The Blind Side Review

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2013)

After review this movie I feel it's a wonderful movie that implements family values, struggles and success. Sandra Bullock (Leigh Ann Touhy) shows how it is still important to still have human values as she takes in a teen kid, Quinton Aaron (Mike Oher ) who has developmental an social issues. She gets him to see that he don't have to become a product of his environment, and although he is from a broken home and has no family, not only does he have a family in her, her family also accepts his situation instead of having a stranger in their home, they look at it as they have a new sibling and embrace him.
This movie demonstrates how everyone may not accept the circumstances and may even become judgment as she battles her family, and friends to do what she know and feels is right. She takes a ride on the other side as she deals with issues in Michael Oher's troubled neighborhood and becomes faced with issues that she was surprised he survived though. He came from a rough neighborhood, drug addict mom who was never there, and dealt with losing contact with his brother. His only means of survival was walking around all day from the laundry mat to the gym finding different places to sleep.
In dealing with the acceptance of their new sibling the Touhy children Lily Collins (Collin) and her brother Sean Jr. or nick named SJ (Jae Head) accepted her new brother no matter how she was looked at a school, and her brother SJ also embraced having a big brother, he helped condition him for his goals in football, and open up socially as they gained structure and developed into a family.
The lighting for the film seemed bright, I take it this way because it was a family film, and it encourages families to want to see it. It theme to me is similar to Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, they both had a big message with great family values.
This is defiantly a must see film with great organizational structure of telling the story of Michael Oher. It shows his success and failures as he gained trust and love for his new family, and they push him all the way from being on the streets with no real future, to being drafted into the NFL, and having a successful Career. The film shows a mother who convinces her whole family to care for a love a young teen, It is a sincere film, and shows how the love of one family can not only change another kids life, but set him up for a positive future.
