Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2012)

The movie 'The Blind Side' is a movie that I looked forward to watching and it definitely didn't disappoint in my eyes. The movie is great because it's based on a true story of how a couple Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy, played by Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw, took in a homeless kid and gave him some direction. The kid they took in was Michael "Big Mike" Oher who was played by Quinton Aaron. I would consider one of the major themes in this movie to be something along the lines of if you put your all into something no matter the obstacle you'll achieve your goals, and that's exactly what Michael Oher did. I think throughout the film you get many different themes whether it's race, family, or simply sports. I think the film did a great job at being inspirational and giving people hope to succeed. To me this film seems a lot like Gladiator, stay with me for a minute, my reasoning behind this is a person has a family loses them goes through some extremely rough times, but in the end they fight their way to the top and succeed. In Gladiator they had the same issues race, family, and sport, but obviously the movie plot is a touch different and I know this is a long stretch so please just use your imagination and think about it. Overall I think anyone who gives this movie the time will really appreciate it.
