In the decade and a half since its release, The Blind Side has not aged very well. The Blind Side is based on a true story that tells the supposedly true story of Michael Oher. Oher was an unhoused teenage boy who was later taken in by a family named the Tuohys. This family, who is white, takes in the then-teen Oher, who is Black, and fosters him before later adopting him. Now, Oher is better known for eventually becoming an NFL football player.
Bo Burnham's The Blind Side Reference Explained Burnham References The Blind Side In His Netflix Special Inside In 2021, Bo Burnham released a quarantine-made comedy special titled Inside. Made during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, Inside is a music-filled comedy special that is at once introspective and outward-looking social commentary.
1 In this section of “Comedy,” Burnham is implicating The Blind Side in promoting a “white savior” narrative. The white savior trope refers to media that perpetuates an idea that non-white people need to be “saved” by white people who, while revered as honorable, are often self-serving. The Blind Side has been accused of being a white savior narrative, given its presentation of the Tuohys turning Oher’s life around.
The Blind Side was also nominated for Best Picture during the Academy Awards in 2010, but it lost to The Hurt Locker.
