Journal #3
The Blind Side is a
very good movie in my opinion. I think I like it so much because of the
setting and character type. In the movie
there is a very clear line between the upper and lower class.
The main character Michael
Oher has trouble getting into a very nice school because of his past educational
background and in my opinion by the way he looks. The mother of the family that takes him in is
played by Sandra Bullock; she has a big effect on why I like the movie so
much. I’ve always liked her as an actress
in all other movies she’s acted in. There’s
a scene in the movie when Bullock and some of her regular friends meet for
lunch. It is there when her very elegantly
dressed friends find out that she is actually serious about helping this boy
get on the right track, and she will so anything to help. Her friends quickly
change the way they are thinking and say “you’re changing that boys life” and
she says, “…No he’s changing mine.” The way of thinking between the upper class
is expressed a lot differently between her friends and Sandra herself as a character.
There’s an aspect of the movie that leaves you wondering how this kid with no
family actually makes it to the NFL, that kind of context intrigues me when it
comes to movies.
