Read the book. The writer is great. A lotta Bill Walsh and Lawrence Taylor mentioned + the technical aspects of football. Oher? He was a fish outta water the entire novel. The movie I didn’t bother to see. Susan Bullock does not pass as somebody’s mom. In one chapter Oher decides he’s gonna hurt someone. The reader feels he’s justified. Maybe a leopard just can’t change his spots. Still I’d side with him.
I’m reserving judgment. His family are members of our old church and I know they are good people. We moved and changed churches, so it’s been several years since I’ve seen either his dad or Michael. I don’t know what happened here, but even if he was in the wrong, I believe deep down he is a good man. Unless he’s really changed, it’s hard to imagine he would simply attack an uber driver. I think of him as polite and rather shy.
Susan Bullock? Sandra is her name.
