This supernatural thriller begins with Philadelphia psychologist Malcolm Crowe getting tipsy with his wife Anna and making light of an award bestowed upon him by the mayor's office for his outstanding work with children. Upstairs, they discover a break in, and Malcom sees a terribly skinny young man clad only in gray briefs, who complains that the doctor has misdiagnosed him ("possible mood disorder") and forgotten him. Malcolm takes a moment and remembers former patient Vincent Gray and his good points, but he rages, "You failed me!" and shoots him with a small pistol.

Crowe takes a moment and remembers former patient Vincent Gray and his good points, but Vincent rages, "You failed me!" and shoots Crowe with a small pistol. Then he turns his gun on himself.

 

From this point on in the movie, Crowe has no conversations with anyone except a patient named Cole Sear, who has a diagnosis similar to that of Vincent Gray. Crowe does speak to a number of people, but it easily escapes the notice of the viewer that they never reply.

Color is a constant theme of the movie, with trees filled with lush green leavess contrasting with piles of brown leaves on the ground in the fall. Cole barely manages to open the heavy red door of a church (red is used throughout to indicate the supernatural).<ref>"Red is an important color in this film. It is used to underscore important links to the supernatural. Red in our culture is a symbol of blood, and hence, death.  It is also a bright color that pulls the eye. It underscores.  Shyamalan gives it a spiritual connection as well." [http://hollywoodjesus.com/sixth_sense.htm] </ref>
