I now see why this movie was the talk of the year! I did not see it in the movies, but pre-ordered the DVD and just watched it with my husband. With the ending, we both just looked at each other! After talking about the scenes and analyzing....the bottom line is, DIRECTION, DIRECTION, DIRECTION. Mr. Shaylaman's unraveling of one of a future masterpiece will surely be copied. And thank you Mr. Willis for giving the movie to Haley Joel Osment, even though he did not win an oscar, this kid will surely be one to watch in the future.
