Examine the way that the two scenes from the Sixth Sense are presented

The intriguing witchlike thriller, Sixth Sense, combines a mixture of honesty and deception to create a film which is renowned as having one of the most unpredict suitable and gratifying endings, at least in recent cinema. Directed by M. shadow Shyamalan, the film reveals the tortured existence of Cole, a very unique wee boy, cursed with a unique solely sinister gift, a sixth sense - the ability to see the dead. Haunted by these apparitions since birth and ineffective to share his troubles for fear of suspicion of his insanity, Cole struggles under the burden of his gift, sledding him disturbed and isolated from those around him until the more obvious signs of his mental agitation begin to appear in his behaviour. However, shortly after a furious attack on a successful child psychologist, his life by chance takes a turn for the better in the form of disheartened psychologist Dr Crowe, who conveniently appears on the scene. After developing a trusting repor between himself an d Cole, Dr Crowe is able assist Cole in overcoming his terrifying haunting by the bustling souls of the dead, in what initi each(prenominal)y occurs as the conclusion But after world comfortable in the knowledge that we too are aware of all the factors in play (through the dramatic irony in which all characters but ourselves and Dr Crowe are unaware of Coles gift) the audience is again plunged into uncertainty as the mend truly culminates in a dramatic twist, in which it is uncovered, that, perversely, Dr Crowe is himself a stay soul from beyond the grave.In a film in which the piece is based almost entirely on our own assumptions, the Director has ingeniously crafted body language, facial aspect and the specific use of picky camera shots and angles to create the vi... ...iences in the film. Characteristics such as creation invisible, unheard and being unable to communicate are simply not apparent in Dr Crowe. Techniques including the use of specific camera angles and sho ts, body language and facial expression are used not only to manipulate the audience to see that he visible etc, but also to create empathy and understanding with the character, so that he is trusted implicitly and the audience will accept at ?face value? his existence because he is so close to humanity, specially in comparison to other ghosts within the film. Throughout the audience is addicted only a snapshot of the bigger picture and only from the particular angle that the Director wishes them to view it from and it is this ability to manipulate the perceptions and feelings of the audience that crystalize such a deception possible.
