[stylist] Comments Needed for Blindness Review in O: the OprahMagazine

[The Crowd]

Well I wrote one, it is below for anyone who wants to read it.

I never thought I'd see the day when Oprah would condone discrimination and
lies. When a person is loosing their eye sight the last thing they need is
to
have respected people condoning myths and ignoring frightening lies about
blindness.
I saw the movie "Blindness" and it was pathetic. Even those who have
recently lost their sight can wipe their own butts. They feed themselves and
know
how to shower. According to this incredibly un insightful book/movie they
can't find their way to the bathroom but can bury people in the yard? They
can't
find each others faces to kiss but can have sex? Please.
It is a poorly written book made into a ridiculous movie with no cohesion.
Even a blind man can see that.
The movie isn't about the great woman who saved the day, it is about fear
and helplessness.   It is about savagery and the loss of humanity. The woman
who played the doctors wife kills the guy who was born blind and he is the
only one with a gun? Please. Oh, a gun that never runs out of bullets? So
the
guards didn't search the people? If you're driving in a car and go blind do
you go home? Um, no, you go to the hospital!
I have no idea how the book even got published. The author rambles, has
amateurish POV switches and has no conception of blindness what so ever. I'd
be
ashamed if I had a magazine that wrote such a raving review about a sad
ridiculous movie that has absolutely no basis in reality at all. Yes, it's
fiction,
but the best fiction is the believable kind. These don't even come close to
being real people. It appears that the author was trying to satisfy some
kind
of juvenile thrill and used something that terrified him to do so.
I truly believed that Oprah had more class then that.     I read her
biography and found her strong and brave, caring and on the side of those
who try
to make a difference. I'm saddened to find I'm wrong.
And your form isn't very blind friendly, it is miss labeled for screen
readers.
