Chapter 2029 2029 In-Depth Topic
Although the filming of "The Sixth Sense" was delayed again and again, after Hugo arrived in Philadelphia, the whole crew started to run quickly. The crew spent five days practicing the script. As the core of the whole film, Hugo and Haley had no problems. Toni and Leonardo were also familiar with it. Kate, who was originally the most nervous, was in the process of practicing. It also gradually relaxed, allowing the entire crew to get ready for shooting.
However, these are not the reasons why the crew spent five days practicing. The main reason is that Hugo and Knight discussed the whole story, and all actors including Leonardo joined the discussion. Hugo I hope that everyone can further improve their understanding of the whole story of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality".
The biggest highlight of the whole movie of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is actually the ending. The ending of the Jedi reversal has raised the whole story to a higher level, and it is also the key to giving the role of Malcolm more depth and meaning.
Malcolm, an award-winning child psychologist in Philadelphia, has received a medal from the city, and he and his wife plan to celebrate. But unexpectedly, Vincent broke into his home—Vincent was his patient ten years ago, and he promised to help Vincent at the beginning, but after ten years, Vincent not only did not get better, but worsened , has gradually become a marginalized person in society. So Vincent wanted to ask Malcolm for help.
But at this time Vincent was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He didn't give Malcolm too much time, nor did he give himself too much time. He picked up the pistol and shot Malcolm directly, and then aimed at himself. temple, and pulled the trigger.
A year later, Malcolm received another case—Cole, and all of Cole's situations were too similar to Vincent's, which made Malcolm very worried. On the one hand, he worried that Cole would become the second Vincent. , On the one hand, he was also worried that he would not be able to help Cole. So, that makes a lot of connections between Malcolm and Cole.
As the two get along, Malcolm gradually discovers Cole's secret, because Cole can see ghosts, so he is always in fear. This reminded Malcolm of Vincent's case - Vincent was the same at the beginning, but Malcolm believed that Vincent was unable to accept the situation caused by the divorce of his parents. Instead, Vincent fell into a more terrifying abyss.
This time, Malcolm won't let things repeat themselves. Therefore, Malcolm tried his best to help Cole and enlighten Cole. They discovered that the reason why ghosts stay and stay with Cole is because they still have nostalgia for life and they still have unfulfilled wishes. So, Malcolm directed Cole to help, to help the ghosts as much as possible without regrets, and then they would disappear.
This made Cole gradually cheerful, because he knew that the ghost was not the source of fear, but the unknown, and the ghost came to him because he was eager for help. This is exactly the same as Cole's own situation, so it opened his heart and gradually restored his smile.
Malcolm finally succeeded, and he was relieved that he prevented Cole from repeating the same mistakes again. So he and Cole's psychotherapy can come to an end, but at the end of the story, after Cole's reminder, Malcolm suddenly discovered: he himself is a ghost!
When Vincent killed Malcolm, he also killed himself. But Malcolm stayed in the world because of an obsession, and then he gradually approached Cole, trying to fulfill his remaining last wish. When Malcolm's last wish was fulfilled, he came to his senses and disappeared completely.
Such an ending is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and it can almost be said to subvert the entire story. The two protagonists throughout the story have a far deeper connection and bond with each other than imagined. No wonder Cole is so scared every time he sees Malcolm; no wonder Malcolm finds his wife is alienating him, not even willing to talk to him... All the deviations are connected together, and the whole story is connected. But hidden behind this shocking result is a cycle of fate.
Malcolm thought his wife didn't love him anymore—since the night Vincent committed suicide, his wife was estranged from him. In the past year, his wife didn't even want to talk to him. Their marriage existed in name only. But in fact, Anna has never forgotten Malcolm. She has always lied to her husband that he is not dead and is still living by her side, so she always gives Malcolm the illusion that they still live together, but just Alienated. Hiding behind Malcolm's sadness and pain is Anna's torment and struggle.
For the dead, he refuses to believe that he is dead, like a ray of wandering spirit, wandering in the gray area between hell and the world; for the living, he refuses to believe that he is alone, and the passage of time cannot dilute her love. Sadness, loneliness and loneliness in the dead of night overwhelmed her.
Malcolm has always been unwilling to give up the fetters, one is Anna and the other is Cole. Such obsession is worth his being around Anna and Cole all the time. He does his best to help Cole, just to prevent Cole from leaving. Going on Vincent's old road, hoping to bring this child a ray of warmth. But in the end, Malcolm discovered that while he was helping Cole, Cole was also helping him. They understood the fetters of family, love and friendship on human beings, and they understood the importance of caring, companionship and understanding to human beings. , They understand that sincerity, friendliness and trust are irreplaceable.
So, Cole opened up to his mother and reconnected with her mother; so, Malcolm also understood that his leaving is the best thing for Anna, because Anna needs to move on, life cannot Forever stopped at the moment of his death.
People are always afraid, afraid to face their own fears, and even more afraid to face their fears to others. Malcolm's refusal to acknowledge his own death, clutching Anna and Cole so hard that he won't let go, is the cruelest and truest part. But when Malcolm really understood this from Cole, he chose to let go-it was the fetters in his heart that made him refuse to let go, but it was also the fetters in his heart that made him choose to let go.
This is the existence of human beings, contradictory and entangled. But the most sincere emotion and the softest bond in the heart are the eternal power for everyone to keep going.
For most of "The Sixth Sense," Cole is at the heart of the movie, as he maintains the juncture between life and death, but the ending of the movie overturns all views: a man who is dead but still thinks he is alive Malcolm is the one who really wanders between the two worlds. He can feel the attachment of survival and the coldness of death; he can feel the fear from ghosts and the helplessness of being a ghost ; You can feel Cole's loneliness, and you can also feel Cole's warm sunshine...
Malcolm maintains the core idea of the whole movie: real fear is actually fear itself, and inner belief is the only magic weapon to overcome fear. Family, love or friendship will always keep the softest part of the heart.
It can be said that Knight did spend a lot of thought when writing this script. He used a seemingly simple circle that concealed reincarnation and fate to connect Malcolm and Cole. The ring tells about the purest, most essential and true emotions of human beings. This is also the greatest success of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality"!
When many people watched this movie, they were more shocked by the super big reversal of the ending. In the long history of movies, there are countless movies with reverse endings, but there are not many works that can create classics. "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is one of them. But in fact, Knight didn't write this ending to shock the audience. The fact that "Malcolm is a ghost" itself is the core idea of the whole movie.
The only pity is that in the version that Hugo had watched, Knight did not dig deep into the core of this point, and Bruce Willis' performance did not reach such a depth and height, which restricted the further improvement of the film quality.
This time, Hugo personally participated in the production of "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit", hoping to convey this idea.
During the script practice in the past few days, everyone's discussions were extremely heated. At the beginning, everyone was just shocked by the ending of the script, but after hearing Hugo's analysis—the shock had only just begun, and Knight's originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
In fact, Knight could vaguely feel this power during the writing of the script, but Knight was too young, and his lack of experience and experience made him lack of understanding of this core, and he lacked experience in script writing It also made him lose his grasp; secondly, Knight's overall view is still not enough, and his conception and understanding of the story are not deep enough. He vaguely has these thoughts in his heart, but he can't sum them up, let alone inject them into the script.
But now after Hugo's reminder, Knight immediately became very excited, and started to revise and polish the script with Hugo.
Haili, Toni, Kate, Leonardo and others can give very limited help, but their understanding of the script will affect the quality of the performance, and there will be a gap in the delicacy and depth of the role interpretation—— Of course, the premise is that the ability of the actors should be sufficient. Therefore, Hugo let everyone join in the practice and discussion.
"Wow, Hugo, tell me, why haven't I worked with you before?" Leonardo felt that a whole new door had opened before his eyes. The shock was enough, but only after he was really involved, Leonardo knew that what he felt was just the tip of the iceberg.
Hugo laughed, "Have you forgotten? 'Speed of life and death'?"
Leonardo was dumbfounded by Hugo's teasing, "You know that's not what I mean. I don't care. After my part is filmed, I will stay on the set and watch the entire filming!"
"Don't worry, you will be able to play in the first scene tomorrow."
