Movies with Bruce Willis have one feature - they are always interesting to watch. The huge talent and amazing charisma of the actor make the pictures with his participation memorable and fascinating. If you choose which films in the Bruce Willis filmography are the best, then this list will necessarily include the mystical thriller "The Sixth Sense." The film was a huge success with the audience and was nominated for six Oscar awards. Critics consider the role of child psychiatrist Malcolm Crow the best work of Bruce Willis. The actors ("The Sixth Sense"), who appeared in the film, created a harmonious team, which gave the thriller even more convincing.

History of the painting

"Sixth Sense" is a film by the director of Indian origin M. Knight Shyamalan. He is known to the audience for such films as "Signs", "Mysterious Forest", "After Our Era", "Visit" and the TV series "Pines". The director prefers to work in the genre of mystical thriller, although there are among his films and family melodrama "Stuart Little", which, incidentally, came out in the same year with the "Sixth Sense."

Plot

"They see only what they want to see" - in these words the nine-year-old boy Cole and hides the key to the film, but this viewers can only guess at the very end, in the last 10 minutes of the screen time. "Sixth Sense" is a film with an unpredictable outcome, and one that completely changes the meaning of the story told in it. The finale is so overwhelming that many review the film repeatedly to see it from a different perspective. That's when many moments begin to catch sight, which is almost impossible to see at the first viewing. "Sixth Sense" is a picture with a double bottom, which makes it so interesting and attractive to the audience.

The actors ("The Sixth Sense") are chosen in a surprisingly harmonious way, which gives the film a convincing realism.

Once, in the home of child psychiatrist Malcolm Crowe, who just received the award for outstanding achievements, his former adult patient breaks in. In all his troubles and failures, he blames the doctor, and then shoots him.

A year later, Crowe was interested in the case of a nine-year-old Cole, whose symptoms recall the patient's anamnesis. The psychiatrist tries not only to help the boy, but also to understand, in what he made a mistake when working with Vincent Gray, who attacked him.

The problem of Cole is that he sees dead people. Peers consider the boy strange and treat him, and frightened by the visions of his son, the mother tries to help. Throughout the film, Crowe is next to the boy and hopes that this time he will be able to find the cause of Cole's fears and help his little patient. In the last 10 minutes, the viewer will receive an exhaustive answer about some of the film's oddities and the inhibition of a self-absorbed and mortally frightened boy.

Characters and artists of the film

The actors ("The Sixth Sense") were selected carefully. Many of them had to make efforts to play their roles. So, left-hander Bruce Willis had to learn how to write with his right hand, so that the audience did not notice the absence on his left arm of the wedding ring. Donnie Wahlberg had even worse - for the role of a psycho, the former patient Malcolm Crowe, he lost a lot of weight.

Bruce Willis

The role of the child psychiatrist in the film "The Sixth Sense" brought the declining career of the actor to a new round of popularity. The picture helped to improve the financial situation - for this role, Willis received $ 100 million.

Tony Collett

The Australian actress played in the film Lynn Sier, the mother of young Cole. This role earned her a nomination for an Oscar. The last of the works of Tony Collette in the movie is the horror of "Krampus", in which she played the mother of the family, who hosted relatives at Christmas home.

Olivia Williams performed in the mystical thriller "The Sixth Sense" the role of the wife of Malcolm Crowe, Anna. Her character is almost silent throughout the film, but plays a very important role in understanding what is happening to the protagonist. Looking through the thriller a second time, many of the moments connected with Crow and his wife become understandable. The last of the works of the actress is participation in the fantasy action movie "The Seventh Son". Of the most interesting paintings, which starred Olivia Williams, it is worth noting the political thriller "Ghost".

Misha Barton played in the thriller episodic, but one of the most terrible and memorable scenes - the ghost of the girl Kira Collins, coming to Cole.

Trevor Morgan, like Hayley Joel Osment, starred in the "Sixth Sense" at a very young age. He already had a good experience of shooting. In the thriller Trevor Morgan played a very small role - the school buddy of the protagonist, Tommy Tammisimo. About him Cole mentions briefly in conversation with a psychiatrist.

The most famous works of the actor were paintings "Jurassic Park 3" and the thriller "Glass House".

Donald Wahlberg played in the thriller "The Sixth Sense" by Vincent Gray, a former patient Dr. Crowe. For spectators, he is known for the role of detective Eric Matthews in several films from the horror series "Saw". Another famous work Wahlberg - the role of an alien Dudditsa, who arrived on Earth, to save her from conquest by other aliens. Donald - the elder brother of Mark Wahlberg, who more than he succeeded in acting career.

Haley Joel Osment - a young actor with high expectations

Appearing in advertising at the age of 5, Haley was seen by director Robert Zemeckis. He invited the boy to participate in the film "Forrest Gump." After such a start, the young actor began to receive numerous proposals, but he fully revealed his outstanding actor's talent in such films as "Sixth Sense", "Pay Another" and "Artificial Intelligence". Osment approached casting for the role of Cole very seriously - he completely read the script three times and appeared for tests in a tie.

The growth did not affect the actor better. After "Artificial Intelligence" he acted in 8 more scenes, which did not arouse much interest among the audience.

Perception of the film

The film was so inspired by critics that it was nominated for 6 Oscars, but as a result, it did not receive a single statuette. Nevertheless, the film is among the best thrillers and continues to delight new audiences with a stunning ending and a filigree script, which has only a few frightening moments, but the film keeps all two hours of screen time on its own.

An important role played and selected for the thriller actors. "The Sixth Sense" is a great duo of Bruce Willis, who has moved away from the usual role of super heroes and looks tired in his baggy clothes and the young then Haile Joel Osment, who played well before the death of a frightened child.

"The Sixth Sense" and the 2000 Oscar Award

The director M. Night Shyamalana's picture was nominated for six Oscar awards. Although the film never received a single treasured figurine, the "Sixth Sense" is one of the top ten mystical thrillers of all time and people and is invariably in the lead in the rating of paintings with an unexpected denouement.

The Oscar 2000 award in the nomination "The Best Film" went to the painting "American Beauty". However, at the solemn awards ceremony, actor Michael Kane, who won the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, warmly responded about his young rival, Haley Joel Osment, noting the undoubted talent of the latter.

Interesting fact: who voices Bruce Willis in the "Sixth Sense"?

The famous actor in Russian dubbing often speaks with the voice of Vadim Andreev. But very few people know that in the thriller "Sixth Sense" Bruce Willis voiced another eminent Russian actor - Mikhail Porechenkov.

Conclusion

Despite the lengthy narrative and lack of dynamics, "Sixth Sense" is one of the best psychological thrillers shot in the last 20 years. The film looks in one breath, and the unexpected ending, explaining the essence of what is happening throughout the whole picture, is masterpiece.
