I love this story. And the movie.
He apparently doesn’t like the movie:
“I’m not trying to prove anything,’’ Oher said. “People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie. They don’t really see the skills and the kind of player I am. That’s why I get downgraded so much, because of something off the field.
“This stuff, calling me a bust, people saying if I can play or not ... that has nothing to do with football. It’s something else off the field. That’s why I don’t like that movie.’’
Me too. Every time they play the film, I take the time to watch it. It’s such a powerful story.
Yes, it’s a great movie. Guess I have to root for Carolina now. Which is fine, we were kind of going to root for them anyway, East Coast rules! (something like that, we all had a bad season with our teams!)
I also am an Adoptive MOM, but I just consider myself MOM...
We were very blessed as we got our son as a new born, and he recently turned 44 ..oh my how did that happen!!!!
He was a gift on day one, he is a gift today and I always tell him how lucky we have been...He was always smart, bright, talented and has achieved much in life...tall, handsome and gifted...He was so easy to raise...
Not Flesh of my Flesh, not Bone of my Bone, but still Miraculously my Own, and I never forgot for a single minuet, he didn’t grow under my Heart, HE GREW IN IT...
I loved this movie...an American tale!!! Tough guy that I am,...I cried throughout this movie!!! They were tears of joy for a little boy, down on his luck, who was loved and helped by people of good faith, heart & soul, and, who grew into everything that he could be!!! God Bless America!!! And, God blss Michael Oher!!!
