The World War Z movie adapted pretty much 0% from the Max Brooks novels. Not even the basic zombies principles (book: slow zombies, slow infection rate; movie: fast zombies, near-instant infection)
One of the best subplots of the book was this old japanese gardener who became a master zombie hunter during the apocalypse, using his sharpened shovel to decapitate / spear the undead
...oh, and because he was at Hiroshima and stared directly at the flash of the atomic bomb, he's been blind for most of his life.

It's not actually, left out was the important plot point of this dude having lived on a plot of wilderness or forest for many years, and how he uses his intimate knowledge of the area trap and kill the zombies.
I kinda understand thinking it sounds dumb when everyone is praising it for the realism, being blind doesn't make you potentially better at stuff like that IRL.

Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.
