The Blind Side has got to be one of the best pictures of 2009!
Sandra Bullocks performance was extraordinary, a definite Oscar contender! In fact this was Sandra Bullocks best performance ever!
Michael Ohr is a homeless African American boy who has no education and lives on the streets.
Each night Micheal goes back and forth in between staying at the laundry mat and what ever else is available to him.
One Night Micheal meets the Tuohy family, who out of the kindness of their hearts offer him a place for the night.
Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) takes it upon herself to look after Micheal and discover his past in order to find out how he ended up on the streets, and as she learns more about Micheal the more she cares for him. It's really touching how the Tuohy family reach out to Micheal and treat him as if he were always a part of their family.
The Tuohy's offer Micheal a permanent place to stay, take care of him, buy him new clothes and offer Micheal a place in their family.
Micheal is placed into the christian school that the Tuohy kids attend and at first has a rough start, and most of the teachers don't even want to give him the time of day since theirs is a school only for the best of the best and don't believe that Micheal has what it takes to attend.
However it turns out that Micheal just might have what it takes, not only in his schooling but in his athletic skills as well. Micheal try's out for the School football team and is a bit rough at first but after some practice becomes one of the best players on the team!
With the help from the Tuohy Family, Micheal is able to acheive the impossible and with a little help from Micheal, the Tuohy's live's are changed forever.
This is a very touching movie. The Best of 2009 by far!
