10 Average Questions about The Blind Side

Answer: He has drawn a boat with a small person in it.

Michael later shares that he has never done homework nor does he understand what the teachers are talking about. We learn during the admission board review that Michael essentially has been passed along through school. His learning abilities are low, but he has scored high in one area in standardized testing: protective instincts.

Answer: at the dining room table eating alone

Michael had seen a coffee table book on his first night with the Tuohys. On the cover of the book was a Norman Rockwell picture of a happy family having Thanksgiving dinner. That picture made an impression on Michael about how a family gathers together at Thanksgiving.

When Leigh Anne finds Michael at the table, she is touched and has the family join him. We begin to see how little family Michael has experienced while growing up.

Answer: a bed

Leigh Anne tries not to look shocked, but her voice chokes a little when she says, "Well, you have one now." She leaves the room, goes to her bedroom, and closes the door. We see her sitting, obviously trying to gather herself as she further realizes what a hard life Michael has led.

Answer: his younger brother

When asked by Leigh Anne, Michael says that the boy is Marcus, his brother. Michael has not seen Marcus since they were little boys. They were removed from their mother's care and then separated when Michael was seven years old.

Answer: She leaves her friends' study table at school to go sit with Michael.

When Leigh Anne asks Collins how she feels about Michael living with them, Collins replies, "They're stupid kids. Who cares what they say." Leigh Anne wants to know what the "stupid kids" are saying. Collins only will say that it's not worth repeating. She adds that her mother should not worry about S.J. (Jae Head). He loves the attention.

Answer: Michael's right arm is injured from stopping S.J.'s airbag.

Without Michael stopping the airbag, S.J. would have been badly injured or worse. Michael's protective instincts kicked in, and he wasn't going to let anything bad happen to S.J.

Answer: She is a Democrat.

Sean (Tim McGraw) is heard saying to Leigh Anne, "Who'd have thought we'd have a black son before we knew a Democrat." Funny scene.

Answer: There are bodies buried under the football field. They're the ones you need to worry about.

Miss Sue tells Michael that the University of Tennessee has an outstanding Science department and is famous for working with the FBI to study effects of soil on decomposing body parts. The body parts are stored under the football field. Tapping into fear, Miss Sue really wants Michael to pick Ole Miss.

She punctuates her speech by making a claw to imitate a body part coming up to grab Michael. Michael's eyes are wide. Another funny scene.

Answer: Ole Miss is where my family goes to school.

Sean and Leigh Anne are Ole Miss alums, as is Miss Sue. The situation is being investigated, because there is suspicion that Michael was taken in by the Tuohys with the intention that he would eventually play football for Ole Miss. This suspicion was not true, but Michael became overwhelmed during the first interview and ran out.

When he returned, he told the investigator that she wanted to know why everyone wanted him to go to Ole Miss. However, she had not asked him why *he* wanted to go.

Answer: Baltimore Ravens

We learn at the end of the movie that in 2009, the New England Patriots traded the 23rd pick to the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens selected Michael Oher, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss. He played for the Ravens from 2009-2013.
