In this remarkable and captivating film from director Andrzej Jakimowski, a young blind man who can psychically envision the landscape through which he walks takes a similarly afflicted woman under his wing, and ventures with her out into the beautiful (and perilous) streets of Lisbon.
IMDB - 6 wins
Somewhere in the beautiful, sunny Portugal is a house where the visionless learn how to cope with their disability, guided by a man who has mastered the art of living without using your eyes. For you, as a viewer, it's an interesting venture into the world unknown to you, if only a testimony to what you are taking for granted on a daily basis, and therefore, missing.
Jakimowski has a vision, one he stays to throughout the entire movie, without making it seem stale or boring. There's magic here, and a lesson to be learned. It's a movie with a mission, and whatever that mission could be, it's accomplished; it compels you to listen and open your eyes.
Set in the world of the blind, Imagine is the movie the world of the sighted needs to see.
===============================
I saw this film thinking that i was going to see a typical drama movie, but instead i found a heart-warming lesson of life.
He's a teacher who shows to the blind kids how to use their senses instead of their cane, and the funny thing is that he also is blind. He teaches the children to use their imagination to "see" the things around them, to sense with every part of their body without missing the things we usually overlooked because we are just looking not seeing. He later gets into some trouble for his particular way of teaching.
I know this movie isn't gonna like to everybody, but you must give it a chance not just to see it but for the beautiful message in it.
