The Blind Side Year Holly Hartsoe Frisk 4/4/2010 Theology and Film Film Title: The Blind Side Year: November 2009 Director: John Lee Hancock Original release form/venue: Originally released to movie theaters November 20 th , 2009 in the U.S. Available formats : New Release so may be somewhat difficult to find right now but can be found mostly anywhere (pay-per-view, stores, netflix, redbox, etc); readily available on DVD/Bluray Genre: Drama/Biography Story Elements: Characters : Michael Oher, the Tuohy family (Leigh Anne, Sean, Lily and S.J.), Miss Sue (Michael’s tutor) Actors: Sandra Bullock (Leigh Anne Tuohy), Tim McGraw (Sean Tuohy), Quinton Aaron (Michael Oher), Jae Head (S. J. Tuohy), Lily Collins (Collins Tuohy), Kathy Bates Plot: This movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher, who was a homeless African- American teenager with a drug-addicted mother and no father. Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy pick Michael up as he is walking down the street in the cold at dark the night before Thanksgiving. He spends the night at the Tuohy residence and the next morning begins to leave, but Mrs. Tuohy catches him and invites him to celebrate Thanksgiving with their family. Afterwards, Michael becomes somewhat a part of the family and eventually Leigh Anne decides to adopt him and make him a true member of the family. He begins to play football at school and becomes a star member of the football team after Mrs. Tuohy helps his coach learn how to coach him. With the help of a tutor, Miss Sue, Michael’s grades are good enough to play football and even be eligible to play NCAA Division I football. Central themes: Family, poverty, servanthood, inclusiveness, football, overcoming, acceptance Film Language Elements: Setting: Early 2000s Props: Football and everything that surrounds it—especially Ole’ Miss. Costumes: Michael’s clothing from the beginning accents his situation—homeless with only one change of clothes. The Tuohy’s clothing, especially Leigh Anne’s, also portrays their wealth. Music: Sets the mood when moving from scene-to-scene. Matches tense moods at certain times and highlights the caring attitude of the Tuohy family. Audience/Cultural Context elements: This movie could be intended to reach various groups of people. It would probably be a beneficial movie for those of financial situations like the Tuohy family to watch. It may open some peoples’ eyes or at least influence and inspire others to reach out to their communities. The movie may also help some teenagers with similar situations as Michael Oher to keep going, never give up and try their hardest/do their best at whatever they do. I would say this movie is ok for most age groups, although there are a few scenes that would be questionable for younger audiences. Because of the content, I believe I would recommend it for middle school ages and up. Theology is Found: I do not believe theology is intentionally and directly placed in the movie, but I do believe the theology is clearly there just from the context and the content of the story itself. I believe theologically, the theme of servanthood is embraced within the film, but it is just a product of the whole story. Theological themes for conversation: I think the theme that stands out most is that of servanthood/outreach, but I also believe conversations can emerge from the lifestyles lived in the film. A group could easily talk about sin and how the mistakes of one person can lead to a terrible life for another… yet, the good decisions of one person can change someone’s life for the better as well. Suggested use of film: I would use this film as an illustration of the theological theme of servanthood/outreach. Recommended amount/parts of film to view, and ways to view it: I have come to realize that it is really difficult to take some films out of context and still get the same effects from it. In this film, it would be possible to take certain scenes and put them together in such a way as to illustrate a theme, but I believe watching the entire film really brings everything together. I would recommend watching part of the movie, stopping it for conversation to see what ideas emerge then finish by completing the movie and having another conversation at the end. Concluding or Summary remarks: Because this movie was set so recently and the character around which the story is centered is currently a player for an NFL team, it would be a great film for a group of teenagers to watch. Frisk, 2 Questions for Theological Conversation Film Title: The Blind Side Central Theological Conversation Questions: 1. Name some characters in the movie who reached out to others. 2. Why do you think these people reached out to those in need? 3. What does it feel like to be helped by someone? 4. Can you think of a time when you have reached out to someone? 5. How does it feel to help someone else? 6. Is there a story in the Bible where someone helps someone in need? 7. Why do you think God wants us to help others? 8. Why is it so hard for us to help others sometimes? 9. What can we learn from the Touhy family about helping others? 10. Name one way in which you could try to help someone. Audience/learners for this conversation: I would use this film as the beginning to a “Weekend Outreach Retreat” for a church youth group. This film could be shown on a Friday night with discussion, and then Saturday could be a day for outreach at a local soup kitchen, homeless shelter or food bank. On Saturday afternoon, the group could meet back together again to discuss what they had seen and experienced so far. This film is a particularly good film for showing to impressionable audiences, such as a group of teenagers. Amount of film to be used in the theological conversation: The group would view the entire film together. When, in a session or series, you would use the film: This film would be used as the beginning to a weekend outreach retreat. Before the film, the group would briefly go through the questions, then the group would watch the film, and after watching the film, the group would be broken down into smaller groups of 3-5 (or 7-10 if a really big group) for conversation. Goal of the film conversation: Mainly, my hope would be that teenagers begin thinking about what they can do at a young age to help others. Sometimes it is hard for teenagers to grasp taking on a project, because they may feel like their age prevents them from doing certain things. This would be a way to introduce the teenagers to the theme of outreach, and the next day they would experience a way that they can actually do outreach within their community. Frisk, 3 How to engage/focus on the film: For this particular viewing, I would recommend giving the questions to the group before watching the film. I would have an adult go through each question and make sure each participant would have a copy of the questions in front of them. I would also provide a blank sheet of paper in case the participants happened to notice something they wanted to discuss later within their conversations. Theological Conversation partners for the film: Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan Defining "Neighbor" (The Message) 25 Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. "Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?" 26 He answered, "What's written in God's Law? How do you interpret it?" 27 He said, "That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself." 28 "Good answer!" said Jesus. "Do it and you'll live." 29 Looking for a loophole, he asked, "And just how would you define 'neighbor'?" 30-32 Jesus answered by telling a story. "There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side. Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured man. 33-35 "A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I'll pay you on my way back.' 36 "What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?" 37 "The one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, "Go and do the same." How the “partners” might be brought into conversation with one another: Note for Teacher/Leaders: First, you want group participants to be able to talk to each other and trust one another, so if you know the group can handle this and still have good conversation, let them split up into smaller groups on their own after the movie.

    12/12/2019 Mercury Reader ninjajournalist.com Michael Oher And The Real Story Of ‘The Blind Side’ By Derek Ewing | Oct. 8th, 2019 Send to Kindle Casual football viewers can rarely pick offensive linemen apart from one another. While they may seem like big bodies that are good at pushing each other, NFL player Michael Oher has broken the mold to become one of the best-known names in the game. Oher set the record straight about his life, which became a hit movie. He might have grown into an NFL player, but Michael Oher’s life was anything but enviable. This is his topsy-turvy story. Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, was not always easy for Michael Oher. His mother struggled greatly with substance abuse, so Michael was forced to grow up fast. In an interview with 20/20, Oher said, “She wasn’t really around too much. I took care of myself most of the time.” As tough as it is to say it, it must have been even tougher to live it. He was one of 12 kids living in Hurt Village, a housing project in North Memphis. https://www.ninjajournalist.com/entertainment/michael-oher/ 1/22 12/12/2019 Mercury Reader With his alcoholic mother barely around, Michael was put into foster care at age seven. Due to his lack of supervision, Michael had a short attention span and little discipline. He repeated first and second grades. In his first nine years as a student, he attended 11 schools. It did not help that he rarely stayed at a foster home for long, https://www.ninjajournalist.com/entertainment/michael-oher/ 2/22 12/12/2019 Mercury Reader bouncing between various homes.

  • Leigh Anne Tuohy Inspirational Subject of the Blind Side
    LEIGH ANNE TUOHY INSPIRATIONAL SUBJECT OF THE BLIND SIDE Exclusive Representation by Greater Talent Network Dubbed a “warrior princess” by author Michael Lewis in his best- selling book The Blind Side, Leigh Anne is the inspirational matriarch of the Tuohy family. While studying at the University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, Leigh Anne met Sean Tuohy, her husband of 33 years. Both were active and ambitious college students: Leigh Anne was a cheerleader, campus favorite, homecoming maid and an active member of her sorority, Kappa Delta; Sean became a record-breaking SEC basketball champion and still holds several SEC assist records. They are the proud parents of daughter Collins (28) and sons Sean, Jr. (21), and Michael Oher (28). In February 2013, Leigh Anne and the whole Tuohy family were on the sidelines cheering Michael and the Baltimore Ravens on to his first Super Bowl victory. Michael now plays as Offensive Tackle for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. AT THE PODIUM Leigh Anne inspires audiences to recognize the full potential of individuals in their community—and to find value in those who society has deemed valueless. She shares her personal “Blind Side” observations, from seeing Michael Oher for the first time to how the experience changed her as a person—and the Tuohys as a family. “He had a much greater impact on our lives than we did on his life,” says Leigh Anne. One of the country’s most sought after motivational speakers, Leigh Anne has given lectures to a broad spectrum of audiences from religious groups and town halls to some of the country’s largest corporations.

  • Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® Winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) Star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros
    Sandra Bullock (“The Proposal”), Tim McGraw (“Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Blind Side,” which depicts the remarkable true story of All-American football star Michael Oher. Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her daughter’s classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael—wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter—come out of the cold. Without a moment’s hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the differences in their backgrounds. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. And as the family helps Michael fulfill his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael’s presence in the Tuohys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. “The Blind Side” is directed by John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”), who also wrote the screenplay based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Gil Netter, Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson produced the film with Molly Smith, Erwin Stoff and Timothy M. Bourne serving as executive producers. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw star as Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, and Kathy Bates stars as Michael Oher’s dedicated tutor, Miss Sue.

  • It's Good to Be Michael Lewis
    It’s Good to Be Michael Lewis 10/17/11 11:32 AM It’s Good to Be Michael Lewis He could have made a fortune in business. Instead, he made a fortune writing about it. Plus—a fortune for everyone he writes about. By Jessica Pressler Published Oct 2, 2011 (Photo: Jake Chessum) Collins Tuohy has told this story before, and by now her delivery is spot on. It was Thanksgiving morning, and her family were on their way to pick up breakfast. “Because in our household,” she says in her Memphis drawl, and pauses for emphasis. “My mother thinks that if we go and get food.” Dramatic pause. “And bring it back to our house.” Another pause. “Then it counts as home cooking.” The audience laughs as Collins, a twentysomething Kappa Delta in a leopard-print dress and heels that bring her a good four inches closer to God, shakes her head affectionately at her parents, Leigh Anne and Sean, who are sitting next to her onstage at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Then her story turns serious. As they were driving, they spotted a boy from Collins’s school walking down the street, unseasonably clad in shorts and a T-shirt. Leigh Anne asked her husband to pull over. You probably know the rest. So did the thousand or so salespeople that diamond manufacturer Hearts on Fire had invited to hear the Tuohys speak during its annual seminar. At this point, practically everyone with eyes has seen the movie The Blind Side, which tells the story of how the Tuohys adopted that boy, Michael Oher, and transformed him, by the grace of Jesus and with the help of cash from Sean’s fast-food franchises, from almost-certain lost cause to millionaire NFL star.
