Prior to starting his journey to becoming the genius of horror movies in Hollywood, M. Night Shyamalan worked magic in the form of stories that are really close to him and at the same time, he was trying to please everybody, which means the entire family. I mean he had to show off his craft and family movies seem to have represented the easiest path. Anyways, his second story Wide Awake is quite nice. It’s about a boy who thinks about his life. Maybe he thinks about it too hard. And maybe this movie is a bit too Christian, and at times, the Biblical talk seems a bit too forced. But little Joshua was really likeable. You see something similar to what happened to him happened to me as well, only at a later age. I still can understand him. I believe that if he were living in Europe, he would have other stuff to worry about and he would have a different outlook on life. But since he is living in the USA, it means that Christianity is all around him and all that’s left for him it to defend himself using rational thought, which is something not everybody in the USA considers desirable. I didn’t really envy him his life, but in the end he coped with it quite OK. A pleasant movie.
