The Happening is an amazing film!

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2008)

It for sure deserves tons of praises! What a simple yet haunting, in not so classical way, and a thought provoking film.
The hidden agenda seems to be of Global Warming and Pollution, well according to me!
At time I was thinking that maybe we humans have polluted the world so much that the trees and the plants were now working extra hard to absorb the the poisonous gases and converting them into Oxygen, that somehow now they were evolving and fighting back!
For the trees or nature to fight back, had kill the cause of all pollution and global warming, the humans!I am sure this was not the premise of the film but I watched with this perspective! Where ever there were a lot of people and cars and traffic and pollution, the trees fought back by releasing poisonous gases!
The cinematography of the film was just so simple and beautifully effective! Amazing!
The music was just awesome!!!
The actors, according to me, performed just the way there were required for a film like this. This was not a typical film and hence required actors to perform in a different manner.
I have read the reviews by other IMDb users and I totally disagree with them about their views on performances. Mark acted very well!!!
The direction, as ever, was simply amazing. I was feeling what the characters were supposed to in the film. Whenever trees were in shot, they were phreaking scary!!!
Overall a beautiful film!!!!
Mr.M.N.S rocked again!!!!!!!!!!
