I think everyone was shocked to find Blindside opened in the number one spot in the U.S when it came out there. I thought this film was going to heavy on the American football. It’s not. I also thought it may be depressing. It’s not that either. I really, really enjoyed this film. Based on the book written by Michael Lewis, this is the true story of Michael Oher, a poor, oversized and under-educated black teenager, who is taken in by an affluent white family, the Touey’s. Sandra Bullock plays Leigh-Anne Touey, who see’s Michael’s potential, and also his tenderness. Michael faces new challenges when he starts school, and comes up against a tough school board and faces learning difficulty. Even in sport, where they assume he will flourish, he struggles. But Leigh Anne’s persistent belief in Michael, as an intelligent and sensitive person slowly gives Michael a reason to try anything, and be good at it. It soon becomes clear Michael has star football potential and they begin to groom him into an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. This is a feel good film, you’ll leave the cinema smiling, I did. Sandra Bullock does give an excellent performance, and the supporting cast is just as good. Stick around for the credits; you get to see some footage of the real family! Definitely worth a watch |
