Signs has a heavy usage on faith and whether events are purely coincidence or a sign of the things to come, or maybe, a signal to avoid the dangers of the future. Or in other words, does everything happen for a reason? I happen to believe in fate, and while Signs offers a few moments that may appear "iffy" in the believability of such, one must admire the filmmaker's attempt to make this ride a very thought-provoking journey.

After listening to the soundtrack a few days prior to the film's opening, a few things clicked in that had me convinced that there may very well be a hidden meaning behind Signs that Shyamalan intentionally inserted to see who would get it. This could be wrong and after I discussed it with a few friends who did not agree with me, I'm still having this open to discussion despite however number of illogicals there may be. I had a hunch that Graham's wife is an alien. The reasoning...why is Shyamalan's character the first one to be seen hurt by an alien attack? We see him in the Suburban in front of his house with a bloody side. We assume he was attacked by a critter and the fact that the inside of his house has been knocked over for the most part adds to that theory. But of all people, why would he be the first one?

We learn that Shyamalan's character had killed Graham's (Mel Gibson) wife carelessly six months previous to Signs' load-up. Even in the emotional talk between him and Graham, we get the feeling that he still isn't that great of a person. If the wife was an alien, she could have ordered for Shyamalan to be killed because of what he did to her. The alien supposedly attacked him but evidently he got away safe, but injured, leaving the critter locked up in the pantry. Is it possible that the alien failed to live out the goal of killing Shyamalan's character in favor of the wife? However, there is nothing said that would say anything about the wife being an alien. If the theory came out to be true, what if the aliens are purely aiming to rid evil from the face of the planet? Now, this seemed more logical before I saw the movie the second time, as I did not realize that it was Morgan's asthma that saved him from dying from the poisonous gas. Thinking about it a few days before the opening, I thought the gas that was sprayed into Morgan's nose had saved him when it was "supposedly" deadly.
