Enigma- M.Night Shyamalan

Bibliography of M.Night Shyamalan

Wow. I have discovered a fascinating private personality with a real knack for grasping the kind of details that make a real-life experience so much more impacting than a Hollywood major-block-buster. Nuances, subtleties, strange, almost obscured details, whose amorphous revellations are far more shocking than billion-dollar 3-D perfectly rendered monsters can be.

(eg- the blurred alien news-footage in Signs)

Life is stranger than fiction and a true artist will know how to collate subtle details, rather than punchy, dynamic shock tactics. A poor man's example of using randomly prosaic, seemingly candid details to hit you where you live, is in the works of Stephen King. MNS is so much more profound, despite the generally commercial format of his works.

The man, himself is fascinating and I believe, very powerful. If you want to see the director doing his Hitchcockesque cameo, see Signs- he's the Indian man who killed Mel Gibson's screen wife.
