The Blind Side, which came out in 2009, showed the struggles of a young blank highschooler as he integrated into a more white society. Michael Oher is a very protective and lonesome teenager who, due to his financial problems, lives from place to place without a real home. One of his teachers, Leigh Anne Tuohy, sees Michael after school, walking on a road. When Mrs.Tuohy asks michael if he has a home tonight, Michael confesses he does not, and Mrs.Tuohy graciously takes him in as one of her own. Throughout the movie, Michael learns how to express himself and learn to love those around him. Many movie critics loved the movie and Joe Leydon even described it as, "Uplifting and entertaining feel-good, fact-based sports drama.". The Blind Side scored a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 82% in good reviews from movie goers. When I saw the Blind Side, I was touched by the kindness of other people's actions and inspired me to be more open when talking to people and not initially judging at first glances. The acting, while it showed enough emotion, was not as great as many other movies I have seen, it was well enough to advance the plot and help us understand the context of the movie. I liked the idea of the story and thought it was very heartfelt and definitely can make viewers emotional. However, due to the simplicity of the plot, there were many parts that were not as interesting or engaging in the movie. I enjoyed watching it but I do not feel the need to watch it again or suggest it to others.
