Question

"Something the Lord Made"

What did it mean to you?

Come back later for details on what it meant to me.

Answer 1

SOMETHING THE LORD MADE is a moving story of men who defy the rules and start a medical revolution. Their patients are known as the "blue babies" - infants suffering from a congenital heart defect that turns them blue as they slowly suffocate.

Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) and Vivien Thomas (Mos Def) make a brilliant team. But even as they race against time to save one particular baby, the two occupy different places in society. Blalock is the white, wealthy head of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Thomas is black and poor, a skilled carpenter whose dream of going to college and becoming a doctor was ruined by the Great Depression, although he was naturally gifted with the intuition and dexterity of a great surgeon.

Even as they save lives and invent a whole new field of medicine, social pressures threaten to tear them apart. Ultimately, however, Thomas finds his dreams coming true in unexpected ways.

This movie is pretty cool and really shows me that even if there is no one to depend, God is there by my side. Really emotional and long time since I watched. Hope you will enjoy it. It showed me what a true doctor would have to me and just brought tears to my eyes as they tried to save just the life of a child. 1 thing I learnt was never give up your dream but God has his special ways of making dreams come true. This movie inspired me to become a doctor.^_^

Answer 2

This was a great movie.  To me, it shows that if you really want something, you just hae to go for it, no matter the cost or the adversity you will face.  I also liked the fact that this movie shows all of the hard work that goes into medical research.  I was personally moved by the story because I am currently in school to obtain a master's degree in the health profession field.
