A Must Have!
by C. Blount
This is, by far, one of the best movies I have ever seen. Excellent writing, directing, and acting. Even better, it is based on a true story.

Fantastic........
by jakeandchloesmom (La Crosse, WI)
Just rented this from our library the other day as I'm a big Alan Rickman fan and would probably watch him read an Olive Garden menu and be happy.But I had never seen this movie, not ever having HBO. This movie is outstanding. It's thought provoking,moving, makes you angry at times and so much more. Both Alan Rickman and Mos Def are incredible in their roles.This movie shloud have been in theaters as it's far superior to 95% of the crap that does make to the big screen. I can't recommend this highly enough.
5/5
A movie worth watching
by G. Heedum
"Something the Lord Made" challenges the viewer to recognize the racial barriers that have denied opportunities to gifted people. It reminds us that many barriers remain. This is a story about the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of personal determination. An outstanding dramatic depiction of a historical journey!

Powerful
by SUV (Clarkston, GA United States)
This is one of the best Movies I have ever seen about a true story. It should have been on the big screen, but like Malcom X, The Hurricane, the Pursuit of Happiness and so many other stories about African-American men the best ones are a secret until Now!
Something the Lord Made Summary
(Drama) Something the Lord Made tells the emotional true story of two men who defied the rules of their time to launch a medical revolution, set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow south. Working in 1940s Baltimore on an unprecedented technique for performing heart surgery on "blue babies," Dr. Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) and lab technician Vivien Thomas (Mos Def) form an impressive team. As Bl
The Emotional True Story Of Two Men Who Defied The Rules Of Their Time To Launch A Medical Revolution. Working In The 1940s Baltimore On An Unprecedented Technique For Performing Heart Surgery On 'blue Babies'. As The Men Invent A New Field Of Medicine, Social Pressures Threaten To Tear Them Apart.
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.
