 The Blind Side

The Blind Side is a great movie that shows how much helping others can change your life. I'm sure most of you have seen it, but I'll just sum it up for you. It's about a rich white family who takes in an impoverished African-American teenage boy. They get him doing well in school and he starts on the football team. In the end, he goes off to a wonderful university, and eventually joins the NFL. Now most people see this film just for how much the Tuohy's help and change Michael's life, but I think what could be even more important is how much Michael changed the Tuohys' lives. In the beginning they were just a stuck up rich family who didn't care about anyone but themselves. They were stuck in their ways, and it took someone less fortunate than them coming in to finally make them realize they were doing it wrong. Over the course of the movie they become closer as a family. What's even better about this movie is that it's based on a true story. This is a real life story that shows having money doesn't make you wealthy, but more of what's on the inside.  The themes of love, selflessness, and change are all those that relate to religion. If you haven't seen The Blind Side, I definitely recommend seeing it.
