I only brought this up because of exactly what you all mentioned. It’s a disgrace that they don’t even hire blind actors to play these parts. I will try and watch but most likely turn it off out of disgust. From what I have heard supposedly, they had a guide dog trainer as a consultant, but we’ll see.

One might think egregious errors would be called out by blind organizations.  We used to do so, but I haven't heard of such for quite a while.
And, can you imagine the outcry if they cast white actors in blackface to play black people?  But it's fine to cast anyone to play a disabled person.  Is that because anyone can become disabled?  I don't think so.

Oh good lord, that sounds absolutely nauseating. I really wish sighted people would stop trying to create plots and storylines involving blind characters, and instead let writers who are actually blind create the stories. Or at the very least, they could do some research. Please don’t take this as any judgment of you, or of your desire to share this with us. It is simply my reaction to the truly nauseating sounding movie indicated in this post. Also, not that it would do any good, but I would love to see The Seeing Eye file a lawsuit against hallmark for Miss using the term seeing-eye dog. That would be a great Christmas gift. It would make me smile and do a happy dance. There are a few movies and books that talk. About Guide Dogs, in a way that is at least somewhat accurate, and respectful, but they are few and far between. And if anyone thinks, I’m being too critical, please consider this, how upsetting it is when white people write stories about Black people and their culture, or straight people, write plots for LGBTQ characters, and so on and so forward. I will say one additional thing, I’m not sure how they get away with this. I mean, there certainly are instances where authors, or screen, writers, make errors, in their research, or fail to do enough research. However, in general, if they make an excessive number of errors, or a few very significant errors, they will be called out by the general public. However, the numerous errors about blind people in Guide Dogs that appear in film, don’t seem to really get enough press.
