A simply-plain well-created sports movie with superb audience attractiveness, charming personalities, a sprightly demeanor and totally entertaining.
"The Blind Side" is Sandra Bullock's best performance ever. Her sassy and brassy character's dynamics rely entirely on insightful, professional interpretation and he or she proves consummately skilled at every line, every nuance and a consistently on-target southern accent.
Director John Lee Hancock appears to understand, at each moment, the dialogue, body language, story progression, photography and editing to stay his film stepping in a very polished lively pace, with gripping, carefully delivered emotions and an unerring sense of audience involvement. It's a refreshing integrity regarding it, with sharp insights into the present-day South in relation to race matters. One could complain slightly that it might have used more volatile material here and there, however I'm totally satisfied.
Michael Oher was born among thirteen siblings within the slums of Memphis, an African-Yankee child from a broken home. He had never known his father who, after all, was murdered, something that this kid learned only after he'd entered high school. His mom was a crack addict, his brothers and sisters soon scattered everywhere. Oher (Quinton Aaron) was destined for NFL stardom. Bodily, he was huge.
Oher (Quinton Aaron), classmate of teenager Collins (Lily Collins), is invited by her mother Leigh Ann Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) to be taken beneath the wing of their affluent white family, with loving dad Sean (Tim McGraw) and good-mouthed however soccer-savvy son SJ (Jae Head). Leigh Ann is a successful interior decorator and pa owns many fast-food eateries.
This can be happening in Oher's senior year at high school. They dedicate themselves to assist the very withdrawn Oher rise by his own resources that, at 1st, don't impress the workers at the well-heeled personal school. However the soccer coach (Ray McKinnon), who's desperate at this point for a few budding game force, gets Oher in as a student. How he's to be told subtle history, literature and writing is another matter, even given over to the dedication of a special personal tutor (Kathy Bates).
Oher shows wonderful talent as a soccer player, a lot of to the pride also of the Tuohy family who have a history of soccer playing. It is determined too soon in the link that Oher's psychology includes a profound and very deep want to shield those about whom he cares. The coach, perfectly aware that in the game of soccer it is the left tackle who's supposed to guard the quarterback from blind aspect attacks, sees this protection side of the physically imposing Oher as invaluable.
Yet how is Oher, with a grade-purpose averaged of 1.five (a "D"), going to qualify for the schools whose scouts are coming when him.
More than Quinton Aaron as Michael, Sandra Bullock throws herself into this role with a driving perfection. Her Leigh Ann's feisty, no-nonsense energy proves to be an audience-fascinating generator of appreciative emotional attachment.
With not even a hint of a boring moment anywhere, and heaps of chuckle-worthy encounters, allowing solely a carefully parceled sentimentalism, I am going to recommend this together of the most engaging very little dramas of the year.
