The Blind Side

The Blind Side, rated PG-13, is a drama based on a true story, directed by John Lee Hancock. The film stars Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates, Tim McGraw, and Quinton Aaron. The movie follows the true story of Michael Oher, an African-American teenager with no home, who is taken in by a rich white family, the Touhys.
When the Touhys take in Michael, "Big Mike", he has an opportunity to reach his full potential. His broken lifestyle begins to get better when he makes the football team, owns his own bed for the first time, becomes part of a loving family. Although Michael is used to facing challenges on the streets, he finds new challenges when he becomes a student at a Christian school and plays for the high school football team.
This movie is an inspirational film that touches the hearts of each member in the audience. The movie was bound to be a huge success (it is number one in the box office this week) because the material is based on a true story and the cast is extremely talented.
The film was put together well. I felt empathetic to each situation that Michael (Quinton Aaron) and Mrs. Touhys (Sandra Bullock) encountered. I would rate this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. Let me know what you think!
