Nice Movie with Memorable Performance

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2010)

The best parts of this film are Sandra Bullock's performance -especially when she puts that face with quivering eyes-, Quinton Aaron's (Michael Oher), silent suffering and Jae Head (S.J. Tuohy)-with his funny remarks-. The story is touching and the visuals are more than beautiful.
Other aspects of the movie were also important as long as the well elaborated script reflected a good rhythm and kept interest through the progress of the narrative. Michael's life details are revealed in accordance to the scenes' relations bringing out the drama of his childhood and frustrations from his mother's behavior.
You could dispute the archetypal approach about the afroamerican's way of living but it serves to the story's purpose, which is based on actual facts wherein a white family supported this child's overcome from poverty and hopelessness -it really impressed me Michael's answer to Leigh Ann's comment when setting up his bedroom-.
I watched Meryl Streep's performance which competes against Bullock's at the Oscars and I definitely have to lean toward the latter because of her deliverance showing a human and Cristian approach which enhances a wonderful message regardless the political or classist status./
