The Blind side Movie
The “Blind Side” movie is an American movie release in 2009 about an American football player, which storyline is really expected, a rich white American family that “saved” a black poor American boy from life poverty and helps him become a successful and professional person. It is interesting to “take into account” the fact that this movie is one of many others, where it is always a wealthy or successful white family “saving“ a black family or person and not the other way around, like there were not also a lot of rich or successful black families that have helped white poor people too. This situation is just one of the many examples where black people are not treated entirely with equity, where all their good actions and behaviors are hidden; however, all bad situations or mistakes are highlighted.
In the “Blind Side” movie, Michael Oher (the black poor boy) has being from a foster home to another. He was taken away from his mother by the government for being a drug addict and not having a stable job; which also shows the story of an irresponsible mother, that appear not to show much love for their children, as her two sons (including Michael) are from different men whom she does not even remember their names, maybe because her drug status addiction, besides, her house is shown a bit messy and dirty. Now, although this story is not entirely a lie, since there are a lot of drug addict people in the world both white and black and the situations maybe very similar, this movie just presents a neighborhood with only black people living in poverty and being drug addict, no scenes included examples of white or Chinese, ect, people under this conditions. However, today there are a lot of black families that do not belong to a “Ghetto” or live or produce drugs, nevertheless, violent, actually, most of them are loving and gentle people that care about others, work and have their own profession, plus, they achieve these on their own.
Let me rescue, that I do not have anything against white people (most of my real life friends are white) and most of them are also loving and gentle people as the movie states as an example, where the Tuohy family helped Michael to achieve a better education by finishing high school and getting into university, which allow him today to become a successful and rich football player.
A lot of people today are scare in some way or expect very much less from black people. Because they are in some way “ignorant” and expect them to be violent, thieves, drug addict or lazy, that is the reason why black people today have to work the “double” or sometimes “triple” of the rest of people to prove this “deal thinking” wrong and finally be treated with equity and respect as they well deserve. Examples of movies such as “Blind Side”, “Precious”, ect are certainly not helping, because they focus only on the bad side or bad attitudes of some black people, not in the good part. I mean every culture have their bad and good side. What will you think will be the situation if it where the other way around? Lots of bad press, including movies and stories examples of white people.
The only situation that I would like to rescue right now is the fact that it would also be appreciate some examples of movies, stories, ect of black people or families performing such “good heart” acts, like the one appreciated in the movie, because they are a lot. I will also encourage people to learn to develop their own criteria. Both will help to establish a better equity situation between white and black people and maybe also between poor and rich people.
