If you have never seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Five People You Will Meet in Heaven is a powerful story about the life of a man who worked on Ruby Pier - an amusement park. Each person he met showed him a different aspect of himself. By the time you get to #5 you get all the pieces and the reasons why. It's an emotional movie which shows how we are all connected to each other and how each life affects the other. We are all one. I didn't recognize the names, but I did recognize the faces of the people in the movie - seasoned actors who gave an award winning performance in my opinion. It's a two part movie on Netflix. We don't always know why we do something, but in the summation of your life, you are where you are supposed to be, doing what you need to do. I give this move 5 stars.

This was a wonderful movie and one I'd like to see again. Right now I just got a book by Mitch Albom called the First Phone Call from Heaven (can't wait to read it)

I have seen that movie on Netflix and it was excellent. Jon Voigt and Ellen Burstyn were just a few of the people who acted in this movie.

Another one I will have to check into. I wonder if it isn't the one that came before "For One More Day" a book I am trying to read by Mitch Albom. Sounds like his type of work.

I haven't watched this movie before. But your words make me quite interested in it. I think I shall find it online. Is it an old movie? I am just curious.

I had never heard of the book or author before these comments, but I do recall seeing his name on the movie credits.

Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning.
