@xMizzDollFacex yeah the acting is SHIT and there is like, no plot.
I read the novel this movie is based off of. I have not seen the movie though.
@ihazachi a for real? damn!
i remember watching this in theaters but i cant recall it coming out on dvd.
Best movie
this movie was AWFUL
@shayorshayorshayor Ignorant would mean that I simply lacked the knowledge. How am I being ignorant here? As I have said, starvation affects the mind. Even semi-starvation affects the mind. There are studies on this online.
thumbs up if you counted the bullets of the gun while watching the whole movie?
@JerrBear81. i was going to fill up the comment box to reply to you. and i already wrote it, but i just realized your going to be very ignorant seeing all the comment you replied to? i am trying to understand what your trying to say but i am saying stuff againts the film and how unrealistic it is if the scenerio was like that, but you are with it. but w.e
@cyclonehunter87 Starvation. Starvation makes people do things they’d never do if they had food.
@shayorshayorshayor You’re not taking into account how starvation and overcrowding can affect the mind. And just because someone is sighted doesn’t mean they’re some superbeing capable of anything. How was she going to get a van when they wouldn’t even be let out by the military men who were keeping them quarantined? How was she going to get a van when they were free but gas had been used up or there were no keys?
@FallenDespair The gun annoyed me. Now, I can buy that they had more bullets stored elsewhere. But during the scene where the blind-all-along guy shoots multiple times in the fire? No. He should’ve been out of bullets before his last few shots.
@baldblackman06 The problem is he always had that gun. Even if he was asleep, what if he woke up? Just because he can’t see doesn’t mean he won’t feel her trying to take the gun. Even when she stabbed him someone else got the gun.
@JerrBear81 yeah especially it was a six shooter that shot like 50 bullets … so unrealistic.
ok i am going to say it straight up. for starters… no one grew beards or got like sick or anything like that.. if i was the only person who can see, I AM GIFTED! i would get out with my group, and fucking get a van that works. get some living supply. and fucking go find guns. i would be the king. the woman is stupid because she can see and she didnt kill that evil guy in the thing. like there is a big crisis going on but she is too scared to kill? the ppl who response to me are obviusli older
great book from Saramago .
great movie from Meirelles :]
@MoreLikeMe929
yes the book was incredible.. after having seen the trailer, perhaps i’m glad i never saw the movie..
there is an eye infection that can cause rapid blindness…not too common here in the US. When I had an eye infection the doctor scared me when she told me about it. Any eye infection you have should be treated right away to prevent this from happening.
To sum up. The storyline was decent; the book may have been a lot better but I am not going to bother reading it, for fear that it will be as mind fuckingly frusterating to read as the movie was to watch.
To sum up:
The only blind person alive decides to sacrifice her freedom to take care of her blind husband. This part is fine; she seems courageous. WAIT WHY IS SHE LETTING HERSELF GET RAPED BY A SMALL GROUP OF BLIND PEOPLE. OMG SHE’S LETTING OTHERS GET RAPED AS WELL.
@Blacklash2k4
I watched the movie, and what you said makes zero sense. Perhaps she reacted differently to the situation in the book than the movie, but she chose to be there taking care of everyone. Her husband cheated on her while she was doing it, and she still stayed.
She “couldn’t stand taking care of the group of blind people” so much that when they escaped from the asylum, she continued taking care of a large group of them.
@jesscutiehott if you’ve read the book, i think you’ll understand what this movie is really about. it’s simply about humanity. how it is flawed and how at the same time it can be uplifting. to view the doctor’s wife’s character simply as the “savior/ hero” would be too simplistic and would completely destroy what Saramago was trying to say all along.
This was an AMAZING movie…it accurately depicts what would happen if such an epidemic were to occur… really shows how animalistic the human race really is…
There are SO many themes in this movie. i’d recommend this for anyone. especially sociologists, psychologists, fuck it everyone
@cyclonehunter87 You obvious don’t understand the concept of the movie and novel. She couldn’t stand taking care of the group of blind people. She couldn’t stand watching the corruption that occurs in the asylum. Read the fucking damn book and watch the damn movie before posting something so retarded >>”
@Pinface34 Read the book.
