The Eye

This is a Chinese (Hong Kong) realization lists in the genre of horror movie. It is about a young blind girl who starts to have strange vision and dreams after she had a cornea transplant. Ghosts appear to be everywhere around her and a particular young girl seems to reach for her. That brings fear out of her and forces her to stay indoors without light. There, she remembers that her grandma used to say that she is special. She could foresee vision of life. Encouraged by her doctor who seems to be very attracted to her, they take on a journey to enlighten the matter. They travel to Thailand to meet with the donor’s family. They discover the tragic story of Lin. She too could foresee such vision. That causes everyone in her neighborhood to hate her. They think she was the one that brings death upon them. Humiliate and isolated, she finished by killing herself. The reason why she appears in Mun (principal character of the movie) is a call for help. She has an unfinished business to take care. After this task was over, Mun experiences the non-believe effect herself, as she is incapable to prevent a catastrophe that killed many. There she lost her sign again in result of a tanker explosion.
Themes such as after life, ghosts and the way of things are explored in this movie. We become aware of the philosophy and believe in this part of the world. There is a certain stage that explains ghosts and what can happen to one in the way one passes away. The young girl keeps coming to Mun, the character in the movie because of the way she was dead.
The big lesson of this movie is well said by the character in the end, she cannot complain about why she is blind. She experiences of what it would have been for her to see, this would certainly mean sadness and humiliation. I come to this on the experience of her corneas’ donor. That foresees experience allows her to appreciate more her situation. This lesson could serve for so many of us. We usually speak of what we have or who we are in such disgusting way sometimes, if we could have a foresee experience of what it would be like to be in our dream or wish whatever; many would take more time to better appreciate ourselves in the present situation. Let make the best of what we have instead of cherish what could have been.
