The Blind Side is the Hollywood story of NFL player,
Michael Oher. It's based on Oher's story from
The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game
written by Michael Lewis. For those unfamiliar with American football, "the blind side" is the vulnerable side of a quarterback, the offensive player responsible for passing or handing off the football. The most important responsibility of players in Oher's position as tackle is to protect their quarterback. One does not need to be a sports fan to enjoy this film about a neglected kid who is able to maximize his talents thanks to a little luck and the kindness of others.
