The Blind Side Inspires

Today is an autumn Sunday, which for most people means one thing: Football. The greatest football film of all time, in my opinion, is The Blind Side. This film is not only a treat for football lovers, but for those who don't have a particular interest in football as well. My mother is not a huge fan of football but she adores this film.

The Blind Side is based off of a book titled The Blind Side: The Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. The film revolves around the true story of Michael Oher, the current offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. As a child, Oher was taken away from his alcoholic mother and put into various foster homes, many of which he ran away from. At the age of 17, Oher met the Touhy's, a wealthy suburban family that took him in. He became part of their family and was encouraged to join the school's football team. Although he struggled at first, he eventually became the star of the team, attracting numerous recruiters for college teams.

The acting is truly great in this film. LeAnne Touhy's character, portrayed by Sandra Bullock, one of my favorite actresses, is hilarious. She is so bold and confident. Bullock's performance is like the cherry on top of this film. My next favorite character is S.J., portrayed by Jae Head. Now here's a character that puts a smile on your face every time you see him on the screen. He is just hilarious.

Overall, this movie, as cliche as it may sound, is like a rollercoaster ride. It makes you smile, it makes you cry, it makes you burst out in laughter. It is also a film that really makes me think about all the things I take for granted, and how I should really be more appreciative of everything that I have. The amount of goodwill that the Touhys have is truly inspiring. The Blind Side is a spectacular film that will put a smile on your face.
