Wrathful, hesitate to God, and horrible thing come to you. What should you do?  It is undoubted we could speak to God, But how? One of the media that we can use is a letter. Could you guarantee that God will reply your message? This question has answered in a great movie that is Letter to God. A movie which told us about a child who inspired many people solve their wrathful, hesitation to God and courageous to finish the trouble.

Medullablastoma is a brain cancer which suffered by a boy, approximately he is eight years old. He is a cheerful boy. His name is Tyler. Before he got it, he is a keen student, There are some medals put in wall in his room. Unfortunately, his ailment, cogency him to stop some activities. One of them is playing football. Since, his cancer like a jail, there are some people surround him. The most prominent people for Tylers is her mother.

Nurse, is a Tyler’s mother’s job. She always disperse positive thing to the other people especially her patient. In fact, she couldn’t  do what she has asked for. When his husband dead because of ailment, she thought that her life is oppressive. She doesn’t know what should she do. As we know, cancer is costly disease, we need chemo to massacre the disease which function is pledge that there are no cancer symptoms anymore. On the other hand, Tylers mother doesn’t have much money to pay it. Although, the condition doesn’t scaffold her family, she still take the other way how to make Tyler’s get better soon. Because of it there are some bills letter which send to their home.

One of the important character is a new postman. His name is Brady Macdinels. Before he accept that job, he has gloomy experience because he has sent to penitentiary. He brought his child when he was drunk and his wife consider to finish the relation. This made him exasperate. Every night he comes to bar and drink some unnecessary thing. When he met Tyler and know the content of the letter he thought Tyler is a gift from God. Then he become a good man after read some inspiration letters which write by Tyler to God.

 Brady Macdinels met Tyler’s Mother when he play football with Tyeler in the yard. One day, Tyler got a telephone from a a football coach. He is offered to play in football competition. Eventhough his team is the winner, that competition made him tasteless. After he join that football competition, his condition becoming worst. Before his dead, There are many people who inspired his letter to God.

This movie has a good camera side when the character activities is caught. It makes the people who watch this movie feel come together with all of them. Bob M.Scott who is a director of photograph make this movie becoming marvelous. Talking about costume, both character and their clothes are match and simple. Personally, I think that is good because it teach us not to be hedonism. Moreover, the sound of this movie which composed by Colin D’malley scaffold whole of the story. One of the most perfect is when Brady Macdinells go to the church and there are some people who make a songs to pray. The voice is fantastic.

Unfortunately, one of this story doesn’t develop well. The example, when Tyler’s father dead it didn’t tell clearly and there is only a photo to show him. Moreover, the people who watch it only see Tyler’s father in a glance. This movie is better when a small part of story could develop clearly and detail.

In fact, this movie is amazing, there are a lot of positive effect which we can get from it.
