This is for school

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2018)

In the movie "The Blind Side", Michael Oher played by Quinton Aaron, is a homeless kid that grew up in a bad family with no one to take care of him or put clothes on his back. SJ Tuohy played by Jae Head, notices Michael walking to school every day in the pouring rain and sees he's wearing the same clothes every day as well. When SJ spots him walking again in the rain, he tells his mom Leigh, played by Sandra Bullock, that his name is big Mike and she picked him up in the rain due to her sympathy. As Leigh is asking many questions about Michael, she finds out he really doesn't have anything and is homeless and she offers him to stay at their place for a little while. As he stays there for a few days, Leigh wanted him to play football for how big he is and the whole family loves football. Michael soon makes the team and becomes noticed by many college recruits because of his size. As he gets many school scholarships, he has trouble with grades in school and might not be able to get scholarships from the schools. Leigh and Sean, played by Tim McGraw, hire a tutor for Michael to help him get his grades up for the college schools. When committing to Ole Miss for football, him and his family come across some troubles about Leigh and her family influencing him to go to Ole Miss because that was their favorite school. As they got through their troubles, they turned Michael into a good kid and a good football player.
"The Blind Side" is a great movie that shows someone that had nothing, and he turned his life around and made it to the NFL. The theme for this movie is someone that had nothing worked for something. Michael Oher in the movie had no family around him until Leigh and Sean came along and brought him in. They gave him the opportunity to be someone and he put his time and effort into becoming who he is today. There were some elements that made this film look its best in certain scenes. When Michael was choosing which college hat to put on, the lighting of the camera was on him that showed the moment of his life on where he was going to go next. Another element used is when Michael runs into his old friend that he used to know as a kid and he hugs him in the restaurant and at that angle, you can see Leigh, Sean, and SJ in the background looking at Michael and saw how happy he was to see someone he knew. This true story is great to be shared and watched and understand what some people go through to become what they are, and it can be used in real life examples. Another movie like this theme is "Pursuit of Happyness" which had the same idea of someone homeless and poor putting their effort into their work and having it pay off for them in the best way. Just like a lot of movies that portray this theme, they are always great stories to watch and watch the great outcomes that come out of movies with this theme.
