Something the Lord Made

Drama, USA, 2004, 110 min.



A breakthrough that changed the face of medicine. A unique partnership that broke the rules.
Alfred Blalock (1899-1964), a cardiologist (therefore, self-confident to the point of arrogance), leaves Vanderbilt for Johns Hopkins taking with him his lab technician, Vivien Thomas (1910-1985). Thomas, an African-American without a college degree, is a gifted mechanic and tool-maker with hands splendidly adept at surgery. In 1941, Blalock and Thomas take on the challenge of blue babies and invent bypass surgery. After trials on dogs, their first patient is baby Eileen, sure to die without the surgery. In defiance of custom and Jim Crow, Blalock brings Thomas into the surgery to advise him, but when Life Magazine and kudos come, Thomas is excluded. Will he receive his due?

Komentář k filmu Krásné drama z lékařského prostředí ozvláštněné motivem rasové dsiskriminace. Nemám co vytknout. Scénář nemá díru, kterou bych zachytil, herci jsou skvělí, jimi podané role jsou mnohovstevnaté - což nepochybně nutno přičíst k dobru i režisérovi.
