In 2016 a movie called Miracles from Heaven was released. The movie did not get as much attention compared to Furious 7. But for me, I tend to like sentimental movies over action hard movies. This movie was about a little girl who one day could not really eat. Every time she tried she just threw it up right away. The parents of the little girl basically went to every doctor they could to figure out what was wrong. Each doctor came up with different diagnoses and gave her different types of medicine. To end up having to go to a far away doctor for a real conclusion. This doctor was one that was packed and hard to get. The mother ended up just going straight there and forcing her way into the office. By this time everyone in this movie is upset and frustrated and giving up hope. But then they meet someone who reminds them that hope is still there and will come when it is truly needed. I went to see this movie with my aunt who I rarely hang out with because both of us were always busy. It was my junior year, I was trying hard in school to get really good grades and with good grades came many crying and frustrated nights. I felt really down because I wasn't understanding math and math is my favorite subject. I couldn't get the hang of it. My aunt asked me if I wanted to hang out on the weekend because my mom told her how upset I was about school. It was crazy going to see this movie because of great it was and how it really did give me another view on life and how it boosted me back up after seeing it. 

This movie of course was made out to make you cry. If you didn't cry then you didn't get the point. The family wasn't the richest family out there, which meant going to see the doctors was costing way too much to keep going through what they were going through.  The movie had specific parts to it of having the sad music at some big moments. Also showing the mother and father arguing about what to do and crying about it was really affecting them, made me feel like I was watching myself get upset and started crying. It was as if a mirror was there because I was feeling the exact same way. The way you see this little girl getting going through things that no little girl should have to go through just made me feel like bursting into tears. 

This piece of art served a personal function because of how this movie was exactly how I was feeling. The fact that the movie was having the same emotions I was having, then to show how people were giving up hope. Just like how I was giving up hope, showing that I basically was giving up hope from school. Bu then the movie reminding me not to give up because the battle isn't over yet. The movie was clearly brought to me for a reason and it was to pull me back up. The movie gave me a that kick that I needed and it impacted me by pushing me harder into exactly what I needed to do. 

This art reached me by touching the part that was most vulnerable at the moment. The movie connected with me by feeling and showing me the same emotions I was feeling in another perspective. While the girl in the video was upset and feeling hopeless, I felt the pain that she was going through. The moments that she was crying, were moments that touched my heart. By making me see the exact emotion she was feeling, it made me feel some kind of way. Pushing me to my feelings. The artist did really good by putting sad music at sad parts and intense music for intense moments. By connecting the feeling in the movie to correct spots, it made you touch your feelings in your heart. By showing the happy ending, it made me feel happy and gave me that strength to getting back up and pushing through the hard moments. That was how this movie changed me.
