Review of At First Sight (1999) by Assonance — 04 May 2021

Great Movie!

This movie was really emotional for me because it brought back memories of my sister when she was five years old. My sister was born 99% deaf and could have lost all her hearing if a certain operation was not performed. For the first time at the age of five after an operation my sister was able to hear fully. She reacted very similarly to that of Val Kilmer's character in the movie. He "learns" to cope with seeing for the first time. It is very strange for him. Everyone that can see all their lives take many things for granted. It really brings out how hard it is to cope with such a change. I know from personal experience how hard it is to help someone through such a drastic change.
