I usually save the positive thoughts about the movies I watch for the end, but this time I saw a great movie that starts with a very good definition of miracle.... And the movie ends with a broader definition of miracle. Between the beginning and the end they visualize the miracle.
The movie is a 2016 production; Miracles From Heaven
One of the most difficult tests for a parent is when their child is tested. The test becomes even more difficult when this test takes place with a terminal illness.
In such situations, as human beings, we raise the question "why me?" in our minds and constantly question our lives.
I made a mistake somewhere and God is punishing me through my child.
Most people who have been believers up to that point do this self-examination. At the end of the questioning, if we can't find fault with the individual, we begin to blame others and eventually lose our faith.
The movie is about the life of Christy Beam (played by Jennifer Garner) who is a believer and raises her 3 daughters in accordance with her faith, but after the illness of her daughter Anna (played by Kylie Rogers), she questions whether God really exists.
At some point we all believe, but whether that point comes while we are alive or after we die is a question that will remain a mystery!
During Anna's treatment, Dr. Nurko's character (played by Eugenio Derbez) was excellent in his acting and attitude towards his patients. I liked his acting, knowing how to be an adult with adults and a child with children, with a heart full of love but professionalism in fulfilling his duty.
There are small and big miracles in every life. Somehow they happen, sometimes they make themselves felt, sometimes they choose to remain behind the veil of mystery. We don't know them all, but somehow they happen.
I highly recommend watching the movie, but I think you will enjoy it more if you combine the way the miracle is described at the beginning and the way the miracle is described at the end. Already in the last scenes they give hints about how the little miracles happen and I think it adds extra viewing pleasure to the movie.
Sometimes it's good for the soul to get emotional and shed some tears. When you watch Miracles From Heaven, make sure you have a few dry tissues with you because the tears will come spontaneously!
And you will feel a sense of relief with the way the miracle happens. I think it is worth watching the movie and the time spent to experience all these emotions.
I hope that no one will be tested with their own child and no one will have to put their child in the grave with their own hands during their lifetime! May the miracles that surrounded Anna somehow touch the lives of all those in need and may what happened to Anna happen to them too!
