Comments on: Spoilers for M.Night Shyamalan’s ‘The Happening’ http://themovieblog.com/2007/08/spoilers-for-mnight-shyamalans-the-happening The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:26:25 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Ashley http://themovieblog.com/2007/08/spoilers-for-mnight-shyamalans-the-happening#comment-145567 Ashley Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:46:38 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=5089#comment-145567 Before bashing any or all M. Night's movies, whatever one feels necessary, we have to take into account that he is one of the most unique directors/writers/producers that has come around in a looooong time. It is an understatement to say that M. Night "thinks outside the box." No one can undermine his ability to build up the suspense in a film and make his entire audience jump in unison. One also has to remember the fact that Shyamalan makes movies to make a point. No his movies are not Oscar worthy, no his movies are not the most spectacular and digitally mastered, BUT his movies DEFINITELY always have some bigger purpose. The Happening is a perfect example of this fact. If you've seen it, you know what that purpose is. A quote from the movie, "...this was a warning." This movie was M. Night's warning to us and it cannot be taken lightly.... Before bashing any or all M.

Maybe it is out of a few peoples league anymore with the onset of nut jobs like Tipper Gore, nevertheless, if you do not want to know the ending...don't read it. It is in no shape, way, or form, reprehesibile for exercising First Amendment RIGHTS. Do not chastise someone! I personally thank the author for sparing me two lost hours of my life and $35 bucks in expenses (not to count gas) at the cineplex!

I am a big M. Night fan, my faves being Signs, Sixth Sense & Unbreakable...least being Lady in the Water & The Village(my very least fave). M. Night is a very talented Director/Producer/Writer, and every director out there can have 1 or 2 miss fires. He (M. Night) does give what we want(maybe not with Village & Lady), but I think it's unfair to leak anything out to spoil anything! We all may be surprised...He has what it takes & has proven it!!

I do agree that his first movies were better though. I loved “Lady In The Water” and “the Village” and I’m Sure “the Happening” will be just as good. I do agree that his first movies

Shame on you... I’m with you on this one, Darren

Shame on you…
