Heaven really exists: the moon in the west is rounder than in China?

I like watching movies based on real people and real things, because those stories are not so artificial and full of truth.


According to the picture, "Heaven Really Exists" obviously belongs to my dish, because it is this kind of adaptation based on real people and real things. However, after reading it, there was a bit of sourness again, and I couldn't eat the sourness of grapes. Because of our country, and their country.

"Heaven Really Exists" is actually adapted from a novel, and the writing of the novel is derived from real people and real things in reality. After a few detours, it is no longer what real people and real things originally looked like, but after all, there is a record. Just like "Dear", it's also a real person, but it's changed beyond recognition.

This is a film deeply related to religion. In fact, whether it is for believers or atheists, whether God exists is a big question. If God exists, what would he look like? No one can say it clearly. This question is brought to Buddhism to say whether the Buddha is really powerful and knows everything, but it is actually difficult to say clearly. Therefore, Buddhism simply does not advocate idolatry, but emphasizes that the heart is the Buddha. The Buddha is in everyone. In his heart, everyone can become a Buddha. This is actually a clever solution to the problem.

For Todd, the American pastor, the question still exists. Is God a physical existence, and what does he look like? As a pastor, he still has no bottom in his heart. But until one day, his three-year-old son Colton was dying in the hospital because of a ruptured cecum. He was finally rescued and eventually recovered. In the days that followed, there was no difference, and their family led a peaceful life again. But inadvertently, Colton mentioned that he had seen his grandfather, and even painted his appearance. Todd was amazed, because his father had passed away for many years, and Colton was never born at that time, and the two had never intersected. Todd showed him Grandpa Colton's sign, and Colton recognized the grandpa in the photo at a glance. This surprised Todd. What surprised Todd was that Colton also mentioned that he had floated into the air during the operation and saw the doctor performing the operation on himself, and he also saw his mother crying and complaining that God was not. Take care of yourself. A three-year-old kid said this casually, and it didn't look like a fabrication. What's more, Colton also said that he saw God, saw that God has a beautiful white horse, and let Colton sit on his lap to comfort him.

Colton said too much, so Todd had to take him to see a psychiatrist to see if he had hysteria, making up his mind, but the doctor said that Colton had no problems at all. When the media learned of Colton's near-death experiences, it was like a near-death experience, and reporters immediately gathered to dig out the story. This is a good time for Colton to become famous. If he made up a story for the sake of being famous, he could do so in front of reporters. But Colton's performance was still normal. He didn't care about the reporter's onlookers. Instead, he continued to play children's games. In his mind, swinging was much more fun than telling stories to reporters.

In the end, Todd believed that Colton had really met God when Colton told his mother in a casual conversation that he had seen his sister. Mom said it's not uncommon, and you can see her anytime. But Colton said he had two sisters, the other he saw. It was with God that the little sister with a fuzzy face hugged him and comforted him. The Todds have only two children, Colton and his sister, but Todd's wife had an abortion. What Colton said should be the kid. And because the abortion was early, the Todds didn't even know the gender of the poor child. Colton said she was an older sister, a little girl, and because she was born prematurely, she grew smaller in that world, a little pitiful. They did not tell anyone about the abortion of the Todds, nor did they mention it to Colton. Colton's description finally convinced the Todds that Colton was right. He had really been to heaven, met God, met the unborn sister, and met his grandfather. God really exists, he is by our side. At the end of the movie, a little girl also said that she had seen God and drew the image of God. Colton said that was what he saw. Two unfamiliar children met the same person, and that was God, which further confirmed that Colton had seen God.

If the above plot is the whole of the movie, it is obviously wrong again. Because the foreshadowing in front of the story is too long, the reason why the screenwriter and director did so was to turn the story around. Finally, through Todd's mouth, tell the audience that, in fact, not only Colton, but also each of us have seen heaven, because we ourselves live in heaven. Such a life itself is not full of miracles. In the child's first cry, in the courage of friends, in the hands of doctors and nurses, and in the love of parents. Haven't we already caught a glimpse of heaven? God is love. As long as we have faith and our hearts are full of love, we will not feel lonely. Faith can make us perceive God, because love is God and God is love. God is not in the imaginary heaven, but in everyone's heart. As long as you have love in your heart, you will receive God's favor and feel God's surrounding you.

After all, back to the topic of Buddhism, Buddhism allows everyone to become a Buddha, and the Buddha is in everyone's heart. Religions are actually interlinked. As long as you have faith, you will be saved. The mind is the Buddha, probably so.

However, the life of the Colton family and the life of the small town where he lives are quiet and peaceful, really like heaven. And imagine looking around us, imagining the smog, imagining the lack of freedom of words, imagining the lack of freedom of belief, and there is nothing to say. If Colton’s life is heaven, then our present, dare not say that it is hell, at least There is still a long distance from heaven. Because of the reasons you know, I won't say much about this topic.
