Editorial Reviews:
Something the Lord Made recounts the relationship between Dr. Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) and Vivian Thomas (Mos Def). It begins in 1930s Nashville when imperious cardiac surgeon Blalock hires Thomas, an African American carpenter, as his janitor. When the latter reveals a passion for medicine and facility with surgical instruments, Blalock promotes him to lab tech. Thomas isn't given a raise, works side jobs to make ends meet, and is expected to be grateful. Along the way, he follows Blalock from Vanderbilt to Johns Hopkins, where they save thousands of lives through their pioneering work, but will Thomas ever get any credit? The film provides a satisfying answer to that question. Joseph Sargent (A Lesson Before Dying) directs with subtlety and intelligence, while Rickman and Mos Def are in top form, often underplaying where most actors would do otherwise. Something the Lord Made won the 2004 Emmy for outstanding made-for-TV movie. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Summary: Something The Lord Made
Comment: I very much enjoyed this DVD. The writer wrote it- based on a true story experience of a young african american man- who is named as one of our overcoming professional hero's and also a role model.... This DVD is "a keeper."

Summary: Human true-life hitorical drama
Comment: The story of two men - an ambitious white surgeon and a gifted black carpenter turned lab technician - who together pioneered the field of heart surgery. Great movie. Really well done drama. There's a little bit of swearing and don't watch it if you don't like watching surgery because there is a little bit.

Summary: High School Students Loved the Movie
Comment: I showed this film to my 9th grade careers research class. They loved it. I had them write an essay as to what they thought of the film. The most common theme I read was that they learned to never give up on their dreams. The film, coupled with their responses, helped me learn more about the students and myself that day. Excellent film, excellent acting, and an excellent subject.
