"David Malone is a science documentary filmmaker and he came to Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire. He's there at the invitation of Consultant Surgeon Mr. Francis Wells who is going to allow him to watch him perform open heart surgery. He's always wanted to see the beating human heart, that thing within us that keeps us alive. The heart is unlike any other organ in the human body. It has its own rich language and poetry. Throughout history, it has been a potent symbol in our religion, literature, and philosophy.

It has been seen as the site of our emotions, the very center of our being. But modern medicine has come to see the heart as just a pump, a brilliant pump, but nothing more. And we view ourselves, as ruled by our heads and not our hearts. And yet, there's something about the heart that makes David wonder whether there is more to it than this. So he wants to explore the story of the heart. . . ."

Listen to your heart. 🙏

Interesting discussion comments (toward bottom of page): documentarystorm.com/hearts...

.

Found this comment from 'Bramski' (to 'PseudoSurfer') particularly insightful:

"I think people may be missing the subtlety of the message here. The maker isn't trying to propose that the heart is some sort of competition for the brain in terms of governing emotions, but that, on a neurological level, it has some kind of partially symbiotic relationship and potential influence on the brains ability to experience emotions, particularly empathy (possibly the most important in regard to 'civilisation'), as demonstrated at the end.

I think the scientific evidence of the potential for dying of a broken heart and showing that the heart has a "mini brain" in the form of significant numbers of neural cells provides a credible enough basis to table a philosophical question of whether the connection between the brain and the heart is a two way street. The tone does possibly skirt a little too close to declaring this as a fully resolved fact which is slightly controversial, but all areas of research were sketchy in their infancy and in any case, I believe the real intention of this film is to use the collection of individual scientific researches to flesh out and lend colour to theories about the connection between mind and body which are often overlooked if not shunned in western medicine and culture, but are undeniable on certain levels.

The film makes several references to the poetry of the heart and I think that is actually what it is, a poetic and spiritual exploration of human nature and what it means to feel. Perhaps the extent of truth-assertion was slightly misguided, but just because an idea may not be 100% provable or totally rooted in hard tangible fact does not mean it lacks merit. No one can see, touch or categorically define a soul yet most people subscribe in some way to the concept of it.

The film maker has an obvious personal connection to the ideas presented and I suspect the project was partly a way to confront and exorcise demons on a painful aspect of his life. This itself reveals the vulnerability we all face which in turn speaks about what it means to be human, to feel, and critically is something we can all empathise with. That confounding quality of empathy, is a beguiling, altruistic part of our nature and something that I feel the film itself seeks not necessarily to explain, but to understand and therefore warrants acknowledgement. To criticise this film as a documentary is, I believe, to misunderstand its objective.

Or maybe my pump's just misfiring.."
