Director M. Night Shyamalan has always ingrained important messages and morals into his films, such as the link between morality and superstitions in the Puritan Era in his 2004 film The Village, but it’s his 2002 film Signs that conveys one of the most important messages of all: the importance of water as a resource and how we seem to take advantage of this simple yet important resource. In the movie Earth is visited by extraterrestrials that seem to be leaving crop circles in various parts of the world, including the farm of main character Graham Hess and his family, which are the main focus of the film. At the climax of the film it is discovered that these beings turn out to have one weakness, water which reacts like acid on their skin.
