The Deer Hunter
The Deer Hunter took on the challenge of telling the story of the Vietnam war, a heavy topic. Though the film featured many Hollywood stars including Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro, and Meryl Streep, it was still surrounded by controversy. The film features intense torture scenes, which many have said are not accurate at all, and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War even protested against the film’s misrepresentation of the true horrors that went on.
The Happening
The Happening is an M. Night Shyamalan film starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. The film was meant to be a horror film, but many said that it was so bad that it ended up being funny instead of scary. Perhaps that was the reason that even Wahlberg spoke out and said that the film was awful.
