* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: The NCAA agent is right, and the Tuohys are exploiting Oher in order to make sure he plays for their favorite college football team. The scene where Kathy Bates lies to Oher about bodies being under the field at Neyland Stadium is disturbing on multiple levels, not least for the way it recalls the Stepin Fetchit, minstrel show-era cowardly black servant stereotype. The portrayal of Oher as ignorant and childlike has its own [[Unfortunate Implications]]. |
