I've always thought that Mark Wahlberg's Character in this move is the most relatable hero ever. He had no idea what was going on. Ever. Just like everyone else.
But he was Science Teacher Guy! That's some relatable bon-a feed-aas! I like that as an attempt at a legit science teacher, he has the class go through the Scientific Method on their way out. I don't like that he then forgets most of it, except noticing some obvious patterns, and just defaults to "I don't know". That's like Step 0 of the Scientific Method. This is most appreciated as a comedy. :-D
Also it confirms a theory I've heard for a while: they took either the first or worst takes for this movie. That girl's reaction is probably her hearing how truly awful the script was for the very first time... And it MADE IT IN THE FINAL PRODUCT!😄😄😄
She needs an interview and page on rotten tomatoes cause she gave the realest performance ever. Her, and the horse that scrapped on cue in game of thrones are the realest actors in the business
Can’t blame you, I’ve been there. I know there’s at least one or two more dudes I keep getting mixed up with them but I’m not sure who they are. Kevin Bacon might be one? I dunno, Bacon and Damon at least have the same vowels in the same location. And then there’s Mark Wahlberg’s brother. Donnie, I think? No clue if I could tell one from the other.
Alma scared me more than anything else in this movie. The way she just stands where she is with her eyes and mouth wide open, not blinking or moving at all
who ever casted her did a terrible job. i forgot the name of the actress but she is trash at playing any character that has a personality other than being quirky and goofy. her facial expressions really annoyed watching this movie lol
My uncle showed me "The Day after Tomorrow", "After Earth", and "The Happening" all on the same day, actually. Definitely never driving 2 hours to get to his house again
This is the 20th time I watched this just to see the girl on the right's reaction when I realized the girl on the left did the same thing! lol. I bet they had a good laugh about that line afterward.
I loved Walhberg in this he was so enjoyable. It was like watching someone desperately try to win against all odds but the stakes were only like 5 dollars so they didnt really care that much.
Tentons O'fun yeah he did that in planet of the apes, too. But if you really enjoy Wahlberg doing what he’s doing you’d have to watch the German synchro well no you’d have to listen to it oc. Him standing in front of a bunch of hillbillies saying „come on“ in that voice that clearly says „I sure would understand if it’s too much of a hustle so just pick your own ground but I will later repeatedly inform you that I TOLD YOU SO“
I'll tell ya, Wahlburg's acting in this movie is extremely underrated. He took a movie that was destined to be awful, and elevated it into an outright joke of a film.
I really would like to know what kind of drugs M.Night did while he directed the Happening and lady in the water. Which is equally retarded. All the names of that movie + that amazing tone deaf self insert from M.Night as the "prophecy writer" that will publish art that won't get the appreciation that it deserves...

M. Night said that he had intended for this to be the modern equivalent of a B Movie, but with blockbuster funding. We in the business call this a "parody retcon" - it wasn't meant to be a joke until after people said it was bad.
@@christopherlewis1315 "The Lady In The Water" is B-A-D--- That's a slow paced film that tries to tell a relevant story, but just falls flat. At least "The Happening" keeps the story moving forward at a pace that doesn't put the audience to sleep. If Night intended to create a B-Movie type thriller, mission accomplished. Is the premise, plants turning on mankind, silly? You bet! Still, I can think of twenty films far more boring than this one. Watching Wahlberg actually play a role other than himself, is reason enough to watch this movie. Is it cheesy horror? Absolutely. That's a large part of it's charm. Eventually this movie will get the respect it deserves. On a 10-scale, I rate it a 6.7.
If it is pollen they are all doomed. As a person with allergies I can safely say it is only a matter of time it will get you and will make you suffer. Even in a house because of air transfer. You would need to be like the bubble boy to even have a chance.
Or at least a handkerchief, dust mask or anything really, if you thought plants in the wind were making people crazy - it would be sensible to assume it was pollen.
I loved it when he first described it as a dark, challenging thriller, then when audiences laughed at it, he said "Oh, it's supposed to be campy - it's an intentional B movie"!
Now, I'm a quiet human being when it comes to watching films in theaters, but, man, was i laughing my ass off in the theaters when Mark said "what? No!" 😆 🤣
You guys should redo EWW The Last Airbender. I know it's one of your very first videos, but I don't think 5 minutes gives that shit movie enough justice to sin.
The people in the background didn't necessarily connect to anyone though Wouldn't you at least attempt to call your family in that situation, even if you suspected the call wouldn't get through
I was little when I saw this movie for the first time and I was soo confused and was asking so many questions that my brother yelled at me told me to get out😂😂 10 years later, still confused😂
12:52 "Trees communicate with bushes etc..." bit. Fun Fact: Not actually as crazy as it sounds. Groves of trees will actually communicate with each other through what is called a mycorrhizal network. Basically a really cool fungus on their root system that allows them to share nutrients and water and even communicate distress from pest damage. Ex. If a tree on the outside of the grove is experiencing drought conditions but the center of the grove has access to moisture, the trees on the inside of the grove will actually send moisture through the mycorrhizal network to the struggling tree to help it survive. This is usually strongest between plants of the same species, but they have been known to form "alliances" with other species nearby.
That's really interesting! Problem with Shamylan is he takes a fact like that and (instead of stretching it to a REASONABLE place of science-fiction) goes bat sh*t crazy with it! There's an art to having the audience sloooowly suspend their disbelief.
@@nunureds837 agreed. Even if he just localized the event to a particular town or city instead of world wide it would make it more believable. Also poor script writing, instead of the plant guy coming off like a strange hippie he could have been given a higher field of study or credentials of some sort even and less vague lines presented in a better manner and it would have made plants talking to kill the human race ten times more believable. Also, the greenhouse scene still confuses me, it's a contained smaller area full of plants, you'd expect it to kill anyone that entered on the spot, are greenhouse plants suddenly sentient enough to become domesticated and not kill people?
Hahaha fking Mouth of Madness sequel confirmed. Random county in the middle of nowhere that somehow cant be discovered by anyone but can somehow be visited
I remember seeing this in the cinema. A few minutes into the movie the show a shot of the trees, I turned to my friend and said as a joke "it's the trees". Damn did we laugh hard when it turned out to be the trees lol
Nice to see that Cameron was able to finish school, even with Ferris talking him into taking days off, and become a school administrator. Warms my heart. 3:28.
"What! No" "Oh. Ok then glad to hear it, see you tomorrow" Pretty sure if swoleberg wanted to kill the decrepit single 80 year old woman he wouldnt bother waiting until she was asleep
@@dredayalldayerday Wahlberg wanted to say: "Look, Bitch, if I wanted you dead, you'd have woken up that way!" Fortunately, he actually had to play a character unlike himself, and managed to do it.
Add a sin for the physics-defying “wine” that Mark haphazardly throws around at 15:25 ! They really couldn’t have made at least that one cup an actual liquid? 🤣
I dont know how anyone on set or in editing could watch that and not laugh. Even M Night had to be laughing, a reshoot would have taken 4 seconds it was intentionally left in because it was surreal and funny and they must have known it. It's blooper level acting
Theory: Whatever is "happening", happened before the movie even started, and damaged people's mind ever so slightly. It made people infected by it to act stiff, overreact and have no way to stop their impulses, as well as make them susceptible to paranoia. People started to have intrusive thoughts, those we all have but ignore, but they couldn't ignore them. People in tall places felt the "call of the void" and jumped before realizing what they were doing. The cop probably started thinking "what would it feel to shoot myself" and did it, the other guy picked up the gun and walked before having that same thought, then the lady saw two guys doing it and thought it could also happen to her, so she also shot herself. The survivors are people who, for their own brain configuration, didn't had these specific thoughts, but we see them act on other things we try to do on public or things we might consider idiotic. This would have been a great reveal if at the end, we could see someone outside the affected area acting like an actual people, trying to communicate with someone affected.
Can we take a second to appreciate Zooey Deschanel's performance in this movie? Sometimes an actor reads a script and says to themselves, "Oh, great, I can just take a nap during filming." Live that dream, Zooey.
You missed the fact that the guy giving the announcement to the teachers told them, “I spoke with the head of schools.” Which is, like, a superintendent?? But M. Night didn’t know that word or something 😂 Big stupid sin overlooked
Does anyone find that there is something genuinely unsettling about the concept of the film even though so much is ridiculous or just plain bad? So yeah, the acting is beyond awful, the leads are wooden and artificial. The plot dismisses all kinds of logic and reason in ways that spit on their own premise. It just plays out poorly in general. But the whole image of being in a large area that is beset with a plague, in a sense, is frightening. Being in the situation they're in, trapped and forced to try and escape on foot, not knowing what's going on and seeing people suddenly just switch personalities and kill themselves by the thousands, all help cut off and helpless to stop anyone from acting on their impulses... All pretty scary. Maybe they expected that sincerely scary idea to carry the movie and that's why they didn't bother to write it properly or hire someone who could deliver lines without acting like a kid who's trying to pretend he didn't smoke weed at a party.
I actually agree. In fact, personally I almost suspect the movie is borderline genius. Like M Night planned the entire thing to be so weirdly surreal with bad acting, non sense plot, warped people, unnatural reactions to events and other things and combined it with a simple but haunting score made it feel like there was a lot of things really really off with what was happening. Like the phenomenon was affecting the viewers. By not explaining it it helped spread the paranoia aspect (though I never really felt the paranoia noone turned on each other and there was no real hint of a conspiracy) and by throwing out alot of logic it made the whole sequence really unpredictable. Whatever it was trying to do essentially ended up failing as it wasnt all that scary and whilst it was rather funny it didnt really seem to try to be but there was a kind of unique feel to this movie I havent gotten with many others. If I was going to name it I would call it Confusion Horror.
@@barrylyndon5552 It's definitely not genius. A genius film would be very entertaining without awfulness. Is the premise great? Yes! Is the execution terrible? Yes. Tombstone is genius. The Happening isn't genius.
@@LinksBetweenDrinks Well Val Kilmer definitely stole the show but other than that and the costumes i only saw Tombstone a bit above average. Nah I dont really think The Happening is genius it has a bit of a cult status but thats more for the weirdness and Walhbergs acting which was very off putting. Was it intentional? Dunno probably not but it did have a very surreal feel to it. Genius is going a bit far though yeah.
@@DepressedCutter I literally just finished watching this movie about 30mins ago (so before watching this video) and it's genuinely one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life..

@@ms.bubs4fun506 right. The buildup of the story is quite good from start to middle. But it all went down the drain due to the nature of the film's dilemma
Thanks for the video! I had to watch this one. This is one of those movies that you actually wonder what the hell they were thinking after watching the final cut and saying ok, this is it.
I think this one of those movies that got made because it has some cool visuals like the opening scene with people falling, John Leguizamo walking from the car crash, Alma head bashing the windows, Wahlberg pretending to be an actor, this kind of stuff

If it is pollen they are all doomed. As a person with allergies I can safely say it is only a matter of time it will get you and will make you suffer. Even in a house because of air transfer. You would need to be like the bubble boy to even have a chance.

Do YOU have a gas mask just laying around??

I completely agree
When the train dude said they lost contact with everyone you can see people in the background using their phones and calling people
The people in the background didn't necessarily connect to anyone though
Wouldn't you at least attempt to call your family in that situation, even if you suspected the call wouldn't get through
True but you do some people talking on their phones not just trying but yeah for the most part you're right

I love the cataloguing of all the Mark Wahlberg shocked and confused faces.
12:52 "Trees communicate with bushes etc..." bit. Fun Fact: Not actually as crazy as it sounds. Groves of trees will actually communicate with each other through what is called a mycorrhizal network. Basically a really cool fungus on their root system that allows them to share nutrients and water and even communicate distress from pest damage. Ex. If a tree on the outside of the grove is experiencing drought conditions but the center of the grove has access to moisture, the trees on the inside of the grove will actually send moisture through the mycorrhizal network to the struggling tree to help it survive. This is usually strongest between plants of the same species, but they have been known to form "alliances" with other species nearby.
Ashley Dennis and I’m confused now
@@nayru_7 how so?

That's really interesting! Problem with Shamylan is he takes a fact like that and (instead of stretching it to a REASONABLE place of science-fiction) goes bat sh*t crazy with it! There's an art to having the audience sloooowly suspend their disbelief.
@@nunureds837 agreed. Even if he just localized the event to a particular town or city instead of world wide it would make it more believable. Also poor script writing, instead of the plant guy coming off like a strange hippie he could have been given a higher field of study or credentials of some sort even and less vague lines presented in a better manner and it would have made plants talking to kill the human race ten times more believable. Also, the greenhouse scene still confuses me, it's a contained smaller area full of plants, you'd expect it to kill anyone that entered on the spot, are greenhouse plants suddenly sentient enough to become domesticated and not kill people?
I'm just bummed he missed the obviously fake wine in the dinner scene since it doesn't move when he tilts the glass

Came here to say this 😂
"What? No." In retrospect, this has to be a comedy.
I dont know how anyone on set or in editing could watch that and not laugh. Even M Night had to be laughing, a reshoot would have taken 4 seconds it was intentionally left in because it was surreal and funny and they must have known it. It's blooper level acting
A better title: Everything IS wrong with The Happening
What? Noooo
Yall literally say this same shit on every E.W.W vid
@@haifischh No, this movie is just fucking horrible
Theory: Whatever is "happening", happened before the movie even started, and damaged people's mind ever so slightly. It made people infected by it to act stiff, overreact and have no way to stop their impulses, as well as make them susceptible to paranoia. People started to have intrusive thoughts, those we all have but ignore, but they couldn't ignore them. People in tall places felt the "call of the void" and jumped before realizing what they were doing. The cop probably started thinking "what would it feel to shoot myself" and did it, the other guy picked up the gun and walked before having that same thought, then the lady saw two guys doing it and thought it could also happen to her, so she also shot herself. The survivors are people who, for their own brain configuration, didn't had these specific thoughts, but we see them act on other things we try to do on public or things we might consider idiotic. This would have been a great reveal if at the end, we could see someone outside the affected area acting like an actual people, trying to communicate with someone affected.
This is a very valid argument. Got me scratching my head. Why I'm commenting on a 3 year old comment? Also scratching my head. 🤔
It’s a better twist than “The trees did it.”
I still remember seeing this with my friend in the theater. When it was over we turned to each other and both said wtf did we just watch lol 😂
Can we take a second to appreciate Zooey Deschanel's performance in this movie? Sometimes an actor reads a script and says to themselves, "Oh, great, I can just take a nap during filming." Live that dream, Zooey.
I honestly thought she was on serious drugs. She seemed so zoned out and unresponsive for so much of it

"What's taking the wind so long ?....... its fucking wind" I laughed so hard at this
You missed the fact that the guy giving the announcement to the teachers told them, “I spoke with the head of schools.” Which is, like, a superintendent?? But M. Night didn’t know that word or something 😂 Big stupid sin overlooked
Does anyone find that there is something genuinely unsettling about the concept of the film even though so much is ridiculous or just plain bad? So yeah, the acting is beyond awful, the leads are wooden and artificial. The plot dismisses all kinds of logic and reason in ways that spit on their own premise. It just plays out poorly in general. But the whole image of being in a large area that is beset with a plague, in a sense, is frightening. Being in the situation they're in, trapped and forced to try and escape on foot, not knowing what's going on and seeing people suddenly just switch personalities and kill themselves by the thousands, all help cut off and helpless to stop anyone from acting on their impulses... All pretty scary. Maybe they expected that sincerely scary idea to carry the movie and that's why they didn't bother to write it properly or hire someone who could deliver lines without acting like a kid who's trying to pretend he didn't smoke weed at a party.
A good plot in a shitty script. Though The Happening is my favorite movie
Even though it’s not amazing I think bird box does a better job for sure and is a lot scarier
I actually agree. In fact, personally I almost suspect the movie is borderline genius. Like M Night planned the entire thing to be so weirdly surreal with bad acting, non sense plot, warped people, unnatural reactions to events and other things and combined it with a simple but haunting score made it feel like there was a lot of things really really off with what was happening. Like the phenomenon was affecting the viewers. By not explaining it it helped spread the paranoia aspect (though I never really felt the paranoia noone turned on each other and there was no real hint of a conspiracy) and by throwing out alot of logic it made the whole sequence really unpredictable.
Whatever it was trying to do essentially ended up failing as it wasnt all that scary and whilst it was rather funny it didnt really seem to try to be but there was a kind of unique feel to this movie I havent gotten with many others. If I was going to name it I would call it Confusion Horror.
@@barrylyndon5552 It's definitely not genius. A genius film would be very entertaining without awfulness. Is the premise great? Yes! Is the execution terrible? Yes.
Tombstone is genius. The Happening isn't genius.
@@LinksBetweenDrinks Well Val Kilmer definitely stole the show but other than that and the costumes i only saw Tombstone a bit above average. Nah I dont really think The Happening is genius it has a bit of a cult status but thats more for the weirdness and Walhbergs acting which was very off putting. Was it intentional? Dunno probably not but it did have a very surreal feel to it. Genius is going a bit far though yeah.
