The Happening

Theme: Environment

The Happening is a classic M. Night Shamalya movie with an interesting twist. People all over the country are committing suicide at abnormally increasing rates. People want answers and the government can't give it to them so there's anger, rioting and rebelling. People thought it was an air borne attack, and they were looking to place blame. They searched every where for an answer but never even considered that their world was doing this to them. The plants on planet Earth were releasing a deadly toxin that they all have, and it was driving the people to kill themselves. We abused the Earth and the plants for so long, they finally fought back. The plants were killing off the people and the environment was attacking us, and there was nothing humans in general could do about it. This movie teaches us about respect. People so often disrespect anyone and anything that aren't like them, and in so many futuristic movies we seal our own fate because of it.
