Welcome to my first-time watching Signs (2002) an incredible film filled with suspense, science fiction, mystery, and family drama directed by M. Nights Shyamalan.
The story of "Signs" follows former priest Graham Hess, played by Mel Gibson, as he discovers mysterious crop circles on his farm, leading to a chilling realization that extraterrestrial forces may be at play.
The way that Shyamalan imbues all of his characters with a strong objective and purpose makes these characters feel grounded and makes his unique take on the alien invasion trope that much more engaging.
The performances all of the actors gave but especially Mel Gibson (Graham Hess) and Joaquin Phoenix as Merrill Hess. They had an incredible dynamic on screen.
We hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussion as we delve deep into the themes and its incredible cinematography that fills the frame with atmosphere.
So sit back, relax and let's discuss what made Signs a staple of the genre!

When his daughter asks, "There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?" actually makes a lot of sense in light of the revelation of the alien's weakness being water. In another context, it would seem like the little girl already knew their weakness and was asking for a weapon. Really subtle scriptwriting there

@MatthewStephensAU 6 месяцев назад

50:40 You get it! You got the point! Over and over, I see people complain that the aliens invaded a planet full of water. but that's not the point. This movie isn't about an alien invasion. It's about faith. The boy has asthma. So the poison doesn't get into his lungs. The brother who couldn't stop himself from swinging as hard as he could, so there's a baseball bat readily mounted on the wall, but he's not off with the National League. We've got a girl who cannot finish a glass of water, for reasons that don't make sense to anyone, so there's weapons all over the room. And we have the last words: "Tell Merril to swing away." "See, the question you have to ask yourself is: Do you see coincidences, or miracles?" The father was a Priest, who decided he didn't believe when something terrible happened, but when the 'long shots' added up, he saw a miracle, because it couldn't be a coincidence anymore. M. Night's best movies are ones where every scene, every line, has four layers that build to the final act.

Apparently M Night wanted to make the creatures demons, but the producers asked him to change them to aliens because they were easier to market. It would of made more sense, the girl with her 'holy' water and Mel Gibson being a Reverend for example. He also wanted the film to have absolutely no music, but obviously changed his mind.

Signs is one of my earliest film memories. I'm so glad Ari enjoyed it as much as we did who grew up with this film. It goes without saying that M. Night is a master of his craft. Everything about this film was done perfectly, from the acting to the audio and the camera work to the script. M. Night truly out did himself with Signs. Arguably one of the best films from the 2000s. The ending itself is so epic there are literally no words I can use to describe it and do it justice. I also love how Ari brought up being able to logic things out. The human brain is wired in a way where we by instinct attempt to use logic to explain why things happen. With films like Signs as well as other supernatural films we see this as well...where sometimes we aren't able to explain things in a way that is considered logical.

The dialogue is written incredibly well and I love his style when it comes to how he directs. I loved how they gave us two main perspectives throughout as the mystery slowly unfolded. We weren't truly sure of what was real and what was not until further in and that truly had me engaged! Such a fantastic film!

I second this. The Village is a masterpiece where so many found it to be a joke. I feel bad for the people missing out. The Village wasn't a horror film; it was a great love story cloaked by the prior successes of M. Night's thrillers with the expectation of it being the same. Sure you have the tension of the "creatures" etc. but The Village is another realm of brilliance. Give it a try and don't go into it wearing "Sixth Sense" glasses.

M Night Shyamalan lives in Pennsylvania. He likes being close to his family and coming home each day when he's working. For this reason, all his films are shot in Pennsylvania. My understanding is that the first day of shooting for this film was 9/11. NYC is basically in Pennsylvania's front yard, plus one of the hijacked planes was brought down by those on board, crash landing in a field in Pennsylvania. This event cast a shadow over the filming that lasted well after the memorial service held that morning after learning of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The day Shyamalan shot the scene of Ray escaping in the car, Shyamalan's beloved grandfather, had very recently passed away. The loss sat heavy on him and influenced his acting in the scene. Yes, Bo was special; she was psychic, having impressions and prophetic dreams. But the mother was also psychic; she recognized this in her daughter and had dreamed of what her son would look like.

well another plausible explanation for "swing away" is because merl was a famous ball player who not only had hit records he also has the record for the most strike outs.

@HannahP-hu1jm День назад

I've always loved the symmetry of Graham and Morgan in this movie! They're both very serious people and grieving in similar ways. When Morgan says during dinner, "I hate you, you let Mom die," later, Graham says to God, "I hate you." And then, while Morgan is struggling to breathe, Graham says to him, "We're the same. We're the same." ❤

I love watching your reactions because you both feel so genuine. Thanks for everything you share! I'm a huge M. Night fan and Signs is one of the better movies of his. That being said, my number one favorite is Unbreakable, and IMO, it's his absolute best movie, but it is very unrecognized and underappreciated. I really really would love to see your reactions to it ❤

Thank you so much for the massive compliment! It means the world to both of us! Signs was such a fantastic choice. It started strong and ended the same way.

M. Night Shyamalan is the most wrongfully criticized and under-appreciated director. He is brave and creative and doesn't follow templates/recipes. That alone with worth respecting. on top of that, he makes masterpiece works of storytelling and atmosphere. Check out Lady in the Water - a seriously underrated and misunderstood film. It's a modern day classic fantasy adventure (Tolkien to comic adventure/anime adventure and all in between), using a modern setting and modern characters/professions/lifestyles but as if each was destined to greatness despite their ordinary nature. A modern folk tale story with an adventure troup collected from a modern urban setting. Very creative and atmospheric.

I don't care what anyone says, this movie is amazing! It's subtle, the score is amazing, the family dynamic is amazing and touches on some serious issues, the visual effects were great for their time, and it has such a great ending!! The fact that the aliens are weak to water doesn't mean they're stupid. It very well could have been that they came from a world that didn't have water or they didn't know what it would do to them. They may have also been incredibly desperate and chose to come regardless of the risks. People don't think things through anymore. Also, they started filming this movie with the flashback scene between Graham and his wife on September 11, 2001. Talk about a tough day at work.

The movie is about priest’s resurgence of belief. The aliens are demons, the girl is an angel who blesses the water by sipping a little bit from each glass. They get destroyed by holy water. Remember when father said when she was before ladies called her “an Angel” and she smiled at him.

@bovasi 4 дня назад

The genus of this movie is how M. Night Shyamalan wants you to disbelieve. It's like you keep questioning whether there really is an alien invasion going on and not just a hoax. I think that's what makes the movie so scary. When we get the glimpses of the aliens, it's not the leg or hand per se that makes you jump and shiver; it's the confirmation that it's for real. That instantly cast us into the unknown. Who are they? What are they? What do they want? The fear of the unknown is not to be underestimated and M. Night Shyamalan is using it brilliantly in this movie.

ALso remember when I said that Gibson got acting job years later after the Lethal Weapon 1, bc of that opening scene with going trough the suicide toughs? M.Night S. said later that when he got in business in Hollywood, he said after watching trhe scene, "I want to work with this actor". Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable is the directors holy trinity imo. FYI I love Marvel and Batman and so on, but my really favorite superhero movie is Unbreakable. Show power without show off or even show us basically nothing and still feel the power in Bruce was a joy and love to watch :)

I love that the "Aliens" have more in kin to Demons than they do Aliens. Bo's alluded to being an Angel, and therefore she's blessing all the water that she's drank from and that's why it really hurt the Aliens and it's alluded to the solution isn't just "water" because why not just say that on the TV? Like you mentioned about the other "Signs" that have happened. Also crop circles can be made by two people with a plank of wood and rope, hilariously. It's extremely easy to make them funnily enough.

This is M Night's best, imo! None of his other work has hit as hard as this one. It's always been my theory that both the mom and daughter are clairvoyant. Bo had her moments too... like voting to go to the lake and all of her many cups of water everywhere.
