I chose an
interview conducted with Sandra Bullock regarding her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy
in The Blind Side. Leigh Anne Tuohy’s character exemplified the
most selfless, caring person and needed an actress to fulfill these traits
above and beyond. Sandra Bullock did
just so and completely captured the hearts of the audience by becoming Leigh
Anne Tuohy in the movie.
This
interview remained around the topic of the movie entirely with a slight
deviation towards the end for just a minute, speaking of her husband and his
work. I believe the main idea of the
interview was to fully understand the task of becoming Leigh Anne Tuohy and
understanding what emotions were required to become this character. The interviewer said several times about how
great of a role it was and how heart wrenching the movie was because of its
accuracy. The questions asked revolved
around the impact of the movie and the character on Sandra Bullock herself, as
well as the audience. The interviewer specifically says how she always believed
Sandra Bullock was a “dynamo” and had great energy. I believe Sandra Bullock
wanted to remain selfless and humble in the interview while the interviewer
praised the work of Bullock as a whole and especially in the movie. Sandra Bullock repeated several times how she
did not know how she was going to fill the shoes of Leigh Anne Tuohy because
she did not understand how Leigh Anne was how she was. Sandra said how she would not have let what
happened happen personally but was amazed that Leigh Anne Tuohy was able to. I
have always viewed Sandra Bullock as an energetic and sincere actress. This
interview concreted my view of her as a wonderful actress. Her sincerity throughout the interview amazed
me. The tone of her voice while she
spoke about the real people of Michael Oher and Leigh Anne Tuohy exemplified
her love and passion of the actual story and making the movie real. From the interview I could really tell Sandra
was thankful she took on this role after saying “no” several times before
agreeing to the job. The passion in her face as she spoke of the steps to
learning how to be Leigh Anne Tuohy spoke wonders of Sandra Bullock as an
actress. She did not simply put half of
her effort into this movie, but as she said, she spent her entire self on the
movie and walked away knowing she spent herself. She explained that as she
walked away she did not know if she did enough but she knew she at the very
least spent herself.
The Blind Side exemplifies a magnificent
true story and the passion from the actors really added to the movie as a
whole. Sandra Bullock’s energy far
surpassed all expectations of her character.
Her passion for the story was greatly exemplified throughout the entire
story and how she portrayed herself as Leigh Anne Tuohy. This interview portrays Sandra Bullock as the
great woman and actress she is.
