review.
- Themes
- New Life, Resurrection
- The movie "At First Sight" from a few
years ago, on the overwhelming power of the resurrection to totally
reorient someone from one kind of life to another. While it might desirable
for someone who is blind to be able to see, if one is accustomed to
functioning and thriving as a blind person, gaining one's sight can
be totally disorienting. It can even make one dependent and not able
to function as before. Discontinuity between the past life and new
life. (submitted by Allen Schoonover)
- Seeing/Seeing
things differently
- [Virgil], who has been blind, has had an operation
to give him sight. When the bandages are removed, he
"sees", but has no reference to interpret what he is
seeing. (submitted by Susan Townsend, Natchitoches, LA)
