You will probably watch this to determine if Sandra Bullock deserves her recent acting nominations for this film that's based on a true account of traumatized Michael Oher who eventually ended up as a professional NFL player, but you'll also find that it's a decent movie filled with inspiring warmth, love and at times, laughter over the little things that Michael performs as an innocent youth. This will be the better choice in cinema this week, when in doubt of what to catch after Avatar.
The Blind Side is essentially, a simplistic work of film that is straightforward and does not complicate matters like most others often do. Not just the film, but the entire cast as well as their acts within the film. Naive and simple-minded Michael Oher may be as a traumatized kid from the Projects who got separated from his tragic-fated family and ended up roaming the streets as a desolate vagrant, but his heart of kindness and gold has earned the love and respect of the Tuohys - the family who took him in one chilling winter night after witnessing his piteous plight during the Christmas season. Having a wonderful family who takes him in and accommodates to his basic needs, Michael has never felt so loved in his life prior his meet with the Tuohys as his life in the Projects previously was an extremely tragic contrast to the care and shelter he was pampered with. Michael's life was totally changed by the Tuohys, and so was the Tuohy's by Michael's integration in the family.
Michael finds an exceptionally deep connection with Mrs Leigh Anne Tuohy and the little brilliant boy S.J. Tuohy (played by Jae Head who is one of the child stars to watch with his outstanding performance, trust me you'll be amazed!) as the film progressed, and there's a lot of interaction between Leigh Anne and Michael that provided the opportunity for Sandra Bullocks to shine as a sassy kick-ass mother who manages to fulfill her utmost duty as a great mother to two children and a loving spouse to an understanding husband in the midst of all the charity work she performs while having to juggle her career as well. With that, it isn't so very difficult to understand the tough and brave demeanour Leigh Anne is always sporting in front of her family. At times during the run of the film, you've got to hand it to her and admit that she's one hell of a great modern mother! Sandra Bullocks pulled off a convincing act as Leigh Anne and managed to entice juries for nominations, which is duly deserved in my personal opinion. Not to mention that she looked hot while at it, even during the confrontation of the bad boys in the Projects neighbourhood in her little tight dress with a petite lady bag that housed a pistol that she probably isn't afraid to use when she has to.
Revolving around the process of how Michael found his way to playing professional NFL football, The Blind Side also serves as an inspiring sports story that is unpretentious and filled with positive notions of love, happiness and warmth. It calls for us to dig deep within ourselves and rediscover the pure side of us as the film renders a few moments of simple bliss, with laughter at times too showing all the silly little things Michael does as a pure kind soul. Perhaps in life, all it takes is a little something or someone to remind us how it can all be simple and jubilant in this saturated world of sophisticated evil.
