天堂所见 / 见证天堂 / 天堂是真的
美国一位男童自称3岁时因盲肠破裂动手术，濒危之际，灵魂出窍上天堂，不但坐在耶稣腿上，还见到了因妈妈流产、来不及出世的姐姐。令人惊讶的是，他的父母亲从未告诉过他这段往事。他的牧师父亲相信这是神迹，已将儿子7年前的经历写成书，《天堂真的存在》(《Heaven Is For Real》)，在美国连续7周登上畅销书榜首，目前已经印刷超过100万本。 ◎幕后花絮 本片改编自2010年出版的同名畅销书，此书曾登上《纽约时报》畅销书榜首。传教士陶德-伯波在书中记录了四岁儿子讲述自己游览天堂的见闻。虽然一些基督教徒批评这本书没有任何事实依据，无神论者苏珊-雅各比认为其缺乏基本的逻辑，但该书依然在出版不到一年就热卖20万册，并连续四年销量不俗。市场嗅觉敏锐的索尼电影公司在2011年买下了该书的电影改编版权，找来《勇敢的心》的编剧兰道尔-华莱士担任导演。从小，华莱士的母亲就带领他去教堂，了解上帝。他听了福音布道家比利-格拉汉姆的许多演讲。在田纳西州的小教堂中，华莱士被赞美诗感动，希望以后有机会能与别人分享这些珍贵的感受。《天堂真的存在》无疑给了他千载难逢的机会。在第一次听到伯波家庭的事迹后，与大多数人一样，华莱士有着满腹疑问。通过公司，他认识了陶德，了解到他是如此诚实和脚踏实地的人，而且并不在乎外人怎么看待自己。陶德有许多工作，并非依靠教堂工作维生，不是那种只有付钱才会做牧师的人。这些都令华莱士印象深刻，并开始了解并相信他所讲述的故事。 华莱士说，本片并非为了传道，更多关注的是人的内心，让人了解神的作为远非人类可以控制和了解的。他本人就在拍摄期间有了奇迹般的经历。在接拍后，他因为严重感染接受了手术，并被告知需要截肢，但后来他们找到办法避免于此。在拍摄期间，华莱士度过母亲离世的艰难时日，坚信亲人能在天堂开始更好的生活。“我相信，这个电影能给基督徒们真正的鼓励和为他们对上帝的渴望代言。它也会给那些没有信仰和心存疑窦的人感受爱和希望的机会。”
"Heaven Is for Real," released in 2014 and produced by TriStar Pictures and Screen Gems, is a poignant cinematic exploration of faith, family, and the mysteries of the afterlife. Based on the bestselling book by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent, the film recounts the real-life experiences of the Burpo family, particularly their young son, Colton. After undergoing emergency surgery, four-year-old Colton begins sharing astonishing accounts of his visit to heaven, where he claims to have met Jesus and deceased relatives. Directed by Randall Wallace, the film delicately balances the skepticism and wonder that such a profound revelation brings to a small-town community and the family at its heart. The narrative centers on Todd Burpo, portrayed by Greg Kinnear, a pastor struggling with financial and personal hardships. His son's near-death experience and subsequent revelations challenge Todd's faith and force him to confront his congregation's doubts and his own uncertainties. The film's strength lies in its intimate portrayal of the Burpo family's journey, capturing the emotional turmoil and eventual acceptance of Colton's extraordinary claims. Kinnear delivers a compelling performance, embodying the complexities of a father torn between his pastoral duties and his paternal instincts. "Heaven Is for Real" also delves into the broader implications of Colton's story on the community of Imperial, Nebraska. As news of Colton's experiences spreads, the town is divided between those who embrace the possibility of divine intervention and those who dismiss it as a child's fantasy. The film sensitively navigates these tensions, offering a nuanced look at how faith can both unite and divide people. The supporting cast, including Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo and Connor Corum as Colton, adds depth to the story, grounding the film's more fantastical elements in relatable human experiences. Ultimately, "Heaven Is for Real" is a testament to the power of belief and the enduring bonds of family. While it may not convert skeptics, the film invites viewers to consider the possibility of a world beyond our own and the comfort that such a belief can bring. Through its heartfelt storytelling and sincere performances, the film leaves audiences with a renewed appreciation for the mysteries of life and the strength found in faith and love.
