no the doctor's wife never went blind at the end, not in the movie, not in the book.. the next book is called seeing everyone has their sight & a whole new problem arises
im buying the book tomorrow just watched the film on line my god it was awsome gonna get the dvd so i can take it on holiday i highly recomend thsie film
yeah they have to make a follow up coz i think the main actress went blind at the end but see the film its awsome and its a happy ending for the blind ppl thats all im saying lol
The book is trully amazing. It provides a thrilling description of human nature at its worst and im sure this film is great too. Idiots (people who don't like the film or book) wouldn't understand because Metaphors are too difficult of a concept for them to grasp.
Rape is unpleasant and it shouldn't be sugarcoated. If you can't handle the reality of it (and I'm not saying I can) it doesn't mean the film is terrible. It means there is evil in the world and it's natural for man to convey his perspective on it in art.
Seriously some people are just dumb to understand xD
All the context of the movie is a huge metaphore of the society's ignorance. Saramago did not just thought of making a book where blind people walk around in a building and go nuts. Can't wait to see the movie btw
i haven't seen the movie yet, but i'd like to recomend a 1981 BBC miniseries Day of the triffids, that has similar story: almost all go blind and the social order colapsed.Very good adaptation.
If you don´t like the movie don´t watch it. Simply as that.For me Saramago rules, and Nobel Academy also thinks that.Or are you just another conservative and ignorant prick.
Stop spamming all the blindness vid with your dumb crap.
I'm sorry you were unable to understand the movie. I'm also sorry you felt aroused by sex scenes which are supposed to be horrible and shocking (i assume you did, since you call it porno).
Blindness is a cult book, arguably among the best ever written. So just because you're too fucking dumb to understand it, don't go around trying to turn off people from seeing a great movie so you can feel better about your own retardation.
How dare you! You are an evil person for even suggesting this movie is good. You trick people into seeing the shittiest movie of all time and feel good about it. You must be the devil to do such heinous crimes. I wonder how you can sleep at night you raging homosexual oh wait the gays would be ashamed that you are part of their group so your probably a transsexual.
Lmfao i dont care about your sexual orientation that last part wasn't written by me. Also please have some self respect and try not to tell us what you do. I have the right to freedom of speech and i love how you people say freedom of speech for your own causes or anything but as soon as someone opposes your views you persecute them for their freedom of speech. Also don't call me a jesus freak I am not particulary religious fanatic so why don't you think about that and then apologize to me.
Oh you don't? Curiously it was you who brought it up in the first place and tried to use it as an insult.
You didn't wrote it? Your name seems to be on it. Who did it than? The underpants gnomes? LOL
As for that freedom of speech BS, you have every right to not like the movie and express it. But you do not have the right to insult those of us who do like it. Capiche?
You are the ones who have insulted me and started with the name calling i was just saying how this movie is really awful. I expect you to apologize for your rudeness and how immature you have acted.
For you to understand the real meaning of this movie you must know who wrote it and what message it conveys.
Yes, it was written by the great portuguese writer Jose Saramago (nobel prize winner). Yes, he is a proud communist. Yes, his book was created as a satire for today's capitalism and greed. Yes, he thinks most of the people in the world it's blind.
Now that I told you all this, go watch the movie again.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how dare all you people lie you should all be ashamed of yourselves. You actually considered this movie good. There was so much sex i didnt know if it was a porno or a thriller. Also more than half the movie is them being quarantined which it doesn't even show on the trailers. This movie is a big disappointment since the wicker man it had a good concept but failed to roll with it. There are many boring scenes and i thought it got off to a slow start but the whole movie was slow. Do not see movie
O livro é magnífico, como todos do Saramago, e Fernando Meirelles contar essa história é maravilhoso pois desmitifica os cineastas brasileiros, que só se atraem pela miséria e pelo exotismo do país. Meirelles se propõem a contar uma história universal e a encarar a obra prima que é o livro homônimo, por isso dou-lhe os parábens.
So,this is how they want to do it?An infection of some kind to destroy the superfluous masses?It is getting clear how the elite are going to bring down the world's population eh?Strange that people do not see (blindness?)the way the media are forming public expectance and slowly making the new ideas known.If and when an epidemic strikes, just remember lots of people will go "I told you so" but then it will be too late. Keep consuming, sheeple, keep voting for the wrong people and end up dead...
woww...you make sense. that just sounds like a bunch of crap. we are talking about a movie here, and a sick one at that! nobody is going to end up dead...?
man, this is based on a book that was written in 1995. you can't blame a movie for being about an epidemic and people being quarantined when the source material was written way before this new trend of movies came out. besides. some of the great movies these past couple of the years have involved an epidemic or people being quarantined. [Rec] for example is one of the best horror films i have ever seen. and. this isn't brain washing anyone. read the book. its amazing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first of all it has no relevance at all when the material is written. The fact still remains that yes there have multiple recent movies involving an epidemic and quarantine.
What is relevant here, is the fact people dont see this as a problem, like you for example
I don't see it as a problem that these movies are being made. I love quarantine movies because they're so horrifying and wrong. Just 'cause I like the movies doesn't mean I'm going to agree to something like that happening in real life.
@sarahamechazurra that's the idea of the movie, and the film. And that's exactly what Saramago thought when he decided to write this. He once talked about it in an interview, he said: "I was sitting on that restaurant when I thought... what if... everyone were blind? And right away I answered myself: But we already are."
I'm afraid that too:S...I'm not afraid of infection or diseases ifnot from that day when I will wake up and the only thing that I read in the newspaper, see in television, hear from people is shocking. Everything looks normal around me but how could I be so sure that nothing bad is happening on the other side of the world? Fear...the only thing that can make our life shorter beacuse after a long time...we become tired and old and realize that nothing remained for us but fear.
I feared the worst but it looks as though this might be in keeping with the spirit of Saramago's masterpiece. That having been said, I don't remember the line 'God is punishing us'!? Bernal as a baddie, interesting.
If i´m right, the band is called Uakiti, and they are from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. They are playing in alternative instruments, build by himselves, with a lot of materials that you can realize.
I cant wait to wacht it! I realy like the book and the work of Fernando Meirelles. This trailer remind me "28 Days Later", one of my favorites movies.
