[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are the only person that I know that is annoyed by The Blind Side.

I also thought of it as how Michael Oher overcame so much.

You are probably a glass half empty person.

You should watch hotel Rwanda to sooth your white guilt.[/quote]Here's what I found annoying about The Blind Side. Sandra Bullock goes to the projects to look for Oher or Oher's mom (can't remember which) and is confronted by a gang leader type who threatens to come across town and rape her white daughter if she doesn't leave Michael alone (so he can be recruited into the gang).  I read the book which was followed fairly closely in the movie except for this scene. It's true that some guy on his football team made a rude comment about the girl but it was obviously a rude comment and Michael made him pay for it. In reality, the gang leader didn't behave this way at all.

Earth to Hollywood: When middle class white women venture into poor black neighborhoods, gang leaders don't walk up to them and threaten to rape them. But you might find that strangers on the street will say "hello," because that's the friggin' neighborly thing to do![/quote]

Earth to clueless white woman... I delivered pizza at the UMCP and yes... People threatened me and eventually the manager stopped delivering to those areas. I am middle class white woman and these were open air drug markets.

Michael also injured a boy in a rage and they left tht out of the movie.[/quote]
