The Blind Side Prejudgement

Although the Blind Side is a comedy and action film, it is also a heartwarming film about how one kid changes a family forever, which is why it is one of my favorite films. The Blind Side is about a family seeing a boy in need and taking acting to help him. In the film a young teenage boy struggling with education and finding somewhere to live because of issues with this mother and family. I enjoy watching The Blind Side because there are many aspects that I can connect with, and I think that there is an important lesson within the film. The film touches on issues of prejudgments, helping others, and the query against the motives of helping someone. Prejudgement is a hard topic to talk about, but The Blind Side did a good job presenting this

This connection allows me to understand Mike and how he feels. It also makes me think about what happens when I make judgements before getting to know people and how it can affect their views of themselves. Mike struggled with school until a teacher and Ms. Tuohy helped him. Everyone believed that he was not listening nor could he be taught, but these women realized that he had potential and just needed some help. Ms. Tuohy and Ms. Boswell both benefit from helping Mike. The movie shows how Ms. Tuohy’s views and opinions changed by welcoming someone with a different background into her life. I can relate to this because I think that by helping others you are helping yourself. Both parties grow and learn from each other and the Blind Side does an exquisite job showing it. Finally, after Mike chooses to play football at the same college the Tuohy’s went to an investigator looks into the Tuohy’s motive of helping Mike. I think that this is one of the most important parts of the movie because it shows that even when people have the best intentions some make question why they are helping

The Tuohy family, Leigh, Sean, S.J., and Collins, have decided to welcome Michael into their home after finding out that he has been living on the street for a while. The Tuohy family is always polished. However, Mike does not have much style especially at the beginning when all he had was two shirts both old and raggedy. During the scene he is wearing on the these gray shirts. Mike’s new room has bright blue walls and it is very brightly lit; however, when Ms. Touhy walls into the other room the colors are more dull and dark, and the room is poorly lit. I think that this is suppose to show how the character is feeling. Right before Ms. Tuohy walks away she is excited and happy to show Mike his new room and bed, and Mike tells her that he has never had one before. Ms. Tuohy thought he met a room to himself, but he explains that he never had a bed before. This is surprising and hard for Ms. Tuohy because she never had to think about not having a bed of her own, so when she goes to the other room she is sad explaining the change in the lighting. During the scene the camera switches from Ms. Touhy and Mike to show their different reactions to what had been said. I choose this scene because it shows me how thankful I am for the life I have. This scene definitely represent a reason I appreciate this movie because not only does it show what it means to him, it shows how
