The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan (2004)
Does truth really mean s**t?
All right. So it's fictional. Is that really relevant?
If one thing about Shyamalan comes through in his work, it is a desire to open the minds of his audience, however briefly, to something practically everything else in our culture tells us is impossible. He seems fond of using popular themes in relatively new ways, just as this film describes phenomena which certainly could and doubtless have happened to other people. (And how I feel for those people, who must keep their mouths shut or risk becoming pariahs.)
Consider it another feather in his cap. A great marketing ploy as well.
I'm surprised at the number of comments a certain few have written solely to proclaim, "It's a fake! You're all idiots!" Rather obsessive. To them I say, who wants to be trapped in the sterile, magic less world of logic all the time? Go with the storyline. Terrible acting doesn't always mean having nothing genuine to say.
I think that insistence on 'proof' often closes the mind to remarkable experiences.
