Greatest thing about this movie is how SJ just adores his brother, unequivocally. As it should be.

I feel like it's an overlooked moment when SJ turns his attention from the game to his dad when he starts talking about the poem

The fact that people around the world still learn this poem, shows that the courage of the Light Brigade at Balaclava was not in vain. Their ride into the “Valley of Death” has not been forgotten.

What a lot of love and determination in that small package called LeAnn Tuohy. She is dynamite. A tiger with a heart of gold. Nothing stands in her way to get her cubs launched. Every child deserves a parent like this. Made me cry.

Years later from watching this, I was doing college exam and wasn't sure what theme to write about. I remembered this scene and I got A+.

I love that Sean got a bonding moment in the movie too. It’s always her having those moments.

She 'found' his baby picture, one determined woman! Gotta love Southern belles. Just don't mess with them. What a radiant smile on Big Mike's face. He finally belongs. Very moving.

America needs to watch this movie. Life lessons need too be reminded about sometimes.

There are so many of life’s lessons in this clip…The influence of a strong male Father figure on his sons…having courage and honor…to name just two.

Michael made his parents proud with this academic accomplishment. I am an oldest son of parents who never went to high school, never graduated anything. I finished high school on schedule and went on to a B.S. degree from Michigan State. It was very hard but my motivation was to make them proud by doing what they were unable to do. This movie is all about accomplishing difficult tasks by hard work and perseverance. Michael Oher is a real person, so he should inspire others. You can do anything you set your mind to with hard work.

I loved Kathy Bates in this. "Who would figure we would have a black son before we let a democrat in the house"

In real life, Michael AND Collins both graduated in the same year...and both went to Ole Miss, where she became a cheerleader...just FYI. However, it was true that Leigh Ann did copy and paste some random black baby's photo from the internet, then sent it to the school.

All it takes is one person to believe in you. all it takes is one person the listen to you when things just aren't going the way you'd like. All it takes , is one person to have a little bit of faith in you and tell you that . all it takes is just a little bit of extra effort and you can , reach that goal.

damn I never really realize how great of an actress Sandra Bullock really is the way that she looked at him and side relief like we did it baby that was great

3:29 Sean:wait a minute u broke into the priciples computer? Leanne:hm omg best lines ever

His interpretation of Tennyson's work is stunning in this setting. Well done.

I'm very proud of you Michael Oher. You have both courage AND honor. Your mothers would be proud of you too. Both of them. You've just given me my inspiration for what I want to talk about in this critique of the Blind Side.

This seems like a powerful scene. We have white people in the room, black guy in the room, a Republican and a Democrat, and you can see the emotion in everyone's face.

Thank you for adding captions for your deaf and hard of hearing viewers! This was a very thought-provoking (and humbling) scene. It's definitely a concept that we should impart upon our youth!

I got chills throughout my body at the last part of the poem!!!

Did anyone notice how his greatest critic the literature teacher was smiling and clapping for Mike.

This is a great story, movie shows us what courage and honor can do, put everyone else first, and never give up on your dream. In the case someone saves you and brings you into there family as if they were your own, given the tools, anything is possible... God Bless, and thankyou Micheal Ore, you are an inspiration to us all...

my teacher used this clip in class and we have an essay on honor and courage, and this clip is really helping with the essay.

Daisy. What a beautiful movie!! Great performances - and the relationships within the family have their moments of weakness and strength just like any family; but to see Michael blossoming into the best human being he could possibly be, was a joy to see.

Tim Mcgraw is an exceptional actor

When he realizes they all die, it chokes me up.

This scene hits you right in the feels...

my favorite movie of all time its just so moving and all the messages in the movie really make you think

Everyone in this movie 🎥 were great 👍 actors 👏, this was a great movie 🎥.

I had never heard this before, and I watch and listen to and every time or almost every time learn something new from it. I also like the fact that my kids react

I had to memorise this poem for English Literature and I actually love it so much.

Amen. God bless this family

I remember black Americans gave such scathing reviews of this movie as they had an issue with “a white woman rescuing a brother”. As a fully paid up member of the global “Oreo Cookie community” (their sentiments, not ours); I thought they were talking out of their arses. Kindness has no borders.

What a wonderful true story, movie, and seen. And great sad but beautiful poem

Can't believe that's Tim McGraw!!!

This really inspired me, to want more out my life, and get to back up :) this is a great movie!! :)

This movie makes me cry...😢

I was tearing up at this part

one of the best poems I ever herd in my life

When words are music to our ears . . . Michael's essay. Remember your favorite moment in THE BLIND SIDE? The moment when Michael has his epiphany - after his new “Dad” quotes from memory, the climax of 'Charge of the Light Brigade': “Into the valley of death, rode the 600 . . . Theirs, not to reason why - Theirs, but to 'do-or-die'.” Inspired by his Dad's football analogy, “when the coach messes up,” Mike sits down to compose his thoughtful response - writing with an 'artless' style and a lyrical (not to say musical) beauty that rings true. I awake at a quarter to four and I'm about to cue up the DVD to transcribe Michael's “inspired and inspiring” words. Permit an aside: After determining that I'd never seen The Blind Side, my sister in Toronto sent me both Blu-ray and 'Made in Mexico' DVD versions for my birthday last month. Poised to transcribe (I type fast) I realized that this 'best scene' must be the favorite of millions - and is already posted at KZfaq, right? Sure enough. Four minutes of movie magic. Thanks for sharing isee -- "12 years ago" I see, with 2.8M views as of this date (4/18/2024). Celebrated elsewhere search " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

That just show the overwhelming responsibility a leader has when a slightly wrong or right decision might mean the difference between life & death of men under his command.

I love this part

Michael oher's story is inspirational

Makes me tear up.... thinking how BRIGHT one can be...

The charge of the light brigade is part of my countries history, and it was a miscommunication , and although they new they were going to die they charged those guns

👏👏👏👏👏 If I were his teacher, I proudly would have rate it with A+.

love this. so inspiring. Chills.

IMO the best part of this great movie.

God I love this movie

One of my favourite movie scenes ever

I love this movie since I was a little girl 😊😊😊😊😊😇😇😇😇😇😁😁😁😁😁😁😍😍😍😍😍

I love this movie ever😍😘😘😘

I love this poem it reminds me of stockton and Virgil a Noth star to many in recovery discovery. I love old miss the college and team..

What a good movie 🎬.

@3:59 you notice who is there? Righteous 🙌

BLESS YOUR HEART MICHAEL BLESS YOUR HEART!!!!!

i haven't watched this movie, but i already have tears in my heart.

She got it from the principals computer because she learned those skills in "The Net"!

Ok he totally should’ve gotten an A+ on that paper it’s friggin brilliant. Like . . . damn I can’t believe his teacher gives him a B on it just blows my mind😒

I love this scene it's so cool

Crazy how this video got in my recommended and it ends with him graduating high school. And I'm Graduating it tomorrow and going off to college in a few months

Love this scene so much 👑💎💗🧸 So much meaning 😭🐐🎸🌷💐💞🎶💓🌿

My fave movie

" Hope for Courage Try for Honor And maybe even Pray that the ppl telling you what to do then have some too. " " Hope is who you are And maybe who you want to be If you die for something important, that's good. "

hi im lee id loved this movie so mch bcuz its an eye opening ..and very encouraging story

Thank you lord Jesus for using this man to encourage strength show how to be a men

I like this part of the movie!!!!

sandra bullock what an amazing actress

Luv this poem!

The real dumb idea is not to question adults or your coach or a teacher. You have a right to be skeptical, is a smart thing.

My favorite movie 🎥🍿 and story thank you

I love this poem.

I swear if i was her i would have yelled MY BABY! when they call out his name.

Love this part

Wowww..great poem

Listening to audiobook, it is a rare occasion that movie is better than book.

really good scene

I wish I would have been adopted by this family. They helped him learn and grow. I'm still in the same place because of who I was raised around. My parents kept me around black people and all they did was use me. If I were in a white family I would be successful right now and not without a place to call home.

...any fool can have courage, but honor...

At the end that mother to son look amazing

I liked how SJ jumped up and stopped watching Basketball and paid attention to his dad when Tim McGraw started talking about the LSU Old Miss Football Game and the Coach had made a mistake that had cost LSU the game

i loved this scene because the father is watching the game then he hears the name of a beautiful poem and gets the chance to teach a great lesson! he sits on the couch and shouts "half a league, half a league.. half a league onward"

My favorite poem

Starting at 2:09, he says "didn't at least one of the 600 guys think about giving up" just as he walks past the guy he used to play football with who is watching him. That timing is not an accident.

thanks for writing my essay lol

Outstanding!!!

In the end... the only thing that you need is to have someone that believes in you until you build up your moment.. and from there.. you need to believe in yourself!

No greater a story told.

I don’t know this movie, so I’ll comment on this material alone. Honour… there are crimes committed in the name of ‘honour’. Whatever positive connotation ‘honour’ had, it’s corrupted now. The same for courage. Soldiers are being barked at about courage, in order to make them put themselves in the way of harm and kill others. No. It’s about commitment to a set of sane values and integrity. The rest follows.

THIS NEEDS BOTH MORE VIEWS AND MORE LIKES!!!!

18 people don't have courage and honor

i like it

Where can I find the long version of the film? help please

I wish more rich people were like this

this hit deep

Ahh the speech lol. !

Charge of the light brigade is a good poem

😇 Faith Honor Integrity 😇

bawling

This really touched me tonight in mind body and spirit
