The Blind Side is an inspirational movie that is based on a true story. The plot of the movie is a young large black man who grew up in the ghetto of Memphis and bounced around from different foster homes until he was placed in a private Christian school to get a better education. The high school football coach pulled stings because he wanted him to play for the team. He was a quiet and the teachers thought he was dumb and a waste of time. Leigh Ann invites “big mike” a place to sleep for the night to get him out of the cold and rain. The family becomes attached to Michael especially Leigh Ann. Michael becomes part of the family and starts practicing with the football team that spring. Leigh Ann is played by Sandra Bullock who does an amazing roll, in my opinion the best movie she has ever done. Quinton Aaron plays the roll of Michael Oher who is a quite black man who has been through a life of tragedy but still sees all the good in people. Michael is an inspiration to people to make something of them selves and to get a better education. Leigh Ann is an inspiration as well because she is a caring woman who put herself out there to make a difference in his life, but he ended up making a difference in her life. The movie is an uplifting movie that touches your heart and opens your eyes to lives that you are not accustomed to. I would have to agree with all the other reviews I’ve read that talk about how it’s a heart touching movie that will make you laugh, cheer and cry. It most definitely is Sandra Bullock’s best movie. The Blind Side is a movie that is worth your time and money. It is a heart touching film that is even worth the horrific movie theater prices.
