Despite having watched this movie 3 times, it still amazes me what love and acceptance can do for people. The Blind Side is a very inspirational story. We see how a homeless teen who knows the streets and projects of Memphis is taken in by a well – to – do family and how his life is transformed. Leigh Anne Tuohy, played by Sandra Bullock, takes Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) into her home despite knowing very little about his world. Just as much as Michael’s life is changed, so the Tuohy’s lives are changed too as they find a son and a brother. What makes The Blind Side is uplifting is that it is a real-life true story of family. The fact that people can still open their homes to strangers and believe in them is incredible – A God thing. We see the contrasting world’s that people live in from the homeless and life in the projects to the cushy, comfortable life of the suburbs. I really liked how the Tuohys accept Michael and find his strength in “defensive instincts”. This is not only used to encourage his American football, but the analogy is something he can relate to. How precious, to get the best out of him in sport. His education improves as well. It’s such a great movie to watch. By Molly Manhanga
