In most pictures Holmes has been characterized as austere with a brilliant mind for detail, Watson the minor character acting as the moral compass. In this movie we see everything differently. The one person who has fooled Holmes re-enters his life and she has him befuddled. Romance and Holmes have been strangers for many years. Watson is breaking away their long time companionship because he too has romance in his life. We see Watson in a whole new light as an sharp and physical person more involved in the Holmes mysteries. Add to this mix a devilish madman and you have a great story.
If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes in word, television and movies you have to see this adventure.
A rich, strong and straight forward southern woman takes a huge seemly slow homeless boy into her home and family. All the makings for a tragic story. Add to it that the family is white and the boy is black, it would seem to be very dark and moody but that is not this story.
Based on a true story, The Blind Side is a movie you do not want to miss. Compassion and hope overcome the dark side of life.
