The Blind Side: Impactful Moment

This is a scene from the end of the movie "The Blind Side" and I think it is an extremely powerful part. The two people hugging in the movie are Michael Oher, an extremely talented football player, and his adoptive mother, Mrs. Tuohy. They are saying goodbye on his first day of college. Earlier that year, she'd found him on the streets and offered him to stay at their home. From then on, he was her son.

Please ignore the subtitles.



I really like that scene because, even though nothing is actually happening, it is one of the most important scenes in the movie. The dialogue suggests how easily things could have been utterly different. It teaches us that it's always important to make the right decisions and do the right things, like she did. I also really like the detail of the newspaper because it really adds to the emotion of the video. Overall, I think this scene works for me because it wraps up the entire movie perfectly and gives the viewer something to think about.
