Over the holiday break, I went to see the movie the Blind Side. This movie was based on the real life story of the Raven's Left Tackle Michael Oher. This movie was given a little Hollywood magic and made for what I thought was a very good movie.
The movie discusses the story of a young man with no home and a troubled passed who is taken in by a rich family and raised as one of their own. The movie shows brings up the issues of race all throughout the movie, from the projects to the upright, nice schools. This movie certainly made you think that anything can be possible and that hard work and chasing your dreams can solidify you in the history books.
Some movie critics, such as those on http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1212694-blind_side/say that this is Sandra Bullock's best movie to date. It is a story that may leave some in the movie with tears and others a sense of awe. he naysayers may see this as just a Hollywood fable but I really enjoyed it. Rottentomatoes critics left is with a 74% which is very good in today's movie industry where critics nit pick anything and everything.
One huge issue that the books discusses and is the most relevant in today's society is making profit. That is what the movie industry is all about. If they cannot meet their budget, the movie is seen as a flop and their next movies will be in question. The Blind side did quite well, raking in over $34 million as of Thanksgiving Day.
My friends all want to see it, and my family who I went with, enjoyed it and I cannot wait to see it again. The only thing that left a bitter taste in my mouth is that he could be playing for the Patriots.
