I always knew something felt off about this movie…
This is definitely a great “feel good movie” with a great cast and great acting, and if it were based on a fictional character, I’d have no qualms with it whatsoever. However, this movie is not based on a fictional character, it’s based on a real man who was lied to for all of his adult life by individuals who profited from him thinking they were “family”. Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (portrayed wonderfully in the film by Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock, respectively) tricked Michael Oher into signing a conservatorship – granting them financial control over his earnings and allowing them to use his likeness for this film and their numerous books – when he thought he was signing adoption papers making him part of the family. The saddest part that makes this one of the worst white savior scams ever is that they and their two biological children were paid $250,000 + 2.5% of net profits EACH from the $300,000,000+ grossing film (about $4.6M each), while Michael himself received nothing for the movie about HIS life, and Oher had to find this out himself after hiring a lawyer to get to the bottom of this. There is no way I could ever watch this movie again and enjoy it any bit knowing that the main character got swindled by people who claimed to love him only to profit from his success story.Read More
