Miracles From Heaven” shares the same producers as that last film, as well as some of the same redemptive, inspirational ideas and the real- life hook. It’s based on
the 2015 memoir of the same name by Christy Beam, whose daughter, Anna, suddenly suffered from a rare intestinal disorder —and then, just as suddenly, was cured in the craziest of ways.
Set in Burleson, Texas, in 2011, the film centers on a 10-year-old girl named Anna Beam, daughter of Christy Beam. Upon checking at the local hospital, they find no signs of illness but say it's "acid reflux" or "lactose intolerance", but Christy is not convinced by this. She finally finds a pediatrician in a local Texas hospital that is able to diagnose Anna with an abdominal obstruction, and he tells them he must operate immediately or she will die. Though they had hoped this would repair the problem, the doctor explains that Anna has been left with pseudo-obstruction motility disorder and she is unable to eat, so feeding tubes are needed for her nutrition. The doctor then tells the Beams about America's foremost pediatric gastroenterologist, Dr. Nurko, who practices in Boston, but explains it could take months for them to be seen. Christy and Anna travel to Boston despite not having an appointment with the doctor.
The doctor has a last minute opening, and when Anna is subsequently examined at Boston Children's Hospital, the extent of her chronic illness is found. She then goes through extensive treatment. During this ordeal, Anna and her mother befriend a local Massachusetts resident named Angela, as well as Ben and his sick daughter, Haley. One day, Anna along with one of her sisters climb up to a very high branch of a old tree. When they are on that branch, it starts breaking so that Anna goes to the trunk for safety where upon stepping onto it, she falls in a hole to the base of the tree. Upon being told, her mom desperately calls her husband as well as the firefighters. Anna is then rescued by the firefighters, who warn her mom to expect the worst by saying that nobody could fall 30 feet without sustaining serious injury; broken bones or paralysis. Once out Anna is airlifted to an hospital where a battery of tests are run on her and one after the other come back negative. Other than a minor concussion Anna is unhurt. Some time after the fall, Anna seems a new girl playing around without any pain due to her illness. When Christy and Anna go to an appointment with Dr. Nurko, he tells Christy that Anna is miraculously cured. Anna then recounts her parents about her experience while unconscious after the fall, during which her soul gets out of her body and she goes up to heaven where she feels like she talks to God, who promises her He will heal her when she goes back to earth. At church, Christy shares the story of how God miraculously healed her through love. As Christy finishes her speech, one of the congregation protests, stating that she does not believe Christy. Ben, who traveled from Boston upon hearing the story about Anna, believes her and tells her that his daughter Haley died peacefully because Anna gave her faith earlier when in the hospital.
Much of what makes the film work is its emotionally demanding performance from the ever-accessible Jennifer Garner. She gets a big arc to work within, revealing warmth and vulnerability, grit and determination as Christy. She asks all the existential questions any of us would in the midst of such a faith-testing trauma. Faith is, of course, the crucial component here: the mystery of it, the need for it and—ultimately—the validation of it. From the title alone, it’s clear that faith will win out in the end. But the journey there takes some turns that feel (mostly) honest and true, which should make the movie universally relatable despite the unique and specific troubles the Beam family faced. Bring tissues. Because whether you’re the faithful target audience for “Miracles From Heaven,” a non -believer or someone in the mass agnostic middle ground, you may find it hard to hold back the tears during various points in this real-life tale. And they’ll be earne For those people who don’t believe in God, it is can make them believe that God is not dead. This whole film tell us about the strong of a woman who believe that Miracle will happened for people who believe in him. Garner act in this movie totally blown away every people who giving doubtness for her. She had change their mind with her acted.
Then, Anna beam as the main character is totally inspire every single people in this world that had give up with their life, she tell them that no matter what as long as you believe that God is on your side you will be okay. This movie is obviously recommend for people who love drama movie that is so inspire,there is a lot of moral message that we can take from this film. Also, the music in this film is so enjoyable to listen . Carlo Siliotto who makes the music is so smart the song is not out of date, the lyric is meaningful, and it describe all of the film need. Perharps, is not the best movie but I believe this is one of the best cristian movie that had ever released.
