Diagonaldi Very well executed
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tomas Maly This movie was disappointing in the sense that it was more about the guy's life experiences (and struggles) while writing his book than actually anything about the book itself. Seems like a PR stunt to me. I was expecting something that would at least go into the content of the book, maybe go into what he was feeling and experiencing. But then again it seems like he was more of just a 'medium' for this spiritual writings rather than actually having experienced anything spiritual worth showing/portraying. The movie makes what he ended up producing out of all of it somewhat of a side note, not particularly significant to the storyline. The Celestine Prophecy movie seemed more interesting than this, and that thing was really shallow/cliché in itself.
Dana Day This movie does play out like an after school special. It's not a badly produced movie, as some have suggested, but it truly is just an infomercial for Walsch's books. There are so many logical inconsistencies in Walsch's theology that there is no room to write them here. Xenos.com has an excellent review of Walsch's work. (I am not affiliated with Xenos - I just know how to research using the internet and google.)Walsch's god is his own inner voice - which makes Walsch his own god.At one point in the movie he suggests that either he is hearing from God or he is crazy. Yep, - he's crazy.Normal people, when faced with adversity, seek help from others - they don't abandon their families and live in a tent in the park. That's a big red flag that he's not normal. He wasn't hiding from the law or the mafia - so to choose that path shows he might be just as crazy as the other homeless people who have mental illness causing them to shun those who could help them.And if he is not crazy, then he is worse - he's a huckster out to make a buck. If you honestly want to hear from God, try a Bible study with a good group of people and have some discussions. A wee amount of research into what God says in the Bible will show you the folly of Walsch's teachings.For those who shun the God of the Bible, Walsh may be right up your alley.
shu-fen In actuality, the last line of the movie uttered by the lady is the most truthful one: she also had conversations with God, only that Neale's book confirms that. Why does she need confirmation? Because voices confuse our mind every day: the presidential candidates speak promise or lie, no clue. TV commercials are selling true or false hope, no idea. Media are creating voice and noise, either meaningful or meaningless. Only the conversations of God give us peace yet that's hard to get hold of.I do wonder why the production house dared to take such a box-office risk to shoot this film where plain and linear narration takes it all. However, anyway, no matter what, it is with us now, though we don't welcome it with wide open arms, we don't find it annoying and we don't drive it out. After all, in a world like the one we are now having, conversations with God do help clear up our troubled hearts and garbage-stuffed mind.Let's quiet down, listen to His voice and get Him right, at least this time.
Sputtosi Before seeing the movie, I have read Conversation with God written by NEALE DONALD WALSCH. Although I always had a very high spiritual life, these (3) books were a revelation to me. I was also talking to God but only in a form of monologue. The movie and the books show otherwise; God can actually make dialogs with you if only your heart is receptive. I was in that state of mind when I saw the film. A great story (like I was expected) in a small film. Being an independent low budget movie directed by a not very skilled director (S. Simon) did not bother me at all, because the emotion and the message went through and made this story as one of the most important film of the decade. To me the other great movie similar to this one is THE TRUMAN SHOW. None of these has or will make money. But that is not important. I am persuaded the CONVERSATION WITH GOD will touch thousand of people and that's the most important mission for this story. Figures set up to 7 million people, (and still counting) who read the books. My feeling is that at least several thousand of people will be deeply touched by the movie. As a viewer I believe in this s touching story for two reasons: the magic writing of Neale Donald Walsch but more than that the credibility of the character personified by a great actor Henry Czerny. ( Mission Impossible /Boys of St-Vincent) Neale Donald Walsch in real life was 50 years old with a broken neck when he first started living homeless. And Henry Czerny played that with a rare sensibility and a true conviction. Thanks to both Neale and Henry. Please go see that movie who ever you are either you read or not the books. You too can talk with God because God will always be there for you and …me 9/10 Roger Cardinal Canada.
