Leaving Behind An Impressive Legacy
A lot of people had a great time watching The Blind Side and its list of fans ranged from the casual movie-goers to the most well-known critics. It did not only make waves at award ceremonies like the Oscars and the Golden Globes, but it was also a major career milestone for Sandra Bullock. Let’s not forget that it broke records at the box office! Can you believe that all of these achievements were made on a relatively low budget of right under $30 million? It raked in way more than that – $309.2 million, if you want to be specific! Thanks to the ginormous profit it made, the movie went on to become the highest grossing sports flick in history!
Almost Like A Painting
For most viewers, the most memorable moment of the film would be the Thanksgiving sequence. The Tuohy family gathered at a crowded table to enjoy a rich meal together. Everything looked ideal down to the turkey bathed in the soft glow of the lights. However, a closer look will reveal something else. If you consider yourself an art nerd, you might have noticed a subtle Easter egg. As Leigh Anne set the turkey on the table, a replica of a famous Norman Rockwell painting called “Freedom from Want” can be seen. This could or could not have been coincidental. Regardless, it was a beautiful moment that captured the essence of family togetherness. Props to the team!
