Best Movies about Blindness

The cinema industry is a part of the entertainment world, but the purpose of every production is not to entertain the audience. Some movies are shot to draw attention to a subject and raise awareness. Movies about disabilities are also productions that show the value of holding on to life and introduce the audience to details that they may have never been aware of until that moment. The best movies about blindness show how difficult it is to live in a dark world, but that human determination can overcome even that.

The fact that a blind character appears in a movie does not make that movie a movie about blindness. Production that positions blindness at the center of the subject can be evaluated in this category. The general expectation is that the main character is blind and the subject is built on this. Some movies about blindness, which have been highlighted by the extraordinary performances of some of the most famous actors and actresses in the history of cinema, have managed to receive great acclaim to the point of being among the best movies of all time.

The best movies about blindness include a wide variety of genres. At first glance, you may think that they are all dramas filled with sad stories, but they are not at all. Some are biopics, some are science fiction, and even some are comedies, allowing different aspects of blindness, which is a part of life, to be revealed. These productions make us feel that each of the blind people we work in the same office, travel on the same subway, or walk on the same sidewalks has a life story that can be the subject of a movie.

I looked at many different sources to choose the best movies about blindness. In this process, it took some time to break the stereotyped mindset that had been created over the years, and I finally managed to create a selection of movies from different genres. Each of these productions, some of which have won Oscars for their leading actors, are unique productions and must-see movies. If you are wondering what are the best movies about blindness, you can find them in this list.
