The movie is about the black teenager called as big mike . He was being abandoned by
his mother he was longing to the presence of his mother . Big mike was not too good in school
since there is something wrong and what he felt . And after that there is something happened
and that was when Leigh Ann and her husband Sean adopted Michael. At this point there are
many changes in their lives . In addition Leigh Ann and her family became the family of Big
Mike.
As the movie show did the main character called if he was always look sad . The emotion
portrayed from the very beginning was had it was clearly viewed on his face . On his pulse when
he was a child he become separated his mother . Because his mother used drugs. Since it was
visible on his face there was a time that the family of Leigh Ann decided to adopt Big Mike. His
emotions touches the heart of the family . They know that it was hard for big mike to be happy
because there is no one there for him to support on school and even in the sport, also in life.
Expressive behavior, through expressing of behavior we can easily distinguish what the
people might feel in the certain situation. It was portrayed when the game was started it is when
Mrs. Ann had told him about protecting his team in a field like protecting his family . The
eagerness to protect why showed and his expression of his behavior toward in the game.
Empathy , and family relations . On the movie of Leann was clearly shown when she try
and realize how hard are what is the situation of big mike is it is being portrayed when she and
Michael are in the car and Michael get outside to get his clothes . She felt the empathic way of
the situation of big Mike.
I’m conclusion the movie demonstrated, how essential to have a good,loving ,caring and
protected family it is the start of everything on every individual. When our family are very caring
to us we can possessed easily the happiness in our everyday living but on other hand when
there is no one there for us it seems we felt heavy and sad at the same time. And we can be
frustrated in every situation that are happening to us. But in the movie it was genuinely touches
the heart when the family of Ann adopted and sharing the things that they have to Michael, they
totally change the life of Big mike, also big Mike became the biggest part of the changer of their
family as well.
