The Synopsis:

The Blind Side depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

The Review

The Blind side is a family orientated movie that is both heartwarming and interesting. It is interesting to see that a white family could treat a total stranger like their own and it is even more bizarre that the stranger is an almost 7 foot tall black male. The Touhys are setting an incredible example towards everyone that watches the movie, especially the character of Leigh Ann Touhy which was played by academy award winner Sandra Bullock. Although at the beginning husband and father, Sean Touhy and daughter Collins Touhy seemed reluctant to accept Michael Oher as a part of the family but Leigh Ann is a very persistent and determined woman, she looks at Michael as a son at the same time she was able to get Michael and her biological son Sean Touhy Junior (SJ) to have this great bond developed between them, and considered him as just another human being that should be given the same opportunity just like any other person and develop to his full potential. Overall The Blind Side gives awareness to the audiences that love is what the world needs right now. Less hating, makes the world a much better place.
