The Blind Side is based on a true story about a colored teenager born into a bad environment. With a mom as a crack head and no father he has no adult to guide him to be a mature grown-up. He also has no where to sleep or a home. A wealthy mother Leigh Ann Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) takes him in and tries to teach him the value to having a family and being human. And with the help of the people who care about him, he becomes an all-star football player which will take him on his road to fame.
Sandra Bullock plays an amazing character that the author should absolutely be given credit for (even though it is a true story). But also, Sandra Bullock should be given credit as well. She plays the part amazingly well with great acting skills showing throughout the whole film. Leigh Ann Tuohy is a very strict mother and woman. Though also very emotional, she doesn't really like to show it. She feels so horribly bad for this poor boy that she decides to take him in as her own. However, she doesn't want to be betrayed as a sappy, weak woman. She tries to stay strong in her emotions through the whole movie but when she does lose it, doesn't want to be seen. I did not think that Sandra Bullock could pull off a southern accent but DOES. She does it very subtly but it works. Altogether Bullock did a very nice job in this performance.
Also, Quinton Aaron did a very swell job in the picture playing Michael Oher, a teen who eventually becomes an excellent left tackle. He was very picky with his emotions and made me cry a couple of times. He comes off as an uneducated boy but shows that he sure as hell isn't stupid. He doesn't talk very much but when he does, you can't hold back your tears. Excellent job to Aaron.
A Great cast of actors makes this job a success and a MUST SEE! There's a appreciable lesson in this plot. Trusting the people you love and sticking up for your family and what you believe in is really important and that's what will get you in the end (tear wise). And that's the lesson that should be taken home from the theaters.
