My All American Vs. The Blind Side

The two movies that our group decided to analyze were My All American and The Blind Side. When we watched The Blind Side, it had an emotional connection with its audience by showing the main character in a vulnerable light. An example of this can be shown when the 6ft tall African-American protagonist loved and cared wholeheartedly for this little boy. In My All American, it talks about the same sport as The Blind Sport, but it doesn’t pull the heartstrings as much as The Blind Side did. We believe that the success of some movies are based on the ability to attract, engage, and relate to their customer profile.
Our original idea for our movie is using the sport cross country and our coach, Gallo, to represent how the sport is portrayed

in our and Gallo’s. The story starts when our coach is a teenager, and then transitions to him becoming a teacher. We will talk about his life experiences, and what lead him into becoming a cross country coach. The plot will mostly take place in the school where he started teaching, and is still teaches. When his father died, he lost the love for exercising. He later regains his love for exercising due to a hurtful comment from one of his colleagues. Years later, he is given the position to be the head coach of the cross country he didn’t know if he could fulfil the need of his students. However, he found out that not only did he teach the students valuable lessons, and served as a father figure for many students. The students also taught him how to listen, how to calm down, and how to become a family.
