This is a great movie about a medical revolution & the relationship between the two man how made it going. They invented the new field of medicine, the heart surgery. But since the one was a black man they couldn't share the victory as equals because of the segregation. This tests their collaboration & their friendship.

Boht of the leading actors do a great job, Alan Rickman & Mos Def are realy authentic & expressive all the time. The story is quiet & full of interesting details, a nice piece of work. Not a single minute boredom. Highly recommend !!!

Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman is a British stage & screen actor. Born in Hammersmith, London to a working-class family, Rickman was a graphic designer before entering the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London in the early seventies. Since then, he has been a constant presence on the British stage. He made a particular impression as the male lead in the 1985 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses & became known to television audiences playing the role of Mr Slope in the BBC s 1980s adaptation of Barchester Towers. He plays mostly period roles in British movies, while on the Hollywood screen he is typecast as the over-the-top villain. In recent years he has come to the attention of a younger audience through his appearances as the apparently-villainous Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies. Rickman has recently been immortalised in a song composed by English musician Adam Leonard. He also narrated the song Bell on the album Tubular Bells II. Posters Of Alan Rickman

An earlier generation of rappers, including Brand Nubian & De La Soul, had made some groundbreaking, thoughtful rap music. They had been replaced by gangsta rap though & Mos Def was one of the principal causes of a revival in such socially aware rap, which also involved Kweli, Common & others. He returned to acting in 2000 & has starred in Monsters Ball, Bamboozled, the 2003 remake of the The Italian Job & the 2004 film The Woodsman. Posters Of Mos Def
