Signs (2002)

Truly Dreadful Film

Touches You

Sorry, this movie sucks

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I don't think this film deserved the poor reviews that some gave it. I've only seen 3 of Night Shylaman's films (6th Sense, Unbreakable) and this one is the most sophisticated in my mind in terms of the director manipulating the viewers into seeing and believing what he wants you to believe.This is not Gibson's worst film by any means. If anything he gets to try to portray an understated, confused, and emotionally scarred character and I think he soft-sells it very well. Joaquin Phoenix also has a similar character to play and he too soft-sells it well. That was probably not an accident as their calm, sullen personalities contrast with the unbearable situation they find themselves in.

Signs was a movie that was created and written by M. Night Shyamalan and released in the middle of 2002. It was filmed in Pennsylvania like most of his work such as, Unbreakable and The Village. Some of the major actor or stars would include Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix which they played the role of Brothers in the movie. Like the title says, it all begin with a signs, Graham(Mel Gibson) the main actor lost his faith on God due to "something" that had happened to him. So, he decided to move out of the city and lives in a peaceful farm. On day, there's a mysterious signs landed on their crop fields which the story begins. At first, I though this is a frightening movie but there's a whole lot more than that. The actors in Signs did a pretty good job in showing their characters role. Also, the symbol of water is pretty important in Signs, it signify the importance of having hope and guys quick facts about M. Night Shyamalan, In most of his movie water played an important role. Overall, I would say Signs was a pretty decent movie if you just want to watch it for entertainment which is okay, but it you are seeking for a movie that explain the importance of faith and the development of individuals overall this is a great movie. I would rate it as an 8 out of 10 because no movie is perfect, one thing I didn't like about Signs is the progress of the story, in my sense the story moves "too" slow, nothing much happened in some scene but it might be my own "favor" that a movie moves fast and have lots of stuff happened in a short period.Thanks for those who read it, and if you have any suggestions for me please commend (p.s. first time writing movie review). This is a community for those who loves and appreciate for movies.

Signs by M. Night Shyamalan is one of his mystery movies. This film starts out with a crop circle shown on the main character's field. Later, we also see that these crop circles were created all around America. Then, slowly but surely, there were signs of some sort of intelligent life from outer space that comes to earth. Finally, when there was obvious proof that aliens came, there were people that evacuate to different places to be safe. However, our main character decides to stay in their home and wish for the best.This film is a mystery/thriller that allows the audience to think. The story line is not a straight forward story that the audience can understand without thinking. There are also constant actions that catches the attention of the viewer. This helps the audience to always be cautious and keeps them on their toes. There are also very meaningful messages and themes that is shown in this film. This is not an obvious thing that shows but there are plenty of hints that we can see.This is overall a very well-made film. With questions, such as "does coincidence occurs or not" in an alien film, it makes it a unique film. With a strong sense of family togetherness, this is an excellent film to watch with your family.

M. Night Shyamalan starts out this amazing movie of Signs with a chilling scream. You then find out that the main character's fields of corn were turned into massive circles. Throughout the movie, you are wondering what these circles are and what they mean. In this movie, you can almost touch the closeness of the family, having gone through so much together. This movie has many flashbacks to a major event in the main character's life. Over the course of the entire movie you find out about the former Reverend's life including his deceased wife. During the movie, you are unsure about these circles if they are just kids playing around or aliens. I won't tell you what it is but I will tell you a very powerful quote in the movie of Signs. "See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that everyone just gets lucky?" This quote that the former reverend says explains the title. This movie being a thriller is made a thriller with the use of reflections on the television as well as the reflection of a knife, these cinematographic shots create suspense and attach you into the movie even more. In conclusion, I feel that this movie is something for you if you enjoy thrilling movies about family relationships. That will make you ponder what are the signs in your life.
