a šta ebert veli - obećava

By Roger Ebert

"Blindness" is one of the most unpleasant, not to say unendurable, films I've ever seen. It is an allegory about a group of people who survive under great stress, but frankly I would rather have seen them perish than sit through the final three-quarters of the film. Not only is it despairing and sickening, it's ugly. Denatured, sometimes overexposed, sometimes too shadowy to see, it is an experiment to determine how much you can fool with a print before ending up with mud, intercut with brightly lit milk.

In an unspecified city (Toronto, mostly), an unspecified cause spreads blindness through the population. First a driver goes blind at a traffic light. Then his eye doctor goes blind. And so on, until just about the entire population is blind, except for the doctor's wife. Three wards in a prison are filled with people who are quarantined; armed guards watch them. Then I guess the guards go blind. I am reminded of my Latin teacher Mrs. Link, making us memorize a phrase every day: Pone seram, prohibe. Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?*

Many of the imprisoned survivors soon descend into desperation and hunger. The big problem is with Ward 3, and its savage leader (Gael Garcia Bernal). Finding a gun, he confiscates all the food and sells it to Ward 1 in return for jewelry and sexual favors. Oddly enough, I don't recall Ward 2, unless Ward 3 was Ward 2 and I missed Ward 3, and who cares?

Oh, what an ordeal. Clothes falling off. Nude in the cold. People fighting, dying and raping. Blundering around and tripping over things. Hitting their heads. Being struck by pipes they don't see coming, swung by people who don't know what they're swinging at. In the midst of the hellhole is the doctor's wife (Julianne Moore), who doesn't know why she can still see, but loyally stays with her husband.

Is she a symbol of a person with sight leading the blind against the evildoers? Ouch, I stumbled! Who put that there? Maybe that's what she is. In a film that doesn't even try to explain the blindness (not that it could), there's room for nothing but symbols and metaphors and the well-diversified group we identify with, which includes an Asian couple (Yusuke Iseya and Yoshino Kimura), the doctor and his wife (Mark Ruffalo and Moore), a wise old black man (Danny Glover), a single woman (Alice Braga), a boy (Mitchell Nye) and a dog (uncredited).

And the noise. Lordy! This is a soundtrack so aggressive I was cringing in my seat. No merciful slumber during this film. Metal clangs, glass shatters, bullets are fired, people scream, and the volume of these sounds seems cranked up, compared with the surrounding dialogue, like they do with TV commercials. My eyes, ears and patience were assaulted. My hands and feet, OK.

What a pedigree this film has. Directed by Fernando Meirelles. Based on the 1995 novel by Portugal's Jose Saramago, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for literature. I learn he long resisted offers to make his book into a movie. Not long enough. It is my good fortune to be attending a screening tonight of the newly restored print of "The Godfather." I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet.

*"Lock her up; put away the key. But who will guard the guards?"

Juvenal

Mrs. Link told me that someday, and that day may never come, I'd call upon that phrase to do a service for me.

...ja nisam pogledao, pre neki dan se pojavio screenere sa upozorenjem o vlasničkoj strukturi celom dužinom gornjeg dela slike, a koje se ne miče čitavim tokom film, to me obeshrabrilo po pitanju download-a, ali sam čitao Samaragov uber-leviičrski, antiutopijski predložak, i bio veoma zadovoljan pročitanim, filmu me porivlači reditelj, glumačka postava, ali i trivija po kojoj je jedna od statskinja u kampu za slepe i naša Zdenka TV POLITIKA 90s Aćin...

nisam pogledo samo zbog lošeg kvaliteta kopije (mrljava + natpis koji stoji sve vreme) – a baš sam se bio zagrejao da pogledam!
naravno, čim se pojavi nešto GLEDLJIVO (pun!) – gledaću!

[Tex Murphy]

Zašto nijedan od likova nema ime?

[ginger toxiqo 2 gafotas]

...moja je pretpostavka da je to naprosto preuzeto iz Saramagovog romana, i tamo su svi (slepci) bezimeni...

[Ghoul]

MU sa mnom ne radi, pošto sam ja agent antlantide.
a i exceedovao sam download limit, po njima.

fuck'em!

[Tex Murphy]

Hm, iz svega toga možemo da zaključimo samo to da ne žele da ljudi gledaju njihov film, te nam ne ostaje drugo nego da im udovoljimo. Osim što ćemo naravno da sačekamo da se scena tuširanja pojavi na Metacafeu i da pogledamo samo nju.

skinuo sam privi deo sa MU.
kopija je odlična, ima prevod na španski.
drugi deo je drastično usporio sa 100 na 40 KB/s
