The Critical Analysis of The Blind-Side - Movie Review Example

Michael is shown as a big black kid from Memphis Tennessee. He is leading a troubled and miserable life. His dad’s dead and his mom didn’t bother about him. He had no clue where his future was taking. Things turn around for him when he bumps into Leigh Ann. She takes him and for the first time, Michael finds himself amidst normal things – for instance, a house, having food to eat, a bed to sleep and some ray of hope for his future. The stirking contrast shown between the lives led by Leigh’s family and Michael stirred very strong emotions in me.

The ground reality of the divisions in our society between the upper echelons and the lower echelons could not help but make me feel bad for the state of poor Michael. He did nothing to deserve the kind of childhood and life he was leading. Unfortunately, he is just a depiction and fictitious character but there are many such cases out there that are malnutrition, with no home to stay and with no hope for future. The plight of those kids stood before me as Michael maneuvered his way into the track of the movie.

It was heart-breaking to know the reality but even worse was inkling in the back of my mind that Michael is just a character and there are many others out there who literally go through this every day. You can’t help but wonder why some people are blessed with everything in the world (Ann’s family) while some don’t even have a roof above them. The disparity in a society raised a lot of questions in my mind. (The Blind-Side Rotten Tomatoes) What financial gain did she gain in bringing him down?

What was her youth like? Clearly, there are so many rich people out there but not everyone bothers to offer shelter to passersby in their house. What drove Leigh Ann to such an extent? There are such potholes in the track that need to make sense in the movie.
