The Blind Side

(Based on a true story)

See the boy at the right, his name is Michael Oher. See the lady on the right, she's my idol. Leigh Anne Touhys, played by Sandra Bullock.

This movie is about the boy, Michael Oher, whom was adopted by the Touhys. Despite the discrimination of others, Mrs Touhys groomed him well. In the end, Michael, also known as big Mike went to fulfill his potential as a successful linebacker and played in NFL. (National Football League, i think. NBA is National Basketball Association right?) It is really heart warming I should say. In Singapore, you will seldom see this. As in, Singaporeans were told to be racial harmony and gracious society and whatever whatever and whatever.. But, this is just only the surface.

Sandra's acting skills is really marvelous. Compare to the other movies I watched. (The Lake House, Miss Congeniality, sad to say only these 2 movies that I had deep impression of her.) I like the way when she brushed herself off when she's know that she's going to cry. I like the way she reacted when other people show disrespect to her. I like the way she educated Michael. Those emotional scenes can really touch you.

I'm very happy to watch this kind of movie.
