Michael Oher the main character in The Blind Side starts out being homeless and staying on the streets with nowhere to go. Leigh Tuohy and Sean Tuohy are these wealthy couple with a family consisting of S.J. Tuohy and Collins Tuohy. One night they see Michael walking the streets while it is raining and they decide they will take him home with them for the night and provide a place for him to stay. Eventually they decide to adopt Michael as their step son and raise him to play football during high school and get him into a college to play football. The crew consists of Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, and Lily Collins. Overall I think the acting by each of them was very good and one of the best they have acted in. This makes me want to watch the movie over and over again just because they are really good actors in the movie. Michael is a shy, nice, and caring actor throughout his part in the movie; he is always there for his new family no matter what it is. Leigh throughout the movie is straight to the point, outgoing, and caring as well; she cares so much about Michael. One of the themes to the movie The Blind Side is to care about others and not just about yourself, it won’t hurt you! An example of this is when the Tuohy’s decide to take in Michael when they easily could have not chosen to do this. I do not agree with the critics because they are saying that the movie is more like a fairytale than a real story. Personally I think the movie is one of those movies that motivates you to help others and that it is not all about you in some cases. I strongly think it is worth the money and time to see this movie because like I have been saying it teaches a strong lesson to life and motivates you in so many ways! If you have not seen the movie I suggest that you do!
