My Review- Blind Side

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2010)

The Blind Side played by Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher, Sandra Bullock as Leigh Ann Tuohy, Tim McGraw as Sean Tuohy and Kathy Bates as Michael's tutor Miss Sue, is a true life film about a young man who had all the odds against him. Michael Oher grew up not knowing his father, and living with a crack head mother. As a young child Michael is taken from his mother only to have to learn how to manage through life on his own. Michael meets the Tuohy's and his life takes a change for the good. Leigh Ann Tuohy, has a heart of gold, and decides to take Michael in as one of her own. This movie shows us that even when the odds are against us, we can overcome the adversities of our lives. This movie was well written and shows one man's struggles and the triumph he received because of one families love for him. This is not your ordinary football movie. This movie is one man's story from poverty and despair to a life of greatness on the field. Michael Oher started out with a less than average education level to becoming a great wide receiver. Leigh Ann Tuohy, a mother of two decides to take in a strange boy who had no one else in his corner. She shows him love and provides him the same benefits she gives her children. Michael for so many years had been passed along in school with no one really caring or showing an interest in him. From the lighting in this movie to the sounds, you get the feel for being at the game. This movie reminds you much of Remember the Titans, where a team faces all types of adversities only to triumph in the end.
