Conversely, I really like the what's in the package scene in Trapped in the Closet.

The box scene in Se7en is great. I get why people might find Pitt’s choices...difficult, but I have no problem with them.

It's pretty obvious at this point, Chris.

Im here guys, sorry i havent saw this earlier. Ruddo stalked me over other threads and just saw all the questions.

Ok, what i thought about signs is that the movie talks about faith and about coincidence. The movie shows different moments of this family´s life and it seems everything was leading up this...And then, it shows a book the little girl was reading with a very similar house burning with all the family sans the brother outside...so if there is no coincidence Joaquin Pheonix should have been dead in the attack..and i guess Shyamalan didnt have the balls to do it, kinda ruining the whole movie with that fucking book.

Everything after the opening scene in last crusade ruined the movie.

I thought we were getting River Phoenix for 90 minutes.


Instead we get Harrison Ford. Again.
Ugh.

We probably would have gotten a couple great young Indy movies in the 90's in River Phoenix didn't OD. Dummy.

That book was never meant to be read as any kind of prophecy. The characters just noticed it looked uncomfortably similar to them and became unnerved. Nothing more.

But it basically sets the end. And the movie tells you there are no coincidences i mean they literally said that, they use those flashbacks from the dying mom to defeat the aliens.....so wtf with that book? If the bro was left inside the house, it would have been perfect.

But...like I said...the book scene was never meant to be taken that way...

It's Shalamadamadingdong, of course there were grand ideas he just forgot about.

It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that the book was supposed to prophesize the brothers death and they changed their minds, or it was an intentional misdirect or it wasn't supposed to mean anything really. All seem plausible. You gotta ask Shalamadamadingdong.
