OP Just finished watching the movie The Sixth Sense.
You will remember the scene in the church where Cole, the little boy who "sees dead people" is playing with his soldiers and makes one of them speak in Latin :
MALCOLM : What was that you were saying before with your soldiers? Day pro fun...?
COLE : De profundis clamo ad te domine.
Malcolm stares surprised.
COLE : It's called Latin. It's a language.
Malcolm nods at the information.
Yes, Malcolm (Bruce Willis) nods, then he runs home to his Latin dictionary and writes it out in English as : "Out of the depths, I cry to you Lord" and everyone's skin creeps.
However, I find the phrase is written elsewhere as:
"De profundis clamavi ad te Domine."
My Latin's a little rusty : /
Anyone?
