The Blind Side

It is rare to see movies that portray Christians as genuine people and not narrow-minded morons--let alone Conservative Republicans. The Blind Side tells a true story with great humor and touching reality. It also touches on issues like the severe disconnect between the upper-class and the lower-class sections of one's own hometown. Yet that does not make them bad people for such, just not thoroughly engaged in being able to help. Drugs are the real problem that keeps those in its grip, slaves to the very end. And there are more than enough scum to keep you in those bonds for their own gain. A sad untold story, touched upon in the end credits, is the young boy hanging with the dealer who used to play ball. The sorrowful epilogue was that he was killed in a gang-related incident. While one stayed in football and went on to play with the Baltimore Ravens, the other found only death in his slavery to poverty and drugs. It stands as a stark contrast.
