Blindness is a Canadian Science Fiction Movie Worth Seeing in the Theater

 

Blindness is Don McKellar's screenplay adaptation of Jose Saramago's popular novel. Directed by Fernando Meirelles, the movie stars Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, supported by Danny Glover, Martha Burns, Maury Chaykin, and Sandra Oh.

This film depicts what would happen if a super bug that caused a white blindness were to suddenly infect a large urban center? This movie will shock and strengthen ALL of your senses.

What if blindness was contagious? 

Blindness, the movie opens Friday September 19, 2008 (in Canada).

Blindness is this year's most anticipated Canadian science fiction movie.

This horrifying scenario could happen anywhere. Anyone living in Toronto will remember the fear that paralyzed the city during a sudden outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in North York General Hospital.

Every American was shocked when they heard testimony of the bizarre and horrific occurrences in the New Orleans Super Dome during Hurricane Katrina. Blindness puts human characters in those same mental and moral conundrums where they hate themselves and the selfishness they need to survive.

This story goes well beyond those emotional scenarios, and into the realm of genuine horror. Those who control the food rise above the others. Gael García Bernal, Sandra Oh, Danny Glover, Alice Braga, Martha Burns, and Maury Chaykin round out this amazing cast of characters. Each story offers a different perspective on the phenomenon.

Blindness reminds us all of society's fragility as it explores the evolution of evil in a pretty realistic environment.
