** ''The Blind Side'' was released in theaters on the same week as ''New Moon'', the sequel to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Collins is watching ''Twilight'' on television when Leigh Anne brings Michael to the Tuohys' home for the first time. (Which is actually an anachronism, because most of the key events of the original book take place between 2003 and 2005, considerably before ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' became a phenomenon.)

* TheCameo: Several [[UsefulNotes/CollegiateAmericanFootballPower5Conferences Southeastern Conference]] coaches played themselves in various, mostly minor parts of the film. Tommy Tuberville at Auburn, Nick Saban at LSU, Lou Holtz at South Carolina, Houston Nutt at Arkansas, Phil Fulmer at Tennessee, and Ed Orgeron at Ole Miss. Of course, the Ole Miss coach does have a slightly larger role than the others. And everyone in the list had moved on to another job by the time the film was released—notably, Nutt succeeded Orgeron at Ole Miss and was Oher's head coach his senior year.

** The Tuohys save Michael from a life of poverty and violence.
to:
** The Tuohys save Michael is portrayed as someone incapable of thinking for himself and whose only hope is being saved by the nice white family, and the whole narrative of the movie is told from a life the heroic white family's point of poverty view. To make Leigh Anne and violence.co look even more saviour-like, the film even ignores real-life facts, such as that Michael Oher already knew how to play football before he met the Tuhoys. While this element of the film was critiqued even at the time, it has only become more difficult to ignore after Oher later alleged that the Tuohys deceived him into signing into a conservatorship instead of actually adopting him.

** This film has a massive White Saviour complex and then some, even going as far as ignoring real-life facts (such as the fact Michael Oher already knew how to play football before he met the Tuhoys) in order to make Liane and co look even more white saviour-like. Michael is portrayed as someone incapable of thinking for himself and whose only hope is being saved by the nice white family and the whole narrative of this condescending movie is told from the heroic white family's point of view.
