People are hooked
watching movies, even if it is not realistic. We are accustomed of stories like
The Avengers; the vampire stories which are very mainstream especially the one
involving the relationship between a woman and a man living in the underworld
who has supernatural abilities. However, there are movie lovers like me who is
fond of watching “true to life stories” or “based-on a true story” types of
film. Each one of us can relate ourselves on the movies we watched. According
to Tony Schwartz’s theory “resonance”, when someone watched television, listen
to a radio or even see an advertisement if we found out that we can easily get
to relate ourselves and remember something in the past that match what we see,
there is a resonance. Now why do I tell this? It’s just because I can also
remember things from my past when I watch a certain film and maybe you too
experienced it. If you are a sports lover, I am sure whether you are successful
or not in the field you are into, you will definitely love the film by John LeeHancock. But do not you, those who are not very much in to sports will also
embrace this good movie produced.
A heartfelt,
mellow-dramatic and a must-see film, entitled “The Blind Side” casting SandraBullock, Tim McGraw and Aaron Quintana. The latter portrayed the role of
Michael Oher, a football player, whose big bulk and ample physique enables him
to strike and knock-out his adversaries with great ease. He is now a successful
football player who was officially adopted by Mrs. Leigh Anne and Mr. Sean
Tuohy. They are also the reason for Oher’s scholarship at The University ofMississippi or Ole Miss. He is also
lucky to be with the children of the Touhy couple, SJ played by Jae- Head and Collins
played by Lily Collins. The chronological arrangement of the movie was plotted
perfectly and elaborately. Ever since, I was always touched by a
family-oriented story, just like “The Blind Side” which was actually based on
the book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a game” was written by Michael Lewis. It
showed that there are still people in the society who are not after the
physical appearance or the culture of who they will lend their help to. The
moral of the story taught me to be more sensitive with others’ social status in
life and to have the need to help others without any favor in return. Football
is a game in America which is intently for man with a strong-build up. Having a
clear mind is also needed in order to win and compete fully strong. There are
also mockers not only in the audience but also in the actual game. Your opponents
will try to turn you down so that you will lose your concentrations; “stick and
stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” quoted Mrs. Touhy. Words
are always a deadly weapon. These are the common scenarios; Michael Oher is
facing difficulties when he is in the game. At first, he encounters failure. He
is always aggressive but his actions were in a wrong move. With the help of SJ
Touhy, he was trained in a one-on one football lesson. The success of the story
will not be complete without the woman who is very compassionate in helping
Michael Oher. She is dedicated, eager and loving who wanted to teach someone
and also learn back from that someone. Had it not been for Ms. Leigh Ann Touhy,
Michael will always stays as if he see himself as nothing. The character of
Mrs. Touhy that had always been at Michael’s back especially on his downsides
showed how a loving parent is. The role was been justified with the acting of
Bullock, whose performance touched my heart. She has been in different roles
and different character approaches but she is a winner for me in this film.
Professionally played but not too stiffed, she showed the real Ms. Tuohy and on
how it act as a supportive parent with her kids. The supporting roles also of her
husband, Sean was just appropriate for the character given to Tim McGraw. You
will also like the acting of Jae-Head for he is funny and witty.
I hope that I did
not spoil your moment in order to see the film. You might be guessing and
eventually trying to come up on a bunch of answers why the film was entitled
“The Blind Side” when you finished watching the movie; it is easy to conclude and
agree of the title. But what if it had different meanings? I had kept my
thoughts on how it was entitled; I figured it out of the box. Every successful
player has their own story, maybe it is boring for others but it is worth for
some people. We are in a cycle in which sometimes we are blind to see what we can
share and teach others, and most of the time we learned from them. I hope you
will enjoy the movie “The Blind Side” and as you watch it, carefully listen to the
voice over because sometimes it seems unimportant. But Sandra Bullock has a
clue to say that is related to the whole story. She says “to protect the quarter
back of what he can’t see, to protect his blind side.”
