  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I thought the movie was great! Though, I like the fact that it was NOT scary like it was made to seem from teasers. I have seen all the other movies by this director/screenwriter, and think that if he had done what everyone thought, and made it scary as all get out, then it would be said that he was stuck in a rut and becoming predictable.

The Village was my first movie by this director... I thought he was very creative, in some ways he reminds me of myself. Are any of his other films especially good?

I loved the village because it had an unexpected ending. I actually like to be suprised in movies. These days some of them are so predictable. "Signs" was a great movie that he did. I loved it. It had Mel Gibson in it. If you haven't seen it already you should.

I saw this in the theater and I really liked it. I still like Signs the best though. I've watched that one several times. The other M Night Shyamalan movies I've seen were The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and I liked those too. Does he have any other ones?

[font=STOMP_Sui Generis]That one is M N Shlayman's work? Ooh! I shall have to see that one- I've thought about it, but I had no idea what it was about. Maybe now I'll give it a chance! :) [/font]

The Village was good, but not his best film. I enjoyed it and found it to be unique. I think Sixth Sense is his best and Signs scared me! Definitely see Signs if you haven't. Unbreakable was really good but was a bit off an oddball movie. I did enjoy it though...very philosophical.

Out of all of the movies he has written/directed I hae only seen The Village, Signs, Unbreakable and The sixth sense and loved them all! The Sixth Sense is my favorite, and Signs me least favorite. He is a great director.....almost all of his shots are like a picture. his movies are truly great to watch.
