Reply to comment by Four_Duck_Snakes in Just found out that The Sixth Sense and The Others resemble a lot by mojito_sangria

I presume it's because they have similar plot twists where the main character(s) have always been dead the whole time.

Right, but so do a TON of films is what I was meaning. If you look outside of even 10 years.

No one is denying its a common theme for a plot twist but these were some of the first major releases that gained substantial attention for it. Hence my presumptions for what OP are connection the two movies together.

And to be precise, The Sixth Sense and The Others were released two years apart from each other 20 years ago.

I believe what OP is trying to insinuate is that they are ripped off one another.

Open your eyes/Vanilla Sky dealt with the same twist, instead of being dead though, he was in an eternal sleep where he can chose either life in paradise that is a hell, or try real life.

Before that decade there were others that would have the same plot.

That era of film was all about the twist.

Even the Usual suspects used the same kinda zinger.

Anywho, agree to disagree.
