The Blind Side

The Blind Side is the perfect movie for anyone looking for a heart-warming inspirational film. In the beginning of the trailer, the Tuohy family is shown in their wealthy everyday lives. Soon after, the music changes to a slow and solemn song. This gives the audience a sense of what emotion is coming next. Parts of Michael Oher’s story are revealed, but not enough to give everything away. They show Michael’s character walking through his home in the slums and in the private school where he clearly does not belong. The trailer shows how each person changes throughout the film. It shows bits and pieces of Michael’s “rags to riches” life, and the people who made it possible. Throughout the course of the trailer, the music becomes happier as well as more and more triumphant following very much in line with the scenes being shown. This movie would be very appealing to a middle aged audience. It has such an inspirational message and is a true story. The lessons such as the importance of family, generosity and the idea that anything is possible will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

  1. I love that you didn't steryotype anyone in this response. There was no, "middle-aged people love this because it's mushy and poetic and they're older so they don't like the high graphics and action," because for alot of people that is simply not true. You argued that this is an appealing trailer to anyone because everyone enjoys seeing the underdog win and make it in the real world. You appealed to our sense of humanity not our senses due to age. Well done, and absolutely one of my favorite movies!

  3. I really want to see this movie. The music in the preview matches perfect with what's going on and you can feel the emotion (lol). But seriously, this is a great trailer and has the elements to make someone want to see the movie.
