Oh, time went so quickly, I've been busy last week helping a friend with her grade work and didn't realize how fast the time passed.
Hi! I want to participate in the Your Most Favorite Fictional Character(s) contest which is not an easy thing to do, it's been difficult to choose, I mean, I love many movies for different reasons and I like characters in that context mostly, as a whole, but pick a character for its' own rights is another story.
I want to invite 
Oh, el tiempo pas贸 tan r谩pido, he estado ocupada la semana pasada ayudando a una amiga con su trabajo de grado y no me di cuenta de lo r谩pido que pas贸 el tiempo.
Hola! Quiero participar en el concurso de Tu(s) personaje(s) de ficci贸n m谩s favorito(s) lo cual no es algo f谩cil de hacer, ha sido dif铆cil elegir, es decir, me encantan muchas pel铆culas por diferentes razones y me gustan los personajes en ese contexto sobre todo, como un todo, pero elegir un personaje por derecho propio es otra historia.
Quiero invitar a
There was a race for me choosing this one, in my memory, because all the names went away when I tried to remember my favorite ones and then chose between them. But I managed to choose one character, it's not even a fantastic one, as a fan as I'm of fantastic worlds, the ones that get more to me are the ones deeply grounded in reality or in the possibilities of reality. This is why my favorite character is:
Fue una carrera en mi memoria, porque todos los nombres se me fueron cuando intent茅 recordar mis favoritos y luego elegir entre ellos. Pero logr茅 elegir un personaje, ni siquiera es fant谩stico, como fan谩tica que soy de los mundos fant谩sticos, los que m谩s me llegan son los que est谩n profundamente aterrizados en la realidad o en las posibilidades de la realidad. Por eso mi personaje favorito es:
Leigh Anne Tuohy
Portrayed by the amazing Sandra Bullock (Who also portrays a big part of my favorite characters, she's that great), Leigh is a businesswoman, and interior designer, who loves American football, she and her family are all into sports and love their alma mater. She was a cheerleader, her husband a player, and her children are going the same way.
She has a lifestyle that is usually held by people with very low social consciousness and caring for others. She wasn't like that, she had a very strong character and spirit to get what she want, but what she wanted might be a contract, or change forever the life of a vulnerable kid.
Interpretada por la incre铆ble Sandra Bullock (que tambi茅n interpreta a gran parte de mis personajes favoritos, es as铆 de genial), Leigh es una mujer de negocios y dise帽adora de interiores, a la que le encanta el f煤tbol americano, ella y su familia est谩n metidos en el deporte y aman su alma mater. Ella fue animadora, su marido jugador, y sus hijos van por el mismo camino.
Ella tiene un estilo de vida que suelen tener las personas con muy poca conciencia social y preocupaci贸n por los dem谩s. Ella no era as铆, ten铆a un car谩cter y un esp铆ritu muy fuerte para conseguir lo que quer铆a, pero lo que quer铆a pod铆a ser un contrato, o cambiar para siempre la vida de un ni帽o vulnerable.
The movie is The blind side (2009), and it's about a homeless student, Michael Oher, who doesn't know his father, her mother can't take care of him, and he stays at the school to sleep because he doesn't have a home. He has very bad grades but is a nice kid and is a great football player. He's a very big Black-American teenager, might look a bit scary to get him into your house if you don't know him (we are talking about a place and time with a lot of racism) but what Leigh saw was a kid, with no home, with no one willing to give him a hand because they were scared of him or looked at him as a lost cause just because of his background.
La pel铆cula es The blind side (2009), y trata de un estudiante sin hogar, Michael Oher, que no conoce a su padre, su madre no puede hacerse cargo de 茅l, y se queda en la escuela a dormir porque no tiene casa. Tiene muy malas notas pero es un buen chico y es un gran jugador de f煤tbol. Es un adolescente negro-estadounidense muy grande, puede dar un poco de miedo meterlo en tu casa si no lo conoces (estamos hablando de un lugar y una 茅poca con mucho racismo) pero lo que Leigh vio fue un chico, sin hogar, sin nadie dispuesto a echarle una mano porque le ten铆an miedo o lo miraban como una causa perdida s贸lo por su origen.
Leigh Tuohy decided that she wanted to make the world different for him and she did, she asked him to go home with them one night she saw him walking alone in the rain to pass the night in the gym of the school. Her daughter was a bit confused but accepted him without bad looks and his son was having a great time of his life by teaching Michael how to play.
Leigh Tuohy decidi贸 que quer铆a hacer el mundo diferente para 茅l y lo hizo, le pidi贸 que se fuera a casa con ellos una noche que lo vio caminar solo bajo la lluvia para pasar la noche en el gimnasio de la escuela. Su hija estaba un poco confundida pero lo acept贸 sin malas caras y su hijo se lo estaba pasando en grande ense帽ando a Michael a jugar.
She was very respectful, she forced him to do what he wanted, not what she wanted, she gave him opportunities and made him do his best with them. Once she asked if he liked his nickname, Big Mike, he didn't, just got used to it, so she stopped calling him like that and used his full name instead, Michael, and what a difference in someone's life can make to be heard, he soon learned that he can speak for himself and defend himself with his words.
Era muy respetuosa, le obligaba a hacer lo que 茅l quer铆a, no lo que ella quer铆a, le daba oportunidades y le hac铆a dar lo mejor de s铆 mismo con ellas. Una vez le pregunt贸 si le gustaba su apodo, Big Mike, no le gustaba, simplemente se acostumbr贸 a 茅l, as铆 que ella dej贸 de llamarle as铆 y utiliz贸 su nombre completo en su lugar, Michael, y qu茅 diferencia puede suponer en la vida de alguien ser escuchado, pronto aprendi贸 que puede hablar por s铆 mismo y defenderse con sus palabras.
Leigh got to take Michael from a homeless boy to a graduated and successful football player, because she used her power to make good, not to brag about it. This character was a mom, and not just to her kids but to Michael, and he started to call her that way, even being that old when they meet, because she earned it.
Leigh consigui贸 que Michael pasara de ser un chico sin hogar a un jugador de f煤tbol graduado y con 茅xito, porque utiliz贸 su poder para hacer el bien, no para presumir de ello. Este personaje fue una mam谩, y no s贸lo para sus hijos sino para Michael, y 茅l empez贸 a llamarla as铆, a煤n siendo tan mayor cuando se conocen, porque se lo gan贸.
On their way to grow as a family and Michael to a professional player, many obstacles came into, his grades and people were a big problem, so she step in to give him the support to get his grades up, with tutors and talking to him. The people were other story. They came to talk to Michael, with social services, not asking about how he feels but pointing out how the Touhy were forcing him to play football and choose their team to play with. They told him that he was being used and he believed that for a moment, but Leigh understood were this thoughts might come from and validated them, but explained that wasn't the case and that she wanted him to do what he loved and he was free to join the team he wants, but of course she wants him in their family team, all of them went there and his now family too. It cleared up the doubts and he joined the team because it's were his family goes.
En su camino para crecer como familia y para que Michael se convierta en un jugador profesional, surgieron muchos obst谩culos, sus calificaciones y la gente fueron un gran problema, as铆 que ella intervino para darle el apoyo para subir sus calificaciones, con tutores y hablando con 茅l. La gente era otra historia. Vinieron a hablar con Michael, con los servicios sociales, no le preguntaron c贸mo se sent铆a sino que le se帽alaron c贸mo los Touhy le obligaban a jugar al f煤tbol y a elegir su equipo para jugar. Le dijeron que le estaban utilizando y 茅l lo crey贸 por un momento, pero Leigh entendi贸 de d贸nde pod铆an venir esos pensamientos y los valid贸, pero le explic贸 que no era as铆 y que ella quer铆a que hiciera lo que le gustaba y que era libre de unirse al equipo que quisiera, pero por supuesto que ella lo quer铆a en su equipo familiar, todos iban all铆 y su ahora familia tambi茅n. Eso aclar贸 las dudas y se uni贸 al equipo porque es donde va su familia.
I admire this character because helping a teenager like him and adopting him, fighting against a society that she was deeply into, remember she's an interior designer, wasn't an easy decision, but she made it. She even went to find his real mom so there weren't shadows in their relationship.
Admiro a este personaje porque ayudar a un adolescente como 茅l y adoptarlo, luchando contra una sociedad en la que ella estaba muy metida, recordemos que es dise帽adora de interiores, no fue una decisi贸n f谩cil, pero la tom贸. Incluso fue a buscar a su verdadera madre para que no hubiera sombras en su relaci贸n.
The greatest part about this is that this story is based on the real story of Michael Oher, a professional American football player; Leigh Anne, and Sean Tuohy (her husband) actually exist and adopted him after a time of supporting him and being familiarized with his problematic childhood.
This might not be entirely a fictional character, but the way Sandra Bullock portrayed her is one of the reasons this story got to be so famous and touch so many people despite not being into American football nor knowing who Michael Oher was.
Lo mejor de todo es que esta historia est谩 basada en la historia real de Michael Oher, un jugador profesional de f煤tbol americano; Leigh Anne, y Sean Tuohy (su marido) realmente existen y lo adoptaron despu茅s de un tiempo de apoyarlo y familiarizarse con su problem谩tica infancia.
Puede que no sea del todo un personaje de ficci贸n, pero la forma en que Sandra Bullock la retrat贸 es una de las razones por las que esta historia lleg贸 a ser tan famosa conmover a tanta gente, a pesar de que no estuvieran metidos en el f煤tbol americano ni supieran qui茅n era Michael Oher.
This was my participation, I hope you like her too if you haven't seen the movie... How? Haha go watch it, it's great.
Esta fue mi participaci贸n, espero que les guste tambi茅n si no han visto la pel铆cula... 驴C贸mo? Jaja vayan a verla, es genial.
Espero les haya gustado, hasta la pr贸xima publicaci贸n
Hope you liked it, until the next time
