The Movie Blindness has many pros and cons from my perspective. It didnt really feel like a 2 hr movie but that was alright for me. I feel like the book gave more than the movie, like it told a scenario from each persons perspective. The movie can never be compared to the book at all, even though it was a good movie and we can visualize more of the things that were going on in the book. Especially when they spoke about how the people were living in slums and had to do everything in their nature to survive. So to me I think the movie can be a great representation of the book if you can imagine in your own head what you are reading.

Hi Sydney:
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the book gave more than the movie. To me the movie only gave parts of the book that stood out most like the internees going blind, the doctor having sex with the woman with the dark glasses, and the woman getting raped. But they never included scenes from the book such as the woman eating the live rabbits, or the more dramatic yet romantic scene between the woman with the dark glasses and the old man with the eyepatch. From the book, we feel more emotions and get more deep into the storyline because in a book the author is allowed to give an endless amount of pages that could go into detail about different scenes. But with a movie it could only be so long. Because the movie was so limited, to me it felt unfinished. Maybe they could've added more relevant scenes towards the end like the other internees regaining their eyesight so the movie could've felt more complete and worth watching.
