《盲流感》 / "Blindness" the movie

“全人類失明,世界化爲一片白色,恐慌蔓延全球 !! 隨之而來的是憤怒、軟弱、慾望、乘虛而入 ……但是: 看到的,看不到了。看不到的,看得到了。”

"When the white-blindness epidemic strikes the population, the whole world turns upside down. The line between right and wrong becomes murky. Terror and panic reign. Anger, cowardice, sexual exploitation and animal behaviours raise its ugly heads .... But behold: Those who can see, can no longer see. And, when they cannot see, they finally see."

無留意到這套戲呢!!
如果全世界都盲咗可能是一件好事,
大家都一齊看不東西都算公平嘛,
到時大家再不會以貌取人,
反而會多用心和耳朵去領聽別人,
你說是不是好事呢? =p

新鮮兄:

"... 如果全世界都盲咗可能是一件好事,大家都一齊看不東西都算公平嘛 ..."

Unfortunately, things did not quite work out that way in the movie.

San Wen Ji: For one thing, civil disobedience of a few could create chaos of epidemic proportion and the society would quickly turn into an anarchy state. According to the older generation, this actually happened to HK immediately after World War II when the Japanese surrendered and lawless mobs (known as 勝利友) took advantage of the power vacuum and started looting, raping, and terrorizing the locals !!!
