Synopsis: Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, is 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.
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron, Lily Collins, Ray McKinnon
Directed by: John Lee Hancock
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Definitely one of the best films watched in 2009. Sandra Bullock played one of her best roles in her professional career, a role worth of a Golden Globe or/and Oscar Award. The Blind Side is based on a true story, supported with such an amazing cast and a pretty strong plot. The film is an inspirational story about the life of Michael Oher, an offensive lineman who plays for the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL. Being for 17 years in foster care with many different foster parents, Michael runs away from his latest foster home. One of his foster parents enrolls him in a Christian School and convinces his coach that he's a great sport guy and would help him on the School football team. Few days later, Michael meets Sean and they immediately become good friends. After a cultural activity after school, Sean's mother, Leigh Anne Tuohy - an important interior designer - sees Michael walking alone on the street in the middle of a rainy night and decides to take him home. After few events, Leigh Anne starts helping Michael to reach his potential and getting him more and more involved with her family. Michael starts achieving some success on school and the field, having some impressive moments in games that caught the attention of several coaches across the country. The film ends with some scenes of the real Michael Oher and his adopted family, at the 2009 NFL draft, showing Michael Oher being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.
A truly inspiring and touching film with such an amazing role performance played by Sandra Bullock. Totally recommended!

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
his movie is AMAZING! I love that it was told through the perspective of the mother. Without her help Michael Oher wouldn't be where he is today. It was Leigh Anne who reached out to him and got him where he is. I loved it!
I've heard this is such a good movie - I can't wait to watch it!
