Black cat/white cat, and Sandra Bullock in marriage

I remember that when I was learning to drive in college, the coach taught me that the procedure every time I choose to change lanes is to keep the speed--make a judgment at a good time---sign a signal---the last and the most important thing: ALWAYS check the blind side (last and most important: always observe the blind side).

Judgment is a choice that can be made in a moment or two. Everyone is making judgments every moment: Who is a friend? Who is an enemy? Is the situation good for you? What can I get from the current situation? ..... Whether it is subconscious or unconscious, the brain waves of judgment exist all the time. Leaving aside the fuzzy areas that have been layered after deep consideration, there seems to be only good and bad, right and wrong in the world-either a black cat or a white cat.

In the thinking of true and false questions, Leigh Ann, who adopted a black son, is a wealthy businessman’s wife, a typical high-profile white teacher’s wife. The J12 is the JP style of the upstart in the south of the United States. The black son Michael is even more classic: a criminal with a full face (more like a real person), a tall man looks full of rapists or bank professionals, and a drug-addicted mother makes him grow up. The background is full of contempt.

Leigh Ann saw Michael for the first time, thinking of the genius physique possessed by a football guard; the first time he saw Michael’s mother who took drugs, what he saw was the reluctance and heartache of her son in her cloudy eyes; the first time she was caught When NCAA investigators were embarrassed, they felt not their own grievances but their own mistakes. It has nothing to do with "warm affection"/"inspirational". This is just a question of focus: when facing new people and things for the first time, should you be based on "goodness", or based on the experience and stereotype that the society tells you (Typical representative) to judge? Most people, including me, use stereotype to make judgments. This ensures that most of the choices are correct, but it also makes the blind side that you can't see becomes bigger and bigger.

The rich are not necessarily greedy, although most of them love money like fate; the
poor are not necessarily all pitiful, even though most of them have miserable lives;
Whites are not necessarily arrogant, although most of them are arrogant;
blacks are not necessarily dangerous, although most of them are swords and guns;

yes, this movie is full of popular themes of family/sensational/black people in American society nowadays. It is easy to make literary and artistic youths cry and it is easy to make angry youths despise its depth. I just want to make it simple: as young people, even if we understand, we can’t grasp Leigh Ann’s choice of family, but her views on people and things are not only positive but also full of fair/just/open love. What many people lack. Winners are like her. What do you see is that people who stand on the top of society use their little advantages to help the weak, or is this spirit of great love made her what she is today?

If you have read all the words above and are still criticizing this movie for being fake/big/empty, then I can only use Leigh Ann’s evaluation of his jeweled sister in the fine dining restaurant to say something to you:" Shame on you."

About the knowledge of rugby, I won't repeat them one by one. Please refer to 2pthegamer's film review, which is very comprehensive and specific.
I watched the film after Sandra Bullock won the award. At that time, all the entertainment news in North America was focusing on the story of her husband betraying him in real life, trying to dig out all the details. In short, almost the second day after Sandra got the film, an exposed and evil tattooed woman turned out to tell the world about the two-year affair between her and her husband. "Blind Side" period. The film literally translated as "blind spot" seems to be a satire of the blind spot of her own marriage. More coincidentally, like the choice of the protagonist Leigh Ann in the film, Sandra's biggest concern after the scandal turned out to be the custody of the daughter born to her husband and his ex-wife: because the little girl’s biological mother is now in prison, and the father Sandra’s reputation is obviously not suitable for raising her daughter; when people all over the world thought that Sandra would do her best to deal with the sinister harm of the tattooed woman, she took on the responsibility of her stepmother and took her stepdaughter to the countryside to escape the chaos and work hard. Fight for custody of the stepdaughter.

Can't believe it? Reality is always better than movies, and it is also a hundred times more sinister because of reality. In the film, Michael's biological mother told him to "close his eyes" when facing dirty. This kind of helpless escape from reality is not only for the poor, but also for the rich; blacks and whites, and we all have them. The world is disgusting, but sometimes you get used to it.

The Blind Side quotes

  • Miss Sue: You like Tennessee? That's a good school. Not at the academic level of Ole Miss but they have an outstanding science department. You know what they're famous for? They work with the FBI, to study the effects of soil on decomposing body parts. When they find a body, the police wanna know how long it's been dead. So the fine folks at Tennessee help them out. Oh, they have lots of body parts. Arms and legs and hands, from hospitals and medical schools. And do you know where they store 'em? Right underneath the football field. So while it's fine and dandy to have 100,000 fans cheering for you, the bodies you should be worried about are the ones right under the turf. Set to poke up through the ground and grab you... Well, it's your decision where you wanna play ball. Don't let me influence you.

  • Michael Oher: Mrs. Touhy?

    Leigh Anne Touhy: I hear "Mrs. Touhy" I look over my shoulder for my mother-in-law. Call me Leigh Anne or Mama or almost anything else.
