Blindness class talk

The film is really cool in my opinion. It was almost straight out of the book with only subtle differences, but nothing major. I liked the acting and the cinematography effects the film put in. Even the actors acting as blind people, movements, the blank stare, it was all close to how blind people act in real life. To an extent I think the movie serves as a metaphor and a type of lesson- we see the kinds of people in this environment, the blind who band together and form a family, and the blind people who believe its everevery man for themselves. We see that the main group grow a bond and are happier and survive longer than the others. They stick together and accomplish tasks. Humans are like this in todays society, considering the lack of compassion shown to each other in daily life. Even recently, Trump had a rally where he spoke about immigration and someone joked about shooting the immigrants, where he laughed along with the rest if the crowd. Humanity itself is blind to the fact that there are many injustices going on in our world, we just dont speak upon it.
