Chatter & Chunter - Movies of Sixth Sense Director Allegedly Autobiographical
The following shows on TV are quite interesting as they enthrall both the intellect and the imagination.
The Buried Secret Of M. Night Shyamalan A photograph with a blurred outline and an inexplicable glare, the drawing of a boy in outdated trousers and shirt sporting a lopsided stare, a quiet and shy schoolboy… All these details can be mistaken as being lifted from the movie Sixth Sense, but reporter Nathaniel Kahn proposes that these are actually proof that M. Night Shyamalan is not a mere human being, but a chosen one who has been endowed with powers beyond the mere mortal.
Other details include a clean track record in school regarding any reported sickness (reminiscent of Unbreakable), a hidden two-year period wherein Mr. Kahn discovers that Night lived in a farmhouse that eerily looked exactly like the same abode of the beleaguered family in Signs, the suggestion that Night’s particular familiar, instead of the usual cat, is a crow who follows him everywhere, an image in a mirror that was inside an empty room, and the most intriguing of all, the alleged drowning of Night in a frozen over pond and his clinical death for 35 minutes.
Catch the last two screenings on HBO 23 Oct 2005 9:45 AM and 29 Oct 2005 2:45 PM, and decide for yourself what Night’s epithet should be–director or shaman.
The Medium Starring Patricia Arquette, who recently won an Emmy for her acting in the series, the story focuses on how a mother with the ability to see a person’s past or future, including the living and the dead (an adult version of the Haley Joel Osment character in Sixth Sense), has made her a secret weapon in the DA’s office. She is constantly assigned to make sense of crime scenes, and her conversations/visions with the deceased murder victims are passed off as tips to the proper authorities, who will then investigate further. This show is on RPN 9 every Thursday at 8pm.
Medical Investigation My weak immune system has forced me to be more careful than the usual individual, and I feel vindicated as this show illustrates how microscopic organisms can be deadly and how they can be transferred so easily from one person to another.
The show’s piece de resistance is the visualization of the thought-logic process the Medical Investigation team uses to find out the cause of what’s ailing the requisite sick individuals who usually set up the story’s main conflict. It airs every Wednesday 9pm on Star World and Saturday 7pm on RPN 9.
Dr. House Taking a comedic turn on the thought-logic process, the unrestrained and irascible Dr. House spouts and tries theory after theory until he, together with his team, crack a baffling medical case wide open just like a crime case, interspersed with lighter fare to take the edge off the more serious case. Dr. House is shown on AXN every Tuesday at 10pm.
