    Blindness

    Is anyone else looking forward to this movie? Has anyone here read the book (highly recommended BTW).

    I loved this book and am very curious to see how they approach telling the story on film. The book is quite a strong societal and political statement but certainly has the potential to be apocolyptical crap for Hollywood. The trailers give me hope but, unfortunately, It'll be another two weeks before I get to see it. I hope it lasts in the theatres that long!

    I am looking forward to this, what seems to be, as challenging a movie to watch as the book is to read.

    From what I gather, it's a fitting rejoiner to the maxim, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".

    Or something to that effect.
