Preconscious, Unconscious and Conscious
The preconscious mind stores information that is currently not in use. It is relatively easy to access and can be triggered by memory, emotion, need and so on. The information is held in latency. It lives just beneath the conscious mind, like a batter on deck but not yet called up to bat.
This is where Shyamalan’s clues, which initially seem unimportant, get tucked away to be retrieved later. The unconscious mind is like the preconscious mind in that it holds information that we don’t know about. The difference is that it holds repressed information that isn’t easily accessed. This is where the ego, id and super-ego live. This is the stuff that is boarded up with a big “Keep Out” sign nailed to the door. One might argue that this is the linchpin to protagonist Malcolm’s (Bruce Willis) character. He has suppressed his own death and has to journey past the “Keep Out” sign to discover he is dead.
And lastly what you already know:
The conscious mind is all the stuff that we are aware of and use in the present. These are our senses, memory, facts and products of our reasoning and action. It’s the information that we have called up to bat and that now stands at the plate.
So how does Shyamalan apply these in The Sixth Sense?
The Case of The Sixth Sense
The genius in both the movie and the script is the virtuosity with which Shyamalan guides the audience’s preconscious. In Act 1 he shows us all the clues we need to solve one, or even both, central riddles of the movie. Yet we don’t see the clues or solve the mystery until Act 3. Why? Because Shyamalan doesn’t want us to know yet. Instead, he intentionally directs us to tuck information in bins incorrectly labeled, or labeled “unimportant.” As good viewers we follow orders despite, in some cases, overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Later, when Shyamalan wants us to retrieve the information, he uses a new piece of information to trigger it. We place the “old” alongside the “new” and through their juxtaposition form a third idea, a synthesis. Although the third idea is not part of the visible story playing on screen, it is an important part of the plot. Our engagement heightens, as we ourselves are now co-authors of the story.
