Review of Perfect Sense (2011) by Enrica C — 25 Mar 2012

One of the scariest and yet compelling movie I've ever seen. "Perfect Sense" made me realize how much our senses are worth, no matter how we might get used to them --- the idea of a pandemics depriving us of our senses is just horrible, terrifying, unbearable. It's painful just even to image that: I could live without a sense of smell, or taste, but what about hear or sight? Or touch? No, that would not be life -- so what are we? Are we our senses? In a way yes, we are because without them we would feel nothing and be nothing.

"Perfect Sense" is a great piece of writing. I felt desperate, scared, inadequate -- uncomfortable. And that's how it was meant to be. This is a terrifying movie, but I love the fact that it made me realize how important every and each of our senses is: we often give them for granted forgetting that there's people out there who lacks one of them. Well, now that idea scares me to death. Senses are important, no matter if we forget about them -- but life goes on no matter what, right?

Great movie. Totally worth watching even if, to be truth, I don't really know if I'll find the courage to watch it again someday in the future -- the ending left me heartbroken but at least made me feel something. Recommended.
