The Blind Side

"Look at the wall. Christian, we either take that seriously or we paint over it!" Best line in a movie since "I'll be back"!
While a few of the details in the movie were not true to real life, many were. This movie was funny, clever, sincere and inspiring! I will own it the second it is released on DVD.
This true story is proof that there are still people willing to take a gamble and invest themselves in another person. And that person is willing to not kill them and steal from them, which is a very important point.
The story of Michael Oher doesn't have a pleasant beginning. Choosing not to be a victim of his circumstance but making the most of what he had was the key factor that allowed him to overcome the statistics of the ghetto.
People are talking about Sandra Bullock's acting in this movie, that it was superb. Of course it is! She is VERY good at her job and I believe she is perfect for movies like this.
The last time I was THIS inspired by a film was when I saw "The Pursuit of Happyness" starring Will Smith (another amazing actor and another true story).

GO SEE THE MOVIE!
