This film is based upon a true story of a man who had come to terms with his blindness, and who, instead of wallowing in bitterness and self-pity, had learned to use his remaining senses of hearing, touch, smell, and taste - along with a delightful sense of humor - to become a happy, positive, and resourceful human being, with a keen sensitivity toward - and appreciation of - the world and the people around him. I've often wished that I had the power to 'heal' the handicapped, or to make them whole and 'normal.' The idea that they could feel totally satisfied, complete, and happy, despite their limitations - and that it is presumptuous of us to think otherwise - was intelligently brought to light in this screenplay. This movie really struck an emotional chord with me, and made me realize how my feelings for these `unfortunates' could be construed as condescending and insensitive. I've always looked upon them with (1) great admiration for their personal strength and determination, and (2) a pervading sense of sorrow and an aching heart, for their 'misfortune' in having been denied the opportunity to interact in the world with the benefit of an intact, healthy body. I've been a nurse for 20 years, and have been around many patients who must contend daily with what 'normal' people would consider to be adversities and handicaps. If you're in the market for an excellent movie, with a solid cast, and good effects, see At First Sight.

Often the real problem is trying to fix it. This movie challenges traditional beliefs by stating that a 'handicap' is a barrier. The lessons Virgil must learn and the way he deals with them are both amusing and sad. Everyday things, like what a bird is, and what an expression means at a given moment, must be explained Virgil. The film uses these emotions artfully, without appearing to jam them down the audience's throat.Īs any good movie will, At First Sight opens the audience's eyes to the people who live through these experiences. Yet because these are very real emotions for the characters, the audience sympathizes. The film jumps around from rejoicing, sadness, frustration, confusion, and happiness. The film also outlined the pain of his loved ones, as they tried to help him adjust to a new environment, while facing pain and confusion themselves.Īt First Sight is an emotional roller coaster. At First Sight offered a look into the struggles Virgil Adamson faced after having sight for the first since he was 1. Instead, the film was an honest look at one man's attempt to adjust to the 'sight' world. At First Sight contains little sappiness, or other such material that only takes up time. I went into the theater expecting the normal amount of mushiness one can assume will be present in a love story.
