"Wasted Creativity"

Jensen 2022-04-19 09:01:35

Disaster movies always have disasters, and sometimes disasters are tsunamis, sudden changes in temperature, or aliens or something. But we haven't heard of the plants we live with day and night that terrify us. The plants in this film are given a new throne, and the gust of wind makes one's heart palpitate when the protagonists form two teams to flee into the wilderness. In the scene after the hero wakes up at the mysterious old lady's house, I always thought the hero was actually still dreaming. That scene was very chaotic, and in this movie, it seemed a little more abrupt. It's also the launching point that makes the movie a great one, but the director apparently didn't care too much about this chaotic, bizarre scene. The format of the film is very cliché, almost a replica of countless disaster films.

    I thought that the title "Happening" should be translated as "Zaijie" or "The wind is in my ears."

    In fact, the subject matter is very good, but there are many places that can't be justified, plus the clumsy emotional drama, even if there is Zooey MM, it is not bad to give 3 points.

The Happening quotes

  • Nursery Owner: I think I know what's causing this.

    Elliot Moore: You do?

    Nursery Owner: It's the plants. They can release chemicals.

  • Private Auster: My name is Private Auster. I'm stationed at Westover Military Base about ten miles back. I think they've been affected by whatever's happening. I lost communication with them. When I approached the base, I saw military personnel in... the barbed wire in... the fence. So I suggest no one take that road.

    Nursery Owner: There's a town about eight miles behind us. There were bodies on the road into town.

    Private Auster: Cheese and crackers.
