Question

Summarizing metaphysics in film. Provide a summary and explain the metaphysical concepts found in the film, the Sixth Sense.

Answer 1

Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a successful child therapist/psychologist who, in the beginning of the movie, has his life altered after one of his former patients breaks into his house, shoots him in the stomach and then commits suicide in front of Crowe and his wife. The movie fades out and we return to Dr. Crowe, embarking on a new project with 9-year old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) that he believes will vindicate his previous failure. From then on, The Sixth Sense leads its viewer through a genuinely interesting relationship between Dr. Crowe and Cole, where, at the price of losing his relationship with his wife, Crowe finds out that Cole is haunted by his ability to see dead people roaming around in his everyday world. In the last five minutes of the movie, it is revealed that Dr. Crowe was killed in the first scene with his former patient, and that he has been interacting with Cole as a ghost for the entire movie
