Jessica Alba’s new Chinese horror remake, The Eye, takes us on a journey of the supernatural after an eye transplant. Which is all fine and dandy, but I think the directors were focusing too much on the scares and missed a pretty important part of the plot. For anyone, especially Jessica Alba, who’s had an eye transplant and can now see, common sense dictates that there should be a good amount of time — about 45 minutes worth — dedicated to exploring one’s own body. Sensually. With massage oil. And possibly with another woman equally as sexy and equally as naked. But, I guess the directors didn’t want realism in their movie so they substituted prolonged self-exploration with creepy ghosts. Typical Hollywood.
Same logic that cast Jessica as Invisible Girl in “The Fantastic Four.”
