Sunrise in Heaven

Love. Simply, lives lived.

Only criticism would be with makeup / as I am old enough to remember, and my dad was Air Force also, wrong. Dark, garish make-up not done. And, the women: the submissive daughter and wife unreal to me: the military life breeds strength there also.. both minor roadblocks.

The story lines. ... well worth the journey.

This isn't a movie for those who don't believe in love. Love does exist and is timeless. How do you know what love is about? Well, if you ever experience the sunrise in heaven.

Based on a true story. Low bugdet? Um, it's a made-for-TV movie and two-thirds of it is set in the 60s. Bullying dad? Possibly, but real life for many who grew up in the 60s had this type of family dynamic. Christian undertones? Well, they visit with a military chaplin a few times - if you believe we should all coexist & celebrate each other's differences, then it shouldn't be a problem. Inconsistencies? Yes, some, but when have you seen a TV movie without any - never. Overall: good, heartfelt, love always prevails movie

Heartwarming, bittersweet tale of lifelong couple injured in a car accident, faced with the difficult prospect of ending their union when the husband fails to recover from his injuries. Burroughs plays the modern day wife reflecting on her marriage through flashbacks, recalling her over-bearing military father (Bernsen), a future father in law from hell as the young couple attempt to navigate his cruel overprotectiveness.

Bernsen's treatment of the younger husband is manifestly sadistic at times, equivalent to some form of extreme hazing that not even his much-loved wife (Wallace) can ameliorate.

Technically the film is fine if a bit slow at times, although there's a few moments of minor concern e.g. The heart-rate monitor of the apparently dying man was clearly visible at 80 bpm and then there's the scene where Cowan's character is speaking with Pastor Robert (Morris), fighting back tears whilst trying to make sense of her predicament, when a very visible candlestick emerges from her right nostril and begins its journey south toward her quivering lip. I was disappointed the pastor didn't offer her a handkerchief at this point, instead she sort of attempted to wipe it away but instead appeared to consume it. I guess there's no second takes when you're making an independent movie.

Unremarkable except perhaps for Bernsen's wicked turn (he's become something of the dab hand at these gruff father figures on the Lifetime channel), and then of course the aforementioned mucosal moment which is immortal. If you've ever endured the end of life situation depicted in this film, then some of the scenes and dialogue may be uncomfortable, but overall the story is delivered with tact and reverence and it's a sincere effort.

Ok there something good in movies. It's about the Love story among them. It's incredible love!!! I didn't believe that there's a loving like this in real life! Anyway the problem is the scenes move slowly. It's a little boring
