My blind date with life

This movie deserve 10 stars amazing movie! the story is awesome

As an British born person, it's not every day you see a German or even foreign movie, let alone write a review for one. But after watching this sweet movie I felt compelled to tell the world to watch it. This movie is the story of a half Sri Lankan boy who dreams of working for a five star hotel. His life ambitions are sadly broken when his retina detaches and he becomes partially blind. He can't go to university. After further being rejected for apprenticeships due to his disability, he then sets about getting a job by spoofing that he fully sighted. As with the stories about blind people, the scenario makes for comical effects. But it is matched in equal parts by the heroism of the protagonist, the sadness and poignancy of the situation, the complexity and joy of the human relations in the background. A sweet feel good movie, made so much better by knowing that it's true. We were lucky enough to find this movie on Amazon Prime, I hope with widescale distribution others will enjoy this as much as our family did.

It is really imperative that you give this movie some slack ... a lot of slack actually. The things that happen here are unrealistic at best. But it is about believing in oneself. It is about never giving up. Of course there are quite a few flaws and downfalls. Not just when our main character is supposed to watch over somebody else - when he can't see a thing.

Is that something you would do? Or accept from someone else? Or make any sense in the real world? How far can someone go by not telling others that he has issues? And can we as viewers forgive him for that? It is about really really getting into the mood of the movie and accepting certain things. Especially that this is a movie, that tries to make you feel good! And it also tries to send a positive message ... even through all the wrong doings and escapades we witness ... so it' up to you: can you dig it or not?

Without being too long and boring I just want to say that I really enjoyed this movie and would absolutely recommend watching it. Absolutely worth reading the subtitles. I stumbled upon it on Amazon by chance and was not sure if I should watch it because of subtitles. I was so glad I did. Mind blowing that it's based on true story! Great movie. Loved it.

Light movie that kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the scenes. It's funny enough to make you laugh to tears and deep enough to make you cry a little more.
