at first sight
Saw a part of a movie today called "At first Sight". It had a unique concept and some brilliant acting. It started Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino.
We all are familiar with the famous Hindi Movie Scene, wherein the blind hero gets operated upon and then the doctor removes the bandages one by one and he is able to see all of a sudden.
Well , in this movie the hero has been blind all of his life and he could identify things only through touch. He did not know about anything outside his little sleepy village.
So when he is operated upon he could very well see physically but he was still mentally blind. Meaning he could very well see things but he could not know what they were until he touched them. He couldnt even recognise himself in the mirror until he touched himself. He did not have the ability to distinguish distance and depth. So the movie is about his struggle to cope up with his new life.
Well what if this had been a Hindi Movie??? The Hero would have gained full eyesight instantly, would have been off to the Alps with his sweetheart for a song or two and would have been bashing villains left, right and centre.
Goes to show where the Indian film industry is lagging way beyond Hollywood.
Also Saw the first two movies of the Bourne trilogy. Bourne Identity, Bourne Ultimatum. Awesome Movies. I would recommend both as must watch.
