Blindness (2008)
I heard that there was a book with this title, and that's made into the movie. My co-worker told me, that in the book there are no ? or ! marks, the writer even saved most of the simple point or commas. Also, the whole book is without an actual name.
The film is close to that. We don't get to hear anyone's name. The scenes flow into each other... quite strange to watch.
The film begins on the street, where a man suddenly goes blind in his car. Later more victims have the same symptoms. Among them is an eye specialist, who treated the first victim.
The government decides to put the blind people into quarantine, and the eye specialist's wife decides, that since she can see, she'll be the eyes of her husband. Later, as more and more people come, she becomes everyone's eye.
The most shocking though is how many blind people at one place behave. Like the 'nobody sees, so we can run around naked~".
If this situation would have been real, I wonder how the only seeing person would keep sane.
What I didn't understand first was why I can't turn the subtitle off... Turns out, the first victim and his wife are both Japanese, so though it's an American film, there is some talk in Japanese in it.
