The other day when I was at the movies, I saw the trailer for Blindness.
The movie is adapted from the book by Jose Saramago, a Nobel winning author.
It is one of the best books I have ever read. It is about how people behave when everyone becomes blind after a mysterious virus quickly spreads. The book pulls you in from the very first page and doesn't let go until the very end.
The one thing that struck me in the book is that no one has a name, and no one refers to each other with their names. It's always names like, the doctor, the wife, the driver, the old guy, etc.
From the trailer, I can tell the director may have kept that in the movie too.
Can't wait to see the movie.
If you have not read it yet, get the book and read it. Well worth your time.
