Shyamalan, or not Shyamalan? That's the question.

Being the "Love Him or Hate Him" director is already a success.

To me, Shyamalan is a gifted story teller, esp. on teasing audience.

Every time I'm so drawn into the process, the controversial ending never bothers me.

Even when the mass think some endings suck, I really believe that's his intention -

To make some fun. With the audience.

Don't you feel the same in your home town? Every time when there's a Night's movie on, the disappointed audience are those who expect ending similar to the one of Sixth Sense. A big & witty twist without too big a logic loophole. But if every time the ending of Night's film is that expected, I don't think I'd appreciate him this much. And the mass would label him a man running out of ideas, or one who tries to replicate his own success ending up repeating himself.

If you buy in this, Lady in the water is not bad at all. At least he has heightened your curiosity for more than an hour.

And it's no easy task.
