is based on real events until you see the ending. In my impression, the pronouns of black people are: rude, brutal, hopeless, all derogatory words except R&B, but after reading the weakness, it subverted my concept.
First of all, Quinton Aaron, who plays Oher, impressed me, always looking worried, but completely harmless. Secondly, good teachers are important, good coaches are important, and a good family, which seems hard to achieve, but it just happened! Happened to Michael Oher! He was lucky.
Sandra Bullock's performance is remarkable, especially the tears left in their farewell, naturally without any contrived. Love her work.
We have seen his efforts, and so have the teachers. The teachers did not give up on him. In the end, even the most difficult ones were touched by him. Seeing his grades from D to C- to C+ to B, the teachers finally showed a relieved smile.
We've never been short of inspirational movies, because it happens all the time around us, and despite the similarities in the plot, we're all touched. Look at other people's lives, and then look at our own. There is one shot in your lifetime, would you capture it or just let it slip?
Oher's dissertation is simple but profound.
Courage and Glory:
Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach, or your teacher because they make the rules. Maybe they know best but maybe they don't.
It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn't at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up and joining with the other side? I mean, Valley of Death, that's pretty salty stuff.
That's why courage is tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you're doing something. I mean, any fool can have courage.
But honor, that's the real reason you either do something or you don't. It's who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honor and courage and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying; that you should try for courage and hope for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too.
The poem Mike was reading at the time was called The Charge Of The Light Brigade. To commemorate the story of 600 British hussars who risked their lives in the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War, it was written
by Alfred Lord Tennyson. The whole poem is as follows:
The Charge Of The Light Brigade
Half a alliance, half alliance,
half army, half army,
Half alliance onward,
half army onward,
All in the valley of Death
Six
hundred alliance. Six hundred
hussars onward.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Forward, light cavalry!
"Charge for the guns!" he said: Charge
our guns! He said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode
the six hundred.
