I've never had a movie make me cry after Titanic like the way Miracles from heaven* did. And to think that it is a movie also based on a true life story. Seeing the topic for this week's contest here on cine tv and remembering my choice movie for the contest, did nothing but send emotions and goosebumps running through my spine.
You know when you go through something and then you see a movie that tell that similar story and you get to know that the movie was made based on a true life event. It just feels like you understand all that the character goes through. Although it's just an act, you somehow tend to feel the characters' pain and emotions. I can't forget the scene where Anna cries out in pain "I want to die, I want to go to heaven". That part had the tears flowing like a stream. And somehow she did go to heaven although I wouldn't tell if she died or it was a trance. But that powerful scene is sure to bring tears to the eyes of even the most hardened of viewers.

Cast..
The cast of the film did outstandingly well in portraying their characters, with Jennifer Garner giving a heartfelt performance as Anna's mother, Christy Beam. Garner's acts as a loving and dedicated mother who will stop at nothing to save her daughter. She displayed emotions like love, sacrifice, and pain.
Kylie Rogers, who plays the character Anna, is also a natural born talent and brings a genuine innocence and vulnerability to the role. In Fact I wouldn't want a better character than her. She brought the character to life. The pain in her eyes, the hurt in her words felt so real.
Martin Henderson, who plays Anna's father, Kevin Beam, is also very convincing in his portrayal of a man struggling with the pain of watching his daughter suffer. The rest of the cast also performs admirably, adding to the film's overall impact.
The stars did an excellent job of portraying the struggles of the Beam family, also the hope and inspiration that comes from their faith.
The production of the film is top-notch, with the film's cinematography being one of its strongest points. The film is visually stunning, capturing the beauty of the rural Texas setting in which it takes place. The film's musical score is also noteworthy, beautifully adding to the emotional impact of the film's key scenes. Let's not forget the special effects used to recreate Anna's vision of heaven are well done, and serve to further emphasize the film's message of hope and inspiration..
To be honest with you al, there is absolutely no way you would see this movie "Miracles from Heaven" without picking one or two lessons. The lessons l learned from the film are many and varied. But somehow the most important lesson one can pick out quickly is that hope and faith can help us overcome even the most difficult of challenges. "Miracles from Heaven" teaches us that miracles do happen, and that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times. And it did also reinforce the importance of family, as the Beam family's love and support for one another is one of the key elements that helped them pass through such difficult situations.
