can you imagine a life without sensory perception?!

I started to think about this topic when I watched a movie called "Perfect Sense". This movie is about losing the 4 major sensory perceptions (I know there are 5 sensory perceptions, but the movie just mentions 4 as it would be hard to show what it's like to lose your sense of touch?! ). It all starts with an epidemic which begins to spread throughout the globe! Humans lose their senses one at a time. Each loss is preceded by an outburst of an intense feeling or urge. 
Like in nearly every movie, there is a romantic story too. Michael and Susan have just met before the epidemic broke out. Faced with the same problems caused by slowly losing all their senses they are falling in love with each other. 
The first sense they lose is the sense of taste which is preceded by a great sorrow. People suddenly start to cry. As Michael's profession is cooking, it has a huge effect on his work. Can you imagine going into a restaurant, eating an incredible meal but don't taste anything?! People would probably stop spending money on expensive meals in restaurants. That's why Michael and his collegues start to focus on preparing the meals as pretty as possible because "what looks good tastes good".
The next loss is the sense of smell preceded by a sudden feeling of panic. The sense of smell is probably the one you can rather live without. Of course you would miss the scent of flowers, food, etc but you also don't have to smell things like your dog's wet fur. 
However, the next loss is the sense of hearing. This loss is preceded by an outbreak of extreme anger and rage. Michael starts to shout at Susan and insults her so that they stop seeing each other.
Suddenly people experience a feeling of joyful euphoria which precedes the last loss, the loss of vision. Of course there is a happy end, and they come back together :)

What I really liked about this movie was, for instance, when they lost their sense of hearing, there were minutes of complete silence in the movie. You could see that people were talking but you couldn't hear anything. The director tried to show how it is to live without your sense of hearing. As we all know there are people who are born without this sense and who have to live their whole life without ever being able to listen to music, to hear their own voice or the voice of anyone else. At the end when they lost their sense of vision the screen goes black and a voice is explaining what is happening at the moment. Michael and Susan are coming back together and are kissing after just losing their last sense, the sense of vision.

Although the movie itself was not that good, I found it quite interesting to see how people deal with the loss of their sensory perceptions. Moreover, it really set me thinking. How life would be after just losing one of these 4 senses?!
So be thankful for every sense you have!! Maybe just try to live blindfolded for one day..
