Blindness

this is one of the best movies i've ever seen

From a novel of one of the best writer ever - José Saramago.
Good movie, even if not so great as the novel, but it can be an impossible task.

I didn't read the book so I can't say anything about the adaptation but I can say the movie was great. Worth every second!!

Fernando Meirelles is a great director, no doubt about it. Blindness is a philosophical masterpiece where the blind are those who see and those who see are blind. Unbelievable plot, outstanding actors.

Blindness (2008) - ❤x7

This is almost a comical observation of blindness as a contagious disease - at least at first until it all gets way too real and horrible. Julianne Moore played a real badass!
The sudden blindness itself is not explained - nor why she (appears) to be the only one who's immune.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

This ended up going a different direction than I imagined going it, but it was still a pretty decent movie. It started out a little slow, but it definitely kept me interested for the entire length of the film.

A dark post-apocalyptic movie with a heavy drama setting.
It is a movie that is certainly interesting to watch, even though it does tend to borrow a lot of its aspects from other (more succesfully worked out) movie plots like 'Das Experiment' and other doomsday movies. The ending is a bit weak, even though they tried to make it original, and some charater choices are debatable.
But even with that this is a movie worth watching.

incredibly far fetched, trying too hard to shock the audience. i mean, why would the government deprive them of food? why would they not send care-staff in hazmat suits? semi-enjoyable if you can look past how unrealistic it is. a good ending i thought though.

If you're into reading books, I'd suggest picking José Saramago's novel and reading it instead of watching this. Blindness is a must-read in my book for any book-reading person, but this movie.... it isn't, forgive the pun, a must-see. It ain't bad but it ain't Saramago.

Didn't evoke me the feel of the novel. I could barely feel the anguish, the desperation, the frustration, the ugliness and filthiness. It was a nice adaptation but nah, it could've been better.
