The Blind Side

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2012)

To me, The Blind Side is an amazing movie. It has a great meaning behind it. Michael was a kid from the projects and he didn't have the best childhood. His mom had gotten into trouble, so his brother and him were taken away from her. Michael was living with someone and the wife didn't want him living their anymore. Michael ended up moving out into the world all alone. He went to a very good school but he didn't have the best education background so he was doing poor at school. Leigh Anne Tuohy's son S.J. went to school with Michael. She saw that he wasn't in the best of place so she and her family took him in one night. Leigh Anne and Sean, her husband, asked Michael if he wanted to be apart of their family, so they adopted him. The Tuohy family was very kind to Michael. They helped him with his schooling and he even got to play football during his senior year. He was an amazing football player and got many scholarships for college. He picked to go to the college that all of the Tuohy's loved! This movie has a great meaning behind it. Michael Oher, Quinton Arron in real life, was from the projects. He didn't have a great childhood, but look at him now. He was drafted 23rd to the Baltimore Ravens. This is a great movie that I think everyone should take the time to watch!
