    All these movies follow a similar theme. One, that black people need salvation and two, that their salvation is a white woman/man - which is inherently more racist than any of the comments in this thread.

    Um..apparently one more, considering the reviews it's getting. Who gives a if it's been done..it's still good. Deal with it. I'm gonna see it...everyone I know who has seen it has loved it. How many times are you stupid nonconformists going to be racist about movies? You know, disagreeing with everyone doesn't make you cool.

    Um..you do know this is a true story, right? It's not like the Imperial Wizard sat down and said, "You know what would be awesome? A story in which a white person saves a black person's live to make us look great...WHITE POWER!!!" It happened, dude. Michael's proud of his story. As are the people who helped him. So don't see the ing movie..that's fine...it's doing fine without you. But there's no need to be a bag about it.

    I'm sure that was the hidden agenda behind making a movie about Michael Oher. It couldn't possibly be a movie made to tell the cool story behind a rookie in the NFL.

    Your right, Oher had white people helping him along the way

    Alot of other poor black athletes made it out on their own.

    Its a nice story, but I've heard of far more tragic ones that should be told before this one.

    Why do you think anyone that doesn't like something that is popular is simply being contrary and a "nonconformist"?

    I thought it was a good movie, not great but certainly not terrible. I don't think there was anything special about his story. Why not make a movie about Loul Deng being adopted by white folks and becoming an NBA player? It's no different than that. His "parents" were just able to capitalize on the story for their own benefit.

    I know it's a feel good story and I'm happy for the guy, but did this really need to be a movie?
