Mediocre is also a disappointment

The original work of this film, I think, is somewhat more than its name (you can refer to my book review). I feel that the author proposes such an idea but fails to interpret it to the fullest, which always makes people feel regretful and unhappy. So naturally expect to be compensated in the movie version. It's a pity that the director was too careful for fear of breaking the expectations of the original author. He was extremely faithful to the original work, and left the regrets and unhappiness in the original work to me.
The shortcomings of this film, part of it is out of my personal preference, but part of it should be objective. I have written about this in the book review. I ca n't help but say two more words here:
1. For example, a blind person can establish rule with a gun. The missing details here are that the body search has not been explained. Why is there no second gun in the four wards? Again, there is only one radio!
2 Why are congenital blind people locked up? Are you planning to take advantage of it?
Are there any female patients in Ward 3? (This is a movie adaptation. In the original book, it seems that this group is not "Ward No. 3")
4 All the people are sent to isolation, and they are only isolated, so what do outside scientists have to study?
5 Where will the army come from without food? What a coincidence!
5 and so on. These problems can’t be said to be flawed, and it’s okay to have to explain them, but due to the large amount of ambiguity in details, the effect of realism is affected, and the
psychological ambiguity of the characters is even worse. The irritability, boredom and other emotions that the group should have in the hospital are not portrayed enough.
The struggle of 7 people is not enough. For example, it should be very delicate for a wife to forgive her husband for having sex with a prostitute, and the performance of the film is not enough. The shortcomings
of the movie version, etc., are nothing more than the loss of some details of the original book (the number is very small), which makes the plot a bit more rigid (for example, the sudden disappearance of the army, the army's attitude towards the chaos in the hospital, the delivery of food, the evil spirits, etc.) The rule of the blind, etc.) people, but it is not impossible for the audience to take it to see it. What I want to talk about here is whether the director has the ability, dare to accept the spirit of the original work, and can have his own interpretation. Otherwise, the status of the film would be embarrassing.

    Uncontrollable brings fear

    Like "The Calamity of Extinction", the disaster came inexplicably, and the walk was inexplicable. When I watched it, I thought it was the same director.

Blindness quotes

  • First Blind Man: He stole my car.

    Doctor: It doesn't matter, what are you gonna do with a car, you can't drive anyway?

    Thief: [referring to thief] He stole my sight!

  • Doctor: You of all people... born blind should understand empathy... and human decency.

    King of Ward 3: Shut up. Shut up. He's blind. That's all. That doesn't make him good or bad! That just makes him blind. And now, he's blind with a purpose. Because he's looking out for the sick and the hungry of his own ward.
