In the promotion of “The Blind Side” you hear the names Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw most often. However, Quinton Aaron is the true star of “The Blind Side”. “The Blind Side” is the true story of professional football player Michael Oher, who is currently in his rookie year in the NFL. The story of Michael Oher is amazing and inspirational. Oher has gone from being in the shadows of the streets to the spotlight of America’s most popular sport.
Quinton Aaron, who plays Michael Oher in the film, does a brilliant job of making Michael Oher’s story come to life on the big screen. Aaron’s nonverbal communications in “The Blind Side” makes you sympathize with his character. The words Oher speak are few and far apart, especially in the beginning of the movie. This is a part of what makes “The Blind Side” and more specifically Quinton Aaron’s acting so good; the Michael Oher character does not need much vocalization.
These days acting is a lost art. Good acting has been compensated with fancy scenery and flashy special effects. This isn’t the case with “The Blind Side” though. The film is a must see just for the great acting of Quinton Aaron. On a five star scale I would give “The Blind Side” a four-and-a-half. The only thing that prevents me from giving the movie a five is the fact the film seem to drag on at certain parts.
