I just saw it this afternoon...
and it's a great movie. Michael Oher has led an extraordinary life in just 22 years. The movie doesn't try to exaggerate too much. The events just speak for themselves.
The movie also tackles issues of race, poverty, education and sports, but never seems to beat you over the head with anything.
Finally, the acting is spot on. Quinton Aaron (who playes Oher) doesn't say a whole lot, but he doesn't need to. He plays the gentle giant well. Also, Tim McGraw comes off as if he's been acting for years. But Sandra Bullock steals the show. If there's any chance in her career she'll get an Oscar season nod it's this movie. She's absolutely fantastic. She's the strong mother figure, but isn't a total bitch or super mom. She has all of the same fears and concerns anyone would have. But she'll stand up to anyone who tried to hurt her son.
So, basically you know how threads like this go. Did anyone else see it? What did you think?
