影视赏析论文

影片的一开始，身为儿童心理治疗师的麦坎就被自己十年之前曾经放弃治疗的患者枪击，之后这个青年也因为绝望吞枪自尽。而后，镜头跨越了三年时光，这时的麦坎找到了一个与当年枪击自己的患者情况类似的病历，想要挽回遗憾。这个新的治疗对象就是影片中的另一位主人公，9岁的小男孩cole,他们之间的故事就这样开始，一切顺理成章。

影片在两个人，在医生与病人式的相互试探、彼此揣摩中发展，中间穿插了为数不多的几个幽灵现身的恐怖镜头，但是因为 多年前就有看过这部影片的一个片段，也就是房屋横梁上有三个吊死鬼的镜头，以为影片中一定大量充斥着类似的恐怖视觉特效，在观看时有心理准备，反而感觉影片中的幽灵都很平淡无奇，甚至萦绕着无奈与疏离，这也许就是影片所想营造的效果。

很想用?两个人的孤独?来形容这部影片，虽然最后男孩找到了属于自己的生

活和快乐，但是最终他也许还是孤独的，“你想要什么？”“我想要不再害怕……”

我们应该都是如此，或者说曾经如此。在与世界的隔阂中成长，畏惧着、若有所思着、渴望帮助而又无从找寻。

男孩拥有天生的?鬼眼?，在麦坎终于通过真诚的努力与执着的认真打开他心灵封锁的时候，他愁容满面的对麦坎说：“我可以看到死人”、“他们不知道他们已经死了，他们像我们一样的走来走去，只能看到他们想看的东西”，之后如释重负的睡去。在孩童时代年少而懵懂的我们有过多少不愿为人诉说的秘密？我们视若珍宝或者坚信不疑之时却永远无法得到成年人的认可。麦坎当然也无法相信这些，他认为男孩也许需要更系统的治疗。

转机出现在麦坎收听以前的治疗录音的时候，他居然听见录音带的空白处有人在不停的呼喊：“我不想死！”。而当他终于相信并回到男孩身边之后，他们完成了男孩作为灵媒的第一次行动，他们帮助一个刚刚死去的女孩揭露了凶手，而男孩也终于找回了自己、不再害怕，回归了属于自己的童年欢乐。

一切豁然开朗，告别再所难免，在男孩参加完一次舞台剧的演出之后，他的脸第一次挂上了童贞而轻松的笑容。他对麦坎说：“我们不会再见了吧？我们可以假装明天明天还会见面。”麦坎微笑着说：“明天见。”而此时的我们也难免带上了些伤感，他们要分别了，而我们也似乎告别了一些什么，这是一些什么呢？淡淡的，却始终无法说得清楚……

突然想起在麦坎对男孩的治疗遇到瓶颈的时候，他矜持而艰难的对男孩说：“我帮不了你了，我想要再和妻子说话，我想要回到自己从前的生活。”男孩认真而悲伤的流泪：“你不相信我对吗？你不相信我，要怎么帮我？”，男孩将那枚麦坎为逗他开心而在滑稽魔术中使用的硬币重推到麦坎跟前，用一只孤独而一往无前的小手，他倔强的说：“有些魔术是真的……”。他们那两双忧伤的蓝眼睛彼此纠缠而难以割舍，我仿佛看到了一个孩子对成人世界的无畏与依赖和一个成人对孩子的尊重与至诚。

在影片的最后，男孩与自己的母亲紧紧相拥，泪水也在刹那涌现，我们为亲情所感染…… 而麦坎也找到了真正属于自己世界……在他的结婚戒指自熟睡中妻子手上滑落的一刻，他疾步朝后退去、向着深渊、向着未知退去，影片也在此刻达到高潮。就如汹涌的洪水顷刻奔涌来，麦坎惊异的发现：自己在一年前其实就已经死了，他回想起男孩的话，回忆起自己受枪击死亡的瞬间，一幕幕的语言与镜头穿插切割而过，他难以置信、他愤怒、他悲哀，然而最终他还是接受了。

当他平静的坐在深爱的妻子身旁，他知道永恒的别离近在眼前，难言的苦痛此刻就在心中流转。 他说：“亲爱的，我要走了……我之所以还在，也许是因为我要帮一个人。” “好好睡吧，明天早上一切都会有一个暂新的开始。” 妻子在熟睡中微笑：“晚安，麦坎” “晚安”……也许，在看完影片之后，我们都要问一句：我们都还在活着吗？亦或是只在看到我们想看的？真正需要帮助的究竟是自己还别人呢？在麦坎说也许他还在是为了要帮助一个人的时候，他指的究

竟是自己还是男孩呢？

 

第二篇：灵异第六感英文影评

"The Sixth Sense" isn't a thriller in the modern sense, but more of a ghost story of the sort that flourished years ago, when ordinary people glimpsed hidden dimensions. It has long been believed that children are better than adults at seeing ghosts; the barriers of skepticism and disbelief are not yet in place. In this film, a small boy solemnly tells his psychologist, "I see dead people. They want me to do things for them." He seems to be correct.

The psychologist is Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis), who is shot one night in his home by an intruder, a man who had been his patient years earlier and believes he was wrongly treated. The man then turns the gun on himself. "The next fall," as the subtitles tell us, we see Crowe mended in body but perhaps not in spirit, as he takes on a new case, a boy named Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who exhibits some of the same problems as the patient who shot at him. Maybe this time he can get it right. The film shows us things adults do not see. When Cole's mother (Toni Collette) leaves the kitchen for just a second and comes back in the room, all of the doors and drawers are open. At school, he tells his teacher "they used to hang people here." When the teacher wonders how Cole could possibly know things like that, he

helpfully tells him, "when you were a boy they called you Stuttering Stanley." It is Crowe's task to reach this boy and heal him, if healing is indeed what he needs. Perhaps he is calling for help; he knows the Latin for "from out of the depths I cry into you, oh Lord!" Crowe doesn't necessarily believe the boy's stories, but Crowe himself is suffering, in part because his wife, once so close, now seems to be drifting into an affair and doesn't seem to hear him when he talks to her. The boy tells him, "talk to her when she's asleep. That's when she'll hear you." Using an "as if" approach to therapy, Crowe asks Cole, "What do you think the dead people are trying to tell you?" This is an excellent question, seldom asked in ghost stories, where the heroes are usually so egocentric they think the ghosts have gone to all the trouble of

appearing simply so they can see them. Cole has some ideas. Crowe wonders whether the ideas aren't sound even if there aren't really ghosts.

Bruce Willis often finds himself in fantasies and science fiction films. Perhaps he fits easily into them because he is so down to earth. He rarely seems ridiculous, even when everything else in the screen is absurd (see "Armageddon"), because he never over-reaches; he usually plays his characters flat and matter of fact. Here there is a poignancy in his bewilderment. The film opens with the mayor presenting him with a citation, and that moment precisely marks the beginning of his professional decline. He goes down with a sort of doomed dignity.

Haley Joel Osment, his young co-star, is a very good actor in a film where his

character possibly has more lines than anyone else. He's in most of the scenes, and he has to act in them--this isn't a role for a cute kid who can stand there and look solemn in reaction shots. There are fairly involved dialogue passages between Willis and Osment that require good timing, reactions and the ability to listen. Osment is more than equal to them. And although the tendency is to notice how good he is, not every

adult actor can play heavy dramatic scenes with a kid and not seem to condescend (or, even worse, to be subtly coaching and leading him). Willis can. Those scenes give the movie its weight and make it as convincing as, under the circumstances, it can possibly be.

I have to admit I was blind-sided by the ending. The solution to many of the film's puzzlements is right there in plain view, and the movie hasn't cheated, but the very boldness of the storytelling carried me right past the crucial hints and right through to the end of the film, where everything takes on an intriguing new dimension. The film was written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, whose previous film, "Wide Awake," was also about a little boy with a supernatural touch; he mourned his dead grandfather, and demanded an explanation from God. I didn't think that one worked. "The Sixth Sense" has a kind of calm, sneaky self-confidence that allows it to take us down a strange path, intriguingly.
