Last night, I went to see M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie, HAPPENING, with my husband. Again, Shyamalan did it very well by having a simple but strong concept brilliantly executed! The only thing I didn’t understand too well was the ending; nor was I able to grasp what was the director’s point.
Today, I happened to receive a viral email that shows you how cell phones can fry up pop corns in a matter of seconds. Oh dear!We all use cell phones nowadays. So would our brains be fried up like that too?Take a look: Video: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=V94shlqPlSI
It is so scary, isn’t it?!But even more “scary” is the article underneath all those video links which talks about the possibility of how Cellphone Popcorn Popping may be related to all the recent Bird Flock Suicides!!
Now that I am more aware of the EMF (Electric and Magnetic Fields) effects around us, it has made me appreciate the film and Shyamalan’s points a lot more!Yes, the HAPPENING is already happening to the birds and bees.
If we humans still keep on damaging the planet earth, one day it may also happen to us too. Furthermore, as a Christian, I can see a lot more INTELLIGENT DESIGN beyond the outwardly ecological cause for the movie. For those critics who can't, I can fully understand their disappointment in the movie's ending and why they will be tearing this movie apart. But as some other critics would say, Shyamalan’s movies are about the journey and not the destination because they are overall entertaining regardless.
In fact, it was another movie that Shyamalan had written/produced and directed in 2002, THE SIGNS, that had given me the motivation to switch my career and become a film director. As Shyamalan's fan, I thank God that he is still so young. I hope he will improve instead of running dry because I look forward to seeing more of his work!
SEE TRAILER BELOW and hear Director Shyamalan speak on how he came to the central concept of the plot:
Shyamalan has a unique vision in films, and ensures that the final product, although not always understood by everyone is usually flawless and deep thinking.
The mobile phones definitely can't be helping environment or our own health. That popcorn video was pretty scary, If that's what it is doing to pocorn, what is the state of our brains like.
