A must see movie that provides a good message!

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2012)

The "Blind Side" is a movie for the entire family. If a person is looking for a movie with a heartfelt message, but still involves a few laughs, this is it! The movie balances out the drama and comedy, which is great! The best thing about The Blind Side is that it is based on a true story of Baltimore Ravens football player Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron). Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw also have roles in this film as Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy. They played a married couple who discovers Michael Oher while at a restaurant one evening. They were told that he was a homeless teenager and both decided to bring him into their family. After viewing this movie, I feel that it was put together perfectly. I thought that it would be all about football, but I was wrong. It goes into more detail of Michael and how he becomes the person he is today. Michael Ohor was attending a predominately white private school, which was proved to be a task for him. He was an uneducated African American male and needed to seek help from others in order to succeed in high school. Michael was able to fulfill his dream of playing football in high school and the storyline takes on from there. One thing that stuck out the most from the movie to me is the love the Tuohy family showed Michael to make him feel like he was actually part of their family. Another thing is that once a person thinks that they figured out the plot of the movie, they will be thinking, "Wow that definitely took an interesting turn." Not many movies can keep a person thinking to what will exactly happen and this is one of them. Sandra Bullock is not one of my favorite actresses, but after this movie I look at her so different. She definitely played her role in this film and I was very impressed by the hard work she put into it. Please be sure to go out and support this movie! It's a must see!
