Excellent movie!

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2020)

The Blind Side does nothing short but hit home, Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw do a phenomenal job of coming together to take in this man who is homeless and rugged looking. While raising two other children of their own, and fighting the many battles of two, very much Caucasian taking in an African American. On a side note who is freakishly tall to say the least. Most would be quick to judge and assume that he is stealing from them, or using them. But "Big Mike" was just grateful to have a home and a place to lay his head at night. He didn't know how to react or what to expect because he had been homeless for so long. His mother was a drug addict and was not able to provide for him. When Leigh Ann (Sandra Bullock) observes this she acts fast on taking him home, and what was thought to just be a few nights turned into Leigh Ann and Sean (Tim McGraw) adopting him and eventually sending him off to college. This changed both his life and their own and their children as well. You can easily see that this film contains a drama theme. While it could also be a "sport" themed movie, due to Michael becoming a well renown football star, I really think that drama is the most important piece here.
Sandra and Tim do an excellent job, parenting together, bringing this man into their lives, despite the judgements they Receive from people in the community. As well as the judgements that SJ and Collins are thrown into for being white and being around Michael is is not white. Those are just some prime examples of why this has a theme of drama. Michael had been in and out of schools, and Leigh Ann wanted him enrolled in the private Christian school where the other kids are going, while he really struggled with school due to being in and out of the school system, his athletic ability is what got him into this private school.
The acting by all characters is nothing short of excellent, these specific actors work really well together and make this film seem more realistic as it is based on a true story. I would say that motif is a common and appropriate technique, due to the repetitive judgments that the family is getting for taking Michael in, the other important technique is lighting, especially in the scenes where Michael is in the field playing football. All of this easily ties together making this a drama film, also showing the love that this family creates for Michael to make him feel at home, and feel accepted into their family.
