To me, there’s something really beautiful about a story simple enough that anyone and everyone understands it. And when the story also has broad social significance (i.e., a “big idea,� aspirations to “something higher�), it can have great power. While I wouldn’t say that Shyamalan’s films up to this point have been flawless, I do think that he’s managed to at least aspire to “higher things� in commercial cinema in a way that few other present-day filmmakers have done.
