AFF: Movie #3

Let’s take a break from reality…and journey into a fairy tale.

Lady in the Water

This is one of my favorite films by one of my favorite writer/director’s: M. Night Shyamalan.
The plot of the film comes from a Bedtime Story that he would tell to his daughters.
Unfortunately, many people are very critical of this director, and this film in particular.
Few can argue, however, that his films have a message and many creative ideas.
Many people also think of this director as a horror movie director.
This is certainly not true.
His films are not horror films. They are stories about real people in extraordinary situations.
They are part-fantasy, part-reality, part-comedy, part-thriller,
and all heart.
Lastly, I don’t recommend watching the long trailer/preview, as it makes it look like a scary movie.
Instead, watch the first trailer/teaser, which is more subtle, poetic, and interesting:

    It really is a shame that this didnt get the credit it deserved. I thought it was far and away better than even the most positive review I had heard about it. We need more Shyamalans and less Ratners out there. Not that Brett Ratner isn’t good at what he does, but we get too much of that anyway.
