sharkeatingman,
See lessyour comment of my ‘overwhelming desire to be right’ probably comes from my desire to be right, once.
The film, The Sixth Sense is one of my favourite films, I’ve watched it 30 or so times.
My understanding of a hook is such that if a producer likes the I see dead people theme it would be a viable hook, whereas if the producer does not believe in ghosts and doesn’t like the subject, to him/ her it won’t be a hook.
About Willis’ character thinking his wife is having an affair, I view that part of the film as mere ‘space filler’. That part doesn’t seem to progress the story, and if it was removed the film wouldn’t be affected.
What is left is his perceived deteriating relationship with his wife, and Cole’s problem of seeing dead people.

With regard to the way I wrote the logline, if it is wrong then fair enough. You are the expert, I am the beginner. But your understanding of the film itself is, I consider to be, lacking. Should I rewrite the logline as is, it becomes: A child psychologist wants to help a boy, looking into the boysRead more

Should I rewrite the logline as is, it becomes:
A child psychologist wants to help a boy, looking into the boys life the boy looks into his life, and sees he is dead.
To me that is wrong, as at the start of the film the psychologist is shot by Vincent.
Vincent and the boy have the same problem, they see dead people.
Towards the end of the film the psychologist is listening to a tape of a session with Vincent, and discovers another person talking to Vincent. The ‘I see dead people’ concept is realised. At that point the boy, Vincent and the psychologist ‘are on the same page’.
Having a look at my logline, the 12 words seem to be, ‘a young boy who reminds him of a boy he once failed’.

Where is the humour in the logline?
