Wrong Answer To Waterloo Question
In the movie, Michael Oher was told to get his academics in order if he wanted to get into the Wingate Christian School. There was even a sequence showing him taking a history exam, though something was not right about the details here. As the camera pans over the scene, you can get a glimpse of a question regarding the Battle of Waterloo. In particular, it asks where it took place. If you look at the top, you can see Michael said it happened in Germany and the answer was marked correct! However, it actually took place in a former territory of the Netherlands that now belongs to Belgium.
That Should Not Have Been There
When a film is shot not long after the setting, it might seem as if there was nothing that changed in the real world. Because of this, there are several details that get overlooked by the production team. A good example would be the recruiting office scene when Tom Lemming receives a DVD about Michael Oher. It rested on top of a magazine with a cover page showing Bryce Brown in the Army All-American game in 2009. This should not have been there as The Blind Side took place in 2003 to 2004 and Bryce Brown was only a young boy then!
