A lot of people had a great time watching The Blind Side and its list of fans ranged from the casual movie-goers to the most well-known critics. It did not only make waves at award ceremonies like the Oscars and the Golden Globes, but it was also a major career milestone for Sandra Bullock. Let’s not forget that it broke records at the box office! Can you believe that all of these achievements were made on a relatively low budget of right under $30 million? It raked in way more than that – $309.2 million, if you want to be specific! Thanks to the ginormous profit it made, the movie went on to become the highest grossing sports flick in history!

For most viewers, the most memorable moment of the film would be the Thanksgiving sequence. The Tuohy family gathered at a crowded table to enjoy a rich meal together. Everything looked ideal down to the turkey bathed in the soft glow of the lights. However, a closer look will reveal something else. If you consider yourself an art nerd, you might have noticed a subtle Easter egg. As Leigh Anne set the turkey on the table, a replica of a famous Norman Rockwell painting called “Freedom from Want” can be seen. This could or could not have been coincidental. Regardless, it was a beautiful moment that captured the essence of family togetherness. Props to the team!
