It has nothing to do with nothing (except maybe the fact that it's a week away from Halloween, hahahurr it's a coincidence I tell you), but I've been mad at myself for a while about one very stupid thing: I watched the Sixth Sense, and the twist ending went completely over my head until I accidentally spoiled myself on it years later.
SPOILERS BELOW FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT AND ACTUALLY GIVE A CRAP ABOUT SPOILERS
-> Seriously, I somehow managed to completely miss that the guy was dead. Like, I watched the whole damned thing, and I couldn't tell that he was dead. The fucking story was about a boy who could see dead people, and I didn't notice that the guy that only the boy interacted with was finking dead are you serious younger me? Seriously?
Granted, I was young when I watched this movie. I can't remember how young, but I was old enough to make a modicum of sense out of the more mature movies that didn't cater to kids. And granted, the way the story plays out is meant to trick you. Crowe doesn't know he's dead, and this is Crowe's story. BUT THEY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN THE END. HE WAS FUCKING SHOT IN THE BEGINNING. My younger self must have been popping Nyquil pills that day, cause I somehow managed to spoil myself on a movie I'd already watched who even DOES that? It's one thing to look up explanations of an ending you didn't understand, but it's a whole other realm to spoil yourself on the twist cause you didn't even get that there was a twist I'm so done. <-
*sighs* Rant over. Comment and/or carry on with your lives.
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.
