“The feeling inside you, the love inside you, that’s god expressing through as you”; – these words are the essence of the movie. ” Conversations with God “- It’s a commercial movie for a popular series of inspirational books, which depicts the life story of the series author, Neal Donald Walsch. The film talk about his life from a homeless man to millionaire author is kind of inspirational. Mr. Walsch loses his job due to an accident and ends up in a homeless encampment. Though he loses his another job results to a great pause to his life. But he receives a visitation; that the god talks to him from inside and he channels it all on paper and becomes rich.

If he has any questions to the god, he just scribbles it down on a paper and the answers would flow through his hand. Though the movie is said to be a biography of the famous writer, the plot only recognize the story from accident to the millionaire moment. Thus the writer excludes the pre-accident story though it may confuse the important character as a douchebag. It’s true that the character is not an ideal person to be inspired about. Though Mr. Walsch continually hints at a lifetime of grave mistakes, none of the stuff you see in this movie happening to him is his fault. May be excluding his past, the writer made the character as a toy of god. Or the movie seems to be a task oriented selection for the dictating job of the god, sadly Mr. Walsch was the candidate.

Of course, it’s true that the character is not an ideal person to be inspired about, but the character is same to be a homeless and distorted characters in the bible that god as confronted. The god gives everyone a chance; the main point is who takes the bite. Though, Mr. Walsch’s life may be same in terms of the life of decibels of Jesus.

Script contains virtually no believable dialogue. The movie is riddled with slow, ponderous montages, inexplicable slow-motion sequences, and unbelievably broad acting from supporting actors. Better to watch if you know about the book “the conversations with god”.
