what is the significance of the color red in the movie The Sixth Sense?
In the sixth sense, the color red is used prior and during any scene where the supernatural is present. This is in contrast to the rather drab colors used throughout the film. For instance, Cole made a red tent that he hid in when he saw a ghost in his house. At one point, a a corner of the tent came undone. When Cole went to his tent to hide, he found a ghost inside. Another example is when Cole’s schoolmate threw him into the storage space and locked the door (there was a ghost in the space). He began to scream. His sweater was red. Late in the movie, Cole received a box from a ghost (the girl whose mom poisoned her). The box was striped red and the video inside had a red ribbon in it. There were many other instances in the movie where red was used.
