Today i started to watch the movie "Blindside" in SLS. Although Ive seen this movie before, i cant get enough of it. Maybe its because i played football or maybe its because i liked the true story aspect of the film. This movie is a heart warming story about a young man who's give a new start with a new family to become something great. Hes an African American young man who gets indirectly adopted by a rich white family who's children attended his new High school. Once "Big Mike" or Micheal starts playing football it only went uphill form there. He became an essential part of the team and was soon being scouted by top Universities. Mike finally made a decision and went to Ole Miss. This is where one of the big conflicts of the film comes into play. They accuse the family with having recruited him for the school. Instead of looking at it as a nice humanitarian heart filled gesture, they looked at it with a negative light. In the end they show the real Mike decked out in his NFL gear with his real family.
