Blindness 8.5/10
I liked the idea of the film. Everyone in the city goes blind for unknown reasons, which are never explained, and we see how everyone handles the situation (not very well). Society falls apart and we are left watching a group of people united together as a small community supporting one another.
After the film was finished, I was left unsatisfied with the entire story because I wanted to know the source of what was causing people to be blind. But, after watching the special features, I found out the actors had to wear a blind fold and walk around attempting to get to their destination to make them aware of what it may be like to be blind. Also, during the actual shooting of the film, the actors had to wear contacts that blocked their vision, to make the movie a bit more realistic.
