Is this the prequel to the white family in Get Out? Update: this has aged very well.
JaySep 20, 2023This movie is impressively racist. For example, I swear to god there's an early scene where Michael Oher's teachers are mulling over his aptitude test results, where he scored poorly on most things except for "protective instincts," for which he landed in the 98th…

How can such a true story feel so fake?

You really have to watch this movie as if everything about the story is purely fictional. It’s beautifully written with an amazing cast, just a huge shame they didn’t actually stay true to Oher’s story. Would not recommend this if you can’t separate fiction from real life though.
I don’t like how it was sort of altered and how Michael Oher himself felt his portrayal wasn’t great and didn’t like the savior theme of it. Think if it wasn’t a biography this movie alone is touching, emotional and overall a good movie. I wish it was kept true to the real story

Grounded in the direct, disarming truth of their experience, the movie has a straightforward lack of cheap sentiment that saves it from being either too maudlin or saccharine-sweet.
Bullock is an irrepressible hoot in writer-director John Lee Hancock's otherwise thoroughly conventional take on Michael Lewis' fact-based book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.
Uplifting and entertaining feel-good, fact-based sports drama.
