Racism In The Blind Side

In his academy award winning movie, The Blind Side, released in 2009, John Lee Hancock, an award winning director and author, illustrates the relevant racism against African American in modern society shown through the non-fiction narrative of Leigh Anne Tuohy, a woman who encounters a young African American boy that only has two personal belongings, an extra shirt and pants.
Hancock develops his illustration by retelling the story Ferdinand the Bull through Michael Oher’s character as well as developing a paradox between the two main characters since Leigh Anne is a wealthy Caucasian who is respected in her city while Michael is a homeless African American that all the characters doubt except Leigh Anne.
Hancock’s purpose is to inform the reader about the oppression of African Americans, especially the ones that are athletically talented in a “white man’s world,” but he uses Leigh Anne’s perspective since his audience is mainly Caucasian to connect more to the audience’s view and to make them reevaluate their morals as Caucasians that can stop the oppression of African Americans.
