Life and Art--Blind Side Movie--Life Embedded in Art

Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses.  She is very versatile and normally plays authentic parts.  I recently watch her in The Proposal in English and in Spanish and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  Recently I saw her take on a new role in The Blind Side, a movie based on real life.

In The Blind Side,  Bullock plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a no-nonsense southern Mom who sees Michael Oher and brings into her family.  At the conclusion of the movie, the still pictures are all about the real Michael Oher and the Tuohys.

The movie is compelling and brings home the plight of young people facing the same challenges Michael Oher did before getting into high school.  Sandra Bullock's portrayal is moving and feels authentic.
