Love is Blind, The New Netflix Show To Find a Husband

Love is Blind, The New Netflix Show To Find a Husband

Love is blind is the name of the new Netflix produced show. As the name indicates, this show is all about finding love, through creating an emotional connection without a physical one. Actually, this emerging concept of blind dating (quite literally) is revolutionizing modern dating. This show has captivated the audience since the first episodes, given the fact that it handles the whole aspect of finding a husband differently than any other dating show before.

As oppose to love Island where couples are tempted in order to test their relationship, love is blind actually offers the opposite experience for love hunters.

Different Kind of Reality Shows

Besides gathering people who are looking for love, which is a mainstream concept, if we might say. Instead, this reality show focuses on changing common perceptions of meeting ”the right person.” In fact, the producers insisted that one of the main struggles for both males and females when it comes to finding a partner, is being judged based on physical appearances.

Therefore, the original idea of isolating women from men, and only allowing them to talk through a closed door is rather fascinating. The show basically consists of having 10 women and 10 men, each single and ready to mingle. Then, interactions begin behind closed doors, and you can talk to the other person without having the slightest clue of how they look like. In addition, all participants get to talk to everybody, until they decide with whom they would like having ”further dates.”

Would You Fall For Someone You’ve Never Physically Met?

Technically, physical attraction is vital to the success of a relationship. Nevertheless, the show aims to prove that yes, it is possible to fall in love with someone’s personality, and get to a point that what they look like won’t affect the feelings. However, would you really fall for someone you’ve never touched before? Well, according to how the show ends (no spoilers), it was clear that it’s not for everybody.

In fact, once the couples are officially formed, they are allowed to meet for the first time. However, the difficulties that come with gatherings and social events are not the same as those behind closed doors.

Similar Shows To Love is Blind

As a result of all the drama, heartbreaks, love stories and all, this genre of shows has gained an impressive range of fans. As this show really brings out the reality of modern dating, from ghosting to social media obsessions. People are already eagerly waiting for season 2. However, if you can’t get over the fact that the show has ended already, and need something similar to binge watch immediately, here are few suggestions: Blind Date, Back With The Ex, Married at First Sight, Dating Around, and The Circle.

This Movie Actually Predicted the Outbreak of Coronavirus

by

This fact-checking movie about the spread of a deadly virus, may just have predicted the global disaster of coronavirus. In addition to the animated show The Simpsons, this movie released in 2011, discussed similar events to the world’s current situation.

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 has killed over 3000 people, and numbers don’t cease to increase. As the lethal disease keeps on spreading rapidly, with symptoms that only start to appear two weeks after the infection. Here is what the movie ”Contagion” predicted about Coronavirus.

The Movie Plot of Contagion

Gwyneth Paltrow plays the role of patient 0, or the person responsible for the spread of the virus. Following her business trip to China, she starts feeling sick, but believe sit’s a simple cold. However, just few days later, she suffers a seizure and dies under the shock of doctors unable to figure out the reason behind her death.

Furthermore, the movie illustrates the struggle facing governments to control the spread of the disease. Obviously, secrecy was one of the main issues, which caused media to speculate and eventually frighten the people.

Similarities With Covid19

Since the outbreak of Corona few months ago, the numbers have been alarmingly on the rise. Furthermore, the core of the movie was to show that simple mistakes can come at a great cost. Both the virus in the movie as well as coronavirus, share the fact that they are highly contagious. In addition, in both cases also, people’s panic amid the declaration of an emergency state, show how individuals can be a lead cause of the spread of such viruses.

What Does The Movie Tell Us Exactly?

The main message of the movie Contagion is quite clear. In fact, it addresses the issue of state secrets affecting the public. Just like in reality, various doctors had warned that coronavirus was threatening, yet China ignored their ”cry for help” under the excuse that those were state secrets and shouldn’t frighten the public with them. If anything, China could’ve been able to have better control of the crisis that started in Wuhan, before it was too late.

Secondly, the main origin of the virus in the movie was through the interaction of two animals, that were forced out of their habitat, and brought up to China’s markets under not-very-legal conditions. Moreover, many experts argue that coronavirus originates from wild animals. Markets in China are known to be trafficking with wild animals to make more money. As a consequence, the movie illustrates exactly what happens to the public when governments handle crisis badly.
