Mysterious cases have gone unnoticed and unsolved across the world today, leaving behind unsolved cases. However, some police duties rely, as a last resort, on the help of people with gifted abilities or sixth sense to solve these cases. People with these gift-giving abilities had worn the label of monsters or devil worshipers to witches. But today paranormal activity is becoming the center of attention around the world. Sam Raimi brings a psychological thriller to action life from a script written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson. The police are shocked by a crime in a small Georgia town and seek the help of a fortune teller, Annie Wilson. Annie, played by Cate Blanchett, is more of a therapist than a fortune teller and is the key to the puzzle in The Gift. Annie Wilson is a widow of three children in the town of Brixton, Georgia. She deals with the guilt of having been able to prevent her husband's death due to the explosion of the plant where he worked. Annie raises her children with what little social security she receives and with donations she receives from her clients during readings. Annie's older son gets into trouble at school and she meets principal Wayne Collins (Greg Kinnear) and his girlfriend Jessica King (Katie Holms). Here you see the water surrounding Jessica King's feet. While Annie's gift helps her clients, it doesn't exactly work in her favor. She faces threats and verbal abuse from Donnie Barksdale (Keanu Reeves) when she discovers that his wife, Valerie (Hilary Swank), is receiving information from Annie and suggesting that Valerie leave her abusive husband. Jessica King disappears and there are no leads. Kenneth King and the police go to Annie for help... middle of paper... The WB show Dawson's Creek, gives her fans something to marvel at as she strips naked. However, I think the script could have been a little less vulgar. The plot is a prevalent issue of sexual envy in a small town with its own twists and turns, most notably the cynical beliefs of JK Simmons and Michael Jeter, who plays the lawyer. The Gift is a really effective example that physics readers face when assisting the police in their field of work. I do not recommend this film to everyone as it is rated R with brief nudity, profanity and some terrifying scenes. However, I recommend it to those who are skeptical because it is based on a story that happened in real life. The Gift uses supernaturalism as a modality that forces you to suspend your skepticism and experience the perplexity and vulnerability that complements intuition like what Annie Wilson observes.
