She's not going to squeeze my shirt like that, is she?

The Village by M. Night Shylaman is I have to say categorically better than 'The Happening'. It's reveals something about human nature. How people will do anything to save the ones they love, and at the same time - the lengths some people will go to, to keep terrible secrets buried. They'll be no plot spoilers here. The plot is simply more believable, and film is cleverly shot. The red that is reffered to in the film as the 'bad colour' just jumps off the screen, it's so striking in amongst the dull greys and greens that it makes an for an interesting symbol. This maybe the second time I've seen this film, and I did discover a few things I had missed on the first watch. It's definetly worthy of any patient film buff's attention. On a side-note, today is the Summer Solstice, not that you'd notice with the terrible weather to look forward to this weekend.
