Today's recommendation is the inspirational movie "Weakness" based on Michael Louis's novel "Weakness: The Course of the Race".
The film was directed by John Lee Hancock and starred Sandra Bullock, Tim McGlow, and Quinton Aaron.
At the same time, the film also won Sandra Bullock the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Douban more than 100,000 points of evaluation, still as high as 8.4 points.
Michael Oh, played by Quinton Aaron, is a black man with divorced parents, about 16 years old, but his IQ is only 80, equivalent to that of a 6-year-old child.
His greatest strength should be his bear-like body and superior athletic talent. This also gave the school coach a fancy to him, allowing him to attend Wingate Christian School.
Because of the poverty of the foster family, Michael himself ran away from home and lived on the streets — the first time he left the foster family, it is no known how many times he has left the foster family.
Although Michael scored almost zero points from Koko, his act of picking up trash after a volleyball match brought to Shane Tausy's attention.
During the day, Shane Taussi's son, Little Shane Taussi, greets Michael and the two become friends.
In the evening, when Michael is homeless and living on the street, he is met by the Towsy family, who are driving home. At this time, the kind and aggressive Mrs. Taussi, Played by Sandra Bullock, Played by Lily Anne Taussi, took him home for the night.
The next day, a wealthy white family— the Tawsy family of four: Dad Shane, Mom Leanne, son Shane Jr., daughter Collins – they spent Thanksgiving with Michael.
Liane also took Michael out to buy clothes, but there were very few clothes that Michael could wear.
And when Leanne helped Michael set up a room, Michael said, "I've never had one." ”
Lily Anne: "What?" Room? ”
Michael: "Bed. ”
Life seems to be getting better, and now Michael has a place to live, has his own room and bed, does not have to be afraid of eating people down, and his academic performance has begun to improve.
But things weren't all smooth sailing, and as Michael moved in, it caused Lyanna a lot of problems.
The eyes of friends and family, Michael's education problems and identity issues... This is not about adopting a husky, and with it comes all the problems a person can encounter.
Lyani solves all the problems as if she were her own child, and then the Taussi family finally officially adopts Michael.
Not only that, but Michael also got a driver's license and got a brand new pickup truck.
Just when Michael was driving his brother Shane Jr. to buy a game disc, the two were listening to music and singing in the car, because they were too involved, Michael did not pay attention to the front, and accidentally had a car accident.
At the crucial moment, Michael blocked little Shane with his strong arm, leaving him with only a slight injury.
Later, when Leanne arrived at the scene, Michael blamed herself very much, but Liane did not blame him, which also deepened Michael's relationship with the family.
And when Michael encountered learning difficulties in rugby, Lianne also helped him through the difficulties and gave him the belief to play rugby.
With the help of Lyanna, Michael became famous in the rugby league, and Shane Jr. sent out his video, and Michael suddenly became a player competed for by major colleges.
Just like a miracle, Michael was admitted to the University of Mississippi from a homeless teenager with an IQ of only 80.
But just as everything is moving along the shining light, a tough woman from the Enforcement Division of the National Collegiate Sports Association, with a conversation that makes Michael suspicious of the Taussi family, runs away from home again...
The film is based on the true story of Michael Oher.
In real life, Michael Oher is a very good and excellent rugby player.
Michael Ohr wasn't too excited about adapting his story into a film, but he wanted the film to focus on the technical side and talk a little more about rugby.
"Weakness" is not a story of a sparrow turning into a phoenix and an ugly duckling turning into a swan.
The director's intentions are much more positive than this, he fundamentally believes that Oher is originally a phoenix and a swan, but has serious blind spots, and once these blind spots are eliminated, he can show the best side to the world.
Like the inferior swan in "The Ugly Duckling", it did not become a swan because of self-confidence, but only mistakenly thought it was an ugly duckling, and when the blind spot was eliminated, it found that it was originally a swan.
