It's time to kick back and relax with this motion picture! If you haven't seen The Blind Side yet, I would definitely recommend it. Not because its one of my favourite films but mainly because it should be illegal not to have seen it!
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of seeing this stunning studio product, Ill give you a brief overview: The story follows a boy who grew up in the ghetto and later finds himself on the streets. Pining after an education to lead him to a better life than what his family have lead, he enrols at a school where his head teacher soon finds out his circumstance and takes him under her wing in a bid to help him achieve the better life he deserves.
I don't want to give away the plot as I would love it if you took my recommendation and watched it too and let me know what you thought by commenting on this post. However, I will say that the story follows a heart-warming adventure that challenges the connections between middle and working-class citizens and the common misconception that middle-class citizens become oblivious to the less fortunate world around them.
I am a huge fan of John Lee Hancock and was first in line to see the recent 'Saving Mr.Banks', his work takes the simplest things in life to a whole new level and bringing together polar opposites that somehow just click together in a way that not many people could pull off.
Not only does this compelling story celebrate the great connections that Americans can have with one another but challenges the alienation of black, working class boys as a continual factor in society as Michael seeks the acceptance of his peers in school.
The film isn't all serious, it had me giggling in numerous parts and is highly entertaining as well as sincere, I perceive the term a 'must-see' to be much to overused. However, in terms of how great this film really is, i'm going to go against my views and say... This film certainly is a must-see movie!
Ill leave you to get on Amazon, Netflix or wherever else you are willing to watch this film and express your own views in the comments below!
Thanks as always for taking time out of your day to read this, I'll be back posting again very soon!
