There are not many so good movies about PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and flashbacks than the "Sixth Sense". When we are thinking about the classic so-called “softcore-horror” or supernatural movies, we cannot miss one particular masterpiece. And that is the fictional film, where Bruce Willis makes the very good role in one psychiatrist, who will be murdered. In the film is very strong feeling, that something would not be right, and the mean of that film is rise thoughts on the person’s head. Those thoughts are “how those very dramatic things could be found?”.
One of the thoughts what I must ask during all the film is, “How the shooter knew that this particular man was a psychiatrist, who kept the receipts in his home?”. This movie is so-called “different horror movie”, where is not so dramatic effects than usually. But the movie is very good work and it will act after years.
And I sometimes think that did Shyamalan meant that the wife of that psychiatrist was killed her husband for revenge? Did she married man, who made the error in his job and caused the death of the woman’s first husband? Or at sometimes I have thought that is this psychiatrist meant as the example of the serial killer?
Does the fictional character, what was played by Bruce Willis actually so many errors, that this character cannot only make them on purpose. In the scene, where this man takes the boy to the hospital, he should use the psychiatric unit in that therapy. And here we must understand, that if the psychiatrist would write the receipts in the home, could many things go wrong. And in that movie, the psychiatrist works too close to his patient.
When we are thinking about the “sixth sense”, we must say that the cause of the phenomenon would be very easy to explain. The person who sees or knows something like before somebody has spoken about it might be in the similar situation before. And that’s why the memories would come to the mind so powerful, that they would feel the real thing. In the case of an accident, the very young child would store the situation in the mind.
And after the years would those memories raise in the mind. PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can cause amnesia and then the powerful feedback in the mind. And this disease is very common in military men, but also other strong situations like accidents can cause this syndrome. The cause of PTSD is the normally strong stressful situation, what store in the memory of the people.
And the flashbacks are causing, that person would go in the similar situation what caused the PTSD. And then the physical images like the smell and visible objects causes that memories would come to the knowledge. The only needed thing is that the person sees the similar picture, what caused the PTSD. And that will cause the flashback and helps the person return the memory in the knowledge.
