One of those great films to be remembered in time.

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2010)

"The Blind Side" is the most successful Sadra Bullock film ever, maybe Speed and Crash having something to say over this statement.
Based on true events, this title tells the story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized Young boy, the product of a poisonous environment in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods. His only chance is the Tuohy family - a wealthy family to say at least - , Leigh Anne Tuohy to be more specific, as she offers her support and invites Michael, to join them for one night at their mansion.
Later on,Leigh Anne becomes more and more interested Michael's situation, as she realizes this boy's sufferance and misery. Not long after, the Touhy family decides it's time to legally adopt Michael in order to make him a real member of their family. Meanwhile the discover that Michael has something special, a self-preservation instinct which makes him suitable for contact sports, like American football, and the Tuohy family loves football...
The acting was high quality, Sandra Bullock did a fabulous job as Leigh Anne, she was genuine and succeeded in transmitting the wonderful personality of her character. I liked the little actor too, he was very energetic, always in the mood for conversation and funny things to say. It's a fair judgment to say that the entire cast did a great, great work as the film looked realistic and authentic, at least to me
I say it one more time, "The blind side" is one of the most inspirational and emotional films I've seen in quite a while. I respect and admire the Touhy family, because they didn't just gave Michael a shelter, but treated him with love and care, made him feel like part of their family, and that is really special.
I rate this title a well deserved ****1/2 out of ***** (9/10)
