Good lessons to be learned from this movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2013)

The movie that I am going to review is the blind side it is about a boy named Mike who lives on the streets and has a family take him in to live with them. Mike was going to school to play football and he had to learn how to play and he had to learn how to deal with people thinking that he was not the smartest kid to go to the school that he was attending. Mike was slow to learn and could not read well but if someone would read the material to him he was able to get a passing grade on the assignments. The person who took Mike in was trying to help him by getting him a tutor so that he would be able to play football in college. After having a bad family life Mike tried hard to accomplish his goals to better himself and make his adopted family proud of him. The major actors in the movie are Michael Oher who is played by Quinton Aaron, Leigh Anne Tuohy played by Sandra Bullock, S.J. Tuohy played by Jae Head, Sean Tuohy played by Tim McGraw. The theme of the movie is coming of age. The reason that I chose this theme is because Michael Oher had to learn what it was like to have a family that cared about him and helped him achieve his goals. Another movie where I feel that the theme is coming of age is in Coach Carter because the team had to learn how to play under the new coaches rules and follow a contract that they all signed in the beginning of the season. The first technique that I am choosing is dialog because of how Leigh Anne spoke to Michael and told him that he had to protect the family and keep them safe and he told her that she had nothing to worry about he would protect her. The next is color when Michael was on the street he wore dark and dirty clothes and when Leigh Anne bought him new clothes he got bright colors and he kept them clean. If you are able to get help from someone or from different people and they believe that you are doing your best you can make yourself and your life better.
