After finishing 'America The Beautiful' just a few days ago I noticed that 'Gifted Hands' was on BET as I was scrolling my cable TV provider's station guide. The film began about 20 minutes before I selected it.
There were several times I had seen Dr. Carson on TV and was very impressed. After reading 'America The Beautiful' I felt we had the wrong black president in office.
Now, to the film: Cuba Gooding, Jr. is a brilliant actor who resembles Dr. Carson and plays the role in an outstanding manner. He speaks softly and calmly, like Dr. Carson. His voice tone is very similar to Dr. Carson's, but is different in other Gooding films. That's why he's a great actor.
The supporting cast was brilliant, the story-line concise; the film went by too quickly, which, to me means it was very good.
I will check the book 'Gifted Hands' out of the library because I am sure to gain more insight into Dr. Carson's life. I read his bio on Wikipedia, for example, and it doesn't mention his wife's duo still-birth. I'm sure I'll learn more by reading his other books.
I cannot reasonably find anything socially or politically, Dr. Carson has to say that I disagree with - in fact, like him, I am an independent who strongly advises anyone to see this film and read his books, regardless of whether you agree with his philosophy of life.
