The Blind Side, the movie that won Sandra Bullock an Academy Award as best actress, is now out on DVD.
Author Michael Lewis covers the last thirty or forty years of football history and explains the value of the left tackle, who guards the quarterback on his “blind side.”
In addition to his explanation of this aspect of football strategy, he interlaces the touching story of Michael Oher. Michael is a disadvantaged teenager who attends the same school as the daughter of Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy. The film chronicles the challenges faced by the Tuohys, Michael, and his tutor, Kathy Bates. With insight and sensitivity, they encourage Michael to develop to his full potential.
The sympathetic, caring approach by Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy lead to surprising results and an amazing story.
Whether you’re interested in football, southern culture or just love a good story, don’t miss
The Blind Side.
