Perhaps there is a Hollywood agenda where millions of dollars are spent on producing and promoting a film that generates the word of mouth buzz; "Oh that Signs movie, it's just another alien-conspiracy-horror-drama flick, don't bother".
Or, perhaps you are correct. I should probably watch Signs again, in light of your observations.
I just found the plot line of aliens with the technology to reach earth, a planet covered with water and frequent rain, and said aliens being extremely vulnerable to same... yet wandering about with no protective covering, and incapable of breaking into a tumble down old farmhouse... so off putting that I failed to grasp the possibility that there might be more too it than that. I approached the film as entertainment. Was it really made to transfer deeper meaning to the "elect"?
I also did not lose sight of the fact that Signs was a big film release with lots of promotion. The take away message for those who didn't detect some deeper meaning was that evil aliens make those darned crop circles. "Don't waste your time on them".
Cui bono? I don't know, but that doesn't strike me as an alchemically STO end result, if in fact the authentic circles are made by the Cs... and possibly filled with important symbols for the collective subconscious of humanity, or at least the ones among us who might be able to make some difference, eh?
It is interesting that Shyamalan has used water as a focal point in some of his films. With that in mind, a viewing of all of his movies, again, in the sequence that they were released might be productive.
Having considered the water work of Dr Emoto, Viktor Schauberger and more recently, Dr Rustum Roy, and some clues given by the Cs, not to forget Gurdjieff's octaves and elements as explicated by Ouspensky, there is much more to this simple molecule that I would like to know. Is Shyamalan trying to take us there? Or is he just making movies; some good, some maybe not so good?

Careful with Emoto, appearently the verdict is out most of his "experiments "were tweaked on not really conducted scientifically. He never had any experiments controls and he bluntly refuses to repeat the experiments in the controlled environment.
Every since I've heard about his work in What d' bleep do we know, I was really enthusiastic but since then a lot of evidence against him has piled up

Re: Lady in the water -
I've seen the movie the other night and I wasn't that impressed.
The main actress is very pretty, the music is nice, the effects are ok but thats just about it, I found the plot to be very simple and weak - in fact even as weak as it is the movie could have been saved if the plot was delivered differently. The movie has few emotionally charged moments but the rest was just flat and was dragging and dragging
I would give it 5 stars out of 10 (watchable)

Re: Lady in the water - \
I tend to agree with foofighter here. I didn't made the connections he did for Signs, but I think this can be applied to many movies. As for the accuracy, I don't think it is productive to watch a movie that would depict the information I already know.
I understand the others' perspective that this is disinformation, and when public watch this movie they are misinformed or their subjective beliefs supported. On the other hand, if the movie would talk about the truth, would those people wake up to this truth? As foofighter suggested, it would be a chemist reading an alchemical book. They would continue to believe what they want to believe.
I watched many movies that would be considered as disinformation, but since I knew the truth of the matter, they didn't affect me. I think since "there is coded information all over the place" as C's suggested, then those of us who try to see the unseen can obtain that information or inspiration from the movies that are disinformation.
I try to watch the movies to see if they can give me a new perspective over the problems I have in my life. If someone continues to exercise his/her discerning ability as he/she does in ordinary life, I don't think watching such a movie would be a problem.
That is of course, just my take on it for the time being.

Re: Lady in the water - \
I stated that I had "considered" the work of Emoto, and others, not invested belief in it. I happen to have a Japanese friend who is an associate of Emoto's. I get the feeling from this friend that Emoto is sincere. I think that his hypothesis has some validity.
Pennsylvania State University's, Dr. Rustum Roy, the "father" of medical materials science, certainly has the scientific credentials. His approach to consciousness and water might be more to your liking. Give it a look: _http://www.rustumroy.com/
It appears that Emoto and Roy may eventually wind up in the same place on this topic, but by different routes. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: Lady in the water - \
I watched this a few nights ago and I agree with Herr Eisenheim that it was simplistic. To me it was just a fairy tale, and I didn't really get all of the esoteric meaning. I guess I thought it would be more exciting and unpredictable.
But what I didn't realize and was surprised to know was that those wolf creatures were animatronics! I thought for sure that they were 3D animations. So I think they were really well made to flow so well yet were machines.

One of my family's favourite movies! It's interesting that when I ask people after they watch it how they like it, I find most don't or were bored and I think wow how can people have such different responses?

Re: Lady in the water - \
I just saw it and was perplexed. Interesting story, but what does it mean and why did it center around a man who ran away after the horrible thing that happened to his family?
So, I cheated and googled it and found a gem in explanations.
http://you-deserve-this.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-meaning-behind-lady-in-water.html
It turns out it is psychological! I very much like when myths and stories boil down to psychology. Sometimes I wonder if that is what the C's hint to us, even when they joked about Oz, how we could click our heels to go home at any time. Oz too was a story of a girl going through her illusions/stories in her mind!

At the time it was not available in a European format... and I have never been able to figure out how to change formats on the DVD. I have tried, with DVDs sent from the states, on numerous occasions without success.

Rabelais, maybe you could try once more after reading this February 2015 article from Scott Ogrin:

EDIT: don't forget that, for original USA disks, your TV-set or computer screen must be able to display NTSC-coded content which differs from the European PAL-coding.
