you're watching Saw instead of Lost AND dissing Blindness?!

Christian Bale: WE ARE FUCKING OVER PROFESSIONALLY
lolol no no I kid. I loved Blindness though. It was exactly like the book and the end was so sweet and awesome. It's weird cuz at first I thought "Well, yeah, she doesn't like graphic movies, so it makes sense-" and then I saw that you're watching SAW, and you've seen them ALL and KLJDGFPIGHR WTF?!
I watched Saw LAST NIGHT and yes, I am dissing Blindness. :P :P :P
I did love Blindness. Never read the book, but when it got to the scenes of abusing women.. I know what they were doing but it was horribly offensive to me.. Since sexually abusing anything IS ("Can I suck on your nipples? Tickle, tickle.." EWWWWWW) gross. I got the concept tho. I just thought there were other things they could have done to keep the mystery about the movie and instead it downgraded into a flimsy concentration camp of the blind. I thought there could have been a lot more in the movie that wasn't.
The ending though was pretty priceless. I did like how the coffee cup came in to view and the Japanese man (I watch everything in captions and he's identified as "The First Man That Went Blind" )got his sight back and he was running around the apartment saying everything was beautiful.
I'd be doing the same thing with Saw if the traps were meant to cram something horrible up someone's cunt. It's just tasteless to be on screen either way. In detail, anyway.
Yeah, in the book none of the characters had names, so they were referred to as "The first man that went blind, the doctor, the doctor's wife" etc.
I guess yeah, it was pretty graphic, but I find it interesting that you find sexual stuff more offensive that just nonsexual violence? cuz personally, i found the scene in one episode of Saw, when the girl was in the pit full of needles, to be far more offensive than anything I saw in Blindness. I'm not sure why.
And yeah, i agree Blindness was graphic and heavy. it was pretty much EXACTLY what went down in the book, which maybe works better as text than movie.
I know why I hate sexual violence against anything. My sister was raped, I could have been but I don't remember.. Linda tried to tell me I was by her brother (the creepy guy that in High school visited and kept leaving roses on my bed? Remember?) and just all the articles of crime ongoing I've read about sexual violence against babies still in diapers screaming for mommy or found abandoned in fields. Just. Ew.
People being blown up and torn apart is ew. But they die and dun have to live with it the rest of their lives.
I might pick up the book. I still get the feeling that a lot was left out because of the movie time crunch and I would be less offended if there's more in the book about how the 'evil empire' got a hold of the place. The thief's ward.
