Undescribable Perfection
Overrated and overhyped
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Good actors, dull movie. It starts off interesting and decays into a dull morbid, depressing and unrealistic B movie. Makes about as much sense as "Killer Clowns From Outer Space", at least that had some humor in it. It's "Lord of the Flies" goes blind. And it doesn't get a sight better.
The film does not match what I have imagined when I read the book. The scenario of the film is quite similar to the story however the image, the way it's filmed and the colours caused a lost of originality that the book offers, the book has lost its soul when it has been filmed. Worth watching though.
I don't realize how it's possible to miss completely the point of the book in which the author himself keeps reminding you it'a an allegory. Everything that could go wrong in this movie, went wrong. THE WORST adaptation of any novel I have ever seen. Boring, pointless, with a completely wrong atmosphere and poorly represented characters, fleeting, offensive to the book, just TERRIBLE and a total waste of time. There is absolutely nothing to see here. I've watched better movies that were rated 2.5.
Based on a popular novel by the Portuguese Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago, Blindness (2008) is a dystopian tale of survival in the face of a pandemic.Blindness opens with an affluent Japanese businessman suddenly blocking traffic during rush hour. Inexplicably blinded, he is unable to continue driving and a seemingly good Samaritan offers to help him. When they arrive at the Japanese man's upscale apartment, however, the "good Samaritan" steals his car and escapes. Soon the entire city is overtaken by a pandemic of "white blindness", like driving in a snow storm. The pandemic becomes global. Read the entire review at: www.unhealedwound.com
