[warning: this film has strong violence, nudity and disturbing situations]
Intense, gripping and hard to watch at times.
Blindness is an adaptation based on the Nobel Prize for Literature winner by the same name. It is about a city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. (imdb)
Thriller, Drama and Mystery
Blindness puts human nature under the microscope and focuses on the extent to which it can become when left unattended. I saw this movie 2 years ago and the dreadful events that took place still haunts me. Blindness lays out in extreme the weakness, barbaric actions and greed of people when put into desperate situations.
This is not a feel good movie or a movie to watch for some entertainment. Blindness is a movie that you reflect on and to think about. Can make you feel uncomfortable, but does so to make you realize something.
The acting is great and to the point.
Not for everyone, calls for a tough audience. If you have a strong mind and the guts for it, this movie is definitely worth checking out because the content (and the original book) is gripping and deep.
