When Cole is telling Malcom his secrets in the hospital he says "I see dead people",but at the end when Malcom is remembering all that stuff Cole tells him, it replays as "I see people".
You have to remember, the dead only hear or see what they choose to, he's just realizing that he is dead, HE CHOOSES TO OMIT "DEAD" because he doesn't want to admit he is dead.
I have been reading all of your comments regarding this movie and have one of my own. You all seem to really want to believe that because the director but an extra segment on the vhs and dvd that the can do no wrong. The whole comment "Dead people can only see and hear what they want" has been used to discount 80 percent of the slipups for this movie. Can't you just all suck it up and admit a few mistakes........................I will say one thing, the extra footage on the rental and purchase copies did its job. People refuse to believe that they could have made a mistake.
This isn't so much of a slipup as it was an intentional editing choice. Alot of what Cole says to Crowe is editied out in this scene. The idea was to just give us the necisary information for the time. Let's not overanalyze...
Well, I haven't seen the movie for a while, but the original script shows the first scene as "I see people... I see dead people... Some of them scare me..." etc.
In the last scene, Malcolm recalls fractions of that conversation, including the first line "I see people". That makes the difference. So maybe the mistake has occurred at some script-revision.
When Cole says "I see dead people," he is whispering. When he says it, the word dead is quieter than the rest of the phrase. Maybe it is just very hard to hear in the replay?
