The Sixth Sense – 10 Years Later
Thursday, August 6th, 2009 by SpecterHas it really been 10 years?
Since M. Night Shyamalan, a 29-year-old prodigy, released the now classic film The Sixth Sense in 1999, it has been the subject of parody and the film to which everyone compares each of his own subsequent films. Whenever a film with a twist comes out, people reference this one. It is, quite possibly, the greatest twist ending that a film as ever had. Audience after audience left stunned. People were unwilling to tell anyone else what the ending entailed, as they wanted their friends to see a great film, and be enamored by a director that no one had ever heard of, telling a story unlike any other.
The Sixth Sense became a cultural phenomenon. And now, ten years later, I can still watch it and enjoy the careful direction, the precise film making, and the strong dialog that still echoes in my head. This was the film that truly launched a career and took the world by storm. It’s no wonder that it found it’s way onto AFI’s updated 100 movies / 100 years list for its’ 10th anniversary, coming in at #89.
M. Night Shyamalan’s 39th Birthday!
Thursday, August 6th, 2009 by SpecterM. Night Shyamalan was born in Mah, Pondicherry, India on the 6th day of August in 1970. He was later raised in the Penn Valley area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Coming from a long line of doctors, Night wondered off the family path and into film-making. At the age of 29, exactly 10 years ago, his first wide-release film, The Sixth Sense, opened to great reviews and stupendous word of mouth. The film went on to gross $293 million dollars in the U.S. and almost $675 million world-wide. Landing at the second highest gross of the year, and as one of the highest grosses of all-time, the success of The Sixth Sense catapulted M. Night Shyamalan to the top of Hollywood.
Now 10 years later he is working on what he has called his Lord of the Rings: The Last Airbender.
All of the fans here at MNightFans.com would like to wish M. Night Shyamalan a Happy 39th Birthday, and many more years of success! Congratulations, M. Night, on an amazing first 10 years in the mainstream. Though it’s had it’s ups and downs, and though many people don’t look past the surface level at most of your films, we do, and we appreciate each of them more with every viewing. We look forward to the next 10 years, as we spend time on the world on which The Last Airbender trilogy takes place. (We know it’s not our Earth, the animals give that much away.)

“Then a few years later I was out at this place in Hollywood and M. Night Shyamalan walked up and said hello.
