I saw The Happening last night and it made me think about global warming and all the pollution we are giving to our precious earth. It also made me think about the dinosaurs. Why did they become extinct? Was it because of the earth fighting back? I know what the researchers say about the dinosaurs and everything but you can’t believe everything you read.
I was also freaked out because I imagined what happened in the movie, happening in real life. It was just spooky. I have to say, M. Night Shyamalan did really well in making this movie compared to The Village. I didn’t like that movie at all.
Anyway, just in case you haven’t seen it, here’s a summary about the movie:
It begins with no clear warning. It seems to come out of nowhere. In a matter of minutes, episodes of strange, chilling deaths that defy reason and boggle the mind in their shocking destructiveness, erupt in major American cities. What is causing this sudden, total breakdown of human behavior? Is it some kind of new terrorist attack, an experiment gone wrong, a diabolical toxic weapon, an out-of-control virus? Is it being transmitted by air, by water–how? For Philadelphia high school science teacher Elliot Moore what matters most is finding a way to escape the mysterious and deadly phenomenon. Though he and his wife Alma are in the midst of a marital crisis, they hit the road, first by train, then by car, with Elliot’s math teacher friend Julian and his 8 year-old daughter Jess, heading for the Pennsylvania farmlands where they hope they’ll be out of reach of the grisly, ever-growing attacks. Yet it soon becomes clear that no one–and nowhere–is safe. This terrifying, invisible killer cannot be outrun. It is only when Elliot begins to discover the true nature of what is lurking out there–and just what has unleashed this force that threatens the future of humanity–that he discovers a sliver of hope that his fragile family might be able to escape what is happening.
Has anyone else seen the movie?
My husband and I have been studying for years. we haven’t found any conclusive evidence for evolution, or climate change due to global warming. I tend to think it’s all hype, hype that politicians and greedy businessmen are getting rich from. There IS evidence that dinosaurs existed alongside man. Certainly the movie industry is making trillions from it. And oddly enough, they don’t seem concerned enough to change their SUV and private jet ways.
You asked about the Camero. Heh heh– my neighbor doesn’t have a price sticker on it! We joke about it, because it’s a BIG draw for him– people have to come see him to ask about it.
I’ve been looking forward to this movie – I hope to see it next weekend. I happen to love all Shyamalan’s movies.
