The Sixth Sense is an American horror-thriller film. This film tells the story of Cole who is able to see and talk to the dead and a child psychologist who tries to help him.
Cole is a character which his experiences have sympathised me. He is a kid who always lives in fear. He did not tell anyone about his secret in which he can actually see dead people around him all the time. When he met those dead people, he will go and hide in his little camp with many figurines inside which he has stolen from a church. I was worried him when he is facing with those scary moments himself. I meant, how can a little boy face with those horrible scenarios alone even me myself cannot take this alone. Cole faced with horrible experiences, even though he is afraid, he did not tell his mother and others because he knows no one will believe him. I still remember one of the scenes was the moment when a teacher is teaching history in the class. They talked about the history of the school and Cole was responded aggressively by shouting “shuttering Stanley”. I believe Cole was not shouted at the teacher but the ghost he had seen, even though I cannot see the present of it in the film. Everyone takes Cole mentally went wrong. No one likes him and even the invitation to a birthday party of one of his friends was actually invited by the friend’s mother. I sympathised Cole when he cannot tell everyone his secret while he is facing with those people who dislike him and tried to bully him as well as his mother, Lynn who tried to help him.
As a psychology student, I do not believe there are ghosts around us because again, this cannot explain by science. Cole did not believe anyone but he finally trusted Dr. Malcom and he decided to tell his secret to Dr. Malcom. Dr. Malcom did not trust him initially, but finally, believe the truth that he can see ghosts. The interesting part is the moment when Dr Malcom found Cole has the hallucinations and need to be hospitalised, he first response was he cannot help Cole. I believe, this will be the first response of every psychologist as he or she cannot experience the same feelings and situations of Cole. In fact, psychologists are more believed in something that can be explained by science. When disbelief turned into a belief, Dr Malcom found out there might be present of ghosts as Cole said when he heard the previous recording with another patient. Dr Malcom asked Cole try not to be scared of ghosts, they may need help from him. The first time when he tried to face a female ghost, he was afraid. He finally calms down himself and tries to communicate with “her”, actually “she” needed his help to clarify the truth that has caused “her” death. He went to the patient room (the room she stayed before) and took a box from “her”, he passed it to “her” father in the funeral and all the people were shocked when they realised “her” mother was the killer. Cole felt relaxed and he started to face with ghosts with courage, and he finally decided to tell his mom the truth that he can see ghosts and his grandmother always visits him.
The most unexpected part in this film was the moment when Dr Malcom only realised he has dies. Throughout the film, no one realised, perhaps everyone has forgotten the death of Dr. Malcom in the first scene when he was gotten shot from Vincent, his old patient, after watching all the interesting parts about Cole.
