Whilst studying for biochemistry, I decided to let the movie Lady in The Water play on in the background (a truly effective studying technique). The movie was written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, a genius in my opinion when it comes to movies and good stories. The plot of the movie is based on a bedtime story that he made up for his daughters. Upon watching the movie again, I mean listening to it whilst I studied, I have come to see it in a better light - if you remember my review of it when first I saw it, I said it was too improbable, that the characters believed the plot too quickly, that there was no skepticism. I still maintain that opinion, although not quite as harshly as before. I think it is a good movie, and it made me tear up a little, which is usually an indicator of a good movie by my standards. Don't get me wrong... not every movie that moves me is good...I was struggling to cry silently during the beginning of Disturbia and seriously considered leaving during the first ten minutes because it upset me so much...and I would not call Disturbia a good movie...I wouldn't call it anything other than disturbing, come to think of it. But I stray from my purpose. As Lady in The Water came to an end, I let the credits play on while I became more attentive to my biochemistry text. Then at the end of the credits, M. Night Shyamalan left a very sweet message:
But then go to bed.
