Colored child from underprivileged turns good

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2010)

This film is great if you are looking for a feel good movie for the year and your intelligence is under par. If you are one of these people then have a nice day. For those with any intelligence then read further.
The blind side is simply a development of the hit series "the O.C" . A child from a poor family gets adopted from a rich family who seem to have tones of money without showing any proof of actually working for their wealth. This is all very well but the problem with this scenario is that children from bad backgrounds are not friendly bears: This child "Friendly Mike" has no aggressive personality and is simply a really nice kid who happens to have grown up in the wrong part of town. A good film would have examined the difficulties of adopting a child from a poor background and would have the problems that develop with this situation. Instead the rich white family happen to have a perfect child who displays no negative attributes. The question that you need to ask yourself is: what would have happened if the child had robbed the family after his first opportunity to live with them? would they have given up on them or tried to teach him the ways of a better life? The blind side doesn't address any of these issues and simply deals with adopting a child from an underprivileged background who just happens to be perfect already.
An unrealistic story line which would never happen. Nice for those with an unrealistic perspective on life. Would possible have been fine 20 years ago but films have come along way since then and Hollywood needs to address realistic issues.
