Just watched your reaction. I'm thrilled that you were still able to be surprised by the ending - both because you had just watched The Others, but also because this was one of the most well-known (and loved) twists of all time. (Audiences were just as floored as you. This was before people began expecting it from Shyamalan.) This movie is just brilliant. It's one of Shyamalan's most self-assured films in terms of editing and shot choice. (All his movies have those great sequences or "money shots," but here they feel so organic and unobtrusive.) One thing people often overlook is that it doesn't rely solely on the ending. The performances and emotional bonds are so satisfying to watch throughout that the movie could've actually wrapped up with the traffic scene between Cole and his Mom (and maybe a reconciliation with Willis and his wife), and it still would've told a complete narrative. (Of course, it probably wouldn't have become a pop culture phenomenon without that twist).

I can't believe I never got spoiled on the ending either! So glad I didn't though. One of the greatest movie twists I've ever experienced.
