Blind Side is a very moving, tear jerker movie! Sandra Bullock portrayed her role beautifully. No wonder she won 3 awards for this picture: 2010 Best Actress - Screen Actors Guild, 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, and 2010 Oscar for best actress! Wow! That is a lot of awards in 1 year! This movie is different than what Sandra usually portrays which is in a comedy.
The movie is about Michael Oher, a homeless, traumatized teen who was taken in by a well to do family. He was offered a second chance at life who grows to become the star athlete and became the first pick at the NFL draft.
Wow, that is very rare to have a rich family take in a homeless boy, let alone a big kid! The family must really be commended that he was nurtured, and given the chance to be educated and become a very successful football player! And the parents and the two children did not care what color his skin was, they were very accommodating and nice to him throughout. He was very protective though of the family. And to think that he started with a very low GPA and ended up with a GPA of 2.5 to get to a university for a football scholarship!!! His IQ was something to be desired, but the family helped him throughout his struggle not only with the football, but also with the schoolwork! And Michael did not even take advantage of the family one bit! He was very appreciative of them!
It was really sad when they had flashbacks of where he came from, on the other side of town that all they know was crime, booze, and drugs. It was really something to have Sandra go to this place and had a confrontation with one of the thugs, really defending his "son, Michael" that he came to love and adore! Wow!! She was really brave to go alone in the other side of town!!! Wait! All I can hear from you is Wow! That is already three times that you said wow!!! Because that seems like an unbelievable story! I wonder how many more like Michael's story is out there? There are really good people out there! They did not even know him, but they went ahead and took him into their house without any fear! The adopted mother was an honest to goodness caring person who was sooo moved by Michael's living. I am really impressed with this family!!!!
This is really one heck of a good story and I am really glad I watched the movie. I will highly recommend watching the movie! A word of advice - bring tissues with you!!!!
