Connections

the stabbing scene

A teenager want's to know the world outsider that adults are hidding

Reflection of red-caped figure moving past.

Character dressed as animal with red cloak; masks made of pig heads; small, isolated comunity with old lifestyle

When Mr. Walker is teling Lucius that he is fearless after the elders read the note Ivy is sitting in a chair behind him. Everyone around her is wearing dark colors while she is wearing a bright blue dress. Shyamalan used this technique so the audience would notice Ivy. He also used this in Unbreakable when David was first using his power. Everyone that was passing by him was wearing dark colors and everyone that brushed him was wearing bright colors.

The Peta's village, the way they face outsiders and their primitive ways are a spoof of the village and the villagers in "The Village"

the surprise ending is spoofed

The Village is one of the film lampooned in this installment.
