There are two ways to live life: a, as if nothing were a miracle; and the other, Instead, as if everything were a miracle (VIDEO: film trailer ”Miracles from heaven”)

(AUTOMATIC READING)
Miracles from heaven (Miracles from heaven) is the cinematic transposition of the autobiographical text Miracles from heaven, written by Christy Beam, hero, together with his family, of this incredible story. Directed by Patricia Riggen, the film stars Jennifer Garner, Martin Henderson, Kylie Rogers, Queen Latifah ed Eugenio Derbez.
THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE BEAM FAMILY
The story of the Beam family is undoubtedly incredible. And this incredible perhaps deserves to be rethought and reworked personally, internally, from each, beyond the “simple” watching the film. Having said that, one cannot help but agree that something absolutely improbable occurred in Dallas a few years ago.
Christy (Jennifer Garner) e Kevin Beam (Martin Henderson) they lead a peaceful life, they have three beautiful little girls, they live in a harmonious family atmosphere and are part of a religious community [Protestant] which can be said to be their second family. This “happy little corner” However, it begins to crumble when one of the daughters, Annabel (Kylie Rogers), is diagnosed with a rare digestive disorder that, it also supports the most accredited doctor, It is not currently curable. Despite the countless attempts made by his mother, it seems that only a miracle can save the little girl's life.
E, Perhaps, there was something similar. One day, Indeed, while he is climbing a tree in the garden with his two sisters, Annabel suddenly falls, banging his head. Given the violence of the fall, his parents and friends fear the worst and pray strongly for his life. Ma, when the little girl wakes up, what doctors and parents will see before their eyes will be a real one… “miracle”.
FAITH AS LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, UNCONDITIONAL GIFT
Miracles from Heaven stages and investigates, without any “true claim”, the deep feelings that run through and pervade a family that, severely tested by the illness of a daughter, look for the way and the strength to react, to not give up and continue to believe. And he does it in a genuine way, showing us the trust and the act of faith but also the doubts of a mother who, no matter how deeply a believer, it fails, in a moment of such great pain and desperation, to feel close to what she has always believed in. A mother who, in the face of her daughter's suffering, he wonders where God has gone, that good and merciful God who now accepts and allows all this. Christy confesses to her husband that she can no longer find comfort in faith, of not even being able to pray anymore, the pain is so great.
Nevertheless, in the end it will be Christy herself who claims the presence of God, of something stronger, less obvious but more profound, There are often many little things that make every day, somehow, miraculous. It's all about knowing them (ac)seize, in knowing how to see them and opening up to accept them: “Albert Einstein said there are two ways to live life: a, as if nothing were a miracle; and the other, Instead, as if everything were a miracle. I certainly wasn't living my life as if everything were a miracle. And I was wrong. Miracles are everywhere. Miracles are altruism; sometimes they manifest themselves in the most unexpected ways thanks to people who cross our lives, or thanks to friends who remain by our side in any situation. Miracles are love”.
This is how Miracles from Heaven actually shows itself as a hymn to life, to enjoy the small but great gifts that it offers us, however also showing the concrete – because it is human – difficulty in continuing to believe in it when it itself seems to take it away from us by testing us.
A film of feelings but also a concrete reflection on the abyss that looms beneath every act of faith, of belief, of love, showing the necessary courage, the inevitable figure of unawareness, Of “I gamble”, at times unconscious. Faith, said Kierkegaard, it's a jump: it knows no mediations, logical, rationality. Faith is the ultimate risk, because they let the other precede themselves, decide in us about ourselves and ours “destination”. Faith is the potentially mortal risk of letting oneself be constituted by the other. Ma, without it, life becomes mere calculation, control attempt doomed to failure. Because faith as openness to others constitutes us, it gives us shape, and gives us life.
Here then Christy's message shows itself precisely as a hymn to this opening, at the risk of feeling, of faith as love, friendship, dono. And Miracles from Heaven appears to be a thoughtful but not pedantic film, strong but not excessive.
ENGAGING SCREENPLAY
Randy Brown's screenplay and Patricia Riggen's direction have the merit of making the story close to the viewer, involving him within an emotional labyrinth that feels close to him as it is extremely human, free from abstractions or less than credible idealizations.
The absolutely convincing interpretation of Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson, but also of little Kylie Rogers, they are then the right passepartout for an already requested emotional adhesion. The pacing of the film is also effective, giving the right space to both parts “dynamics” than to the more meditated and reflective one.
A film that therefore does justice to the story from which it is based, and which can represent a victory for everyone, including the spectator.
