Obviously, the movie does not pretend to be an accurate portrayal of heaven, but it falls short morally as well. Eddie then meets his World War II Army captain who sacrificed himself for the platoon then a young woman that helps Eddie forgive his father then Eddie’s childless wife, Marguerite and finally a girl that Eddie attempted to save during the war in the Philippines.īecause Eddie’s experience is more about reconciliation with events and people in his earthly life, the state that the movie portrays is more like purgatory than the beatific vision. ![]() Eddie meets someone known simply as the “Blue Man” who, it turns out, died of a heart attack caused when Eddie, as a boy, wildly threw a ball into the middle of the road on which the man was driving, and it literally startled him to death.

It’s based on Mitch Albom’s 2003 novel that follows the afterlife adventures of Eddie, who was killed in an attempt to save a girl at an amusement park.
