I am a sucker for those movies that have to do with football teams. I do not know why but I end up loving every football movie there is made. "Leatherheads" was so funny, then there is "Remember the Titans" and "Radio", and then "We are Marshal"... All of those are great movies! But the one that I love the most out of all the movies is "The Blind Side" I love the message it has about courage and honor. If you do not remember this is what it says...
"Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don't. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn't at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up, and joining with the other side? I mean, valley of death that's pretty salty stuff. That's why courage it's tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you're doing something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason for you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too. "
I guess when I watched this movie and I heard this quote, I was in a time in my life that I needed to hear it the most because ever since I had listened to it, I have never been able to stop thinking about the movie and the message it gives. I loved it and will always be able to say this is one of my favorite movies. It also has the humor in the movie to make it even better. I just love it!!! I wish I could meet Michael Oher! That would be so great.
