The Blind Side (攻其不備)

I had a chance to watch a movie which was The Blind Side on HBO last night. When I chose this program, I could not stopping watching it. It was because I was so touched by the story and plus I knew the leader actress who is Sandra Bullock won a Academy Award of the best actress in 2010. It made me be interested in this movie and it was definitely worth to pay some time to watch it.

The story is about a high school boy who is Michael Oher and knows little about his family. One day, when Mrs. Touhy( Sandra Bullock) meets him at her daughter's school and she found out he has no place to go, she takes him home and also she gives him home, too. The Touhy family also helps Michael to be a blue-chip football star but he is actually  less about football. They even also welcome him to be a member of the Touhy's family because the family found something just as life-changing.  Especially, it is based on the extraordinary true story plus famous actors and actresses, such as Tim Mcgraw and Kathy Bates.

The true story always draws me a big attention. Moreover, it is so heartwarming. I think Michael is very lucky to meet  kind and generous Touhy couple. I do hope there will be more Michael and Mr. and Mrs Touhy in the world then there will be less unlucky and miserable people and stories to happen.

Glee

I am a big fan of musical dramas and soap operas. There is an interesting musical drama which is Glee on Chanel 45. At first, I did not know what does "Glee" mean and I found out it after looking up the dictionary.
There ares two meanings of it. One is great delight, especially from one's own good fortune or another's misfortune. The other one is a song for men's voices or more parts, usually unaccompanied, of a type popular especially circa 1750-1830. When I watched it, I know why it is named "Glee." It is because there are full of joys and singing during the plot of play.

"Glee"  is usually broadcasting on every Tuesday and it is rebroadcasting on every Saturday morning. I do not really catch every performance; however, I like the story and singing when every time I watch it. All the stories are very close to us such as friendships, schools lives or relationships between children and parents, but some of people may say it is just a musical drama for most of teenagers. I would like to say that it is a good entertainment to watch for relaxing on your free time. I think why I like to watch English series or dramas much; it is because some of them are fun and humorous and some of them are ironic but thoughtful. The best advantage is that I can learn  English, as well, especially listening.
