Heaven is for real #4
This weekend I went to the movie and saw Heaven is For Real in theaters. I have only read some of the book so far but if I were to compare the movie and the book, I would say the book is so far better. In the movie, they left out a few parts. Some parts they left out of the movie is the part about how Colton got sick before they left to go on their mini trip. So, technically Colton got sick two times but the movie only showed him being sick once. Another part the movie left out is that the Burpo parents took Colton to the doctor before they took him to the hospital. Colton stayed at the doctors for a little bit until his family realized his sickness wasn't getting any better. The doctor said he was okay to stay at the doctor but the parents knew it was something way worse then the flu so they ignored the doctor and took him to the hospital. The doctor gave the family the wrong information about Colton's condition but in the movie they skipped that part. That surprised me a lot because I thought that that was a very important part of the book. So, if you were deciding whether to see the movie before you read the book I would say don't. Read the book first so you can get the real story of Colton Burpo and his visit to Heaven.

It sounds like the people did a bad job of making the movie, but it is good to see that you are keeping up on your reading! I like your idea of comparing the book to the movie, it was a good idea for a blog post. It is also nice to see that you have been keeping up on all of your posts. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read this book before I see the movie. Usually the books are always better! I like how you included your own voice and opinion on which you thought was better!
ReplyDeleteHello Kelly, My name is anthony and i would like to comment on your blog! Now Kelly, I am a blog enthusist and i have been blogging for hundreds of seconds since first triemster. But this post on your blog is above average and i am very proud of you. Your voice is shown very well which i really like. I have a observation though. you said how i should read the book before watching the movie because the book is the real story. but how do we know that, Kelly? the movie could be the real story and we may not know. I think that is a large problem with our generation. we jump to conclusions way to fast. Like i said before im very impressed woth your work and hope we can have a professional talk about this book in the future.
