Why We Should See This Movie
00:04:20

|
| You're going around the thing. | |
| The thing. | |
| This is why you should go see the movie. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's it, right? | |
| The first major thing. | |
| Well, there's already a bunch of majors in my book. | |
| But he dies for four minutes in Iraq. | |
| You do. | |
| Clinically dead for four minutes. | |
| Your character. | |
| And I am a student of life after death. | |
| When I went to prison, I spent my first months reading every book I could about after death, afterlife. | |
| And I found, and I'm telling two stories, not fake stories, not made-up stories, but real stories of people that died. | |
| And your movie is so real. | |
| It really overwhelms me. | |
| Can I tell you something? | |
| The emails, we're getting emails. | |
| I can't keep up with the emails through the fan site, through my fan site and through her site. | |
| We're getting emails from people, and it is how many movies, when God's Not Dead came out, people said that people would stay at the end and applaud and cheer. | |
| When this movie finishes, nobody leaves the theaters. | |
| They're sitting quietly in their chairs watching the credits go by. | |
| And every person that writes to me says, I've never seen this happen before, but this is what's happening. | |
| It's amazing to me. | |
| I can't show the film the piece. | |
| But can you please give me my audience just a little peek? | |
| You're dead for four minutes. | |
| No, this is so important. | |
| I searched and searched. | |
| What was heaven like? | |
| Heaven is everybody who sees heaven is like technicolor. | |
| There's color that's not real on earth. | |
| They go through the tunnel. | |
| Sure. | |
| They see the light. | |
| The light. | |
| The light. | |
| Right. | |
| The light. | |
| Like God. | |
| I brought my prison Bible. | |
| This is my friend. | |
| They're bigger in prison. | |
| But this is actually a Bible I printed when I was. | |
| He very rarely prayed. | |
| I said this to you guys yesterday. | |
| Is it interesting? | |
| We give prisoners the Bible, but we've taken it out of our public schools. | |
| That's right. | |
| What is going on? | |
| So let me clarify. | |
| What we did was we walked the line on this. | |
| So he doesn't actually get to heaven. | |
| He has a vision. | |
| Yeah, he's going to heaven. | |
| He's going through the tunnel. | |
| It's basically a dream. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Which I think sort of meets the criteria that the Bible sets forth, that God gives people dreams and also meets the criteria that we have within the church. | |
| I'm not about setting up a stumbling block for another Christian. | |
| And so it's very clearly— Well, the church will argue forever. | |
| Right. | |
| So it's very clearly is the power of the gospel. | |
| It's a, it's very clearly, uh, he is somewhere that is not earthly. | |
| And. | |
| And he has this vision. | |
| And obviously, as a very astute and very defined atheist, this vision simply doesn't connect with his worldview. | |
| He is surrounded by the movie. | |
| And he has a line in the movie. | |
| He has videos and photos of his life and his family. | |
| Right. | |
| It's a memory tunnel, is what he's in, really. | |
| And it is technicolor. | |
| They did such an amazing, I mean, that scene is amazing in the movie. | |
| They did such a great job, the visual effects guys. | |
| In this four minutes, he's clinically dead, according to the doctor. | |
| Right. | |
| Yes. | |
| You see your dead son who's alive in heaven. | |
| And this is the message. | |
| He says, Daddy, let there be light. | |
| And he said, you got to go back, Daddy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| This is more supernatural. | |
| I don't want to go back. | |
| Because this is the first time in his life he's ever felt such pure love that he never knew existed. | |
| And then when you tell your family what you saw eventually, that your family, that you're separated, you're taking care of the boys, but the kids are going back and forth like so many families today. | |
| And when he tells his family, I saw Davey was his name. | |
| Davy. | |
| Davey. | |
| People, you've got to see this. | |
| You really have to see this. | |
| Because heaven is real. | |
| Everybody else thinks he's not dead. | |
| God's not dead. | |
| Heaven is real. | |
