It's a legit beautiful story but now it's ruined sadly.
It's a movie you moron. Sandra Bullock won an oscar.
They got blacked right?

Has she not been blacked yet on Emily in Paris?
tired of Cinemaphiletards leaving their containment board and ruining the rest of the site
>I never had one before.
>What, a room to yourself?
>Royalties from this fricking movie!
The recent news really put this scene to perspective.
Why would HE make money off a movie based on a true story?
>Watch a WW2 movie
>Hitler sues because he didn't make any money off the movie
wait so you're arguing hitler should be rich from all the movies about him? You want hitler to be rich? typical naiz
Well no is FORCING Hollywood to make movies about the guy.

>because it's adapted from a book you moron
ME SO ...LE ANGRY!!! U R moronic CACA DOO DOO !!! STUPID DUMMY !!!! AAAHHHH
yeah that comes off as a real natural reaction, bro
Oher didn't write the book though.
Hitler is dead moron
Source?
I didn't even know he was sick
hilariously moronic
i don't get it, it's an old movie, why is this news now? how was this not known before
he hired a lawyer who looked into his and found out he unknowingly signed a conservatorship over to whitey, he thought he was legally adopted but he was not
imagine being lied to thinking you were adopted as a member of their family but instead were lied to and signed a conservatorship instead
there is literally NO reason for someone who isn't a braindead moron to sign a conservatorship other than to be taken advantage of
The supposed reason is that the school didn't want him to live with them unless he was a part of the family and that's the only way they could make the school happy
he shouldn't be able to hire lawyers or sue his conservators by law. he signed that right away.
are we a country of laws or not? wait don't answer i already know the answer
It was because he was 18. You can't adopt an adult. The conservatorship was necessary due to football related recruitment reasons because the dad was an Ole Miss booster
Yes you can. In Tennessee adult adoption is legal. The purpose of the conservatorship was to allow them to facilitate payments to him from the school.
what if he was told that it was a conservatorship but he didnt know what that meant and thought he was adopted the whole time?
The conservatorship was to get the NCAA off their back
so basically a white family bought a strong black man and used his physical labor to make money?
no, they took in a highly touted football prospect so he would go play at their favorite university
These people give millions of dollars to the Ole Miss athletic program. Apparently, they're the main reasons Hugh Freeze was picked as head coach (Hugh Freeze was the high school coach in the story, but got hired by Ole Miss as soon as Michael Oher went there)
They were heavily involved in making payments to potential recruits of which Michael was one. He's no more guilty there of giving him money than he is of taking it.
During this time Ole Miss went from being like 50th ranked in the country in recruiting to top 10 and even top 5 in some cases. Hugh Freeze was corrupt as frick and still is but he did beat Bama twice in B2B years. Having multiple wins against Saban is very, VERY rare in college football. There's like...less than 5 people who can say that lol.
Lmao he was a slave. Based white family running a giant nog for all its worth.
he ran out of money
The people he claims stole his money are worth $200 million. He spent all of his NFL money and he's looking for gibs me dat. Colin Kaepernick also turned on the naive white people that adopted him. Many such cases!
>Colin Kaepernick also turned on the naive white people that adopted him
Wat
head under a rock the last five years?
Did you not know?
Kap was adopted at a young age and raised by a rich White family. Also had a full-ride Baseball scholarship to UNR. He’s the epitome of what these lying fricks refer to as “White privilege”.
This
He’s also severely brain-damaged given the above-average time it took for him to recover from his last concussion.
I'm gonna adopt a bunch of fat black teenagers and see if I can get one in the nfl
It's okay, Major League and Moneyball have been ruined for me this year. Frick that slimy israelite Fisher with a cactus and frick anyone applauding the still as of yet potential move. Anyone doing so truly does not care about baseball and just wants to score cheap culture war points.
I hope that nepo baby israelite screws up his end of the private funding or any of the other steps in the way of getting to Vegas like he's done ALL HIS LIFE.
>another Cinemaphile shitpost thread
isnt there some 23 year old black athlete that spontaneously died that you can grieve over?
whitey trying to take advantage YET AGAIN
we built your country from the dirt for free and it still aint enough
Doesn't he have a lot of money anyways? he was a pro-footballer
he's been out of the league for nearly 10 years and not athletes don't necessarily hold onto their fortunes for long
He owns a bunch of restaurants, he's fine financially
in the book his conservator dad owned a bunch of taco bell and other yum brands restaurants and was heavily in debt. maybe the conservator son got in on the same type of shit
The dad is very rich, he didn't steal from the magic Black
i think he acted rich like he did the rich dad poor dad thing where he just leverages a bunch and hope for huge cash flow, maybe it worked out for him in the end
The family sold their restaurant company for 200M apparently
It will never be enough. White people will have to pay up forever.
he's right, they could've just used paid labor
Damn he right tho, and right skin tone with left features actually right eyes as well.
Is it mandingo effect or did something else come out a couple years ago about him? I swear he stole a car or killed someone and I chuckled
>rescued from abject poverty
>foster parents pay for school, living expenses and sports training out of the goodness of their heart
>able to attend college and make the prestigious NFL
>play for 8 seasons and get a Superbowl ring
>years later
>blow through millions cause he's still a double digit iq moron that would otherwise be stacking boxes at an Amazon warehouse if it weren't for football
>BLM bug gets in his ear
>decide to sue racist wypipl for making the mistake of giving his worthless ass a start in life
Black folk. Not even once.
>AIIIIIIIE I CAN'T ENJOY THIS MOVIE NOW BECAUSE LADONKUS DIDN'T GET ENOUGH MONEY!!!
>white men colonizing an innocent young boy
the usual
>2 white adults take a black adult man in, feed him, clothe him, give him a decent education and access to do his lifelong dream
>black man ends up disowning them since he didnt get enough gibs me dat
>make a deal that gets you and your children income
>don't bother including the one you adopted whose life story you're making money off of
They should've included him as equal partners in any money made from selling the story.
Honestly I just pray white people stop helping these frickers. It's absolutely deranged to try and get even basic thanks in return
That isn't what happened. That's what he's claiming happened. Apparently he's tried this before with several lawyers who have all dropped him when they realized he had no case. This isn't weasel talk. The things he's saying, and they're saying, are easily proven/disproven.
The reason they didn't adopt him is because there $200 million estate would have been up for grabs if they had. They shared all the money with him, and when he refused to cash the checks they deposited it into a trust for his son.
They definitely facilitated him getting paid to go to Ole Miss but that's because Ole Miss is one of the most corrupt schools in the country (or was back then). https://www.bannersociety.com/2014/4/10/20703758/bag-man-paying-college-football-players
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/aug/15/tuohy-family-response-blind-side-allegations-michael-oher-football#:~:text=On%20Tuesday%20Martin%20Singer%2C%20an,Tuohys%20paid%20him%20%2415m.
Ahh I see, I see. If they told him they earned a flat fee and shared the fee and that was it, then yeh there's no case. If they told him there's a flat fee and shared that fee, but then received royalties after the fact, and didn't give him that cash, I can see grounds for a case. They claim there's proof that he deposited checks they've given him over the years, so if so, he's screwed. I don't know why they'd deposit his checks into their son's trust fund, even if he apparently refused to accept them though. And why would the conservatorship still be in effect after all these years?
he didn't start football fresh in 12th grade though
They deposited checks into Oher’s son’s trust fund, not the Tuohy son trust fund. He really has no case. The lawyer who took his case is just cleaning out whatever’s left in his wallet. He’ll be working at Taco Bell in no time at all.
ooohhh shit, damn, they set up a trust fund for his fricking son. all they should do is end the conservatorship.
Unrelated but I'd destroy sandra in this movie
If the movie was accurate the coach would have been after Lily Collins (the daughter)
you can't blame hollywood for being unrealistic,
the husband and wife should be NFL scouts if they knew that homeless high schooler would make millions in the NFL and make that book and movie happen
This is gonna sound schizo but I always got weird vibes from this shit tbqh. Gives me the same weird psyop-y vibes as "Heaven is for Real" or all those weird Holocaust books aimed at small children.
Yup
Why do you csre about this uppity, ungrateful Black folk?
Kek. Based white family.
Black person you play football for a living why do you need more money.
>took him twenty years to figure out a conservatorship and adoption are different things
Honestly he deserves it at that point
So you're telling me that white people lied, connived and profited off the work and talent of a POC? Wow. Color me surprised.
>Although he was a capable student, he attended 11 schools in nine years, and repeated both the first and second grades, leaving him behind academically.
Imagine writing this and not blowing your brains out moments later
just remembered Mike Leach died
F
White savior complex: the movie
>Under the conservatorship, Oher surrendered that authority to the Tuohys, even though he was a legal adult with no known physical or psychological disabilities.
Ok, so a legal adult in compos mentis signed a contract without any kind of coercion or other malfeasance and didn't incur sufficient damages from it to notice for 14 years. What suicidal lawyer took this case?
Frick, this post was made by somebody with actual legal experience.
Yeah I went to jail once (drunk & disorderly)
In his statement, Singer said agents for Michael Lewis, author of the bestselling book that became "The Blind Side," negotiated a deal in which the Tuohy family "received a small advance from the production company and a tiny percentage of net profits."
"They insisted that any money received be divided equally. And they have made good on that pledge," the statement said. "The evidence -- documented in profit participation checks and studio accounting statements -- is clear: over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from 'The Blind Side.' Even recently, when Mr. Oher started to threaten them about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher's equal share into a trust account they set up for his son."
Singer's statement said Oher "has actually attempted to run this play several times before -- but it seems that numerous other lawyers stopped representing him once they saw the evidence and learned the truth. Sadly, Mr. Oher has finally found a willing enabler and filed this ludicrous lawsuit as a cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour."
In his court petition, Oher asks for a judge to terminate the conservatorship granted to the Tuohys in August 2004 and also a full accounting of the money the Tuohys earned using Oher's name, and to have the couple pay him his fair share of profits, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Singer said the family will not oppose the termination of their guardianship but "will not hesitate to defend their good names, stand up to this shakedown and defeat this offensive lawsuit."
Good thing most Americans don't care about sports or they'd be calling for Sandra Bullock to have her Oscar taken back
Never seen the movie or heard of this guy in the NFL, but why now? Thr Blind Side came out like 15 years ago.
He ran out of money
The tens of millions of dollars he made playing in the NFL has run out because he spent it all on drugs and cars and shoes. Now he wants money from the people who gave him the opportunity to play in the NFL so he can buy more drugs and cars and shoes
And recently wrote a book he is trying to sell.
The wife, daughter, and son just wanted BBC at home.
White people are evil
Typical evil white people shit. Don't get offended good, decent white people. I'm merely speaking about evil white people. This is what they do.
Shut up, Black person.
Glad I never wasted a cent to see that garbage. It always seemed like a load of white savior, masturbatory, self-righteous bull anyway.
I know, her breasts were never that big. Dishonest film making of this magnitude just...it just...I just can't you guys
I want a milf so bad. How do you get one?
sports bars
Its all connected
Leigh Anne Tuohy-> Hugh Freeze -> Jerry Fallwell Jr -> Donald Trump
I hope based Biden comes down hard on all these people
He'll come down as hard on them as hard as he went down to Hawaii
