In last year’s “The Ticket,” Dan Stevens plays a blind man, who wakes up one morning with the miraculous gift of sight. However, his ability to see the world with fresh eyes, soon finds him giving in to his selfish desires and ambitions. Now comes “All I See Is You,” another tale where the blind can see, but one with a much different outcome.
Blake Lively and Jason Clarke star in the new film by Marc Forster (“Monster’s Ball,” “World War Z“), which follows a young woman who realizes all is not what it seems when she gains her vision, and witnesses the truth behind her life. Here’s the official synopsis:
Gina (Blake Lively) and husband James (Jason Clarke) have an almost perfect marriage. After being blinded as a child in a nearly fatal car crash that claimed her parent’s lives, Gina depends on James to be her eyes—a dependence that appears to solidify their passionate relationship. She sees her world in her own vivid imagination with help from James’ descriptions. Despite her disability, the two enjoy a colorful existence in Bangkok, Thailand where James works in insurance and Gina explores life in a foreign country. It seems the only real hardship this loving couple faces is difficulty conceiving a child but when Gina is given the opportunity to have a corneal transplant and regains her vision, their life and relationship are upended. Gina now sees the world with a new sense of wonder and independence which James finds threatening. It is only when Gina suddenly begins to lose her sight again that she finally realizes the disturbing reality of their marriage and their lives.
“All I See Is You” opens on October 27th.
