Blindness (2008) - (5/10)

This afternoon was one of the weirdest movies i've seen in a while, Blindness. I had heard some bad things about it going in but still thought it was a cool enough plot to check out. What I got was a movie that displayed some of the worst human behavior imaginable and was just totally unbelievable. It all starts off where random people are coming down with some sort of epidemic blindness and then robbing eachother "blind". haha Could be a cool sci fi 28 days later, i am legend type of flick, right? Well, not exactly. The government locks them up in a freakin psych ward like some concentration camp and basically say, fend for yourselves. Um, don't people have rights? Apparantly not. So, this lady who still can see wants to be there with her husband so she goes along and helps everyone inside find the bathroom and food, etc. At this point we don't know if the rest of the world is blind or anything, just that the is military keeping them in. That's when the shit hits the fan. Everyone is blind and pissed off, forming groups and stealing food, raping, murdering, pretty much no rules whatsoever. Once the bad guys find a gun, they steal the food and basically say that all the women there, wives, daughters, etc. have to sleep with all these nasty blind people or they won't get food. It was disturbing. They eventually riot and get out to start some crazy type of blind family then, oops, they can see at the end. This movie was lame. They should have given us way more context of these people and not tried so hard to show the horror of raping dead chicks and dogs eating dead bodies. Skip this one at all costs.
