The Blind Side's accuracy is being challenged.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Blind Side producers defend the divisive $309 million movie in the face of recent controversy concerning Michael Oher and his family. The Blind Side has been under fire recently as its real-life inspiration, Michael Oher, made claims against the movie’s accuracy.
As the Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Alcon Entertainment, the company that financed THE BLIND SIDE, as well as being two of the movie's producers, we feel it is now important for us to respond to some recent media reports, which include many mischaracterizations and uninformed opinions.
In the story of THE BLIND SIDE we saw the better angels of human nature. We saw it in the Tuohy's wonderful acts of kindness toward Michael Oher. However, more importantly, we saw it in the extraordinary courage that Michael Oher demonstrated in accepting the Tuohys' generosity not as a handout, or as his saviors, but as a way through which he could improve his own life. Michael's academic accomplishments and athletic achievements demonstrate this.
As a result, the notion that the Tuohys were paid millions of dollars by Alcon to the detriment of Michael Oher is false. In fact, Alcon has paid approximately $767,000 to the talent agency that represents the Tuohy family and Michael Oher . We anticipate that the Tuohy family and Michael Oher will receive additional profits as audiences continue to enjoy this true story in the years to come.
