Edward Hopper's The House by the Railroad inspired visuals in the film, as well as the architecture of the farmhouse. Jacob Brackman introduced fellow producer Bert Schneider to Terrence Malick in 1. On a trip to Cuba, Schneider and Malick began conversations that would lead to the development of Days of Heaven. Malick had tried and failed to get Dustin Hoffman or Al Pacino to star in the film.[9] Schneider agreed to produce the film. He and Malick cast young actors Richard Gere and Brooke Adams and actor/playwright Sam Shepard for the lead roles. Paramount Pictures CEO at the time Barry Diller wanted Schneider to produce films for him and agreed to finance Days of Heaven.

At the time, the studio was heading in a new direction. They were hiring new production heads who had worked in network television, and, according to former production chief Richard Sylbert, "[manufacturing] product aimed at your knees".[8] Despite the change in direction, Schneider was able to secure a deal with Paramount by guaranteeing the budget and taking personal responsibility for all overages. Those were the kind of deals I liked to make .. I could have final cut and not talk to nobody about why we're gonna use this person instead of that person", Schneider said.[8]Malick admired cinematographer Nestor Almendros' work on The Wild Child (1. Days of Heaven.[1.

Almendros was impressed by Malick's knowledge of photography and willingness to use little studio lighting. The two men modeled the film's cinematography after silent films, which often used natural light. They drew inspiration from painters such as Johannes Vermeer, Edward Hopper (particularly his House by the Railroad), and Andrew Wyeth, as well as photo- reporters from the start of the 2.

The mansion was not a facade, as was normally the custom, but authentically recreated inside and out with period colors: brown, mahogany and dark wood for the interiors.[1.

Patricia Norris designed and made the period costumes from used fabrics and old clothes to avoid the artificial look of studio- made costumes.[1. To film the scene with the swarm of locusts, where the insects rise into the sky, the film- makers dropped peanut shells from helicopters. The actors had to walk backwards while running the film in reverse through the camera to achieve the effect. When it was projected, everything moved forward except the locusts. According to Almendros, the production was not "rigidly prepared", allowing for improvisation. Daily call sheets were not very detailed and the schedule changed to suit the weather.

This upset some Hollywood crew members not used to working this way. Most of the crew were used to a "glossy style of photography" and felt frustrated because Almendros did not give them much work.[1.

On a daily basis, he asked them to turn off the lights they had prepared for him. Some crew members said that Almendros and Malick did not know what they were doing.

Heaven is for Real True Story vs Movie. When my dad asked how long I was up in Heaven, for some weird reason I said 3 minutes, when I got to see the past when my dad played with Pop, the present where I got to see my dad preach, and my dad in his separate room giving his little prayer to God, and then the future, which is when the Armageddon is to happen. Colton Burpo, January 2. Huntley Street Interview)Questioning the Story: What year did the events actually take place? According to the Heaven is for Real true story, on Thursday, February 2.

Colton Burpo, then three years and ten months old, complained to his mother Sonja that his stomach hurt. Unbeknownst to his parents at the time, this was the first sign of appendicitis.

Sonja took him to the doctor, who told her it was the stomach flu. By the next morning he was feeling better. Colton, his mother, and his older sister Cassie left that day to meet Colton's father, Pastor Todd Burpo, who had already traveled to Greeley, Colorado, where he was scheduled to have a district board meeting for the Wesleyan church (the trip had a duel purpose and wasn't just a vacation like in the movie). They did visit the Butterfly Pavilion (pictured below). It was later that day, while still in Greeley, that Todd's 3- year- old son's condition took a drastic turn for the worse, eventually landing the boy in the operating room fighting for his life. As seen in the movie (left), Colton Burpo and his family visited the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado on March 1, 2. Colton's condition took a turn for the worse.

In the Heaven is for Real book, the real Todd Burpo mentions that the year prior to Colton's emergency surgery was a rocky one, with injury and illness that included a shattered leg, two surgeries, kidney stones, and a cancer scare.

He says that the family's bank account had been drained to such a degree that he could almost hear "sucking sounds" when the statements came in the mail. Just when Todd's shattered leg was finally almost behind him and it seemed like things had begun to turn a corner, they quickly found themselves back in the hospital for a near two week long stay following Colton's burst appendix. After Colton was discharged, they were faced with a stack of accumulated bills that totaled around $2.

Bottom: Todd's church, Crossroads Wesleyan. Was Todd Burpo a full- time pastor?

No. As he states in the book, his pastor's salary was small. The family's main source of income was an overhead garage door business that Todd operated.

He also served as a volunteer fireman and high school wrestling coach. What Christian denomination are the Burpos? The Burpos are Protestants. One of the major differences between Protestants and Catholics, for example, is that Protestants deny the universal authority of the Pope, and they see the Bible as the only source of revealed truth. Is a ruptured appendix really what landed Colton in the ER? Yes. Initially, the local doctor at the hospital in the Burpo's hometown of Imperial, Nebraska ruled out appendicitis.

After waiting for Colton's condition to improve, his father, Pastor Todd Burpo, recognized the shadow of death on Colton's face. He had seen that look before when visiting the sick in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices. With Colton's condition deteriorating and the doctors still puzzled, Todd and his wife Sonja made the decision to take Colton to the Great Plains Regional Medical Center, which was ninety minutes away in North Platte, Nebraska. A CT scan quickly revealed the problem, a burst appendix. It also meant that poisonous discharge had been filling Colton's belly for five days.

We'll know more when we open him up."Following two surgeries to clean the poison out of his son's abdomen, Todd Burpo says that the doctors and nurses at Great Plains Regional Medical Center seemed amazed that shortly after they felt that they could do no more and recommended that Todd and Sonja take Colton to a children's hospital, either in Omaha or Denver, Colton's bowels suddenly started to work again and his worsening condition improved dramatically.

The true story behind the Heaven is for Real movie reveals that it was around this point in time that a nurse offered a few words in private, explaining to Todd that the doctors and nurses had expected Colton Burpo to die. The nurse told Todd that the doctors had told them not to offer his family any encouragement, because they didn't think his son was going to make it.

She stressed that when the doctors say someone isn't going to make it, they don't. After witnessing Colton's sudden turnaround, the nurse said that she believed it had to be a miracle.

Did the real Colton Burpo ever technically flatline? No. Like in the movie, Colton's heart never actually stopped beating.

The real Todd Burpo stated this during an interview with Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File. Well, he never flatlined or coded, but talking to the surgeon, he said children that young, they have no warning, vital signs don't fade, they're just there or they're gone. But he never did technically just flatline."In order to explain how his son visited Heaven without dying, Todd remembered that the Bible discusses several people who had visited Heaven without dying, including John the apostle and a personal acquaintance of the apostle Paul.
