The blind side

Watched this movie on HBO this evening, and seriously, it is very inspiring..its call....

THE BLIND SIDE 



It is about how a lady name Leigh Ann and her family helped Michael aka Big Mike through his struggled life. In the end , Michael became a very successful footballer thanks to the encouragement and trust of Leigh Ann's family towards him. 

If you want to know the full story plot, please google it and read it on Wikipedia. It is a true story by the way and an award winning movie. The reason why this story touched me is because there is indeed very passionate and kind people out there in this world who are willing to help a total stranger. A total stranger who became part of the family. 

I think the movie was very well directed and Sandra Bullock really deserved an Academy Awards for her acting in this movie. I really really love this Leigh Ann character because she is so tough and strong, yet kind in side. The fact that it is a true story makes it even inspiring because you know, people always built this protective wall from strangers because of the ruthless reality. How this Michael character had changed Leigh Ann's family and how kind her family is towards him despite how little they know about him, showed that there are still kindness in this world, there are still, love. 

You know today, we came accross WWF booth where they are finding for people to support their campaign. It was WWF, so we don't think its a spoof and we supported it. And surprisingly, we were their first customers even though they had been there since morning. ( It was almost 5pm at that time ). They said, people are still not being supportive towards the environment conservation these days despite all the natural disasters that were occurring around the world. 

The moral of the story is, show some kindness in the world. Do something to make a different, even though it is the least that we can do. =) 

p/s Do watch 'The Blind Side'!! It is really very touching!
