Which he does, generously, with a seemingly endless supply of corny aphorisms and self-help platitudes. Turns out God has been listening to Walsch’s questions and complaints over the years and he wants the chance to respond.
Czerny ( Mission: Impossible, The Ice Storm) stars as Neale Donald Walsch, a down-on-his-luck transient whose life is turned upside down when he hears the voice of God speaking to him one night.
#CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
As it stands, this humble (in budget, not theological ambition) little movie plays out like a Hallmark movie of the week, full of simple life-affirming lessons about a generous, forgiving God and the redemptive possibilities of love and charity. Conversations With God the movie probably shouldn’t have been made, or if it had to be, it should have happened years ago, when the book was at the height of its popularity, and maybe some real money could have been thrown into it. All this combines to make Conversations with God: The Making of the Movie a touchstone document in the evolution of conscious moviemaking now recognized as spiritual cinema.The bestselling self-help book Conversations With God is the kind of feel-good treacle that seems to come around every few years to inspire an entire nation full of seekers and lost souls and then vanish again into the ether, only to be replaced by a different Oprah-approved spiritual guidebook. And since Neale Donald Walsch lived these dramatic movie events, who better to comment on them from the personal depth of his experience? Throughout the book, Neale adds a commentary dimension unprecedented in moviemaking literature. From pre-production to the location sets, in more than 200 full-color production stills, production design works of art, and frames from the movie itself, here is the heart of filmmakers at work. The narrative text connects the film's storyline to the remarkable synchronistic events that linked all cast and crewmembers. Conversations with God: The Making of the Movie provides a unique and exclusive insight into the process and personalities involved in the spiritually relevant film genre that has become known as spiritual cinema. Finally, the full back story of Neale's struggle is revealed in a feature-length film produced and directed by Stephen Simon, who is responsible for such spiritual cinema classics as Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May Come and for the launch of of the modern-day spiritual cinema movement. A decade after the appearance of Book One, Conversations with God, the movie, began shooting November 7, 2005, in Ashland, Oregon, where the actual events of Neale's transformation occurred.
#CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD FULL MOVIE SERIES#
Book One of the Conversations with God series stayed on the New York Times Bestseller list for more than two and a half years and has been translated into 36 languages, with more than 7 million copies sold. Conversations with God, the movie, is the dramatic story of Neale Donald Walsh's passage from being poor and homeless to becoming the messenger of spiritual truths that have impacted people worldwide. Neale, do you really want answers to all these questions, or are you just venting? What had begun as a private process in February 1992 thus became a dialog with an infinite source, which Neale later identified as a conversation with God. Then the voice moved inside Neale's voice head, and he wrote what the voice said. He heard a voice over his right shoulder, a real voice that frightened him. At the end of an almost hysterical writing frenzy, near physical and emotional collapse, he was unable to release the pen from his hand. From this low place of frustration and desperation, Neale vented his ire by writing an angry letter to God on a yellow legal pad. Neale Donald Walsch, at age 48, was financially destitute and in a state of chronic depression.
