'The blindside' is a movie depicts a remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African- American youngster who came from a broken family and live everywhere he thinks warm. However, everything change in a night when he met with the Touhys, a well-to-do white family. This family helps him to fulfill his potential which is to becoming the great football player but at the same time Oher's presence leads them to see some insightful self-discoveries of their own (their blindside). Living in a new world had expose him to many different challenges to overcome. In order to help him have a better life, the Touhys put all their effort in making him feel like home. Giving everything they could even though they dont even know him at first and takes all the risk as they believe in him. Here some trailer from the movie.





This movie reveals the right attitude a human being should be. As a human we should be able to help others no matter what their status or background. If there is anyone like the Touhys out there nowadays, it would be only one in a thousand. Why? Well, can you believe in the outsiders and one more is what if they are from the other race? If you can, why there are still a ton of orphans out there waiting to be adopt? Is it a prove that we are 'kind'? Like a goes saying, 'pat your self and ask your taste'. This movie shows that despite of their race, they still willing to adopted the stranger. It calls 'HUMANITY' which not everyone dare to have. If they do it for their Christianity, why dont we do it for our Islamic values? I supposed that all religious adapt the same values to their followers. There is nothing to be ashamed of when we are helping people. If we want to talk about race, why we should be so racism? We stand on the same earth, we breath in the same air, we bath using the same water sources and we eat what others eat. It all the same and I dont see any tiny reason that we should practice the racism thing. If it just about the standard, then, you should be living in the cave as now is the 21th century and no one should have that shallow minded. It is actually a shame to have such attitude. So, start using your intelligent and not your hatred.

There are 24 soundtrack for 'The Blindside' but the theme song that i choose is the 'Open Your Eyes' by Snow Patrol. This song title is quoted by Michael Oher. This song using the third person point of view shows how Michael suffered but he always believe that no matter how cruel the world to you, it will still be okay somehow maybe not today but it will tomorrow.

"Open Your Eyes" (Snow Patrol)

All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old

The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x4]

Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time

Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]

All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
