civilization we go blind, without explanation.


Director Fernando Meirelles made City of god, it show the true life on growing up in the poorest zone of brazil, selling drug, corruption, and war. A movie that follow a true life, received, in manny festival's, even a oscar nomination for best foreign film. Now following with human emotion, he give us he's next picture, about a disease that make ya go blind. But is this film good or illogical, Well i can see my review:
IN average day people go to work, then go home to spend time with their love ones. But when a outbreak is release, that the country announce a state of emergency, presuming of a virus that make ya go blind. So the infected are taken into abandon Hospital where they have beds, pillow, but nothing of help or security. Just your hearing, smelling, and touching sense can guide them. That's where a immune one(Julienne Moore) bring hope to the infected, in ways on how to live. But when the hospital is full of infected, desperation come. From putting a price on the food, to the integrity of survival. Mankind must follow the eyes of a Doctor wife, to make it in a world, where seen is just all white.
OK i got to say the acting is very humane like in many drama film, Juliane Moore take most of the credit for this picture, cause really been the only one that can see, and take care of everybody, that's facing a huge responsibility. The story give you a very good perspective on the life of a blind, from watching the step, to getting through to life, to where to go the bathroom. Is very interesting, on how one self could be very invurable without watching. But of course there's that point where the government doesn't do anything to solve the problem, it follow some film like dustin huffman outbreak, or Neil marshal Doomsday, or the mist. Where there lot of people in one place, when suddenly anarchy breakout.
Now here's the funny part most this film they do research on finding a cure, this one doesn't. There's no origin on how it star, it just one Asian go blind then another, starting a whole epidemic. And why didn't they take consideration on Julian character that she was immune to the contagion. There something that made this film very confusing cause really is this drama, or a sci fi flick.
I understand where this film was headed, very simple theme living with blindness, and trying to survived. But there's no real explanation on what cause it. I mean in i am legend, they show the starting of the virus, giving detail on the virus and how it evolve. Here's is just like domino one get blind then moment later there's another one. They should have least told what line of work was the first infected, then how it got it.
There's many loop hole in the picture, that should something new, on the theme of going blind , then the problems that follow. I think what made this film even more hard to see is the scene where the women sell their body to get the food. Is something for the female audience couldn't stand. the movie is very touching in a way on giving a glimpse of life of a blind life, but doesn't tell what stated it. Which is more confusing than Lisa Lohan lovelife.
