Sandra the Cow Girl

If you’re a Sandra Bullock fan, chances are you’re probably a little psyched about her new western film “The Blind Side”. She’s a talented actress who seems a lot more grounded than most in Hollywood. She’s starred in a wide range of roles, garnered numerous accolades, and even dabbled in charity work. Her new film provides her with yet another unique character to add to her impressive resume.
While I’ve only seen the trailer, and this is purely speculative on my part, Sandra’s new film focuses on her unconventional relationship with a raging wild black buck. From the 3 minute clip that I saw, Bullock is able to bring civility to an otherwise untamable stallion, without the aid of a lasso, and in an incredibly ultra original plot, welcomes this man-beast into her heart and home.
Look I know it’s got to be pretty hard for actors of color to get quality roles, but seriously hasn’t this storyline been regurgitated enough. Right now I can count three films from the top of my head (remember “Radio” & “Mr. Holland’s Opus”) “where the black protagonist is cognitively inept, and in dire need of a helping white hand to help him realize his woefully low expectations, and from the brief few minutes of the trailer it looks as though just holding a knife and fork are accomplishments for this young buck.
