That's not what I wanted at all. I didn't want the village to be the Sixth Sense. In fact, I didn't change one thing in the entire movie, short of actually showing the medicine. ALL I changed was the sequence of events.Dan said:I love how Mike Works' description of how to change the movie is pretty much the following: The Village would have been better if it were The Sixth Sense. I don't know, I saw The Sixth Sense back in 1999. If I wanted to see it again, I have it on DVD. I'd much prefer to see something different than the same formula again.
I don't know, I knew the ending going into the film and had major reservations about it, but I thought the film worked really well. I think some of you have just been convincing yourselves for the past several months that this would suck. Plus, there's always that crowd that has to hate on things that lots of people think are good because that somehow elevates their own taste, or some bullshit like that.
And rearranging the order of certain scenes in order to give the surprises a sensible conquest of impact doesn't turn the movie into the Sixth Sense. If it was revealed that Donald Sutherland had been replaced in Invasion of the Body Snatches 3 quarters into the film, it would hurt the film. Generally, when you have a surprise twist, you unveil it at the end, unless the film uses it as a crutch to continue on. This was not the case for The Village, and thus the editing job did nothing but seriously detract from the potential enjoyment of the movie.
(IMO DUDERS)
