something the lord made trailor

[B1ackNinja04]

Sorry to vent on a generally positive film but seriously? John Hopkins acknowledged and painted a likeness of the dog 18 years before they finally acknowledged Thomas....

[B1ackNinja04]

Great movie but I'm still disgusted by the fact that Blalock didn't publicly acknowledge Vivien's immense contributions. This really tainted a great story.

[isarah775]

First Alan Rickman movie I've been able to see where he isn't just not a villain, but is actually the hero! Alan Rickman is my role model, my inspiration, my everything! Thanks Alan!

[B1ackNinja04]

@isarah775 I wouldn't call him a saint. The way he brushed him off and took all the credit for their work seemed villainous to me...

[RAch711baby]

I was a blue baby without this man i would not be here today thank you!

[zickie2000]

This was one of the best movies ever. I own it and watch it from time to time. God Bless HBO for showing us quality movies like this and helping everyone all of the vast contributions EVERYONE has made to this nation.

[hurstUNT]

great movie

[MsFairymist]

I am a TOF baby, thanks to these guys i am here today posting a message. I had my opperation when i was 5 in the early 70's. I have not seen the film yet, but i intented to get it. I just wanted to say thankyou to Dr Blalock and Dr Thomas and there families. I live in the uk.

[PharaohII]

Just imagine all the other achievements that have been stolen by black people and claimed by whites.

[IcyScythe]

this looks good.

I gotta admit Mos Def looks great in this role... rare rapper than can act too.

[17toink]

most touching film e'er :) definitely added to my favorite movies! this film made me cry and i love it! :D very inspiring.

[PhenomenalConspiracy]

I CRIED AND IM PROUD OF IT. GOD BLESS THEM.

[NeroFirefox666]

Such a beautiful real life story told with such brilliance on screen.

[rajifusama]

in a world today where doctors use video to perform heart surgery, i really respect and admire these doctors for their discovery..just imagine how hard it can be w/o the videos to look inside the heart

[PhenomenalConspiracy]

Th best thing about this movie is that its a true story :')

[dantedantedante123]

This movie is partly what made me want to pursue a medical career. However, what won me is the realization of the beauty of the fused inticrate relationship between physiology and molecular biology--that is wonderous. This is an amazing flim but what's even more amazing is the show of triumph of human benevolence and acumen over the abhorrent sickness of institutional racism.

[nicoleca0427]

one of my favorite movies of all time, so inspiring <3

[MsKez]

one of the best made-for-tv movies ive ever seen. you dont know jack is right behind it.

[Immabeeanna]

I saw this movie today in Science because we're learning about hearts and how it works, it was an amazing movie it was touching. I recomend this movie to EVERYONE!

[MrRodolfo500]

what is the name of that song that plays on the piano?

[Pooky1991]

I think alot of rappers today act better than they rap. Mos Def is a good actor.

[xyPERSON]

@Pooky1991 After seeing his performance in 16 Blocks, I have to agree with you.

[skemsaren]

MosDef!

[PhysicsCardiology]

this is why I want to become a cardiologist :)

[rshadio]

man i cry every time i see this movie.....such great acting and very sad times for african americans in that era

[24Gucho]

Obviously, all Alan Rickman needs to do is brew the elixir of life from the sorcerer's stone...

[911467800]

my little brother had the same disease, too bad he didnt make it after surgery :(

[senyette24]

Luv da song and luv dis movie imma buy it when have dat dough !!

[contador987654321]

Eu fui também um "azul". E fiz duas cirurgias destas. Graças a estes dois senhores estou aqui. =D Já vou ver este filme, só o trailer já me arrepia.

[koreagunba]

En mi canal tengo la pelicula con buena calidad y en español (cc)

[Deiltonmota]

Como reconhecer o talento e dedicação de uma pessoa sem que a cor de sua pele interfira nesta decisão mesmo que tardia!

[octaviotube]

I found this movie while channel-surfing about 2 months ago... I just couldn't change the channel any more.

Amazing story line. Amazing Actors!

[JenniferXOXO21]

i am in love with this movie. its amazing x33

[TheWangDynasty]

watched it at school. amazing movie.

[DorMizrahi1]

amazing movie!

[tennisweet12]

I love this movie.

[stppnwlfn]

a wonderful movie!

[yesrevm]

Awesome!

[7ETRNL]

One of the best movie I ever watched, I went on the net and read the real story. Mos Def should have received an Oscar for this...

[nocountry4oldfreeman]

They don't give Oscars for Television (even TV movies), but they do have Emmys, and both Mos Def and Alan Rickman received well-deserved nominations.

[Pooky1991]

@7ETRNL If you ask me the best movies are the HBO/channel ones.

[ubermom]

The most shocking thing is that this is a TRUE story. Not a "based on a true story" story. The truth is staggering.

[liltex84]

Does anybody know what the name of the song is that plays from 1:06 to the end is?

[i77310]

Alan Rickman looks totally yummy! it's also a great film but i watched it mainly for Alan!

[buggld]

whered u watch it? please do tell

[i77310]

paid money to buy the vcd to watch lor. anyway i've been collecting his movies.

[scrabtree417]

If your ? above is legitimate, the way that cyanosis (as well as jaundice) is observed in people with darker skintones is by looking at the mucous membranes andth conjuctiva of the eye.

[busterbone]

Oh, that makes more sense. I know when I have a case of "the blues" when I put on an old John Lee Hooker or Muddy Waters record and it makes me cry like a little baby. I mean Prozac and Jack don't do nothin' when you down that low, man.

[hogwartsluv]

I luv this movie so much.

[monkemia12]

That was a really good movie!!

((:

i saw it in my ethics class.

[fatimahazzahrah]

A must-watch for ALL medical students and everybody involve in healthcare. Period.

My utmost admiration to you Vivien Thomas=).

[pGFTuv]

watched this in my biology class and i've been searching for the title! thanks a lot!!!

[snapesfan]

i am obessed with this movie and my favorite actor is in it-alanrickman. this movie is amazing and great

[thehorizonaviator]

So do I. Dr. Blalock and Thomas are my heros. I was a blue baby and their treatments saved me and now I am alive because of them. I have done whole speech on them too.

[sktbd5001]

@snapesfan Also see Gifted hands I loved that movie too.

[jhenabomb]

Vivien Thomas is my new hero and inspiration!

[akeelah94]

just finish watching the movie and it was amazing. something you can learn from

[MyLuckyLilFellow321]

I have to see this. Alan is so hott

[deejen2]

What is the song playing in the trailer?

[Sotnas]

This is a very good movie. Very sad, though. What really makes it sad is that even if you take away the race factor, what Vivien went through can still happen today to a certain extent. It's the ones who work under the doctors who do most of everything and they don't get squat for it.

[cerealkilla13]

Hello, All

I posted this video over a year ago

and well it has a personal connection with me mainly because I had a Vivian shunt :P as a baby and I did cry after watching this movie so I posted the trailor so others might watch the movie ^_^

[Yanirabotas]

@cerealkilla13 Thanks for posting this video! I'm watching the movie as I'm writing this comment. I have seen it about 8 times already and I've cried during every single one of them. What a wonderful story of dedication, sacrifice and love!

[sktbd5001]

@cerealkilla13 I love this movie its so inspiring!

[Scopps94]

[deidarawifey222]

i saw this movie in my school's computer lab and i think it is amazing! this moive touched my heart and it made me sad too. this film is wonderful and breaks the racial barrier. i recommend you watch this movie.

[dboyatcha]

Just got done watching it. Sooooo goood. Mos Def is amazing. I gotta be honest, I almost cried. It's just that good.

[somethingWICKED54]

[jonathan32382]

SOUTHERN

[CarloRotaRox]

I like this movie alot =)

[adelcopt]

I met Irving Sorkin, the original writer of the movie.

[luv2skate0]

this was a really good movie

[Blackbird96]

I love this movie! I need to buy it! Its my favorite non-Beatle-related movie ever! And thats a hight honor because almost everything I love or declare my favorite is Beatle-related. Yeah yeah yeah!

[xcandycane2011x]

I love this movie. I just finished watching it in my science class. It really shows that it doesnt matter what color or where you are from you can accomplish great things.

[jacksonjackjasen]

what is the name of the song in the background?

[tanyaahogan]

I know it's by Christopher Young so if you Google his name and the movie, perhaps that will help. =) t
