How does the director appeal to the emotions of the viewers in the Sixth Sense In the film the Sixth Sense a young boy named Cole has paranormal contact with the dead. He can see things that other people cannot, namely the ghosts of the dead walking around him. The scene which I have chosen to analyse to answer my title is the scene where he is at school and brings up facts about what used to go there like people being hanged and eventually he erupts at this former pupil now teacher who used to have the nickname Stuttering Stanley.

My first choice has to be the "Road to Perdition", with its unique and eccentric shootout scene, without a doubt it has to be my review topper. Trust Sam Mendez to conjure the unexpected. Paul Newman along with his body guards depart from a café and into an eerie, rain bombarded street, dark and threatening with only dim street lamps as a light source. Paul Newman and his guards are all wearing long black coats and the general gangster uniform. There is a long camera shot of them walking towards their vehicle, with their umbrellas. The camera zooms into the window of Paul Newman's vehicle where the audience watch the drivers face fall into the steering wheel. He had been shot! This dramatic change in atmosphere is quickly revealed with the camera zooming out rapidly, replicating the tempo of this scene. A mysterious, ghostly flashing light emerges from the darkness. The camera quickly moves from the light and into the faces of Paul Newman's body guards, again mirroring the speed of the scene. A guard dramatically falls to the floor. Shocking! This is where Sam Mendez is separated from the rest; he is the only director who would take out gunshots, to succeed in creating a strong sense of mystery and confusion within the audience, to build up this dreamlike effect with haunting, repetitive and slow music mixed with the pounding of the rain. A genius's touch. Sam
