In the version of "Sixth Sense" that Hugo is familiar with, Bruce Willis played Malcolm, Hayley Joe Osment played Cole, and Toni Colette played Mother Lynn.

The great success of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the three actors, because the story itself is full of rich emotions. In the absence of a complete story line, it is more connected by emotional ups and downs. Throughout the film, the performance of the actors also maintains the quality of the finished product, which is somewhat similar to "before sunrise".

Among the three actors, Toni is an outstanding actor active in the field of independent film. Before the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", she relied on this "Muriel's Wedding ('s. to win Australia. Academy Award, and also shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy. Later, Toni was best known for her wonderful performances in "Little Sunshine Beauty", and won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award by relying on the TV series "Inverted Life (s. of. tara.

Toni is the kind of actor who has not made a big hit, but has made a big difference with her solid and outstanding acting skills. She rarely appears in commercial blockbusters. Almost all of her works are independently produced works. Nakamise's profound performance method has been compared with Julianne Moore by many people.

In the "sixth sense of the supernatural." Toni's performance is very good, fully showing a mother who is struggling but who loves her child wholeheartedly. In fact, the space given to Toni in the movie is very limited, but she still showed her performance that received countless praises in the future. This film not only won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Toni. And it became her stepping stone to Hollywood.

Haley is undoubtedly the biggest discovery in the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural". The child star who once played the role of Forrest Gump in the "Forrest Gump" shows Cole's struggling but fragile, dazed but firm traits. Incisively and vividly, especially Cole's effort to keep positive eyes surrounded by fear, moved every audience, and almost all the emotional outbursts of the entire movie became persuasive under Hailey's interpretation.

Now Hailey is an actor under Endeavour Elite Agency. Hugo and Hailey previously collaborated on "Independence Day." I saw the infinite potential of this little guy, his spirituality and savvy can be called outstanding among child stars. Many film critics referred to his performance in "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" as "The Best of Child Stars", which shows that he is highly respected.

Relying on the outstanding performance of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", Hayley not only won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, but also almost focused the weight and focus of the entire movie on him-it is worth noting. He is a supporting actor, not a leading actor, but after watching the movie, many people will have an illusion: Cole is the protagonist of the movie. Including Hugo himself.

On the one hand it is indeed because of Haley's outstanding performance, but on the other hand it is because Malcolm failed to meet expectations.

Bruce played the role of Malcolm. First of all, he must affirm his interpretation of this role. This is also one of the important links to the success of the film, but it is a pity that Bruce's ability is limited. Did not really dig out the meaning of Malcolm's role.

Just like Brad Pitt's performance in the "Seven Deadly Sins", the role has a lot of room to play, and he is the absolute number one actor. But in the process of deduction, Brad failed to truly interpret the role, just completing the task in a satisfactory manner, without errors, but also not brilliant. Therefore, in the "seven deadly sins" all the light was robbed by the Wumingshi-the same. Cole was the one who left the deepest impression in the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality".

In Bruce's career, he has never been an actor known for his acting skills. More is to win people's love as an action actor. The "Die Hard" series is his famous work. But in fact, Bruce still has a certain degree of acting skills. He once made a guest appearance in "Friends" and won an Emmy Award.

Bruce is very suitable for interpreting the downcast man in a mid-life crisis. He can show the weakness and embarrassment hidden by ordinary men, but unfortunately, Bruce's interpretive ability is limited-not to the extent of facial paralysis, and not far away. , He can only show the loneliness, depression and fragility of the down-and-out middle-aged, and it is easy to float on the surface, unable to conduct more delicate excavations. In fact, in "Die Hard", Bruce played the image of such a middle-aged man, and when this image became popular, he appeared in almost any work in this image, which shows the limitations of Bruce. .

In the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality", the reason why the audience's sense of substitution is so strong is because Malcolm himself is also a man suffering from a middle-age crisis. His painful past and family crisis left him in a state of confusion. Therefore, the overall image of Bruce fits perfectly. At the same time, Bruce also showed Malcolm's fragility, which is enough to advance the story.

This makes people have a good impression of Bruce in the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural".

Hugo used to be the same. When he watched the movie, he thought that the role of Malcolm was limited to this-as if watching the "Seven Deadly Sins", he would never think that the role of Mills was challenging. But after changing the perspective, Hugo discovered that the role of Malcolm is far more difficult than Cole.

To put it simply, what Cole needs to show is his inner fear and loss. Haley has fully demonstrated this trait and injected a distressing vulnerability into the character, which blooms from the depths of the child’s heart. The simplicity of it easily touched the hearts of the audience. As an eleven-year-old actor, Hailey’s performance is indeed amazing, but the development curve of the role itself is relatively simple.

But Malcolm is different. First of all, he is from the perspective of an adult. He is responsible for leading the audience into this story. Therefore, the process of getting along with Cole—starts cautiously, gradually approaches, and tries to solve it from the perspective of a psychiatrist. Cole, then slowly believed in Cole, and tried to help Cole understand that the existence of Yin and Yang eyes is not a harm, but a means to help others, and finally stood with Cole, infinitely close to the heart of this child .

In this process, Malcolm's many emotional changes, such as caution, temptation, understanding, change, sympathy, and care, are the key factors that determine the audience's experience of the movie. In Bruce’s version of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", the audience’s emotions are led by Cole, not Malcolm, which makes the film too sensational. Many emotions come from sympathy for children, not from adults. The perspective, aftertaste and reflection of the world are greatly weakened, which also affects the possibility of the work reaching a higher level.

Secondly, Malcolm himself is also responsible for the complexities of society. In fact, in the whole story of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", it is not just the story of "a child has yin and yang eyes", it explores the fear of human beings from the heart. .

The most direct thing is actually the relationship between Lynn and Cole. Lynn loves her son deeply, but she has no way to understand Cole’s so-called yin and yang eyes. More often, she just thinks it is her son’s cranky thinking, even There will also be rejection. Cole is the same in his daily life, no one can understand him, and no one can accompany him, which makes him even more lonely and lonely in the world of ghosts.

This kind of fear comes from all sides, fear of change, fear of loneliness, fear of becoming alien, fear of unknown, fear of mediocrity... This is the shackles in everyone's heart. More often people choose to yield and escape. Only then has the social problem deduced in the "seven deadly sins" emerged—indifference makes society worse and worse. The "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" gave his own solution-or the solution that Knight thought. "Affection", family affection, friendship and love, let emotions become the bond between people, and go hand in hand. Face those fears and overcome those fears.

The process of Cole and Malcolm from temptation to trust is precisely the bond of emotion; and Lynn's unconditional love for Cole has become the driving force for Cole to become brave; at the same time, the struggle between Malcolm and his wife And wandering is a problem that every family must face, and it is also the source of motivation for everyone to fight for.

It can be said that Malcolm bears the core of this important movie-this and the first point also echo each other, because this is the aftertaste and reflection triggered by the adult perspective, and it is also Knight’s understanding of family and emotions. According to the role setting and the connotation of the script, people should not only be moved by Cole after watching the movie, but should be reflected on themselves with empathy to cause further thought; but It is a pity that Bruce has not been able to show this emotional intimacy and fetters, making the "sixth sense of supernatural" stop only at Lynn and Cole's mother-child relationship, and the movie's stamina came to an abrupt end.

Malcolm is a very challenging character. As Knight said, he carries the connotation and depth of the whole movie, which determines whether the movie is just a sensational movie that makes people tears, or deep after tears. A classic that echoes deeply. Bruce's performance is worthy of recognition, but his ability is limited, but he has not been able to truly interpret Malcolm.

The performance skills, the detailed carving, the ability to interpret, Bruce's fatal flaws led to the same result as Brad's "Seven Deadly Sins". A masterpiece is a masterpiece, but it's a breath away from the handed down classics.

When Hugo read the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" script, he carefully tasted the differences, but he didn't sort out his thoughts clearly. Today, Knight unveiled the whole core thoughts. This impressed Hugo, because in Hugo's memory, Knight was not a director who had too much caring about the role. Most of his later works were horror films or commercial blockbusters. Hugo originally thought it was Knight. The lack of understanding of one's own script led to the loss of the core idea of ​​"Sixth Sense of Supernatural".

But now it does not seem to be the case. (To be continued)
