Movie Trailer: Blindness
Coming out on October 3rd, this film by Fernando Meirelles (City of Men) tells the story of a doctor's wife who cares for her husband as a plague of sudden blindness sweeps through the city. The concept of a virus blinding humanity is interesting and could be the basis for a fascinating film. My gut, and the stink of pretentiousness coming off the trailer below, tells me otherwise.

The movie stars Julianne Moore, an actress who has apparently dedicated her career to pompous movies: Children of Men, Short Cuts, I'm Not There, Boogie Nights, The Hours and Psycho. Its as if she enters into negotiations for every role by demanding that the director create a haughty, unwatchable ode to self indulgence. Adding to the warning signs, certified wing nut Danny Glover makes an appearance - never a good sign.

Just the same, check out the trailer and make up your own mind. What do you think? Does it look good or not?

Blindness will be a metaphor for not "seeing" the world as the writer/director/producer does. So I guess it will come down to whether I agree with their world view.

I like the work of Don McKellar's that I've seen so far, so I would at least go into it expecting a decent script.
