As an ecologist I enjoyed this film immensely. Shamylan has also added a lot of known science, like ppants responding to positivity, plants being able to release communicative pheromones to signal to other relatives (look up acacia and giraffe), plants evolving to defend themselves or manipulate other species etc etc, I liked it, plants can fuck us up.

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

This. I think some of M. Night Shamylan's movies flop because he has a hard time communicating things that might not be common knowledge. They spoonfed a lot of info to the audience using the news but not the info about plants releasing stress pheromones to warn surrounding plants about a danger. You'd think it would be obvious that info would come from the nursery gardeners or the science teacher. The whole Convo about how plants can tell if you are a good person or not could have been converted to "I saw in the news a few months ago that...." And the whole movie would have made a lot more sense to people who don't read past headlines or science news (which is sadly the majority of people)

The bee thing is called Colony Collapse Disorder. It's a really interesting, but depressing topic. No one really knows.

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

Lots of people know. 🙄 the point was that it wasn't brought up again in the movie. Any tying it to the plot is a reach and a half.

[@Squirreltasticqueen]

@@Amused_Comfort_Inc how is "large swaths of bees are dead" not a metaphor for the plants killing off large swaths of humans. As in, by misrepresenting colong collapse disorder as "mysterious" it hints at nature producing a mass death event that will be used on humans. Not saying it was done well or incorporated properly but it's there.

I actually remember reading an interview with Shyamalan back when this movie came out. He said he wanted to make a bad B-Horror movie, like the ones from the 50s. So, he wasn't necessarily trolling, but this movie is exactly what he wanted it to be. I feel like, because he had already made Signs and Sixth Sense and The Village, etc, people thought he was taking himself really seriously with this movie, but he wasn't.

[@drivethrupoet]

Makes sense. But didn't he direct it himself? I figured it was meant to be more melancholy and super dark. Either way the art direction and post prod totally screwed it up.

Saw this in theaters and remember at the time people didn't even realize how bad this was until later on. At this point in Shamalon's career people were still very optimistic about his talent bc he hadn't reached full on whacko yet, but was getting there. We all for whatever reason gave him the benefit of the doubt and took this for what it was, even if the ending "reveal" was utterly ridiculous.

[@ElaineAeris]

I absolutely 100% remember seeing a clip during filming where Wahlberg is questioning Shyamalan about why they are going in houses if the food is likely tainted (or something like that) and Shyamalan snaps about “canned food” or something but it was ages ago and I can’t find it anywhere 😭 Something tells me Marky Mark knows stuff was sounding a little stooopid

One of our friends said he didn’t get what it was supposed to be about, my husband and I tried to explain, but then our other friend said the stupidest thing: “it’s about friendship. Their friendship fixed the happening.” And he was totally serious.

It was weird to witness, so when this movie came out, I was in total belief plants could say f*ck you guys, & release a chemical to f*ck with us.

The Happening was like a turning point for Shamalan's career I think. Before that point he was mostly well regarded, and while Lady in the Water wasn't great, it was at least more low key about its badness, and it was more the weird that stood out in that movie which acts as a bit of a smoke screen. People who still wanted to think he was a good director could dismiss it as just being too weird for them, rather than bad. With The Happening it was all bad, and in your face with it, no excuses. The premise, the presentation, the acting, everything was bad. And then from that point Shamalan wasn't seen as a "good but a bit strange" filmmaker anymore. Even his older stuff was viewed with more criticism after that point. And then not long after, The Last Airbender permanently solidified his status as a Bad Director to most people.

In college, I did a series of experiments with 2 botanist involving plants. There have been lots of these experiments through the years, and the findings are usually the same. We gave our plants the same amount of food, water, and light. However, for half of them we played nice music, we talked to them, and said nice things, and for the other half, we yelled at them, and said mean things to them. The ones we treated like crap, died, and the ones with all the positive reinforcement thrived. So the premise of this movie was good, but the execution wasn’t great. It wasn’t the worst movie in the world! The thought of a species rising up against us, because we treat it like crap, is not only terrifying, but not completely improbable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@shanac5536 We don't even ignore them, we murder them to make paper. But all the other trees are just chill with that I guess? I often wonder if some of these "we talked nice to the plants" experiments don't account for differences in sunlight, since if you're yelling at one plant it can't be placed close enough to the other plant for the "loved" plant to hear the yelling, right? Not saying I don't believe it, but I'd like to see it replicated with trees and other types of flora. Maybe only some react? Maybe non-trees react because they have a shorter lifespan? idk.
