Faith in Film, Week 6

Here is a look at this week's worksheet for "The Blind Side."

Title: “The Blind Side” (2009)
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Kathy Bates, and Quinton Aaron
Synopsis: This film was one of 10 Best Picture nominees for 2009 and earned an Academy Award for star Sandra Bullock for Best Actress. It’s an inspirational and true-life story of Michael Oher, who is the starting left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. It is a moving picture of what is possible when someone steps out of his or her comfort zone to help another in need.
The basic story centers on the Tuohy family, who live in Tennessee. Both kids, Collins and SJ, attend Briarcrest Christian Academy along with Michael Oher, a young man from a broken home that lacks a support system. Oher has drive and raw talent but no one to look out for him. When matriarch Leigh Anne Tuohy (Bullock) takes Michael in and invests in him, he begins to thrive. The film mixes in a message about what it means to be a Christian and to invest in those in need. The story is inspirational because of the positive effect on the lives of everyone involved but it also includes a compelling push that there is more left to be done.

Questions to Consider:
1. During tough times in your life, what ways have you been lifted up by others?



2. As Christians, what role do we have in helping those in need in the world?



3. How can we help make a difference in the lives of those in need in our community?
