The Blind Side 攻其不備

電影中的問題其實在白人主宰(雖說歐巴馬先生現在是總統)的社會當中，層出不窮，而讓人看了最令人覺得深刻的是Micheal剛進學校的時候寫的一首詩，是一首關於白色高牆的詩:

"I look and I see white everywhere. 


White walls, white floors and a lot of white people. 


The teachers do not know , I have no idea of anything they are talking about.


 I do not want to listen to anyone especially the teachers. 


They are giving homeworks and expecting me to do the problems on my own. 


I have never done homework in my life. 


I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror and say " this is not MIcheal Oher."  "

看到這裡差點沒掉下眼淚。

而另一首和勇氣有關的文章，在片中他的靈感是來自於The Charge of the Light Brigade這首詩:


"Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake. 
But you’re not supposed to question adults, or your coach, or your teacher, because they made the rules. Maybe they know best. Maybe they don’t. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Then at least one of the six hundred died thinking about giving up and joining the other side?
 I mean, Valley of Death, that’s pretty salty stuff. That’s why I say courage is tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you don’t even know why you’re doing something. 
I mean, any fool can have courage. But honor, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you are, or maybe who you want to be. 
If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that’s pretty good. I think that’s what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage, and try for honor. And maybe even pray the people who’re telling you have some too."


雖然在台灣種族的問題相對比較之下沒那麼嚴重，但是這樣的故事還是撼動人心。


看了之後影像一直不停地在我腦海中穿梭著，內心一直不停地感動著。


而那篇關於勇氣的文章替現在的我打了一針強心劑。
