The Blind Side

The story of Michael Oher, an homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family.

Not only does “The Blind Side” depict a remarkable true story of Micheal Oher and Leigh Anne Tuohy, but it creates an atmosphere of kindness and compassion. The main plot starts when Mrs. Tuohy spontaneously invites "Big Mike" to stay with her family after she sees him walking alone on a cold, Memphis night. From that instant, his new life began. It shows his struggle of working his way up in society. I loved watching his journey through life and his ability to reach his goal of having a family that adored him as much as he did them. Also, it was nice to watch a sports movie that revealed how much work it takes to succeed. This funny, touching, and emotional film is one of the better sports-inspiration stories you’ll see.
