The world is changing, human beings are developing, and the higher the level of civilization, the closer human beings are to death. According to incomplete statistics, in the future, human beings will be killed by robots, poisoned by viruses, and killed by biochemical xenogeneic species... In THE HAPPENING, human beings will be poisoned by invisible, colorless, odorless, and nameless gases; as long as a gust of wind blows, People became sluggish, and then committed suicide in various ways, including jumping off a building, lying on a lawnmower, crashing a car, etc. They would never stop until they killed themselves. The whole film is shocking and desperate, especially the part of the construction site, where one migrant worker falls off, another migrant worker falls, the foreman looks up, the migrant workers roll forward and backward in various postures for 8 and a half weeks, all black and falling from the sky. , how tragic the scene is. The film probably refers to an environmental protection issue, showing the anger of Mother Earth after being seriously polluted. Humans are unavoidable and asking for trouble. Rating four stars.
