The water in Signs which is used to kill an alien monster symbolizes humanity, fate, and faith. Water is a source of life, and we will die without it. Obviously we can't relate to the family's situation but it's the water which we all need that saves them and connects us to them via our common humanity. The water the daughter leaves sitting around, which the father of the family is often annoyed by, ends up fulfilling a greater purpose by saving them. This ties into the theme of fate and life's purpose, ideas that the main character was struggling with before the events of the story. Humanity and fate are both connected by a universal desire among all humans to feel belonging, and fate gives us a sense of belonging. This reassures that everything happens for a reason and strengthens their familial bond and the father's faith. Faith and fate are also connected in that both tell us what we are doing in this world. Humanity also ties in with these two ideas as everyone desires a purpose, and these ideas can fulfill this desire. Even though these ideas have numerous links outside Signs, Signs links them together further through its use of water.

Water is used symbolically in the movie “Signs”. The water could be a symbol for cleansing and purity, so that’s why it’s always left out by the daughter and it’s something that you wouldn’t expect to have a simple solution (like killing aliens) but it does as was shown in the clip provided. Water is necessary for life, but it ironically seems to be the one thing that kills these aliens. This contributes to the overall theme of the purpose of life, and how it seems our demise can come from something so small like water.

After the mother's death, the father is said to have a loss of faith and cant find any purpose in life. The glasses of water his daughter leaves around the house would be seen as 'half empty' at this time, as he lost his faith and can't find the bright side of things. However, after the aliens attack, the glasses of water are valuable and can be seen as 'half full' because the father regained his faith in order to survive.

Signs- Water is a basic survival need there's no doubt about it, but it also helps this family survive a crisis. The water symbolizes the hope and faith. After the passing of the mother, there was a rough patch. The father didn't like the water sitting around the house thus symbolizing faith was lost. However the water saved them from the alien invasion. Faith was their savior. They had the faith to fight back. This shows them that faith held them together and that there is more to loose and it can always get worse.

Signs-The water in Signs which is used to kill an alien monster has many different interpretations. Humanity, fate, and faith, are three different interpretations which are all true with proper evidence. Water is a source of life, and we will die without it. Obviously we can't relate to the family's situation but it's the water which we all need that saves them and connects us to them via our common humanity.

In Signs the water symbolizes the decision and solution for survival. Not only do you need water to live, but in this case it is used as a weapon. During this scene, the family is losing some of their humanity as they have lost a family member, and are fighting off aliens. They learn later that the one thing they cannot live with out is ,ironically so, water because the aliens cannot touch the water without being harmed. The overall theme would be the purpose of life and the personal faith that everyone should have even in the worst of situations. With this, the water saved their lives, made their family become closer, and fulfill their purpose of life in itself.

Signs (2002)
After the mother's death, the father is said to have a loss of faith and can't find any purpose in life. The glasses of water his daughter leaves around the house would be seen as "half empty" during this time. However, once the aliens attack, the glasses of water suddenly become a valuable resource and might be seen as "half full". This shows the change in the father's thinking through the movie.

There is irony in the water in Signs(2002) in that, typically in literature, it represents life due to the fact that in reality, it is necessary to live. The irony presented is when the characters kill the aliens with it, and also that the audience would not expect such a problem to have such a simple solution in the end. The death of the aliens due to the water can also symbolize the human fear of water (i.e. the ocean). Finally, the water can be a symbol of cleansing as the characters remove the impurity -- the aliens -- by using it.

Faith and clarity. Water is necessary for life but it just so happens to be the one thing that kills aliens. It represents how water is a purifying substance in a few separate cases. After the mother's death, the father had lost faith and purpose to live his life. The water that had killed the aliens gives the father faith that there is a hope to save the rest of his family from them. It also is ironic that water is necessary for basic human survival, but it is the one thing that kills the aliens. The water in this clip symbolizes a regain of faith in the father as well as clarity.

After the mother's death, the father is said to have a loss of faith and can not find any purpose in life. The glasses of water his daughter leaves around the house would be seen as "half empty," during this time. However, once the aliens attack, the glasses of water suddenly become a valuable resource and might be seen as "half full". "Half Empty, or Half Full," symbolizes the perspectives the father has on life. Half empty is considered to be a negative perspective in which his grief brought, and half full as a positive one in which the ending provides. This shows the change in the father's own grief and perspective of his life throughout the movie.

After the mother's death, the father is said to have a loss of faith and is unable to find any purpose in life. The glasses of water his daughter leaves around the house would be seen as "half empty" during this time. This suggests the loss of faith among the family and how drastically their fair has changed in this trying time. However, once the aliens attack, the glasses of water suddenly become a valuable resource that can be seen as "half full". This allows for the return of their faith and how valuable it actually is. This shows the change in the father's thinking throughout the movie and how he advanced his reasoming and faith to fit the information he has seen to his current belief system.

After the mother's death, the father is said to have a loss of faith and can't find any purpose in life. The glasses of water his daughter leaves around the house would be seen as "half empty" during this time. However, once the aliens attack, the glasses of water suddenly become a valuable resource and might be seen as "half full" by the father. The fact that his daughter is the one that left the glasses around the house is no coincidence, either. During the course of the movie, the father finds renewed faith in the form of his family. Even though the one he loved is gone, he still has his family and therefore a purpose in life.

Life and clarity. Water is necessary for life but it just so happens to also be the one thing that kills aliens. It represents how water can represent the fear of water as well, not just like spring, but how it can literally be the death of someone. The water could be a symbol for cleansing and pure so maybe that’s why it’s always left out by the daughter and it’s something that you wouldn’t expect to have a simple solution (like killing aliens) but it does as was shown in the clip provided. They are all fighting for there lives throughout the clips and living their lives, and what would normally kill a human, a hard swing of a bat, wouldn't kill an alien, but water does, just as water can kill humans (when in large quantity or extreme temperatures.)

The water symbolizes the faith and optimism of the family, as the glasses of water left around the house seemed to be a nuisance, but they ended up saving their lives. The death of the mother caused an absence of faith within the father, which can be related to the half full/ half empty cliche. The father became obsessed with protecting his family and he pushed the trauma of his wife's death deep down. The father's pessimistic viewpoint shifted to a more optimistic viewpoint after the water killed the alien invader, depicting how the water symbolized faith and hope.
