The Blind Side is an inspirational film that was a huge success. It is based on a true story of, Michael Oher “Big Mike”, a professional football player for the Baltimore Ravens now. Michael Oher was an teenage African-American boy who had nowhere to live until Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy let him stay in their house. He didn’t have much schooling and Leigh Anne made sure he got a good education once he was living with them. The family saw that Big Mike was very interested in football, so the family helps him pursue his dream to become a football player. He tries for an NCAA Division 1 scholarship and wants to pursue a football career. The movie is an inspirational, fun-loving film that was a huge hit. Sandra Bullock was extraordinary in the film. She played the character perfect and there was no complaints about her from critics. Quinton Aaron, who play Michael Oher executed his part very well and made you feel pain about what his character went through. Jae Head played S.J. Tuohy, Michael’s “brother”, who helped Oher succeed in his football career. He played the part perfectly; he was a goofball and just a fun-loving character. Something to take away from the film is even if you start out with nothing doesn’t mean you can’t achieve greatness. Also, nothing is impossible if you believe you can do something you love. I completely agree with the critics. All the reviews I saw were good and this movie was very good and inspirational. I would say it is worth your time and money, it is great for the whole family and has a great story to tell.
