Gifted hands review

Rather than settling in to a life believing he was inferior, underprivileged and discriminated against, Ben looked to God for help and became an astounding example, not just for black children, but also for everyone. The people who made this movie are to be commended for so clearly showing that God has the cure for self-doubt, anger and prejudice. It is the true story of a black child raised by a single mother who constantly encouraged him to use his God-given gifts. He grows from being a poor student to the top of his class and then to become a world-famous neurosurgeon. It would be hard not to be inspired by this movie. As the story begins, Ben played by Cuba Gooding, Jr. The movie then flashes back to show when Ben as a child played by Jaishon Fisher was such a poor student he failed to get a single answer right on a test. He is unmercifully ridiculed by his white classmates, one of whom he hits in the mouth. She also limits their television viewing and requires them to read. At an awards ceremony, his success is recognized, but a teacher berates his white classmates for letting a black child from a broken home do better than them. Ben begins to rebel.

In fact it was my son-in-law who lent me the book.

Sign In. Hide Spoilers. The Ben Carson Story never set out to a major film: this is obviously a film that appealed to Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr and he plays it very straight, and underacts, without underplaying. As I am deeply fascinated by all things neurological this was a really easy film for me to get into - but even if you have no real interest, the human side of this will really sideswipe you. It is incredibly and really frustratingly slow in places, but bear with me - the surgeries are amazing and very moving. Overall I'm giving this a 9, not for the production writing filming or direction which are at best 6 or 7 at most, but because films like this deserve to be made, should be made, and should be what we want to be made

Biography of Ben Carson who grew up to be Dr. The last line of the narrative proper, "My wife, my sons -- they are the most important part of my life" -- have almost nothing to do with the story he's told up to that point, or the choices he's made. So, Ben Carson's story continues to inspire me regardless of my thoughts. I love the fact that he was willing to take a risk and perform a dangerous surgery when he was just an intern because there was no one else to do it. The black teenage gang member is also depicted as the kind that holds fellow blacks back by berating those who strive for excellence for trying to be white. He tells the earliest years to a 4 star level and also the separation operations on the babies to nearly a 5. Just sent out and email to friends and family to make sure they don't miss it.

My second reason for finding him interesting is that my son-in-law is in residency for neurosurgery and everyone tell me neurosurgeons are mean, so I wanted to find out what a neurosurgeon's life is really like.

It boasts near-flawless direction from Thomas Carter, a vivid teleplay adaptation by John Pielmeier and uniformly magnificent performances, particularly from star Cuba Gooding Jr. The surgical procedures are showcased in all of their bloody glory, but not so much as to cross the line into gratuitousness.

After sharing about the movie with our dear friends, whose child had sustained a brain injury as an unborn, we were amazed to discover that this is the Dr who performed surgery on their child shortly after the twins from Germany.

Carson, but nevertheless made a great contribution to medicine that is still being used today. It is an incredible story of someone who not had the 'gifted hands' needed to be a great surgeon but also the determination, humility and faith to make a life of great service to his fellow humans against great odds. Why do we fault others? I don't exactly blame them for the saddest of all things is that schools don't bother teaching about mastering EQ.
