The Blind Side

In the film, The Blind Side by John Lee Hancock released in 2009. It breaks the typical stereotypes for Caucasian people. This film hasn't been causing much controversy in the media at all. I believe the film has broken many stereotypes. For example in this film there was young african american character who went by Michael Oher he was a homeless teen who was in and out of different school systems occasionally. Throughout the film an caucasian family came in his life. The mother Leigh Anne Touhy and father Sean Touhy took Michael and eventually became his legal guardians. The family treated Michael like their own child. They helped him succeed in school, and sports. Throughout the movie it broke the stereotype of Caucasians being considered racist and not caring for African Americans. By the end of the movie the Touhy family helped Michael finish high school and get drafted to play for a College football team. The outcome of this movie made me realize that not all people are racist and that there is still hope in the world.
