The Happening Is A Misunderstood Parable

The Bad Movie

M Night Shyamalan’s film about a family on the run from suicide-inducing plants is so awful its lead actor publicly apologized for it. Aside from being full of unintentional comedy, it features a script where nothing happens. Once the creepy suicides at the start are over, there’s no character development, no build-up of tension, no climax. The entire film just fizzles out. Badly.

The Masterpiece

The critics at Den of Geek see things differently. They argue The Happening’s flaws are the result of M. Night Shyamalan deliberately structuring the movie backward. Instead of following a traditional plot of slow start, build-up, action, and climax, The Happening starts with its climax: the mass suicides. From there it slows down and keeps getting slower until the pace is nearly glacial. Mark Wahlberg’s character also goes backward. Starting with an act of heroism (trying to save his wife), he then becomes slowly less heroic and more detached from the world around him. By the end, he’s lonely and lost—the sort of character a blockbuster might start with and build into a hero. The Den of Geek critics claim this structure shows the movie is really about suicide. Wahlberg’s journey from normal family man to someone cut off from everyone around him mirrors a journey into depression. He also exhibits other signs, such as lack of control and inability to express joy. Although few agree with their take, they are at least in good company.

Roger Ebert praised the film’s realism and called it an “oddly touching” parable.
