Blindness (2008)

Blindness is a tricky film to review. It's provocative and affecting. If you’re interested in seeing it, I'd encourage you to check it out. It's not a fun movie. Sometimes, that's ok.

A sudden disease that induces blindness causes the government to round up the infected and send them to a repurposed asylum. There, they are expected to take care of themselves. Julianne Moore plays a woman whose doctor husband (Mark Ruffalo) is stricken with the disease. When people in hazmat suits come to take him away, she lies about her sight and joins him. Soon, the epidemic is the least of the asylum residents' problems.

There are many things to appreciate in Blindness. The protagonists are complex. The wife (never maned, none of the characters are) is as much a prisoner of the situation as everyone else. Her sight compels her to try and take care of everyone, which is impossible. She may have superpowers compared to the rest but remains a normal person at the end of the day. The situation has a toll on her psyche and her marriage.

Another well-handled element is the "visuals" of blindness. If you didn't know how important a sense sight is, you will now. You’re so used to seeing a movie that when Blindness uses darkness or shows how moments are perceived versus how others "see"/see them, you have to pause and think. It helps that the actors have the chops to pull off the difficult material.

Here is where the tricky stuff comes in. This story is filled with ugly ideas and is deliberately unpleasant. Even knowing this, you'll feel like there's a thin layer of slime all over you when the thing is done. It's the opposite of what you usually feel. Normally, knowing that atrocities haven't been forgotten, that justice is "being served" through storytelling is somewhat cathartic. Not here. If someone told you they "liked" the movie, you'd run away from them.

Though the production is top-notch, the story is problematic. This is another one of these scenarios where the Y chromosome turns into the sadistic rape gene as soon as society breaks down - unless you're married. If that's the case, you turn into a noodle of a person. It also reminds us that if you joined the military it wasn’t to help people, it’s to indulge in your gun fetish/get paid to express your lack of empathy. Good thing the blind are ill-equipped to take over the world because they'd turn it in a flaming dumpster-fire in no time!

The movie isn’t all gang rape and forced prostitution and there’s certainly something to be said about how people react during a crisis. It just isn't handled well in Blindness. I already know how awful it would be to live in perpetual darkness, so what new information is this offering? When the tone shifts from drama to apocalyptic horror, the shift isn't smooth. This is like two different movies mashed together. Maybe that’s the point. I'd believe director Fernando Meirelles and writer Don McKellar (working from the book by José Saramago) if they told me this was their goal. That’s why I’m giving the movie a recommendation; so you can decide for yourself.

Some people will call Blindness provocative and eye-opening. Others will be repulsed. I don't think the picture has actual sinister intentions but someone should've raised a hand when they introduce the villainous character that's been blind since birth. Perhaps this a flawed film that takes things too far. Either way, there are good qualities here and for better or worse, it's a film that's hard to forget. (On DVD, August 16, 2015)

Still using Japanese actor Yūsuke Iseya as a reference for realism when drawing Jotaro Kujo. Initially this piece started as just a sketch but after looking at it I figured I'd practice my values again and shade the whole thing. Granted this took like 3 days but it was a great way to practice tones, drapery, hair, and even calligraphy. Everything is a learning experience friends. #JoJosBizarreAdventure #JotaroKujo #Jotaro #Kujo #Joestar #StardustCrusaders #DiamondIsUnbreakble #Part3 #Part4 #Anime #Manga #HirohikoAraki #Drawing #Realism #Sketch #Shading #Pencil #Japanese #Japan #YusukeIseya #LiveAction #Actor
