Whether you loved this film or hated it, there is no denying that it is a beautifully shot, well acted and intriguing story.
Without giving anything away, The Village centres on the inhabitants of the titular location and their day to day lives. At first everything is peaceful until people begin to question the myths surrounding the inhabitants of the nearby woods. This is when the trouble begins for the villagers.
Straightaway I have to say that I have not heard M. Night Shyamalan talking about any huge twist in this movie, I have only heard it from audience memebers.
In my opinion people seem to be disappointed because they have the wrong expectations. Do not expect a huge twist, yes the plot has twists but no one promised us a life changing ending.
I admit that for the first time, I was able to guess the ending but I did not predict the twist that occured midway. This does not mean that the film was poorly made or even weak it just means that the signs were more obvious for us to see.
M. Night Shyamalan is a gifted storyteller and has pleasantly surprised me everytime and I really did enjoy this film.
OVERALL SUMMARY
A really good story with good performances from a highly talented cast ensured that my attention was held from start to finish. People jumped plenty of times and there are plenty twists, they simply aren’t the main focus here….the story is.
