NPC 7 The Blind Side

The Message from the Blind Side

The blind side is based in a true story about two different people’s situation. In this movie we found a family with a very good life situation, and a boy with very poor life conditions; Leigh Anne helped Mike Oher to improve his life situation, and mike helped her to see the other reality, the other side of the life. At the end of the movie we got the message that it does not matter the way of life, people can change or improve their conditions with only a little help.

Leigh Anne was a very successful woman, she had a perfect life: a great family , a very good husband, smart kids, lots of good education and all that anyone wish have, a big house, lots of money, cars, luxury, high status, a great work, but most important she was an excellent good person, she had a great heart, and she liked to help people a lot.

Mike Oher, known as “Big Mike”, was one more of these people outside in bad economic situation, his life specifically, was so bad: he had no home due to his mother’s drugs addiction, he has no idea whose his father was, his neighborhood was so violent with many drugs, and no chances of good education; however, he was a very good person, with a big heart too, and a great sense of protection.

When Leigh Anne met mike, he was so alone, and she invited him to sleep in her house, no matter what people said, she also gave him food, clothes, a car, but the most important she gave him love and education to the point where he qualified to get a NCAA Division I athletic scholarship; Mike gave her lots of protection, and he showed him new knowledge about the difficult side of the life, she was a very rich person, and her life seems to be just easy.

As a conclusion, we can see that it is not important how difficult or bad something is, or how good it is, there are many people that need help in one way or another, and that the only thing they need is some support or an opportunity to change their life to succeed… As the Beatles said… All you need is love!
