 What is your blind side?

The term of blind side is often use in the American football game. Blind side refers to attack or hit on or from the side where the attacked person's view is obstructed. To avoid from being blocked by other players, there must be someone to take care of the blind side to make sure he would not be attack by anyone. That is in the football game. What is about yours? Who takes care of your blind side? Or in opposite, have you ever take care of others blind side? Were you willingly taking care of their blind side, give you all just to protect them? Ask yourself.

Despite the racism, caste and humanity.

When I first watch this movie, I thought that this movie is about being racist between the black and white. No. It is wrong. I feel ashamed to have that thought. This is the wonderful movie about the bond between the human, their awareness to help each other, giving and taking, and loving regardless of their colour. It is also not about the caste. Being fooled if one said caste is everything. In this movie, the Touhys do not make it big deal to take care of Mike (the fact that he is black and use to live in street) and willingly help him without ask anything back in return. They love truly and so good to watch them loving each other and never care of what other people said. They do not answer to people who are always questioning the status of Mike. I do not see racism or caste in Leigh Anne dictionary but I do see her humanity. She is so true with her feeling and straightforward in her very opinion.  This woman is an inspiration, yes she is.
