The Eye Movie
My husband and I just finished watching a suspense/thriller movie called The Eye,it is a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong movie of the same title.It starring Jessica Alba.I kept getting chills while watching it.
Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is a blind woman who received an eye transplant that causes her to see into the supernatural world.At the start of the film, is a successful classical violinist, although blind since the age of 5. She and her sister had been playing with fireworks and they had been set off too close to her face, damaging her corneas.After almost 20 years later,Sydney went through a cornea transplant which causes her vision, albeit blurry, to begin returning. At first, she is confused and disoriented, unable to understand if what she sees is "real" or not. During her first night with her new eyes, her bedmate at the hospital dies, and Sydney, not understanding, watches her blurry figure being led away by someone else. During her stay, she also befriends a young girl named Alicia, who is there undergoing surgery for a brain tumor.As time goes on, Sydney's vision begins to clear up and she struggles to understand the new world around her. Her therapist, Paul Faulkner, feels that her strange visions are her mind's way of interpreting what it was never able to before: including visions of fire, death, and the number '106'. Her bedroom walls keep changing to stone and back again, and she sees what appears to be the ghosts of people around her, including a young woman who walks right through her in the street just before she sees her body lying on the ground.She begged Paul to know who her eye donor were.They went to Mexico,to look for Ana Cristina Martinez.People thought she was a witch but she's really not,she was just seeing things or premonitions.She warned people but they didn't believe her,so they all died afterwards.
Sydney and Paul return to the United States and got stuck because the border is closed due to a high-speed chase on the other side Dozens of vehicles are left stranded behind the closed gates. In the middle of the group of cars is a gas tanker with the number "106" on the front and a camper with a young girl in it, at the same time many shadows move into the bus and take positions behind the people in it. Sydney puts the pieces together and realizes the images she kept seeing - the number 106, the bells, and the girl trapped in a fire - weren't of the past, but of the future. She rushes out of the car, screaming at everyone to flee, telling them a bomb is on the bus. The people listen and flee, just as a car smashes through the police barriers coming from the American side, and collides with the gas tanker. The tanker begins to leak gas and a spark causes the tanker to explode, destroying every vehicle in a chain-reaction down the highway. Sydney's eyes are injured by flying glass during the explosion, and she ends up blind again but glad to have used her visions to save lives and give Ana peace.
