Something the Lord Made

This is a very substantial, poignant movie about the radical change-in-thinking and experimentation preceding the first-ever heart surgery. Did everyone except me know that the beating human heart was NEVER to be touched. Excellent casting and acting. Now one of my favorite movies.

great film

mos def did a great job in this film. this is one of my favorite movies because it shows how one black man rose above the odds to do something with his life and follow his dreams. although it took years for him to receive credit he did in the end. great film.

One Of Rickman's BEST, and that is Saying Something...

The plot is incredible, and other reviewers have covered that aspect quite well. The performances are beyond compare. If you know Rickman's work, you realize he is known for having one of the best voices in the world, combined with intelligence and excellence in every scene. Never once, in this film, do you doubt he is an American from the South. I was a huge fan before I purchased this. I was amazed that this was the same man. This film illustrates that the quality and depth of his ability has not yet been fully showcased.

Rickman becomes the characters he plays - they do not become him. Acting is defined as the art of reacting. Alan Rickman defines excellence in this film. It is worth viewing again and again, both for the message and for the performances.
