PLOT-

             A former reverend Graham lives with his two children and brother in a countryside corn farm field. One day it begins to appear gigantic strange signs in his field. They speculate that the local trouble making miscreants will be the culprits but when they saw the news in which it broadcasted the appearance of same kind of signs in different places of India and in addition, animals also started reacting violently, slowly they started to believe that they are in the presence of extraterrestrials.

MY VIEW

                 “Signs” is one of the greatest hits of M. N Shyamalan. It deals with both Faith and Science. It upholds the belief that there is always a force to protect the mankind. There is no need to comment on Mel Gibson’s performance as a troubled father in “Signs”, he portrays a natural father. There are scenes in which he expresses his fear, helplessness in the most applauding way. It can’t be considered as a chilling thriller, but a Science Fiction drama, which doesn’t deal with complex Alien things but instead make you feel a simple Alien movie.

VERDICT

                  It receives positive response from every part and was a huge success in the Box-office. M.N Shyamalan’s movie is not always an everyone’s cup of tea, but if you love his other works, then surely you will love this one also.
