The Blind Side story is the true story of 2009 Baltimore Ravens Player Michael Oher, and his remarkable escape from oblivion with the love and care of a rich white family in Memphis, Tennessee.

Michael Oher’s greatness, was first evident in his size and athletic ability and then in his courage to forget and move forward. Michael Oher, a kid who struggled with basic study skills and education, but scored a 98% in protective instincts. A tribute to his lifestyle and his ability to survive homelessness with little more than the shirt on his back, a pain on his face that couldn’t be explained.

Sandra Bullock plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, she deserves to be nominated for the best actress of the year for her performance in The Blind Side. Sandra Bullock  is strong and she is funny and she is also outstanding at hiding the tears she sheds throughout the movie as her persona won’t allow her to be seen crying. No scene was more poigniant than the one where she makes a bedroom for Michael in her beautiful home with a chipperness that you would expect from a spunky Tennessee mother. Michael says, “I’ve never had one of these before.” she replies, “What, a room?” “No, a bed.” Michael says. She looks at him, stoned faced, gives a quick nod and exits the room, enters the bathroom, locks the door and although we don’t see it, we know exactly what she’s doing. 

The Blind Side is a testament to what life is all about. The Tuohy families link to Michael Oher may have been a rare occurence, and that’s why there’s a movie about it, but if we all looked out for each other a little more, despite color prejudices, despite class prejudices and just showed a little love and extended a helping hand when we could, the world would be a better place.
