The Blind Side directed by John Lee Hancock. Is a family sports drama film. This film is about a young man taken in by the Tuohy family and introduced to the sport of football. I liked the movie because it showed the caring side of a family and it shows how good people can actually be. I am going to comment on the aspects of costumes,settings and dialogue

The Blind Side is a movie about the struggles of Michael Oher and the story of how he is taken in by the Tuohy family. Michael came from Hurt village a bad part of town where he was taken away from his mother. When the Tuohy family took him in the gave him a home and an education at high school and later college. Michael took up football in high school and was later talked to by college football teams until he made his final college choice.

The same man from hurt village who were insulting Leigh Anne he asked Michael questions about his sisters that make him angry and uncomfortable. He tries to leave and he says one more thing which results in Michael attacking him and almost everyone in the house the dialogue was used as a way to see more flashbacks into Michael's past without Michael having to say it himself. The dialogue of the film is used in a good way it was used for positive and negative impact on characters and the dialogue changed along with the characters throughout the film. Leigh Anne’s dialogue at the start of the film made her out to be a harsh character but by the end her tone and dialogue shows a deep caring

    The book had part of its plot based on Michael’s life, and the other on the growth of the game and left tackle. The talk about how Jose theismans arm was broken in two places because hs left tackle did not protect his blind side, and maybe his am breaking in two hinted to the 2 story lines. The movie simply merged Michael’s poor past into football and turned him into a star to cater to a wider audience and be a feel good inspirational movie, while the book gave insight on actual football, the growth of the game, and Michael Oher’s upbringing. In the movie, they completely removed Michael’s life in hurt village, or explain how the projects came to become hurt village. They also took out many of the minor characters like Zach, and all the other little details like how Michael wanted to play basketball like M.J., and how his father went to prison. They also never brought up any details about Oher’s brothers and sisters in the movie. As you can see, they left out major chunks of the book from the movie, completely removing the end of it which talked about his life before meeting the…

    If you were put in charge of a movie production about a person with blindness, what type of perceptions would you want to make sure are portrayed in your movie? What myths could you debunk? What stereotypes would you want to make sure to avoid? The importance of using their other senses to “see” what the world looks like. Those of us who can see are not aware of the importance of smell, and touch. We see with our eyes, while blind people see with their hands, ears, nose, etc. Blind people are not always unable to see everything. They can feel when the lights go lower, or the sun shines…

    The movie of The Blind Side attempted to mimic the book as much as possible, however there were noticeable choices that the director made that changed the presentation of the movie compared to the picture that the book created. One of the main choices was to cut out a lot of the football facts that were presented in the book. Throughout the book, numerous chapters were dedicated to talking about the history of the importance of the left tackle and other players in the game, but in the movie, almost all of those scenes were cut out. This made the movie move faster unlike the book which was slow moving at times.…

    Setting say many things, but it also reveals many things, told and untold. It will tell you who has been in it and around it by a mere footprint, but it will also tell you if somebody is destined to be nice or mean by its location. Gene and Finny are destined to be nice and charming because they live in the south, while somebody that is from the east may not be so fortunate. Setting reveals a lot about people and events also, like when Gene wrestled one of his friends into the creek, the winter setting told the readers the water was freezing, and that was the reason they got out so quickly. Sometimes a setting will contrast with what is happening creating an interesting situation, usually it complements the situation.…

    Communication is a fundamental part of working in a professional environment. Without proper communication, nothing will get done. Outside the Lens is a very collaborative and communicative company as is the work the students the students do at Muirlands, so I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to have good communication and understanding. It’s also important to self-advocate for yourself otherwise you won’t accomplish anything you want. My mentor has always left room for self-advocacy by telling me to let him know if there was anything specific I wanted to learn, or focus on. I’ve felt confident enough to speak up whenever there’s something I want and that’s helped me out while working on my project. While editing I decided I needed more…

    The poem I have chosen is “The Road Not Taken,” written by Robert Frost. The reason I chose this poem is because I believe this poem has stood out from the others. While reading the poem, the lyrics drew my attention. It made me realize that this poem is real, an everyday thing. “ The Road Not Taken,” is about a person and how the choice they have made has affected their life. Choices affect you and all your other decisions that you may face later on in life. This made me feel like everything has a purpose. You set your own choices and you decide where the path will take you. I chose “The Road Not Taken,” because it is truly based on human life. Every human has come to a place where they have more than one choice and they don’t know what…

    Michael was born into a bad situation to begin with; his mother was a crack addict. The neighborhood was known as a “broken windows” neighborhood, crime rate high and a lack of police presence. No one ever gave Michael a chance or believed in him until he met the Tuohy family, who changed his life. The plan that I have thought of for Michael is for him to continue living with the Tuohy family, but get in touch with his siblings. He needs to know his biological family. Sorting and organizing his life events in different factors, the majority of them are psychological factors, which should result with him seeing a counselor to relieve some of his life’s…
