Synopsis

Something the Lord Made

Alfred Blalock (1899-1964), a cardiologist (therefore, self-confident to the point of arrogance), leaves Vanderbilt for Johns Hopkins taking with him his lab technician, Vivien Thomas (1910-1985). Thomas, an African-American without a college degree, is a gifted mechanic and tool-maker with hands splendidly adept at surgery.

In 1941, Blalock and Thomas take on the challenge of blue babies and invent bypass surgery. After trials on dogs, their first patient is baby Eileen, sure to die without the surgery. In defiance of custom and Jim Crow, Blalock brings Thomas into the surgery to advise him, but when Life Magazine and kudos come, Thomas is excluded.

Will he receive his due?

4/10

I found the musical choices in the film to be repetitive and predictable. The same motifs and themes seemed to be used repeatedly throughout the movie, which made the overall listening experience monotonous and unengaging. It failed to enhance the storytelling and instead became a distraction.

Anthony Roberts
7/10

The use of subtle melodies and poignant themes in the soundtrack underscores the personal struggles and triumphs of both Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, adding layers of complexity to their characters and the historical context of the film. Each musical cue feels carefully crafted to draw the audience into the narrative and evoke empathy for the challenges faced by these pioneering medical professionals.

Deborah Taylor
4/10

The instrumentation and arrangements in the soundtrack of Something the Lord Made felt dated and cliché. The use of traditional orchestral elements did not bring anything fresh or innovative to the music, resulting in a lackluster and forgettable musical score that did not leave a lasting impression.
