'm a big fan of the books that are brought to the big screen, or movies based on books?, well, the idea is that, although of course as they say, even among the dogs no races ... and we is that there are wonderful books that produce tapes equally perfect ( The Godfather is one of my favorite movies and novels ), books that are much better than tapes (tapes almost every Stanley Kubrick than the novels they are based, at least more enjoyable film A Clockwork Orange the novel itself), and books they produce crap crap films (someone said Twilight ).
Blindness VS. Essay Blindness to 2 of 3 falls without limit of time.
As the tape-book of this post belongs to another category, and generally not be a rule fall most of the adjustments, the category where the novel surpasses tape, and that is not castor position, say, the position of those pseudo-intellectuals who considered an art superiror literature to film, I think both are arts and crafts are both masterpieces and junk vomit (someone mentioned Twilight again?)
Let's start with the novel on a cegueira Ensaio of José Saramago, if you have never read any work by him, if you surprised her writing a little peculiar, for example, uses 
very few punctuation marks, which causes your reading is not easy to follow it can cause (at least in my case was so) mainly confusion in the narration of the dialogue, coupled with the lack of character names, and refers to them such as "the girl with dark glasses" to throughout the novel.

This is where the film, Blindness , which remains far short of the wonderful novel, a film very well done, great photography, a moving soundtrack, tape that shows a very violent history and raw like the novel, but it falls short, stays there, not so deep as the work of Saramago (his masterpiece?). And this is where it would be a much disappointed, because I had a great story to squeeze too much juice in the hands of Fernando Meirelles director who has given us the best movie of all Latin America (an apology Amores Perros), but is that City of God is the best we've seen.
No, they are not dancing to the snake of the sea ...
No, they are not dancing to the snake of the sea ... tape meets In conclusion, delivers a very decent but based on a story so well told, one does not stay quiet, thinking it might make a wonderful movie ... and we should not be blind to the light to reflect on this issue, since for years it seems we are blind more important but less visible, have been blind understanding, just look around us ...
