I recently went to see the movie "The Happening".... I thought it would be different because it was an M. Night Shyamalan movie
Well... it was different alright... but different isnt always good as I found out... The basic story line was interesting... it was something no sane person would have ever thought of, but the ending was terrible. Now that was disappointing because Shyamalan is known for his endings. It was a kind of strange movie. There were lots of scenes in the movie that made me laugh but there were also lots of scenes that just left me disturbed.
But you know, this story scared me and I mean literally scared me.... Let me tell you what this movie is all abt. Well basically, something starts happening to the people, they just suddenly start killing themselves. One minute they are fine, talking normally, getting on with their lives. Next minute, they're shooting themselves or jumping off buildings or cutting themselves up. Eventually somebody figures out that its the plants that are doing it. Some plants actually do have the capacity to release certain chemicals that help them get rid of predators.... its true, I have researched it... You can try googling it yourselves.
The theory is that now man is the enemy, the predator. And plants need to protect themselves from us and so they release a neuro-toxin that makes people want to kill themselves..... Scary!!!!!
Why???? Because it could happen. The rate at which we are cosuming our natural resources this movie could become reality. Plants may just evolve to this stage one day and the truth is we wouldn't know about it till it happens. For this reason and this reason alone, I would recommend that people watch the movie.
You have to hand it to Shyamalan though, I dont think anybody else could have thought about something as far-fetched as this. That man is pure genius, I just wish the ending could have been better.
