    Finnish drama/romance
    Sokea Mies Joka Ei Halunnut Nähdä Titanicia (or The Blind Man Who Did Not Want To See Titanic for the English title) is a Finnish drama/romance, but not a comedy nor thriller like it's also categorized. There's a long scene where some thugs lack of compassion but other than that there's no thrilling here. Not a bad movie though if you like drama/romances. Petri Poikolainen plays a blind man in a wheelchair because of MS and he was convincing, which shouldn't be a problem to play as he really suffers from that condition. But he was very convincing in his acting, you feel really sorry for him, which is most likely the point of this movie, and you feel happy for him when things turn out good for once. The cinematography could have been better in my opinion. Sometimes it looked shot with cheap material, out of focus scenes that shouldn't have to be. Maybe on purpose at times but sometimes simple and normal is just better.
