"Astral City: A
Spiritual Journey" Movie Review
Both
captivating and inspiring, “Astral City” gives viewers a
real glimpse into the treasures of knowledge found in the
science and philosophy of Spiritism. In this well-done
production that stays quite faithful to the true story novel
it is based on, viewers accompany the main character, Andre Luiz, as he encounters the reality of our existence as
immortal souls and awakens to new perspectives about life,
love, responsibility, and connection.
Through this movie, many viewers, like Andre Luiz himself,
discover the awesome reality that "death" only pertains
to the impermanent physical body and that life not only goes
on, but in a very real way. By following Andre's
experiences, we see that the bonds of love and affection
established here on Earth are never destroyed and that, one
day, we are all re-united with our loved ones, in the
spiritual realm - a place to reflect on our past
experiences, engage in opportunities for study and fraternal
service, and prepare for the continuation of our spiritual
journey.
Like
threads that weave through those discoveries, some deeper
underlying realities that Andre also comes to realize, as he
is helped to understand the connection between past, present
and future, are that life has great meaning, that everything
we experience serves a purpose, and that we all are truly
the authors of our own destiny.
The
film is well-produced and very entertaining, with great
music and visual effects that keep you absorbed from one
scene to the next, and these elements all come together to
really bring home the heartwarming and thought-provoking
messages of this incredible story, as first narrated by
Andre Luiz, himself. |
Chico Xavier is the much-loved
medium, through whom Andre Luiz was able to share his
story with us.
