Analyze the Thanksgiving scene in the movie "The Blind Side."
Answer (2)
The Tuohy's watch football every Thanksgiving, the whole family is sitting around the TV screen as Michael is sitting at the table alone. Michael hasn't gotten used to being in a family like this. Leigh sees Michael sitting alone, and by the looks of it, she thinks that it would be nice for the whole family to sit together and have Thanksgiving dinner, to make Michael feel good, as he has probably not done this before. She turns off the Football game, the family sets all the food on the dining table. They have a proper Thanksgiving dinner. They make him feel very included, as they say grace. He is surprised by this, people don't usually treat him this nicely.This is where the bond starts to form between Leigh and Michael, especially.
The Thanksgiving scene in "The Blind Side" illustrates the themes of family and inclusion as the Tuohy family invites Michael Oher to join them for dinner. It contrasts Michael's past loneliness with the warmth of acceptance he experiences with the Tuohys. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of Michael’s deep connection with the family, highlighting the idea that true family is defined by love and acceptance rather than blood alone.
