He depicts an ethnically diverse group of characters setting aside
their differences to protect the pool girl from a dog-like
predator. = followers
The Narf--- represents faith and purity and Christ
The Dog -- - Satan, needless to say.
Rain --- rain during the death of Christ, the pure and holy
cleansing coming down from heaven

aware of your own sense of purpose as well as your own imagination
and self-image, then this movie was beautifully done.Shyamalan
remains a crafty storyteller and spinner of fantastic mystery, and
. There is emotion and feeling and yes, heart, to this
