Blindness

The film was very faithful to the original. I enjoyed the choice to make the cast as diverse as possible. I didn't imagine the characters to be any specific race but it was nice to see them portrayed in a way I didn't see before. The city they were in didn't look like any city I know. The police cars only said police and when the girl with the dark glasses goes to pay at the pharmacy, we can't see the money she's using. Those were nice touches. We discussed it in class already but the choice to make the cast very diverse added to this. No one person shared an accent. If a character had an accent, it was different from the other characters. Now that may seem like dumb, of course if lots of people are getting into one place, the chances of there being a huge variety of people from different backgrounds are high. However certain regions have a certain accent. Like the south for instance has the southern accent we mock. New Yorkers pronounce New York like "New Yuark". No one character shared an accent so it kept me constantly guessing as to where this city was.
