"Cursed be the ground for our sake, both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us for out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are and to the dust we shall return." Never gets old, the more I see it. The more I love it..
You gotta admit though, Denzels delivery and pacing says so much about how he interprets those passages. Sometimes people forget our guy was cast in the on screen adaptation of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and either "Othello" or "Macbeth" off Broadway (been so long I can't remember which one or if its both). It's such a great exposition to the scene/violence he's forced to take part in that he didn't ask for and tried to avoid. It's one of my favorite movies.
If I've said this once, I've said it 1000 times. This character is NOT blind during the entire course of this movie. "Omg, he's reading braille! He must be blind!" No, he can just read braille. I think he had sight issues, yes, but he could see. I believe his eyesight was deteriorating and mostly gone, but not until the very end. But he definitely was NOT Ray Charles blind for the whole movie.
there are suttle hints throughout the movie that show he is blind. He never attacks first so that he can hear or feel where they are. Second is that when he fights, his eyes never track the person he is attacking. Its like he is constantly looking past them and never at them. Its something you have to watch closely to notice, but he is blind.
Man, I have always thought the same thing - He says, "this place across the road, do they have water"? While looking directly at the place through the window. There are countless other times where he clearly sees what's happening.
My mother always suffered with severe depression and anxiety. This was the only movie that would bring her a little comfort. Not many movies like this get made anymore. God bless

This is one of the most misunderstood movies of all time. If you watched this and thought he was blind the whole time you missed the subliminal message of destiny that was it's intention.
@@thatguyoverthere6743 people think that because he's blind at the end of the movie, that he was blind the whole time. But he wasn't. There are several times throughout the movie that he responds to stimuli that is only visual and not auditory in any way, and after he gets shot in the stomach, his sunglasses fall off and he walks with his eyes open in a western direction until he reaches San Francisco, making him go blind in his last few days of life. There is a message of faith and devotion that is cheapened by the notion that the big reveal was that he "was blind all along" and not that he had faith he didn't need to have, BECAUSE he was faithful.
Love this movie and have watched it more times than i can count. My go to movie when a chick comes over to chill :) The ending shocked me though the first time I watched it and found out he was blind the whole time at the end... AWESOME MOVIE
I hate this argument. He was not blind the whole time. In the shop at the beginning of this scene, and many points during the movie, it's glaringly obvious he can see. You don't have to be blind to be able to read braille.
@@TrashPanda5150 When he was checking if the zippo he wanted to barter about with Tom Waits, he passed his hand above the little flame to make sure it was burning because he couldn't see it...
Now that you know the ending, watch his movements. Notice his head doesn't lead the swings, they set the fight scenes up awesomely. He's not leading with his eyes, so why would he turn his head. Its not perfect but the edits work, look closely.
@@johnsimth6587 Not everyone is captain obvious y'know. Could have led with. "They did a really great job of keeping us believing he was blind through the film."
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. “ “Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!”
“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Also, they were horrible as sunglasses and dangerous to drive in. Just some fun trivia.

Denzel is always a fascinating performer.
Denzel is poppin heads like champagne bottles.
One of my favorite movies. Underrated
Denzel NEEDs to show up in Fallout. Just imagine him as the Mysterious Stranger.
😮😮
The mysterious stranger by Mark Twain
That would be Cool
They do not come any cooler than Denzel.
This film is legitimately captivating .

He was absolutely blind the entire movie. He was blessed by God to have all of his senses enhanced. Have your headcannon, but that's not official
I thought it was said or assumed that he lost most or all of his eyesight during the flash event that made the world the way it is in the movie?

Denzel carry the angel of justice in all he's characters in movies.

No sir. It's perfect as is, leave it alone. Except for Mila Kunis at the end. I could've done without that part.
You are living the prequel right now.
Enjoy.

Nah, Mila Kunis can't carry the movie without Denzel.

it's literally in the movie they tell you he's blind
You watched it closed eyes and ears
Bro's blind aswell :D
Never seen a blind man who didn’t have a lazy eye or cross eye or crazy colored eyes.. what blind people have you meet?
are.... are you serious? Because... holy shit.. do I need to weep for us as a society..
