'Blindness' Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video
Imagine that you wake up one morning, your start doing breakfast and everything seems normal, at first. Suddenly, your partner tells you that he cannot see, his blind. Then you see that the whole city and all people around you, also are turning blind. You, then see the effects, that has on the community and witness how the society, starts to collapse.
That is the core of the movie Blindness, that is based on, the Nobel Prize Winner, Jose Saramago's novel, with the same name. The book tells the story how an epidemic plague of blindness is spread throughout a city and describes how the society starts to fall apart, from the effects of everybody turning blind.
You get to witness how the social network stops to function, how families are separated and how violence and diseases spreads, throughout the community.
At first, Jose was reluctant to sell the movie rights, since it is a violent book about social degradation and rape and he didn't want it to get into the wrong hands. However, Niv Fichman, the producer and Don McKellar, the screenwriter, convinced, Jose Saramago, to sell the movie rights.
The plot of the movie follows the book, rather well. Following the doctors wife, played by Julianne Moore, the only one that can still see and her husband, the doctor, played by Mark Ruffalo. Mark, wore contact lenses, so that he wouldn't see while he was acting. The film focus on how the people would try to overcome the horrific effects, the blindness, has on the society they live in.
Blindness is directed by Fernando Meirelles, that also directed the Oscar winning movie, The Constant Gardener.
The movie blindness, will have a limited release in the U.S., on 12 September 2008.
