Some of them more evident than others. In this movie/book critique I will explain the many truths and lies, to better explain the echt story of Michael oher.Some key examples of the truths are the truth of big mikes parents also what are the toughys real professions. Key examples of lies betwixt the two stories would be how the toughys rattling discovered big mike, was Michael really a timid player as portrayed in the movie, and did mike really throw a rival player a border in a high school game. The Blind Side true story reveals that Michaels deliver mother had been addicted to crack cocaine. (ChasingtheFrog. om, 2013) this was also clearly stated in the movie, just like mikes pose which in the movie we select he wa s murdered but in the book we learn in detail that he was shot and thrown off an over pass.

In reality Leanne was rattling an interior decorator who eventually helped Michael decorate his own house. Sean toughy was also an owner of a major tight food chain.One of the most disputed facts was when in the movie did Michael ever have a bed to himself. We learn from a comparison of the book and movie that is was truly stated that until moving in with the toughys Michael had never had a bed to himself being he had eleven other siblings growing up. There are actually a lot of similarities in the movie and the book but most are very small and not easily noticed.

There are many false truths about the blindside both to make a better story or the actual truth was not known at the time the movie was created. One example would be who was the first family member to make contact with Michael. In the movie we find that big mike was first approached by Leanne when she spotted him walking in the come down at night. The book says that sean senior saw him Collins volleyball game picking up darkened popcorn.The actuality is that Collins noticed the large man mike and told her father who began to pay for mikes lunch when he realised he did not have the money to buy it himself. Another example would be did mike actually sputter in hurt village as seen in the movie. The truth is that was false to he did fight but the person who he fought was a teammate at ole miss. The reasons for the fight are the same though. working Cited ChasingtheFrog. com. (2013). Retrieved march 3, 2013 , from ChasingtheFrog. com http//www. chasingthefrog. com/reelfaces/blindside. php
