What Is Sandra Bullock's Role In The Blind Side

Sandra Bullock plays a very dominant role in both The Proposal and The Blind Side. Her strong female character is great in these movies, to help show the conflict within relationships and family. In Anne Fletcher’s movie The Proposal she tells a story of a New York editor and her assistant. The main character, Sandra Bullock, is a Canadian immigrant who is being deported.

In contrast, in The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock, as well as the other actors fit in the roles very well. The southern accents and the strong personalities made for a believable story. It kept me entertained and kept me “choking up, chuckling with warm laughter… and so gratified” as A. O Scott
