It's official, and through 633 posts no one has mentioned one of the most emotional twists of the 90s - the Sixth Sense.
Admit it - when you watched it for the first time as a child, it hit you hard.
Spoiler in case you've been living in a cave all your life:
Bruce Willis has been dead the whole movie
I don't know. I acknowledge that it was emotionally devastating for Bruce Willis's character - but that didn't exactly translate to the viewer. For the viewer, it was almost exciting. "what about the time when he...or when he..." and as you go back through the scenes its more of a 'woah i had no idea he was dead thats crazy' as opposed to a 'oh no he's dead i'm emotionally devastated'.
The Game- When he shoots his own brother and then jumps off the edge of the building
"Emotionally devastating" in the sense that the characters make you feel something tragic and real, not "emotionally devastating for the film industry as a whole and people who enjoy writing that makes sense."
"emotionally devastating for the film industry as a whole and people who enjoy writing that makes sense."
There are a lot of those.
I hate nothing worse than terribly written films that make tons of money.
Spoiler:
This post, of course, will need to be edited should I ever get a job in development so that it reads: I hate nothing worse than films that make one penny less than is possible within the laws of the known universe.
