    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "The Blind Side", John Lee Hancock used his own narrative method to make a clear contrast between the East and the West, starting from Western centralism to interpret and interpret the image of the "other" in their understanding, that is, the East. Image . 
    Director John Lee Hancock is always a filmmaker "on the road". Moreover, he is also a skilled director, but he lacks the talent and singular style like Spike Lee , Alexander Payne , Christopher Nolan or even The Wizard .

The audience may enjoy the film very much, but they will not think about it carefully after watching
