It was an experience that I could not explain and I found miraculous. I wonder if the deceased father of my friend was trying to communicate to my friend through me. The movie was so similar to him. He was a painter and a psychic who forged a strong spiritual relationship is wife. The movie was about a painter who lost his wife but tried to reach her through his paintings. I found it a rather boring movie but miraculously recited every word of the dialogue before it was said. I had never seen the movie before and years later tried to repeat the experience and had no idea what the actors were about to say. It even freaked my friend out who took interest in paranormal experiences. We eventually broke up suddenly. He left after that with no real word or reason. I knew that that would happen from the day I met him but I hoped it wouldn't. It worked out for the better because I think his friend knew it was for the best.
