ProduktrezensionenThe Other Side of Heaven (DVD, 2003)

Good True Story and Inspirational film

I saw the movie, and bought an additional copy. I love true life stories put on film, especially ones that inspire and leave you with a feeling of happiness. This is a good movie, that expresses the devotion of a man's love and dedication, a truly compelling love story. But, this love story exists not only between a man and a woman, but between man & God. Even for those who are not "into" religion, this story is far more than that. It displays one's feelings of fear, uncertainty, strength, friendship and faith. It shows you the life of a young man who ventures our on a mission, faced with the difficulty of acceptance in another world, facing the storm (life's & weather), rebuilding and flourishing by his belief and love of one woman and faith in God.
I bought this movie as a gift for my nephew and new wife, who too are going to be venturing out in the mission field. I hope they find it as compelling and uplifting as I did.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Uplifting adventure...

Being a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I know hundreds of Missionaries who go out for 2 yrs (give or take!!) They face many challenges & come home with a different outlook on life & many experience great change. It was a wonderful insight into an exemplary life & the challenges Elder Groberg faced & overcame.

It is a great date night movie as well as something the entire family will enjoy!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

South seas simplicity of life meet a Mormon missionary.

Really simple little story based on true events focused around one very naive young Mormon missionary traveling to the south seas. The starving sequence and the ingenue portrayal by Anne Hathaway following up on Nicholas Nickleby were not at all believable. Plus, the early entry of graphic moral innuendos into a Disney film was disappointing but could not completely detract from the tenderheartedness of the well portrayed main character.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Very intertaining!

I already had this movie and was wanting to watch it again but couldn't find it so I reordered it. Then I realized I had loaned it to my friend and she loved the movie too! :) So I let her keep it! I didn't know it was LDS when I originally ordered it but that made no difference. It is a great movie.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

A happy story overall about a young man's mission experience.

This is a story of a young man who goes for a couple of years into a remote island mission field, and his engaging experiences. A clean happy story---not without crises. Not really violent, uplifting.

The Other Side of Heaven

It's about a young missionary sent to an island not far from Australia. He must learn the language as the people of the island don't speak English. He is given a bilingual companion to help with interpretation during his first year. His theology and hymns used in this picture seem to be that of Methodist or perhaps Baptist. Since this was based on a true story the events he experienced and passed through are quite realistic. Biographies are particularly interesting to us as we know most of the events actually happened and therefore the movie is more realistic than some based on fictional novels. The young man was quite successful in his work. Has a happy ending.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

The Other Side of Heaven

I have looked everywhere for this DVD and could not find it. I'm so glad that e bay is available for this reason. This movie is a great movie about the missions that the young men and women go through sometimes while on their missions and made me very humble. The only thing I would have liked better is if it had come in a regular DVD box for storing and adding to my other DVD's the holder it came in is to easy to get misplaced so I put it in a DVD box that I purchased from a movie store.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Uplifting Movie

Its through our toughest trials that we are stretched enough to endure and to ultimately thrive in life. That is the story of John Groberg being called to serve in some pacific islands. Absolutely love this true life story of a brave young man who gives up all to serve a people he never had known before.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
