Blindness-Birdbox

The story Blindness and the movie Birdbox share similarities straight from the jump that is almost impossible to miss. Both are set in post apocalyptic settings that have a lone woman being a protagonist almost- but definitely different from all the other individuals. In Blindness, the woman (doctors wife) is not blind, and that makes her special due to the fact shes able to do what the others are not able to. In Birdbox, the main character is different due to her strong will and love for the children she's responsible of. While the 2 are similar, there are also differences. In the book, being blind is bad. Its almost like an infection that spreads and nobody wants to be blind. In the movie, in order to survive you must be blind or risk death.
