Lady in the Water was butchered by directors and producers. It was originally a simple fairy tale/ romance, a beautiful story that Shymalan wrote out. But they wouldn't get it filmed for him unless it he tried to make a 'Shymalan suspense' out of it. So they pressured him and pressured him, and finally, since he wanted to get teh movie out, hoping it would have a simple shread of romantic intensity left, he went back to the books to try to make it this suspense thriller they wanted so badly.
Unfortunately turning this beautiful fairy tale into a suspense thriller didn't work, and i hear the movie isn't that good. Fuckin producers ruin another great movie with their typecasting.
Indeed. I think it is a great movie, regardless, but do agree that a)the romance/thriller/suspence didn't work very well, and b) film producers ruin good movies. I feel the same with The Village, it was labled a suspence/thriller, but I felt it was more of a drama.
