神迹

斯内普教授终于绝望了。他知道在那个老奸巨猾的校长手下，自己永远也不可能当上黑魔法防御术这门课的老师了。怎么办？转行吧。幸亏还有一点魔药学的老底子，去麻瓜世界干个医生什么的还是有把握的。到了麻瓜世界之后教授才发现事情没有这么简单。麻瓜的病不能用魔法治，所以很多原先只要轻轻挥下魔杖就能治好的外科病反而是最麻烦的，而那些用的上魔药的病麻瓜压根得不了——体质对不上号。所以教授就开始腆着丫那张木了吧唧的脸开始在麻瓜世界研究不用魔杖做手术的治病方法——其实教授每次开刀都会用神锋无影咒，没别的，顺手。斯内普还顺手发掘了一助手，你看一高中水平的黑鬼都能叫我调教成医术高手，可见哈利波特这小子压根就是一白痴，净随他白痴老爹了，他妈的好处一点没随上。斯内普最终功成名就，魔法界失去的，麻瓜界补回来。可见树挪死人挪活的话说的没错~

非常推荐的一部电影，在那个种族歧视年代，两位医生结下深厚的友谊。黑人医生维维安一天医学院没去过，却对心脏外科手术做出了卓越的贡献，被排斥在正门外的霍普金斯研究院最终授予荣誉博士学位，取得了骄人的成就和同行的敬仰，由此感触机会对每个人都是均等的，关键是你是做好准备没有，当机会来临时能否抓，执着坚持，甘于孤独，忍辱负重，坚持梦想，最终成功将属于你。

故事叙述得极其精彩，每个场景都紧紧抓住你，同时又能把故事往前推进。
影片也展现出男人巍峨成功所需付出：忍受非议、和最合适的人合作、找到自己的专长、激情、勇往直前。

背景资料：
维文·托马斯得到的是荣誉法学博士，但霍普金斯医院许可员工和学生称维文为医生。
In 1976, Johns Hopkins University presented Thomas with an honorary doctorate. However, because of certain restrictions, he received an Honorary Doctor of Laws, rather than a medical doctorate, but it did allow the staff and students of Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine to call him doctor. Thomas was also appointed to the faculty of School of Medicine as Instructor of Surgery.
阿尔佛雷德·布雷拉克在霍普金斯医院：
When Blalock was offered Chief of Surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1941, he requested that his assistant Vivien Thomas come along with him. They formed a very close relationship that would last more than thirty years. Together, they developed a shunt technique to bypass coarctation of the aorta. While they were working on this, Helen Taussig presented him with the problem of the blue baby syndrome - a congenital heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot which results in inadequate oxygenation of the blood. The shunt and operation they developed not only directly saved thousands of lives, it marked the start of the modern era of cardiac surgery, as it was the first successful surgery on the human heart of the modern medical era. As of 2004, doctors in the United States alone perform over 1.75 million heart operations annually.

Blalock retired from Hopkins in 1964, just two and a half months before his death.
维文·托马斯和·布雷拉克的关系：
Blalock's approach to the issue of Thomas's race was complicated and contradictory throughout their 34-year partnership. On the one hand, he defended his choice of Thomas to his superiors at Vanderbilt and to Hopkins colleagues, and he insisted that Thomas accompany him in the operating room during the first series of tetralogy operations. On the other hand, there were limits to his tolerance, especially when it came to issues of pay, academic acknowledgment, and his social interaction outside of work.

After Blalock's death from cancer in 1964 at the age of 65, Thomas stayed at Hopkins for 15 more years. In his role as director of Surgical Research Laboratories, he mentored a number of African-American lab technicians as well as Hopkins' first black cardiac resident, Dr. Levi Watkins, Jr., whom Thomas assisted with his groundbreaking work in the use of the Automatic Implantable Defibrillator.

Thomas' nephew, Koco Eaton, graduated from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, trained by many of the same physicians his uncle had trained. Eaton trained in orthopedics and is now the team doctor for the Tampa Bay Rays.

总觉得这样一部影片应该会很有名才对，或者说应该被很多人知道。电影不是震撼级别的电影，但会给看过的人留下很深的印象，被影片里鲜明的人物形象和情感色彩所感染。Blalock和Thomas亦敌亦友的突破种族陈旧观念的情感是一条特殊的线。Blalock自负且富余野心，Thomas踏实又耐心，这两种截然不同的性格，因为共同的信仰结合在了一起。影片最后，Thomas站在自己和Blalock的画像前，感慨万千，泪湿眼眶。我想他是想起了从自己第一次见到Dr.Blalock的情景以及他们之后的故事。从创伤性休克到蓝婴，他们一起进行着一次又一次的突破。我想Blalock 对Thomas是依赖的，只是他不愿意承认；Blalock 对Thomas也是愧疚的，不然他也不会在最后乘电梯时说到I have some regret.而Thomas对Blalock是尊敬崇拜而又感激的，这应了最后Thomas的感谢词里说道的“to all my friends who could not be here.”他们之间的感情，用一个片段能概括：“你觉得如何？我觉得很棒。”这段对话后，刚结识不久的俩人第一次相视而笑。
