Blind Side: The Blind Side came out in 2009. There are very famous actors in this movie such as Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and Oscar winning Kathy Bates. The “Blind Side” is based off of a true story from the Tuohy family in Memphis, Tennessee. Michael Oher even played himself in the movie. He was brought into their family because he was homeless due to his mother and father. The Tuohy’s were kind enough to open their arms and household up to Michael. At first they were hesitant on this decision. This was both life changing for Michael and the Tuohy’s. Everyone doubted what Michael potential and life would become when they first met him. Everyone tried to do everything that they could to make his life better once they met him and saw how good of a child he actually is. Everyone realized how good of an athlete he is and his size also made this him even better. The only problem that they had was having him so far behind in school from before he was brought into the family which was a huge struggle for them, but both the Tuohy’s and Michael were determined to make whatever they could possible so they put in every effort possible that they could to help him succeed. Michael came through with everything that he ever tried. He is a very inspiring person! Whatever he put his head to he did. He eventually went on to playing for the NFL. His family couldn’t of been more happy for him. This movie is very life changing because it makes you feel like if he went through all of those troubles in his past that you can have the strength to get through yours too. The Movie a 4 out of 5 stars from the movie critics.
