Movie Reviews of Something the Lord Made
Movie Review: One Of My Favorite Moveis!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this movie on Netflix and wanted to see it again. My husband said why not just order the DVD and Amazon is always my first stop for everything. I was so excited Amazon had this movie because this movie is at the top of my favorite movie list.
Shows us how far we've come and how far we've yet to go in this country. But I'm so grateful for people who persevered through this horrible era in this country. It cannot be ignored and we can't wish it away. It is a part of American History although the history books do not show this side, it's a harsh reality of who this country really is.
To all the men and women who've made historical contributions to this country, black and white. We salute you all!! It's simply a very sad thing that most Black contributions are often swept under the rug and movies sheds light on one of those contributions! And I am so proud!
Movie Review: Something the Lord Made
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved Alan Rickman as an actor, so I knew this film would be enjoyable for me from the beginning. However, Mos Def is who really impressed me in this movie. Talk about a superb performance. I really can't believe that this film didn't earn any serious awards because it should have.
This true story is so moving and uplifting. It brings to light just how the Lord really does choose to do his work through the people on this earth -- everyday, unassuming and unique individuals. You cannot watch this movie and not be inspired of that.
Having had my dad go through major brain surgery, hearing this story also made me appreciate the advances of medical technology within our own lifetime, that there is now hope when there once was none.
If you watch movies to care about the story and the characters, this is one you cannot pass up. I guarantee your heart will soar and you'll never forget about it.
Movie Review: Must See Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see movie for everyone, especially young children. Mos Def did an excellent job portraying Dr. Vivien Thomas. This movie takes you through a series of emotions as you watch it. Vivien Thomas is only one of many African Americans who never received the proper recognition they deserved because of the times they lived in. It seems only right for America to right all the wrong done to African Americans like Dr. Vivien Thomas and honor them for their accomplishments and contributions to society. Some of the simple pleasures we enjoy today are possible because of the knowledge, inventions and hard work of citizens like Dr. Thomas. The color of our skin does not define the person or make them inferior. This has been proved over and over and Dr. Viven Thomas is the perfect example. My hat goes off to all the actors involved in this movie. I am definitely adding it to my library Excellent jobMovie Review: The title says it all.
Summary: 5 Stars
The pride that I felt in watching this movie was off the chart. The chemistry between the two principal actors was convincing. To see the love and loyalty that they maintained for each other makes one want to believe in the possibility for humanity worldwide. Mos Def & Alan subliminally penetrated racial boundaries/attitudes by continously staying focused on the mission. There was nothing new about Black people not getting "timely" recognition nor just compensation regarding accomplishments, but the eventual recognition of placing credit where it belongs does my heart well. I consciously gave my 4 book purchases as Holiday presents because DIGNITY, PURPOSE and the recurring quest for KNOWLEDGE is something we can all learn from, even if racial awareness/respect is something that we are not currently interested in. A GREAT JOB WAS DONE IN THE STORY OF DRS. BLAYLOCK AND VIVIAN THOMAS.Movie Review: Humility in combating with both sides of the race card
Summary: 5 Stars
Granted...I am white...LOL...yeah I know I don't need to say that normally...but this is crucial!!! I had to watch this movie several times for a series of papers I had to write for my Organizational Behavior course for my business degree. The first time through I was so moved and touched by the presentation of both sides of the race card that I was crying and looking on in intent interest. Both sides were presented well, the view from the white dominant side and the black submissive side. This movie portrayed the civil rights era in the medical film rather well. I have seen quite a few films on the racism issue, but from a Christian perspective this movie was on top of them all, along with the Vernon Johns Story. Definately a movie I will keep in my collection to pass on to my kids and share with others along the way.
