NavajoEverclear Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I went on a date to see the village tonight. I thought it was mostly very good. A little dissappointing, but it was what it was and i accept it. It seems like Shamylan (sp?) is bent on plot twists. This one wasn't bad, except in the fact that it was quite predictable. I didn't predict it, because i forgot that being M. Night, I should be waiting for the twist, but it wasn't that surprising. I hope he realizes he doesn't have to follow the same model of plot twists everytime. Ok with me if he does it most of the time, but not always. My hope for him is that he's doing this to elliminate all of the obvious possible twist types, so that he, and everyone else in movie making HAVE to start making smarter movies that we cant predict. The way i see it, M Night can never try to pull off another twist, unless it's totally brilliant. People will definately be waiting and guessing from the beginning---- some people where in this one, my friend said he predicted the end. So he'll either begin to be lame, or he'll start getting smarter, and everyone else will have to get smarter to compete with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atinymonkey Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 After Sixth Sense and Signs, does anyone think that M Night fellow might be overusing the plot twist device just a little? Is it done well in The Village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 What was the plot twist in Signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 It wasn't very good. [hide]The ex-preachers dead wife had left a message for his brother and daughter that enabled them to both protect themselves from the Aliens and prove God exists. This restored his faith, saved the family and so on *yawn*[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blike Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Is it done well in The Village? No. You'll be able to predict it about half-way through the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
