While this this “rags to riches” storyline isn’t new in the world of Hollywood, it definitely redefines values that have somewhat been lost in our 21st century society.This film is based on the true story of Michael Oher, who was featured in Michael Lewis’ book The Blind Side: Evolution of the Game.  While the screenwriter of The Blind Side, John Lee Hancock, probably took some artistic liberty to make these factual events more heart stirring, whatever the changes may have been, I believe that The Blind Side still remains true to the reality.After watching the preview, you already know what is going to happen in the movie; however, the movie truly brings to life Michael Oher’s story and goes into depth to show the relationship between Oher and the Touhys.The opening scene of Blind Side shows a playback of Lawrence Taylor snapping Joe Theismann’s leg in 1985.  Leigh Anne Touhy, played by Sandra Bullock, narrates this scene as she talks about the importance of the tackle position in football to the molding of Michael Oher and his astounding protective instincts.Oher was born to a drug-addicted mother, he had over a dozen siblings and was homeless for years.  The Touhy’s took Michael Oher, who is played by Quinton Aaron, under their wings and helped him grow into an incredible athlete.  For me, there were two incredibly moving scenes.  The first was the when Oher told Mrs. Touhy he’s never had his own bed before and the second was when Oher called Mrs. Touhy “Momma” for the first time.At the closing credits, newspaper accounts of young men from Oher’s part of Memphis that were killed by gang violence were flashed on the screen.  There are so many people in this world that are like Michael Oher before he joined the Touhy family.  Where might Micheal Oher be today without the help of the Touhys?So, even though you already know how the story ends, The Blind Side is still worth seeing for both the exceptional acting and the moving story of Michael Oher’s life.  Not only is it just the story of Oher’s life though, but it is also a thought-provoking movie that shows that there is still goodwill in this world despite the violence and hatred we see every day.
