I'm speechless
 
Re: Movie: "The Blind Side"

Funny you should post this now. I just watched the real family behind the "Blind Side" interviewed last night.

Re: Movie: "The Blind Side"

The real movie was excellent. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. We actually viewed it with the Youth Group.
Excellent.
That spoof is pretty funny.
 
Re: Movie: "The Blind Side"

You would be surprised at the number of people who don't like the Tuohy's around here. They think they picked up Oher because he could play football and would be good for Ole Miss.

P.S. That would have been funnier to me if they had used Eli instead of Peyton. For those of you who don't know, Eli also graduated from Ole Miss.

I guess the people who "think" that way would feel better if Michael had remained on the street. Good grief,
 
Re: Movie: "The Blind Side"

That view was shown in the movie. I guess no one believes someone could do something for the right reason. They have to look for an angle so they do not have to feel bad about not doing something simular.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I've seen a lot of truly good people maligned or denigrated unfairly in my lifetime.

Herself brought it to the hovel last weekend. I figger'd it for a 'chic flik' from the little I saw of the PR.
I was pleasantly surprised it was not.

basil, i know someone that sponsored and tutored a young man through aviation school dispite harsh criticism, defended a fellow employee from slander, lies and harasment at the risk of themself being fired, saved another man while at knife point from being robbed and killed as others looked on at the expense of ending up in the hospital with a cracked jaw, what im trying to say is good people will do the right thing no matter what others may do, think or say. :yesnod:
 
Re: Movie: "The Blind Side"

FYI
I have been told by several people the book is much better than the movie. I have heard that several scenes in the movie were played down because what really happened would have been too graphic and violent. Still, a very inspiring story.

In the interview she mentioned that the director "dialed back" some of the scenes for that very reason.
