Nick Payne (Lunarboy)

This film is not about aliens... they are merely the protagonists. Unless you realise this, you will probably be disappointed. The film is actually a stunningly well thought out exploration of the role of spirituality. how afaith can be seemingly lost and recovered. The primary question the film asks is "What if there are no coincidences?" The way the film is layed out is a good example of short term tragedy being instrumental in bringing about long term good. An incredibly well though out exploration of the statement "God move's in mysterious ways".

This film has been unfairly underrated in my opinion. It's a spectacular examination of character development and the premise of the film - namely, the genesis of a superhero character who just wants to be an ordinary man in a mundane and ordinary world are lovingly handled by Shyamalan. The way that he fuses certain necessary archetypes to bring about the revealtion in the fillms climax is very clever.
