or turn to be discovered. I was

forced to watch very carefully because I did not want to miss

anything. The film was very mysterious and I think the ending lived up

to the rest of the movie. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole

way through.
