When at the cinema, "The Blind Side" will not disappoint you - a must to see! This morning I was fortunate to go to a preview of what transpired to be a most captivating film.
It's based on a remarkable true story of Michael Oher(Baltimore Ravens) who contributes to the evolution of American football due to his offensive left tackle. It touches so many issues: growing up in the inner city housing projects, being homeless, coming from a broken home, having a mother who is a drug addict, accepting an absentee father, the intervention of family services and the impact of doing the foster homes circuit!
It touched heart strings for me, even though it proved a well paced film with a solid storyline to follow. Hard to imagine someone not having a bed until their late teens. Hard to witness someone bumping into a brother not seen since a toddler. Trust, honour and courage are thought provoking aspects of this story.
I felt so much better for watching this movie. I wouldn't normally go to see a film about American Football, even though I lean towards films based on a true story.
Do make time to see "The Blind Side" with its' excellent choice of cast. I am not on commission, honest!
This film I score 9 (10 is high)
