The End of Blindness (2021)
A Spotlight On Small Miracles That Are Big
The End of Blindness is the doc you never thought you needed, but after you watch it you realize it's exactly what you needed in today's cynical world. To see one man's journey to help thousands of people in the most inhospitable of conditions makes you realize there IS good in this world, and there ARE good people.
You will also be touched by the elderly couple highlighted in this film. If they were in America, they'd have their own show on TLC. You have such empathy and emotion for their struggle, but, more importantly, you can feel the love and care they have for one another, and how the doctor's surgery (and I won't spoil the lengths they have to go to get it, literally) changed their lives.
One shocking thing - Makeshift operating rooms with open windows to the jungle, wiped down, cleaned and sanitized...and not a single infection or problem in such seemingly unsanitary conditions. AMAZING!
This is definitely a feel-good doc you can watch by yourself, with a date, or with the family. The most important thing you'll take away is how just giving a little of yourself to help others can change THEIR entire worlds.
Blackmark (2018)
Not A Masterpiece, But Well Made And Entertaining
Don't believe the harsh reviews from people writing reviews in their mother's basements. This is a good, solid, well-crafted movie that's entertaining. To me, a movie is good and entertaining when I'm not wondering how much longer before it's over. Blackmark is like walking out of a fog - it starts a bit slow and is a little confusing, but as it goes along it builds momentum so by the end you're right there and caught up in the drama. And, like coming out of a fog, you see things clearer and clearer as the movie progresses. What makes that interesting is you want to watch it again - and it actually plays better the second time because you now understand and have context for the whole story. Most importantly, it's just as entertaining the second time around.
