BLINDNESS, the film

Blindness is the worst film I have seen in a long, long time. I was unconcerned that blind people were protesting it, thinking it was perhaps hypersensitivity or overreaction, but even I, a seeing person, am offended by how they portrayed blind people. I am offended that this even passes for entertainment. Even if I were stupid enough not to realize that this is a totally unrealistic portrayal of how the blind would act, even under circumstances of sudden blindness, I would be bored and disgusted by this film. We left an hour or so into it, at my insistence. We then asked the theatre for free tickets to another film (not because it was a horrid, horrid film, but because the theatre was extremely cold and the people behind us were very loud).

Meanwhile, back in real life, I am grateful for my sight. Hence the picture of pretty flowers from a recent walk I took.
