I guess you have to be smart and educated to appreciate this film which was a risk for MNS. Literature is almost dead in America for people under 25 and this entire film was a huge exploration in modern and classic storytelling with the common formula for a great book. On film. The only thing is most of the audience didn't catch the wink.
Here is an idea. Hire one of the world’s best cinematographers, Christopher Doyle, and actually use him! Every time there was beautiful shot the editor wouldn’t let it be on screen for even 3 seconds. Shame on you M.N.S. The Happening will suck no matter how much you tell us its rated R
I liked it because it was weird and original. At the same time I didn’t like it because it made little sense (which didn’t work for it, in this case) and some scenes were anti-climactic and somewhat cheesy. Overall, though, it’s worth a watch. Just don’t expect to know what happened in the end, and don’t expect an amazing twisted ending. There isn’t one. It just . . . ends.
