Notes on Blindness

The film focuses solely on the protagonist's internal changes and lacks any LGBTQ+ characters or narratives that challenge straight-centered assumptions.

The story primarily revolves around the male experience of John Hull. It lacks meaningful roles for women and does not challenge traditional gender power dynamics.

The film centers on a white male protagonist and does not include diverse racial or ethnic perspectives or use race-bent casting.

The film emphasizes personal truth over traditional religious or nationalistic structures. It avoids promoting singular religious or patriotic ideals, focusing instead on secular, psychological adaptation.

This film excels in representing disability by avoiding 'inspiration porn.' Instead, it explores the profound cognitive and sensory experiences of someone living with visual impairment.
