A lesson to be learned

Both, the movie “Defending Your Life” and the book “Five People You Meet In Heaven”, have a very similar idea of heaven.
Presenting heaven as a place that has a function to the departed, the movie and the book’s idea of heaven show a transitional place, a place you have go to understand the weight of what you’ve done in life. While in the movie it was more of a judgment than a lesson, Daniel Miller learned not to fear life, and by learning something out of his judgment, Judgment City became also a place that had something to teach as well as Eddie’s journey had.
