The Blind Side was an interesting and heartwarming movie which will have you laughing at times you wouldn’t expect and potentially bringing a tear to your eye at others.
It’s an amazing story which starts with an education on football.
It’s no doubt a horrifying beginning for Joe Theismann. They show the play which turned out to be the last play of his career. It started out as a normal flea flicker but unfortunately since he was playing those ravenous New York Giants defenses of the late 80s and early 90s it turns out to be anything but normal.
It’s the play where he eludes Carl Banks and Lawrence Taylor ends up taking him down where his lower leg both the tibia and fibula are shattered. He would never play football again.
It’s really the story of this white family who takes in this young black boy who has been basically wandering around with noone to care for him. He’s gone from foster home to foster home since his mom’s a drug addict. He’s been a ward of the state for quite a while.
At one point he reveals to his new mom he’s never had his own bed.
At first he is carrying around this plastic bag with a T-shirt in it. He has the clothes on his back and this one T-shirt as he walks into this laundromat. He turns on the water in the sink to wash off his shirt. A fat black woman is also there doing her laundry and gives him this look followed by a slight nod. She leaves her washer running and walks out the front door to do something.
He takes the hint and throws his shirt in with her laundry.
Talk about dire straits. You know you’re in trouble when you don’t have a quarter to insert into the washing machines.
But things are looking up because this woman LeAnn takes pity on him. He becomes a regular part of her family and has a new brother and sister. He becomes very protective of them and they get him to start playing football.
He’s very good at it after some prodding and a talking to from Leann.
She knows he tested 98th percentile for his protective instincts. So she uses this to get the best out of him.
The kids are taking some flack at school from the other students because of this unusual arrangement. But they stick together and stand by Michael. He learns how to play the game and becomes very skilled. He’s getting recruited by all the biggest SEC schools.
When it comes time to make his decision he chooses the family school of Ole Miss.
An NCAA investigator wants to question him because of his decision.
Things get a little crazy so runs out searching for his mom again just like he did when he was younger. There’s a shootout, a confrontation between LeAnn and the black guys who were shooting, and a heartwarming finish.
I thought it would be too much of a feel good movie for me but I definitely enjoyed it and if you haven’t yet seen get out there and watch it right away. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
