FIRST TIME WATCHING * Signs (2002) * MOVIE REACTION!!

I love how ash and joaquin have the same reaction to the alien birthday party scene😂😂

His asthma saved them, the girls' germ water phobia saved them, the baseball bat saved them, the wife's words saved them. Signs

The symbolism is gonna kill him..my fav movie!

This movie was one of my FAVORITE theatrical experiences of my movie life. The way we all screamed in unison for all the jump scares was something else. We were all in such perfect sync during the entire thing. It was glorious. I distinctly remember during the pantry scene, when that hand came out, the ENTIRE theater legit SCREAMED, and then laughed at ourselves. When the scene was over, we all shushed each other and quieted down rapidfire fast. Gawd I love this movie so much.

The look on Hannahs face😂.. realizing she's lying next to a psychopath who enjoys taking the stingers out of bees with tweezers!! On he's days off

Mel gibson killed it at the table scene, you really feel his fear, pain, and frustration for his family all coming out at once

"I'm insane with anger!" Is one of my favorite movie lines of all time.

The best part of M. Night Shyamalan's cameos in his movies is that he's actually a good actor.

Symbolisms upon symbolisms multiplied by symbolisms equals most symbolisms in one movie ever

'Swing away' isnt just related to the bat; its advice to take chances in life. Merril was never overly cautious (he always struck out becuase he went for home runs). She is urging him to stay true to who he is.

Chris Stuckmann pointed out the best symbolisms in the movie where Morgan is trying to get a good signal on top of the car. In the moment that they're all holding hands while hes on top of the car, the signal is clear. Same thing at their last dinner. They come together and embrace and the baby monitor goes off again. Its a sign, saying that they'll only be getting through this together. The big shyamalan twist is that this wasnt a horror thriller about alien invasion but about family and faith.

My parents pulled me out of school when I was 12 to see this. I vividly remember sitting in the theater when the alien was revealed. The whole place collectively lost their shit. It was a cannon moment in my life. 💕

M. Night Shyamalan played the guy who accidently killed the wife. He also played the doctor at the hospital in 'the Sixth Sense'. Excellent movie(s)! ❤

Even with the nitpick flaws you can make about the aliens, you have to give M. Night Shamalayan credit. He managed to write an original script that merged two very different kinds of movies: a paranormal thriller that interrupts a family drama that talks about loss, faith and the debate between coincidence and acts of the divine. It is about as close to blockbuster status as a faith-based movie will get in modern cinema.

The mother was psychic. Her daughter inherited that ability; Bo has dreams that come true. Bo also had a psychic 'conversation' with her mother when she was born. And the mother knew all her life what Morgan would look like. Being a 'sensitive', the mother took walks alone in the stillness of the evening. But this one night, Ray Ready somehow fell asleep at the wheel and ran his vehicle into the mother, pinning her to the tree. From that vantage point at the end of her life, she was able to see the coming invasion and was able to give last advice to make a good life for her family, including living through the short alien invasion. But look at the other signs, ones besides the mother being psychic and Ray falling asleep. Morgan had asthma, so his lungs were closed enough that he couldn't breathe in enough of the poison gas to kill him. Bo always had this weirdness about the taste of water, so there were glasses full all over. And Merrill always felt it was wrong not to swing his bat, giving it every bit of his strength. All this (and the love the family had for each other) allowed them to survive. Children mirror those around them. When Morgan looked to Merrill and wished he was his dad, it showed how much Morgan had lost faith in his father. When he told his father at the kitchen table he hated him, he was expressing his loss of faith in his father. Morgan blamed his father for his mother's death because ESPECIALLY being a minister, his father must have done something wrong or God would have kept his mother safe and alive. Morgan was mirroring his father. Just as Morgan was angry at his dad and blamed him for his mother's death, his father was angry at God and blamed Him for his wife's death. (Hey, Ash: SYMBOLISM!) The actor who played Ray Ready was the film's director and author, M Night Shyamalan. He always plays a small part in all his films. This film was shot in Pennsylvania; it's because he lives in Pennsylvania, and he likes being able to go home every night to be with his family. I think you watched "The Sixth Sense", another Shyamalan film. It's set and shot in Philadelphia, a city in Pennsylvania. In that film, he played the part of the ER doctor who called in a social worker to talk to Cole's mother (and assess whether she has been abusing him). A Not-Fun Fact: The first day of filming was on September 11, 2001. That's the day of the attack on New York City's Twin Towers, which fell that day. Terrorists attacked the US by hijacking four airplanes, two sent to the Twin Towsers, two sent to Washington, DC, where one crashed into the side of the Pentagon. The last plane was meant to crash into either the White House (killing the President) or the Capitol Building (killing Congress). Instead, the passengers on that plane recognized they were going to die no matter what happened, so they rushed the terrorists flying the plane and caused it to crash in an empty field...in Pennsylvania. This event traumatized every American, but especially those in New York City and, to a lesser extent, those in DC and near the Pennsylvania crash site. I am absolutely certain this set a tone that you can read from the acting in this film.

The birthday party scene actually freaked me out and made me kinda terrified about aliens. I'm from Brazil and I lived like 200km from the city they appear in the movie so that was part of it 😭🤝 I don't fear them now as an adult but if I dream about them it's always something ominous 😂

Love them going off about the Birthday scene. I remember being around 12 seeing this in a packed theater when it came out and everyone laughed when Joaquin said "Move children! Vamanos!" but when the alien finally walked from behind the bush everyone went NUTS. This remains my favorite M. Night movie to this day.

😂 Hannah talking about the aliens thick and healthy nails is ENOUGH 😂😭😂 you two are seriously the most hilarious people on this planet, oh my god!

Bo thought the water she was drinking was contaminated so she left it all around the room. The boy had asthma so no poison got into his lungs and Merrill held the baseball record for longest hit so the signs were all around and the wife saw it as she was dying. Mel finally saw it at the end. Good movie. You both saw the signs!

"I wouldn't be scared if I saw an alien". 20 seconds later Alien appears on screen. "BLAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
