This was the most interesting, superbly written and best movie I have seen in years. Mos Def was wonderful as Dr. Vivian Thomas and Alan Rickman was brilliant as well. I would recommend this to everyone to see.

This should be required viewing for all of America. This movie provides a clear example of how the talent of those considered "less than" has been squandered and continues because of non-sensical racism.

I thought this was an amazing story. It brought something intensly personal to me because I actually had open-heart surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital when I was a year old. I never realized how relatively new this procedure that saved my life was, and the sacrifices it took.I would definitely reccomend this movie to anyone looking for an important and moving story.

I must say that Mos Def did an excellent job with this part. It really surprised me because I had not seen him play any serious parts. Eventhough this was based on a true story, he made it very believable. I recommend that everyone see this movie, especially if you are a Mos Def fan.

Mos Def just keeps getting better. A brilliant artist on the mic and silver screen...a rare find!

The story of the development of the revolutionary heart surgery that saved the "Blue Babies". Alan Rickman shows yet another aspect of his acting talent as the surgeon who pioneered the medical breakthrough and Mos Def is brilliant as the assistant who perfected the procedure. Two strong men of different races endure in a post-WWII society.

I have worked for Johns Hopkins University for 17 years and saw the filming of the movie on the Homewood Campus. It was very intriguing to see the way the campus was 'dressed' up to look like the 50s and 60s, so different from today. Seeing all the Baltimore sites in the film, is deja vu for me when you see all the filming that is done in Baltimore, MD. I am familiar with Dr. Blalock but did not know he had an 'assistant' who worked for him. The movie was very well done and very interesting as well.

This movie was of special interest to me as I have a congenital heart defect. I did not know the history of congenital heart repair and it was wonderful to watch how they, Dr. Blaylock and Mr. Thomas, put their heads together to figure out how to do the repair. And thank God they did for they saved many babies lives. The story was just so amazing, but it was sad to see how Mr. Thomas was treated during that time. I highly recommend this movie.

While this movie ísn't the light-hearted comedy...it is a truly inspirational movie that left me speechless. It is a movie one would want to watch again and again and is truly a beautiful story. While the story is about a great medical discovery the ruby lies within the relationship between a black man and a white man. It tells the tale of how black people were treated than and is truly inspiring.
