Chatty Hollywood

In the movie, Dr. Malcolm was very disappointed after being treated by his wife as if he didn't exist.

While he was accompanying Cole to school, he discovered that the little boy seemed to think he was a freak.

This made him a little excited.

He couldn't help but think of the night he was shot by patient Vincent more than a year ago——

As a successful psychologist, he was more concerned about his failure to help Vincent than the pain of the injury.

Vincent said he was a freak and eventually committed suicide.

Cole's words reminded Dr. Malcolm of his failure again, and he told Cole with some excitement,

"You're not a freak!"

"Don't believe what people say to you, it's all bullshit!"

"Don't believe that, okay?"

Seeing Cole nod, Dr. Malcolm breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's empathy!"

In the screening room, Kenneth Turan mentally commented on Dr. Malcolm's performance on the big screen.

"However, because of this, Cole's favorability towards him seems to have increased a lot."

Seeing now, Kenneth Turan is no longer obsessed with whether the promotion of "The Sixth Sense" is a moral kidnapping for film critics like them.

He thinks the movie "The Sixth Sense" is very good.

The actors' performances are sincere and there seems to be some suspense hidden in the story.

In particular, even though so far, except for the shooting at the beginning, the rest are all daily stories, Kenneth felt a kind of uneasiness and suspense that permeated the surroundings.

"Charlotte Booth's ability to control rhythm and scenes has improved greatly!"

Mr. Film Critic praised the film director's progress and couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming plot.

In the subsequent plot,

The suspense unfolds further——

When Cole's mother was cleaning up her room, she discovered mysterious circles on Cole's photos.

At the same time, while chatting with Cole, Dr. Malcolm asked him if he had tried free association writing.

——That is, you can write randomly after emptying your mind, so that some thoughts hidden in daily life may emerge.

Cole said he tried.

"What did you write?"

the doctor asked.

"Disturbing content."

Cole did not respond further to the doctor's questions. But on the other side, when Cole’s mother was cleaning up the room, she discovered what Cole had written previously——

"I'll kill you if you don't leave the baby alone!"

Cole's mother was horrified.

But the doctor didn't know this.

"Let's set a goal!"

The doctor explained to Cole,

"What is the outcome of our conversation? If you could change your life, what would you want to change?"

“I want to stop being afraid!”

Cole's answer left Dr. Malcolm silent.

"This is what Vincent said before!"

In front of the big screen, relying on his superior memory, Sheldon immediately remembered the origin of this sentence.

As a person with extraordinary IQ but little understanding of emotions, although he could not quite understand the reason for the doctor's silence, this did not prevent him from telling Leonard who was sitting next to him.

Leonard didn't find him annoying.

Unlike Sheldon, who is not very good at understanding emotions, he can understand Cole's feeling of loneliness.

As a nerd who was good at studying but not good at interpersonal communication and sports, Leonard's elementary and middle school life was also filled with similar loneliness, which gave him a sense of empathy for Cole.

At this time, he was immersed in this sense of substitution and had no time to pay attention to Sheldon's harassment.

On the other side, Howard and Rajesh also had similar feelings.

The four of them were actually not very interested in the movie "The Sixth Sense". After all, this is not an infinite loop story like "Happy Death Day", and it is not that attractive to them.

They came to the premiere solely because of Emily's previous invitation.

Although Emily couldn't watch the movie with them later because of her father. But the tickets were all bought, so they didn’t waste them…

However, they did not expect that this movie would resonate with them so much emotionally.

Now, except for Sheldon who is still a little confused, the other three have already been immersed in the feeling created by the movie.

But just because they were immersed in it, what happened to Cole later in school made the three of them even more angry——

That was a history lesson.

The teacher explains the history of the United States.

——Because of its short history, American history will pay more attention to the history of the city or region where the school is located. The teacher will enrich the textbook itself with insufficient content by telling more details.

In this class, the history teacher asked a question——

"Do you know what this school was used for more than a hundred years ago?"

The children in the class looked at each other, and no one spoke.

At this time, Cole shook his head left and right, then raised his hand tremblingly,

"This used to be a place where people were hanged."

The teacher was taken aback, and the students looked at Cole with strange eyes.

"This used to be a courtroom!"

The teacher corrected,

"I don't know who told you about the Hanged Man, but they just wanted to scare you!"

After saying that, the teacher looked at Cole with a mixture of sympathy and dissatisfaction, which completely angered him——

"You're Stuttering Stanley!"

Cole angrily accused the teacher,

"You still stuttered when you were in high school. You should know that you shouldn't look at others like that, it will make others feel uncomfortable!"

Cole's words stunned the teacher.

He slowly approached Cole and wanted to ask Cole where he heard the nickname.

But Cole was afraid of the approaching teacher. He covered his eyes and kept shouting "Stuttering Stanley".

The teacher became agitated and then really stuttered.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!"

The teacher punched Cole's desk.

"You, you, you, weird, weird, freak!"

**********

"As a teacher, he really shouldn't say such things!"

In front of the big screen, fellow teacher Andrew Sparks was somewhat dissatisfied with his peers in the movie.

"If he does this, it will have a serious psychological impact on the child!"

"Maybe it's because Cole's words really touched his pain point!"

Diana, who was sitting next to Andrew, felt a little sympathetic to the history teacher.

"Besides, after something like this happened, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to raise his head in front of the students in the future!"

"You're right!"

Thinking about the naughty children he had taught, Andrew nodded.

"But who told the history teacher Cole that he stuttered before?"

Diana asked,

"And the school used to be a court, and people were hanged?"

Andrew doesn't have an answer to this question either.
