The Blind Side

The Blind Side “The Blind Side” is a wonderful movie that touches your heart when watching it. A great real story that forces you to dig deep inside your soul. The movie demonstrates what Michael Oher had to overcome in order to achieve his goal of playing American football at a national level. The Tuohy gratefully took in Michael, who was a homeless boy. He was than enrolled into a Christian school and with the help from the teachers and the Tuohy family, Michael qualified to attend Ole Miss and play football.

Even Leigh was nervous about leaving Michael downstairs all by himself. She asks Sean if he thinks Michael will try to steal anything and the next morning says to call the insurance company if he hears a scream. Another issue is the effect the new member will have on the rest of the family. SJ was overjoyed into having an older brother, but Collins had some difficulty adjusted. It was till the scene that she sits with Michael in the library that she accepts Michael as a family member.
However, welcoming someone new into the family can have its rewards. For Michael, he’s life was changed for the better. He gained a bright future thanks to the help of his teachers and family. At the end of the movie when Leigh Ann was talking about a teenage boy
