THE SIXTH SENSE
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Inherent in Saussure’s reasoning a structuralist approach to literature began in the 1950s to assess the literary text, or utterance, in terms of its adherence to certain organising conventions which might establish its objective meaning. Again, as for Saussure, structuralism in literary theory is condemned to fail on account of its own foundation: ‘...language constitutes our world, it doesn’t just record it or label it. Meaning is always attributed to the object or idea by the human mind, and constructed by and expressed through language: it is not already contained within the thing’.
The Plot Summary
The Sixth Sense is a 1999 American psychological horror/drama film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The film tells the story of Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), a troubled, isolated boy who is able to see and talk to the dead, and an equally troubled child psychologist (Bruce Willis) who tries to help him.The Interpretation
The film falls under the theory of Logocentrism because if you could analyse the entire movie, you could notice that the words and the language of it are regarded as the fundamental expression of the reality behind it.
