Many people said that they couldn't understand the movie, or that they understood what happened but couldn't understand what the director wanted to say. Many people have grasped the story about the sudden disappearance of bees told by the male lead at the beginning of the story, and also noticed Einstein's sentence that if all bees on earth disappear, then humans will also perish in four years. It was as if this was not a science fiction movie, but a metaphysical and theological movie. However, have you noticed the answer from the cool guy? He said that this is a supernatural phenomenon that people cannot explain. The male lead also affirmed this answer. In fact, the essence of the movie is here. The beginning of the story already shows what the director wants to express: some things cannot be solved by science temporarily or forever. Science can only try to study, explain, and try to draw universal laws. Conclusion, but this does not solve everything. With the current level of human science and technology, there are some things you can only go with the flow. In the second half of the story, the male protagonist also cited an example of an outbreak of ancient bacteria off the coast of Australia. This example actually solves all the problems of the movie. When you want to explain some incredible things, you lose. Because it really cannot be explained under the existing knowledge system. Just like the movie's name "THE HAPPENING", some things happen suddenly and disappear suddenly, beyond explanation.
When these unexplainable things happen, people are helpless, helpless, and desperate. However, this does not mean that people are willing to "GO DIE" easily, or at least, people have the right to choose the way of death. Just like the hero in the story, if he wants to die, he chooses to be with the heroine. The director does not want to express the values of love that can overcome all other bad streets. He is just trying to tell us that there are always things in the world that we cannot explain. It is futile if you want to break your scalp. Let things happen naturally. If the world is destined to be destroyed, it will be destroyed, at least you can enjoy the last time. This seems to be a bit of Lao Tzu's "inaction" thought in it. Although it sounds very metaphysical. It feels like fate, but it’s not like that. In front of this kind of “THE HAPPENING”, you just need to try to live, enjoy life, and cherish the people, things, things, and other things around you. You don't have to think about it, and you can't think of it.
