In the 1930s, when oppression and inequality against blacks was normal, Dr. Alfred Blalock (white), one of the top tiers in the field of cardiac surgery in the United States at the time, hired Vivien Thomas ( It is a film about their relationship with black people), and it is a film based on the story of 34 years from their first meeting to the time of Johns Hopkins. The title is that Vivien's hand technique had such precision and delicacy that it was unbelievable that it was a human technique, and after witnessing the operation he performed, Dr. Blalock's fellow doctors were astonished to say - "Isn't that what the Lord did?" saying.
Dr. Alfred Blalock is a doctor who achieved a surgical solution for Blue Baby Disease at Johns Hopkins (a disease accompanied by a change in the color of the child's face and skin color to a blue state due to a congenital heart problem in a newborn child, a fatality rate) His assistant Vivien Thomas played a very important role in making this great achievement. It is said that a portrait of him was hung at Johns Hopkins to commemorate his achievements already during his lifetime. Dr. Blalock worked with Vivien Thomas right up until the day before she passed away, so their relationship, which transcends racial issues, seems to have transcended the boundaries of the world. Vivien, who was not a doctor, said Dr. After Blalock passed away, Johns Hopkins University moved to Vivien to Dr. In honor of his achievements with Blalock, Vivien was awarded an honorary doctorate, and was the first black portrait of Dr. It is said to have been hung right next to Blalock's portrait. It wasn't famous because it was originally made into a TV movie. My favorite Alan Rickman is Dr. Blalock, and Mos Jef by Dr. Played as Vivien Thomas. It's a very smooth movie, but it's a very poignant film. It's HBO Production, but there's no vulgar language or behavior.
After graduating from high school and dreaming of becoming a doctor, Vivien was a very conscientious and skillful person. However, after the Great Depression, it was not easy to find a job, so he was pushed out of his carpentry job, and eventually got a job as a janitor at a nearby university. At this time, Dr. who noticed Vivien's hand movements and his constant enthusiasm for learning. Blalock starts giving him things that were very provocative at the time. From simple cleaning, they end up doing medical-related tasks like teaching assistant class, and eventually become friends and partners who do heart surgery research together. However, as the times did not allow blacks to stand out, these two (especially Vivien) face numerous difficulties in doing surgical research together, but in the end, the two met after a 34-year partnership, friendship, and The Blue Baby. Saliza overcomes all adversity for one noble cause (mostly the hardships were on Dr. Thomas for being black).
Dr. Blalock The night before he died, Dr. Here's a conversation I had with Thomas:
Dr. Blalock: Vivian, do you know? There is a saying that a life without many regrets is not living properly. I regret... I have some regrets. But I think it's good to think about what we've accomplished and not remember what we've lost... You've saved so many lives like us, right, Vivian?
Vivien: Yes, we saved so many lives.
I think it is the right decision to choose such a film over the Post-2010 films filled only with nudity, violence, and profanity - even if it goes against the flow of the world.
