Check Out the First 5 Minutes of 'Blindness'
Filed under: Drama, Trailers and Clips
If you're one of those folks who protesting the film, this probably won't be of much interest, but to the rest, feel free to check out the first five minutes of Blindness above. I'm hooked. Now I realize that I'm a wee bit biased, being a huge Don McKellar fan -- he not only wrote the adaptation, but also gives the opening his classic wit in one of the first speaking roles in the film -- but this movie simply looks darned good.
At the same time, I'm betting that being allured by these first minutes isn't a good indicator of what's to come. This is, after all, not a tale of a dude who goes mysteriously blind and his new, chatty sidekick. It's about a strange pseudo-blind epidemic where a milky haze plagues an unknown city.
But if you need more reasons to see it -- both Kim and James dug the new cut screened in Toronto last month.

I'm planning on checking out Blindness based on the quality of the premise alone. Regardless of how the movie actually plays out at least it's an interesting idea. It kind of reminds me of Children of Men, in that there's the whole unexplained, reality-changing epidemic.
I totally believed the driver was stealing the blind guy's car there for a second.
