What kind of fidelity to the truth do you expect from Hollywood?
When anything is adapted to the screen and accompanied by the words “true story” along with “based on,” “inspired by” or any other squirrelly disclaimer in between, it has a way of becoming settled fact in the minds of viewers. That puts the onus on us to treat these stories with more scrutiny. It also means filmmakers bear a responsibility beyond simply giving audiences a good time.
If you go to the websites of Leigh Anne Tuohy and the family’s foundation, both sell merchandise branded in connection with the film’s message. One T-shirt says: “Families don’t have to match.” Another reads: “Property of The Blind Side 2009 Athletic Dept.” That’s a common riff on school-issued T-shirts. In light of Oher’s allegations, the word “property” takes on an entirely different and chilling context.
