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.

Gifted Hands will transplace you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world, and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others. In , Dr. Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head -- an extremely complex and delicate operation that was five months of planning and twenty-two hours of actual surgery, involving a surgical plan that Carson helped initiate. Gifted Hands reveals a man with humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity who serves as a role model for young people and everyone else in need of encouragement to attempt the seemingly impossible and to excel in whatever they attempt.

I'm dnfing it this time because I want to hold onto those beautiful memories instead.

Based on the true story of a world renown Pediatric Neurosurgeon, this story tells how one young man overcomes many obstacles to prove that with faith and encouragement anything is possible. Raised in a time when prejudices were voiced at every turn, this young man shows that you can get beyond any challenge if you want to, though hard work. Kids making fun of boy; boy punches another, boy calls his brother dummy; mother discusses thoughts of suicide, boy buys knife, boy fights with mother and threatens her with hammer, boy loses temper; boy tries to stab another with knife, bloody sheets on a bed. Mother lies to sons as to where she is going; woman makes a racial statement; boy is disrespectful toward mother; doctor makes racial slur to young doctor; scenes of operation room with blood and internal body parts.

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 Good, Moving, and Inspirational

He was secure in whom God had created him to be, and I believe that was his greatest foundation to all his success. Why do we fault others? There were a few times that bothered me a little, but he does give credit to God for everything, which shows he really is humble.
