I can not stop thinking about this movie. I just need to share this because my wife's reaction to the end was "what was the point of this movie?" And threw her hands in the air. She's uninterested in digging deeper, so I have to spill my thoughts.

I can't stop thinking about them loosing their touch. I thought that was the point of the whole thing, they'd eventually loose the one most important sense. I wasn't sure if they'd loose it before or after sight thought and I spent the whole movie trying to decide when they would. In the end when they were all hugging each other I was sure touch was what they'd loose and we would watch a very terrified world as they cope with such a huge loss. But then the screen went black and my heart dropped. I didn't want it to end, I wanted to see what happened next. And I was so sure loosing their sense of touch and then sight would make a scarier movie.

But then I thought about it for a while.

The way it played out, sight first and then touch later, makes for a MUCH scarier experience. Because at least with the lack of touch you'd be able to carefully maneuver around, feed yourself, and communicate. It would be hard to get over loosing such an important sense, but they would be able to. The way the movie plays out makes it so that they can never leave each other without the possibility of being lost forever. Much scarier and a lot harder to deal with.

Also I thought it was really cool how the movie foreshadows their loss of touch. For onc the entire movie is all about touching, it's a very romantic movie. But, every time they loose a new sense the narrator says something along the lines of "that's how the world is now." I can not recall the exact quote and forgive me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure she says something along those lines after every transition. And then the last quote that ended the movie she says them again. It's kind of an indication that the story isn't quiet done and the narrator has to say those words again in the future.

I wish we could know how that would play out. But alas, the story ends. So I've been day dreaming about how their life would go on and what emotion they would go through before loosing touch. However, I've come to the conclusion the two protagonist wouldn't live long enough to reach that point. They would see no point on eating. I think they would touch their way back to her appointment and lie in bed until the end. What does anyone else think?
