Blindness

Sorry everyone about not posting the Native American Conference dates, I had a crazy weekend, and I will do my best to find another event. Sorry again.


I just read the two articles for the movie Blindness and at first, I wasn't sure which side I was on. I understand that it is very offensive to have blind people depicted in that light, but I don't know how far is too far.

The movie Blindness did take it to far. I can't get off this italics/bold combination. To depict human beings doing animal like things when faced with a problem such as blindness is outrageous. I don't think using the word blinded by something is a offensive.

I also understand that the writer of the book was just trying to be "controversial" which is something he achieved, but I think he offended way to many people in the process. I don't know that many blind people, but none the less, I still know people who are in my classes who get around just fine by listening and typing, and can EASILY walk around the building without people's help.
