The lost beauty

It's an inspirational film, but I don't see much inspiration from here. The homeless Fatty Barley’s biggest fortune is to meet a good family of kind-hearted people, so that he can have a bed, sleep, eat, wear, and read books, so he doesn’t need to be like a little brother from a slum. Died tragically in a gang fight.

But in such a society where even the old lady who falls down on the road has to be brave enough to avoid getting into lawsuits, how many people are willing to believe in such a warm and beautiful story? Leigh’s friends didn’t believe it, and NCAA investigators didn’t believe it. There must be a lot of people who watched this film who didn’t believe it. In fact, I didn’t believe it for a while while watching the film. It was not until the end of the film and the photos of real people came out that my vigilance gradually grew. To relax.

But who knows if this so-called true story has been exaggerated and beautified? Whenever I have similar doubts in my heart, I can’t help but think of Leigh’s words "Shame on you." Good things, such as Peng Yu who helped up the old lady who fell, such as charity organizations that provided relief to earthquakes, such as black people who launched love life activities. This is the shame of the entire society, the shame of each of us.

I particularly like one of the conversations. Leigh asked her husband why he always thinks about others. He said I don't know, but you obviously got some abnormal satisfaction. This paragraph greatly enhances the realism of the story. I really didn’t help you for no reason. I’m actually enjoying the pleasure of helping others, but don’t you think my helping hand is malicious?

Go find the goodness that you have lost in your heart.

    One of the most warm and touching feature films of 2009! Super recommended, although a bit late...

    I have never had this-a bed!

The Blind Side quotes

  • Michael Oher: Mr. Touhy sleeps on the couch?

    Leigh Anne Touhy: Only when he's bad.

  • Leigh Anne Touhy: [talking about the Tuohy's Christmas card photo with Michael in it]

    Elaine: He looks so big compared to you like Jessica Lange right next to King Kong

    [amidst chuckles]

    Beth: Hey, does Michael get the family discount at Taco Bell? 'Cause if he does Sean is gonna lose a few stores.

    Leigh Anne Touhy: He's a good kid.

    Elaine: Well, I say you make it official and just adopt him

    [laughs]

    Leigh Anne Touhy: He's going to be eighteen in a few months it doesn't make much sense to legally adopt.

    [they all stare at her]

    Sherry: Leigh Ann, is this some sort of white guilt thing?

    Elaine: What would your Daddy say?

    Leigh Anne Touhy: Um... before or after he turns around in his grave? Daddy's been gone five years Elaine. Make matters worse you were at the funeral, remember? You were wearing Chanel and that awful black hat? Look, here's the deal, I don't need y'all to approve my choices alright, but I do ask that you respect them. You have no idea what this boy has been through and if this becomes some running diatribe, I can find overpriced salad a lot closer to home.

    Sherry: Leigh Ann, I'm so sorry, we didn't mean to...

    Elaine: No, we didn't really.

    Beth: I think what you are doing is so great. Opening up your home to him... honey, you are changing that boy's life.

    Leigh Anne Touhy: No, he's changing mine.

    Elaine: [snidely] And that's great for you. But, seriously, Leigh Ann, aren't you worried for Collins? I mean, she's a beautiful white girl, and he's a big, black boy.

    Leigh Anne Touhy: Shame on you.

    [gets up]

    Leigh Anne Touhy: I'm getting this.

    [she leaves]
