Dan SinkerI think about the ending of Roger Ebert’s 2004 review of M Night Shyamalan’s The Village on a regular basis. It is a perfect piece of writing. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-village-2004
decitect@dansinker @gruber the disappointment truly comes through
thejikz@dansinker I can't remember, but were aircraft ever explained?
dammit. now I want to watch it and pick more out.
genious, since years later we are talking about how bad it is.

Kirk Lennon@thejikz @dansinker They managed to keep aircraft from flying above it with the excuse that it was a nature preserve. Yes this has holes and prompts more questions but that is how it was explained.
Pulin Kothari, MD@dansinker Shyamalan has been on a roll of bad movies ever since...Sixth Sense
dequalsrxt@dansinker God I hated that movie. Ebert's review of Synecdoche, New York is pretty great too, totally opposite assessment. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/synecdoche-new-york-2008
donkey@dansinker @gruber Oh my gosh. That’s perfect! I agree with this wholeheartedly and feel similarly about Spielberg’s “Ai”. It started off really interesting and all “I wonder where he’ll go with this?”
Then, 2.5 hours later, the answer was a resounding “Huh, nowhere.”
Ryan@dansinker This is an absolutely fantastic review. I also remember enjoying the film. But then, I also liked Lost, so what do I know.
Matt@dansinker @gruber Except its wrong. It was a brilliant ending! What a movie. Amazing.
