So I decided to read Elizabeth's review on The Blind Side, a movie. There is something that didn't rub well when I read it. It was her main reason on why you should watch the movie. I quote, "Last but not least, actually, this could very well be the main reason to watch the film: the little boy, Sean Tuohy, actor Jae Head. Oh wow, did this kid have character. I laughed at just about every scene he was in. This little kid had absolute perfect comedic timing. His character was well written and he delivered every line flawlessly and hilariously."
I disagree that he should be the main reason you watch this movie. If that is the main reason then you are missing the whole point. The movie isn't purely to get a laugh out of you and analyze Sean's character. This movie is so much more. If you are going to use your time to watch this movie then you need to get something more out of it, not because it is necessary for this movie, but because this movie offers so much more.
It is every one's dream to be found and given a way of life that leads to success. We all want the big break and dough to come rushing in. In a way we all want to be like Sandra Bullock the one making the difference because life is already where we want to be, but at first we must be Big Mike where he is lost, searching and trying to find himself or somewhere he can be found. Most of all this movie shows how important it is to have family. No matter how much we fight with them or don't get agree with them, they do a lot for us. Parents pay for your food, gas, clothes, diapers, must I go on? Siblings help you get away with sneaking out and give you company when you are bored. Family gets us places.
In closing Elizabeth needs to realize that Sean is not the main reason to see this movie. Even though Sean is a hilarious charter, he is not the one we should be mainly focusing on. He is a character that adds, but doesn't create. He is one that helps us get places, but isn't the one driving. So when you go to see this movie, please do not with the intent that Elizabeth recommended. Go because this movie is a reflection of ourselves in each character or a reflection of what we all wish to be.

Yeah, it was kind of what popped into my head at the moment...Wrong choice of words. His character wasn't the reason to watch the movie, what I was meaning more that he was in terms of acting, could possibly have done one of the best jobs, especially for being so young, since I had just said that I had thought that the acting and characters had made the movie different from other movies of that genre. The point of my review wasn't entirely to review how great the movie's story was, but to contrast my original assumptions of the film with my thoughts after having watched it. I didn't really think how people would see it and now I realize it was the wrong choice of words. Thanks for that and good post, Elise. You did a great job at describing the meaning of the film.
