"Blessed Hands: Dr. Ben Carson"
is probably the best movie I've seen recently. Therefore, this time, it is no longer just words. Instead, it is eloquent. It's a real-life movie, and Carson even ran for president of the United States.

The film begins with Carson being invited to Germany to treat a pair of conjoined twins, and ends with an epic, unprecedented hemispherectomy. In the middle, Carson's childhood poverty - poor grades at the beginning of elementary school - hard work - high school - Yale - internships and the inherent difficulties of entering the workplace - eventually become the world's leading expert in pediatric neurosurgery.

As a flying crane, he lived a life of bitter cold.

Carson's father was not by his side since he was a child, and he lived in a dilapidated small apartment with his brother and his mother who worked as a cleaner and other odd jobs. In a small room, a black-and-white TV was the only companion for him in childhood, and he was helpless as a chat to pass the time after homework.

He was always laughed at by his classmates who had a better life. The
only encouragement to him was that he seemed to be true. Ordinary and great mother. The simple but powerful voice of encouragement in the film is endless. At a superficial level, it is inspirational, but in fact it is more of a mother's love. In today's age of materialistic desires and hypocrisy, the few emotions that can be unquestioned are family and parents.

"Don't care about other people, the world is full of other people"
"you can do anything anyone else can do, and you can do it better"
"knowledge is power"

for the sake of a poor life and the education of her son, the mother even had a very strong suicidal tendencies and severe depression. She repairs windows by herself, works as a cleaner, and is illiterate herself, and also learns to read at the employer's home...

She is a kind of moral character, which subtly influences the performance of this kind of influence appears many times in the film. Therefore, parents will always be their children's first mentors in study, life, morality, and personality.

At the commendation ceremony when Carson changed from a poor student to an excellent student, the school teacher's sentence to all the students "you are not trying hard enough, you should be ashamed" made the mother cry. Perhaps half of the eyes are proud and gratified, but at the same time, it is self-reproach and shame for being unable to give his son a good living condition.

Let's talk about the doctor.

There is no doubt that the biggest source of motivation for Carson to achieve the final achievement comes from his hard work and also from his professional understanding and even reverence for doctors. This is belief. Or faith.

Doctors today. I'm really out of words. 10,000 words are omitted here...

but the climax of the film is the 27-hour conjoined baby craniectomy. Those few minutes are the climax of the entire film. Brilliant. With the biblical music that appears many times in the film, I think the director has to tell us, tell the group of doctors themselves: doctors - should be holy.
These few minutes of splendor are not comparable to domestic commercial films, such as the eye-catching "Hainan Baichuan has a lot of milk" with Jinjinjia in the whole city.

When the 27-hour operation was successful, dragging his exhausted body, Carson said to the parents of the child a simple, lighthearted and humorous "which child do you want to see first", and immediately felt that this black man was born in a poor and ordinary-looking black man. Medical experts, cool. This kind of cool is not the kind of small fresh meat.

correct? Is little fresh meat cool?

Doctors must be moral first and then skillful.
It’s like if you like to go to bed first, then go to bed,
or just think about the next three
ways. The essential difference is that this

inspirational book covers family, education, values, professional ethics, belief , The blockbuster of life

I say it is blockbuster, do you have any opinion?

Five star recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
