The Blind Side 2009

The good old American true story. The thing about The Blind Side is that it really does follow mostly what happened to this young man. Obviously some things in the movie are glammed up for Hollywood but generally this is actually what happened to Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron). The Blind Side is about a young African American boy that has an extreme talent for sports but not such a hot streak for school. He basically had no parents and grew up in the “ghetto” until this woman Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) has a change of heart and wants to take him in.

For the most part this was a touching and inspiring story. I have no problem with this movie and really did enjoy watching. Not only did this movie check out on the true story area but it is a story that is still continuing today as we speak. The emotions that The Blind Side provokes is something that can not be faked and only makes you feel like a real person. The acting in the movie was pretty good considering who was in it: Tim McGraw, Lily Collins, and Kathy Bates.

I strongly recommend this as a movie to watch. If you can get past the stupid accent that Sandra Bullock has it really is a great movie to go see. As always though go see it for yourself and make an opinion about it yourself.
