Symbolism
So maybe the old man is supposed to represent M Night...loony and unpredictable, the boy is the audience as a whole...annoying and trying so hard to be so cool, and the the dirty diaper is the movie.
shareNo, it's a metaphor for what you, as a (geek) culture, have done to him. Remember that Tyler and Becca are the filmmakers; like Shyamalan, they just want to have fun and shoot a movie. People like you set out to destroy them for no real reason at all, just because you don't like what they're doing.
PopPop's line "I never liked you anyway" is a reference to all those people who say things like "He was always a hack" and "The Sixth Sense isn't even a good movie." You push your sh!t in his face when you could just let him make his little movies and ignore him. Who's the crazy person in that scenario?
The Visit is basically a 90 minute call-out movie. Shyamalan is calling you, and people like you, cnuts, basically. Which, of course, you all are.
Pretty much this. share
Pathetic on his side if true and shows he knows his detectors are right about him being a hack whos not as clever as he tries to be and past it.
shareWhere is this quote from? I think is right on point.
shareI agree with this.
What is funnier is the reply of his detractors here proving the point.
