The Blind Side 2009 (English)

Every once a while there comes along a movie which makes you look back at your life and feel how selfish we were and how selfish we continue to be.

Well this movie is one of a kind.

Sandra Bullock who starts along with Quinton Aaron and Tim McGraw in this family drama directed by John Lee Hancock is one damm good movie that should not be missed by people who like the genre "family drama" like American Beauty.

Its about how the life African-American homeless student Michael Oher(Quinton Aaron) changes when he meets the Touhy's(Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw) and well-to-do white family who help realize his potential. The Touhy's meets Oher on the street on a cold night and make him stay the night at their couch. Thus begins a relationship so beautifully described that mesmerizes you right to the core. Well a black boy living in a well to do white family is sure to make others comfortable, but he way in which how The Touhy's manage this, that is shown on-screen is beautiful.

The presence of Oher changes the lives of the Touhy's for the better. Meanwhile Oher studies hard and becomes a part of Touhy family, and being a "freakishly large man" tries as an offensive tackle for college (american) football team. The rest is how with the support from his family, Oher becomes an All-American football star.

The sequence where Sandra Bullock tells Quinton Aaron what to do during practice where she tells "This team is your family Michael, protect them" is amazing, so too the scene during the football match when Sandra yells "Yo, deliverance. You see Number74. Well thats my son". 

Finally Sandra Bullock performance is superb in this movie. Right in the performance race is Quinton Aaron. Tim McGraw is good. The two kids are amazing.

Overall a very good family story.
