Blindness
Starring: Julianna Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga, Joe Pingue and Danny Glover
The movie is about a city that is devastated with a widely spreading outbreak in which one by one people begin to go blind seeing whiteness. As more and more of the population becomes infected they are placed under quarentine in an abandoned warehouse.
I want to start off by saying that Julianna Moore carried this film, her superb acting and portrayal of her character was one of the only good things about this movie. I understand the plot of the movie showing us examples of racism, materialism and capitalism but the movie had too many scenes that were just ridiculous and boring. The storyline never gives us any insight on how when or why this virus or plague came about and by the end of the movie still no clue on what just took place.
There were a few scenes that I found rather disturbing and I advise not taking any children to see this movie. My final thoughts are that the movie had great premise but regrettably it failed to deliver. The DVD will be released on February 10th, my opinion save your money, a complete waste of time. My rating is a 3.
