Blind dates

I jus watched parts of a movie ( amidst intervening power cuts and mother's objections, bcos there were some sensual scenes wenever she passed by) 'At first Sight'.

Its the story of a blind man's world, his intricate feelings, and ablities and the lessons therein for lesser beings like us.

I have watched one other movie with a similar context, 'Butterflies are free', the similarity ends ther. BaF was more like a stage drama, staged within 4 walls for the most of it and its strength was its dialogues and their delivery by the charecters who played in it.

AFS has some of those goodies and it has the luxury of being shot on outdoor locations.

wat i like abt these movies is the sharp ablities , the feeling of elation that they exhibit wen they really feel something, the feeling of sadness at being treated with pity, the sensitivity, the love and the gentleness that the protaganists in these movies exhibit, for these r a few charecters i share with them in varying degrees. i sort of feel heart filled when i see them be loved.

there r some lines, as usaula, i wld like to take fwd with me and share with u.

"I forget about the lights sometimes. ", that line tuched me. that, the char says wen he has regained vision and is found sitting in complete darkness.

But I realized that our eyes aren't what make us see. We only live in darkness when we don't look - look at what is genuine about ourselves - genuine about others - you don't need eyes for that. ..towards the end of the movie ..., some kind of message in it,huh ?

quotes form BAF are aplenty that i wld like to share with u, to blogging space, let me give u alink to some of those quotes...., if they interset, which they surely will, go grab the movie and watch it, no bettter way to appreciate it, wat ya say?
