Set in the Deep South during the postwar era, Wise Blood stars Brad Dourif as an aimless veteran, who decides to become a Bible-thumping preacher (for a questionable concern called “The Church Wihout Christ”) principally because he hasn’t anything better lined up. Dourif links up with a veteran of the hellfire-and-brimstone circuit, who for business purposes pretends to be blind. The older man persuades Dourif to blind himself for real so that he can truly “see the light” (yes, the movie is that weird). Director Huston, himself, appears as Dourif’s grandfather. Adapted from the one-of-a-kind novel by Flannery O’Connor, Wise Blood was a noble experiment but a box-office failure-though, to be fair, Huston never set out to make a blockbuster from O’Connor’s offbeat tale., Based on the novel of the same name by Flannery O’Connor, Wise Blood is a distrubing story of religious phonies in the South. Brad Dourif plays a soldier home from the war who changes his uniform for the garb of a preacher, although he has little belief in religion. He hooks up with a blind preacher who turns out not to be blind but who nevertheless persuades Dourif to be blind himself so he can learn the truth. Truth turns out to be illusory, however, as his landlady, who wants to care for him, virtually makes him a prisoner., Grim satire about religious phonies in the American South. A soldier returns from army service and changes his uniform for the garb of a preacher – although he has little faith or religion. He meets up with a blind preacher, who turns out not to be blind, but who nevertheless persuades him to blind himself so that he can learn the truth., A Southerner – young, poor, ambitious but uneducated – determines to become something in the world. He decides that the best way to do that is to become a preacher and start up his own church., One of John Huston’s greatest films, an almost Gothic odyssey starring Brad Dourif as the founder of the Church Without Christ, established to try and shake off his own religious heritage and upbringing. With Ned Beatty, Harry Dean Stanton and Huston himself as Dourif’s grandfather., In the post-World War II Deep South, an aimless veteran decides to become a Bible-thumping preacher (for a questionable church) principally because he hasn’t anything better lined up.
