psychological point of veiw of the movie the six sense

The movie sixth sense which made its way to the public in the year 2003 was perhaps a platform that would justify many points of view . It can justify socially , psychologically and behaviorally , human lives which provide the viewer one chance to identify these things from an emotional angle . Whether this chance is grasped and executed depends the viewer himself and his intellectual range . Does he treat it like just another psychological /supernatural thriller or does he see it more from a psychological stance ? Does he want to justify the movie and its

ending ? Or does he leave it right when the credits appear rolling up

Malcom Crowe a child psychologist , cole his young patient , cole 's troubled single mother and Malcom 's depressed wife who according to her has always played second fiddle to Malcom 's passionate dedication to his profession Fundamentally speaking , this plot revolves around these four characters who are all troubled . Needless to say their troubles are not physical They need mental support and this is what they try to achieve in their interactions with each other or others around them

This shall be considered later in detail
