Is anybody else watching this? The Buried Secrets of M. Night Shyamalan Itâs pretty good⌠itâs a mock documentary about the truth behind Shyamalanâs inspiration for his movies.
I give it two thumbs up! :thumb: :thumb:
Actually, itâs on right now so Iâm gonna get back to itâŚ
Okay, so this guy thatâs doing the documentary starts digging into Nightâs past and finds out that thereâs two years of his life (ages 10-12) where he seems to have disappeared.
This guyâs starting to believe that M. Nightâs movies are really autobiographyâs (sp?).
I summed it down, you really gotta watch it to see how this guy comes to this conclusion.
I love that guys movies, itâs weird as well but if you think about it his movies have very simple, traditional plots but just with a very weird twist.
For instance Signs is the story of a former preacher disallusioned with god and the church he becomes a regular farmer. In times of trouble his brother moves in and the two live on the farm with the preachers two children. Through adversity they come through, with their faith renewed and a closer family. The preacher returns to the church and we all live happily ever afterâŚnow add the twist as an alien invasion and youâll see what I mean.
How about Sixth SenseâŚA young troubled boy who has problems connecting with people and being bullied at school. A counsellor helps him become a better person, adjusted to his surrondings and eventually popular at school and closer to his mother. Now add the twist of seeing dead people and youâll see what I mean.
I really like watching his movies. I canât wait for his new one this summer âthe Villageâ I think it looks great and will be just as suspensefull as his others. The Sixth Sense and Signs are two of my favorite scary type movies!
I lost faith in this guy by the second movie I saw made by him. I realized they all had the same âoh, isnât this ironicâ kind of ending. Iâm pretty sure his next movie, The Village (which so happens to be the same name as my apartment, lawsuits pending), is going to be the same.
Of course it was fake, though I must admit certain parts of it had me wondering. But then again I guess that was the point- so if it was Shyamalanâs goal to get me thinking about it, then it worked.
It was a mock documentary. As I said earlier: it shows how Shyamalan got his inspiration for his movies and then we find out that this inspiration really came from him living through this, or personal experiences.
Oh ok. I remember seeing a real documentary of him on one of âthose channelsâ (A&E or something :P). I didnât remember seeing some of the stuff a few of you posted about him lol.
