There are a very few movies which move me to an extreme where I sit there, still, starting at the screen deep in thought while the end credits have already finished rolling too.

Last time I remember that happening to me was when I watched “City of Angels” back in the year 2000.

Today I experienced the same feeling when I watched “Conversations with God“.

The movie is a true life account of the author of the books titled “Conversations with God by Neale Walsch“.

I haven’t read any of the books, at least not yet, but the movie is brilliantly portrayed.

It’s a depiction of Neale’s journey as to how he came about writing the book - and the struggles he faced in life which eventually led him to a point where the book journey began.

There are moments in the movie when you can deeply identify with his character and his pain at that given point and suddenly realise how quiet your heart feels, filled with emptiness and a deep sense of connection with the character at the same given time.

This most definitely is not a “popcorn” flick - and even if you do microwave some, I assure you, you’ll forget about them after you’re about 15-20 minutes into the movie.

It is not a “religious” journey per se - and does not focus on “religion” in any form.

It’s a straight - simple account of the author’s journey and how he came about to write these books.

So if you’re in the mood to watch something that moves your heart, I strongly urge you to rent this one out.
