Blindness

00:35:00

Every winter a flu epidemic hits the unsuspecting citizens, causing long queues at the doctors and a diminished attendance at schools and kindergartens. Occasionally Zika virus terrifies future mothers afraid of giving birth to children with deformed heads. From time to time there is an outbreak of a disease to which there's no cure and the possibility of spreading it over a bigger area is the greatest fear of the government of each and every country. There are still diseases to which we have no treatment, epidemics which wiped out millions from the surface of the Earth. Medical progress might be visible but we are still far from feeling completely secure. Scenarios of tragedies cross our minds from time to time. And what if one day you all of a sudden lost one of your most important senses? Blindness. An adaptation of a novel by José de Sousa Saramago. And a terrifyingly probable scenario.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
