Only "I" exists.

"Blindness" cuts off the relationship between the signifier of many signs and the concrete signified, but it also gave her a more "authentic" subjective world. Amidst the noise and darkness, "I" can stand out, and only "I" exists. Start from me and come back to me. Normal people can see everything clearly but never see me. They can only guess with the help of mirror images. Blind people are just the opposite.

For Ingrid, truth and falsity are vague, because she can only observe her own image-once a person feels that he is paying attention to his own image, he will have a so-called religious experience-this It is also an experience that ordinary people can easily approach-"I" is being watched silently.
But more confusion still lies in the lack of symbols caused by the lack of vision.
In Tuina, both Sha Fuming and Du Hong faced the same confusion. Sha Fuming may understand the meaning of beauty, but cannot understand what is called "beautiful." He can only through touch. Du Hong’s puzzle is that the symbol of beauty is meaningless to him.

Zhou Yunpeng expressed similar confusion in an interview. He can build an understanding of the signified meaning of many idioms through knowledge and experience, but he cannot perceive the signifier of the literal itself. He could not connect the symbol of the rabbit with the concrete sign.

But after the cut is a more real world.


Two other films about the blind:
Makidi: "The Colors of Heaven"
Gandhi: "The Ship of Theseus" The
former has always restrained warmth. The latter is conflict.

Of course there is also the "Group Blindness" by Maitlink

    Picking a starting point for fiction, writing is like a suddenly blind person recalling the known world and trying to build upon it the unseen part that should be there. Great movie, thumbs up

    In 2012 there was "Into the House", and in 2014 there was "Blindsight". The abstract imagination is materialized, and the reality is indistinguishable at the end. Although the ending is still unsatisfactory, it is not strong enough. During the editing, I suspected that Jin Min was possessed for a time. It just so happened that the last film I watched was "Delusional Agent".

Blind quotes

  • Ingrid: He still thought about the quote: 'How one man's hate could unite us all in love'.
