I'm really curious about "Blindness." I really don't think a movie can match the horror I experienced reading it, nor capture the depth of depravity that Saramago presented to us. There's something uniquely disturbing about the inhumanity that he created, and taking it out of the novel and onto a screen, I think it would lose a lot. Also, I just have a hard time imagining a director being allowed to create scenes that would accurately convey the emotions. It would, perhaps, be possible to create the film, but to do it successfully, would it be a film that one could actually show?
