This movie is not for everyone and I’m in the camp of “It’s not for me.” I wasn’t really bothered by unexplained subjects in the movie such as – where the blindness came from, why only one character aloof had scrutinize, what country/city the movie was taking station in, even the inaugurate ending quality of the last scene didn’t faze me (though I mediate these things might annoy other viewers) . I unprejudiced didn’t derive this movie necessarily notion provoking or exceptionally well done simply because of it’s depiction of a group of people (most likely a metaphor for larger society) gradually succumbing to desperation after being build and left in irascible conditions. I’ve seen this kind of chronicle line done other times . . . (Lord of the Flies comes to mind) and I never obtain the fascination. Unbiased because a tale is murky and depressing doesn’t perform it magic gold for me.
Part of my detest for the movie stems from what I found to be scenes done more to shock the unsuspecting eyes of the audience then to some how whisper the epic line better. For instance I had issues with the graphic rapping of the women (which seems to be a current do of victimization writers attach in these movies) . Honest the scene of the women coming support from ward 3, passe, beaten up, and carrying the naked lifeless body of one of the women is enough, in my thought, to regain the point across. But the director felt the need to note as considerable debasing and violence done to the women as he could collect away with. (From my plan the rape scene was meant to be longer but some female audience members in the 1st screenings of the movie were getting up and walking out so the director edited it – [...]Another direct that bothered me was the map the film was directed. Every glare or white surface dwelling shown in the film suddenly became hyper-white . . . meaning the whiteness unbiased got over exaggerated. Some people may bag that a nice creative touch, but I found it annoying after awhile factual along with the unusual blurring and awkward camera angles.

Notwithstanding, some of the situation details left me sitting there like “I acquire the feeling they’re going for a realistic reach with this movie but . . . Do they examine me to gain this? ” For Example -
-Why would a guy who suddenly goes blind while driving opt to objective go home instead of going to the hospital correct away?
-I honest can’t ogle a person who is standing in the middle of a substandard perambulate, who looks reasonably sane, pleading for encourage and getting ignored by everyone around him. Not even the drivers of the cars that are managing to avoid running him over call out a simple “Find the hell of the street!” to him.
-Why would the guards at the facility who have been talking to the blind people all along (though primarily through a bull horn . . . ) suddenly peek a stray man leave a line and rather than say “cessation where you’re at” or even “earn serve in line”, they don’t say a word but determine to shot the guy instead?
(I feel like there was this straining moral from the beginning of the movie to expose this “study . . . survey how cruel humans are? ” theme even before societal structures broke down and conditions deteriorated into madness.)
-Oh and like another reviewer mentioned – honest how many bullets was in that gun being waved around by the King of Ward 3? There was never any mention that the King had more ammunition. There was never any scene of him or Mr. Blind-from-Birth reloading the gun. Yet they fair kept firing away like they had a magical gun that never ran out of bullets.
-And I have to say, if these people in the facility were on the edge . . . at one point willing to do anything for food, why revolt and killing the tormentors never seemed like a reasonable option is a mystery to me. The oppressors only had one gun and the two other wards save together theoretically out number Ward 3. I’m thinking Ward 3 could have been over powered with enough reasonable planning. But I guess such action would not go with the overall running theme of showing humans as spoiled, pathetic, and worst than rabid animals.
But anyway, if you honestly be pleased watching movies that are “gross, ugly, [and] violent” or like movies that result in “conversation about the imperfect nature of humanity in the face of adversity” than this movie would be for you. Some of the other issues I had with this movie probably wouldn’t bother you. But for the rest of us I guess we’ll stick to something else.
Jose Saramago’s Blindness is a smart masterpiece on human blindness. The theme of blindness is an allegory. This is not the sci-fi film some people (that didn’t read the book, might I add) idea I would be, hence, the transient blindness suffered by the characters needs not be explained like a zombie pandemic.
Having said that, this movie is a straight, scene to scene adaptation from the book, and that’s it’s biggest weakness. Great of, if not absolutely all of Saramago’s prose and poetry is lost, creating an austere and rustic feel. It doesn’t leave definite the fact that you’re watching a literary event. It’s not the legend you divulge it’s how well you deliver it. And this retelling leave remarkable to be desired.
Screenwriter takes the safest trot, from a to b leaving all the subtext and commentary of the human condition, which, is the book’s main grief.
Also, production wise this movie is okay and nothing more. The actors are all top notch but the camera prefers to point at the production acquire and blur randomly and purposeless here and there. The attention given to the film’s glimpse is distinct from the very inaugurate but a dirtier search for would have fitted it better. The white backdrop that affects the entire movie (a la THX) feels too gimmicky and is counterproductive to the yarn, as they never tie it in properly with the white blindness theme.
All of the considerable political comment intended by the author is unfortunately utterly and completely gone.
Book adaptations never aloof satisfy everyone. I’ve seen very minute cases where the film actually compares with the book (Stephen King’s The Shawshank Redemption, Michael Cunningham’s The Hours reach to mind) and I’m guessing this movie would have benefited from Fran Walsh or David Hare as screenwriters, or even a more humble production leaving the actor do what they do.
In conclusion, read the book even if you hated the movie. It’s not terrible but judging by the book’s potential something grandiose could have reach out of this.
The book is a wonderful read, at times laughable, at times murky, always cunning, at moments even sorrowful but overall a satisfying experience.
