Something I didn't
notice at all until someone brought it
to my attention, the employee in the
book store toward the beginning states
to Morgan that a book accidentally came
into storage. This is the UFO book
Morgan buys that features their house in
flames, with three bodies sprawled out
in dead positions. Let alone the fact
that the book never was suppose to come
adds to the "sign", but what didn't don
on me until my second viewing was that
if Merrill had not "swung away" at the
end, the three bodies sprawled out would
have been Graham, Morgan and Bo, dead.
Before finding a few of
the illogical facts surrounding the idea
of the wife being an alien (for those
interested), I had evidence backing it
up through Shyamalan's bloody side, but
also, on Graham's faith. His character
is bare minimum on faith and refuses to
owe another moment of his life to
prayer. After my first viewing, I had
thought that the gas had cured Morgan,
which gave me a hint that it may have
been the wife's way of inserting faith
back into Graham's life. Another moment
that hinted off at the hypothesis was
that the critter at the end did not
fight back at the encounter, which could
have meant that they are not hostile.
Merrill was not an evil person, which
would have branched back to the roots of
my first thought that they were ridding
evil from earth. But through my second
viewing, it was clear that they were
hostile.
Although, if you think
about it, Graham took a course of
violent action against the alien in the
pantry, which appears to be one of the
few reasons why it shows up at the
climax; in revenge. Would it be possible
that the extra terrestrials were not
hostile, but if you took a course of
action against them, they would be?
Though, at the very end, we see that
there may very well have caused
destruction across town. And thinking
about it more, why would they kill the
family dog near the climax? We don't
physically see the dog attacking the
aliens invading, but all we hear is the
audio of the puppy being murdered. But
it could be quite interpretative.
