Den Himmel gibt's echt (2014)
47KDen Himmel gibt’s echt: Directed by Randall Wallace. With Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, Thomas Haden Church, Connor Corum. A small-town father must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.
“I read the book and really liked it, gave me plenty to think about. But in all honesty I couldnu0026#39;t imagine they would be able to make a good movie out of this. I was certain it would end up overly sentimental or artificial or that it simply would not live up to the book. However, they did it – hence the surprise. This movie IS the book brought to life on the big screen. The casting is superb. Greg Kinnear is the ideal father, Kelly Reilly is fine as the mom, and how they managed to find the perfect child to portray Colton Burpo is amazing. Connor Corwin is so natural and likable, he is wonderful in the role . This movie is not preachy. It does not tell the audience what to believe or not to believe. Like the book, it gives those of us who believe further evidence that weu0026#39;re on the right track. But for those in doubt, it gives you plenty to think about and leaves you with questions you must work out for yourself. It just might leave you with hope and the courage to think there might be something to this belief in Jesus and Heaven. All in all, this is a splendid movie and Iu0026#39;d recommend it, and the book, whole-heartedly.”
