Gael Garcia Bernal stars in Blindness (Miramax)
By Darrin Buchanan
Blindness (opened October 3 throughout San Diego) is a film like no other. It's not a horror film but it's scary to see what life would be like if every single one of us was blind. In Blindness , Julianne Moore plays "the doctor's wife;" she lives in a world were everyone becomes blind but her. At first it's just a select few and they are taken to a building and are held essentially captive. Most of the movie takes place inside the builing. In the building the blind seperate into four differnt groups; each group has their own goverment. They stuggle with food between the groups and due to frustration, things descend into chaos. Eventually the whole world turns blind, but for some reason the doctor's wife still isn't blind. I didn't like how you don't know how people are becoming blind and where the illness is even coming from, or even why she doesn't go blind. If you want to see a movie like no other then this will be a great movie to watch. I really enjoyed this film and the creativty it has. It's a film like no other.
