How do you classify movies? For me, movies can broadly be divided into three kinds - the totally forgettable ones, the ones you watch maybe twice and forget, and the ones which touch you deep inside, which change you, the one's you can never forget.
For me, The Blind Side is one such movie. Based on the true life story of Michael Oher and how his life was changed by one lady and her family. The movie depicts just how easy it is for all of us to change the lives of those around us if we can get out of our prejudices and show genuine kindness to them. It also shows how some people will always be there to question your motives behind being kind and helpful - and how that should never be a deterrent.
Quinton Aaron stars as Michael Oher, a boy who has been to a number of foster care centers and has learning problems. Sandra Bullock in the role of her lifetime start as Leigh Anne Tuohy, the woman who changes the life of young Michael. They are ably supported by a cast including Jae head (as SJ), Lily Collins (as Collins)m Tim McGraw (as Sean Tuohy), Ray McKinnon (as Coach Cotton), and Kathy Bates (as Miss Sue) among others.
Watch it specially for the powerpacked acting of Sandra Bullocks (which also won her the Academy Awards for her role) and for the feel good factor of the movie. Also watch it to get inspired into helping those who need your help. My Rating - 5/5. A must watch if you ask me.
