Blind Side Movie

Sports Movies. I know what you're probably thinking, Oh great another "inspirational" sports flick where the coach singles out a special player and helps them realize their potential. Or maybe the coach takes that team and makes them an unstoppable winning machine. Well get that out of your head. This is a story of a different kind. Although it does have the flair of football as well.

The Blind Side movie is inspired by the life of Michael Oher (like the paddle of a boat) and his unbelievable story. As a homeless teenager from a broken home and rough childhood Michael floats around and ends up in a private school where the faculty are not sure what to do with him because of a lack of educational records. Quickly labeled quiet and slow he starts going through the motions and is soon singled out by the Touhy family, a very well-to-do family.

After years of nobody listening to him and now with people in his corner to help him see what he has to offer Michael soon comes out of his shell. Micheal Oher played by Quinton Aaron is a Larger than life character that is sure to win your heart over.

Leigh Anne and Sean Touhy played by Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw decide to adopt Michael and help him through school. Michael is now faced with a completely different set of challenges. Succeeding in school against people who don't believe in him. Learning how to play together on a team, and adjusting to dynamics in a family are just a few of these.

With "ghosts' from his past trying to show him that he's no better than anyone else and people in the present challenging his beliefs in his new family Michael must search with in himself to figure out what he believes. Kathy Bates also shares the screen at times as Micheal's tutor, Kathy brings her wit and charm that we all know with her to the story as well.

This film WILL touch your heart, Believe me. As this film is rated pg-13 for brief violence, drug and sexual references I do believe it is a film the family can enjoy.

Michael Oher is now an offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, Micheal's story shows you the dreams are possible... Compliments from yours friends at Mountain View Video.
