Signs

I watched Manoj Night Shyamalan's "SIGNS" this Sunday. I wonder why his movies always have a supernatural flavor...

This movie is about how a family reacts to an alien invasion, hiding in their home.
Bottom line - it's all about faith... and I liked what it expressed.

This is what Mel Gibson says somewhere in the middle of the movie when the family is scared stiff and waiting in their house, watching the news...

"People break down into two groups
When they experience something lucky.
Group number one sees it as more than luck,
More than coincidence.
They see it as a sign...
Evidence that there is someone up there
Watching out for them.
Group number two sees it as just pure luck,
A happy turn of chance.
I'm sure the people in group number two
Are looking at those lights in a very suspicious way.
For them, the situation isn't 50-50 .
Could be bad, could be good.
But deep down,
They feel that whatever happens,
They're on their own.
And that fills them with fear.
Yeah, there are those people.
But there's a whole lot of people in the group number one.
When they see those lights,
They're looking at a miracle.
And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen,
Ihere'll be someone there to help them.
And that fills them with hope.
See, what you have to ask yourself is, what kind of person are you?
Are you the kind who sees signs, sees miracles?
Or do you believe that people just get lucky?
Or look at the question this way...
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?"

So... what kind of person are you...?
