The
enriching life of Dr. Benjamin Carson has been immortalized in a movie.
The
movie is based on the book Gifted Hands: The story of Ben Carson written
by Carson and Cecil Murphey about the pediatric neuro-surgeon at John Hopkins,
Baltimore.
The
movie starts with the 1987 birth of siamese twins in Ulm City, West Germany.
The parents were told the twins were joined on their heads after a scan. The
Rauchs (played by) refused an abortion and killing on child since they loved
them both.
The
twenty two hours operation became the first separation of twins worldwide done
by Dr, Ben Carson (Cuba Gooding Jr.)
Dr.
Ben Carson grew up in the ghettos of Detroit from wielding knives to a renowned
worldwide surgeon by wielding a scalpel.
From
a dummy at the bottom of his fifth grade class Carson raised himself by
dedication to God, extensive reading books and thinking positive amongst other
tributes.
Thomas
Carter, The producer and director has done a great job in summarizing the
original book. The ground breaking surgery work by Carson is captured by the
separation of the Rausch twins.
On
the other hand Gooding Jr make up makes him resemble Dr. Carson in real life.
