I like Cage very much, I like Meg Ryan very much, I like Cage because of his eyes that make you forever deep, and I like Ryan because of her sweet smile.
"City of angels" brings their acting skills to the extreme. The whole film is very beautiful, it has always been very quiet, like a low poem by a poet, and in this peace it expresses a special kind of love, which makes people yearn and enjoy. Perhaps what we need is this kind of expectation behind the prosperity. We hope that one day, angels will come to the world and come to us, even if it is just one day, let us enjoy the love between each other to the fullest.
In fact, angels have been guarding your side. You can't see it, but you can feel it, feel its presence, to comfort you when you're depressed, and to share that joy when you're happy. However, you do not belong to the same world after all. Angels can live forever, they can listen to the sounds of nature, but unfortunately, he can't enjoy the warmth of the world, tuch, the taste of pears. As a mortal, she has to suffer for the unsatisfactory life in her own life. Although she has worked very hard, she is still powerless about some things. Maggie (Meg Ryan) is crying because she can't save a patient's life, and she thinks she's doing the right thing and the patient's life shouldn't be lost. At the end of the film, after seth (played by Cage) jumped into a mortal, watched Maggie die, but there was nothing he could do. Maybe that's what the film is trying to convey, if you weren't him, you'd never be able to understand how he felt - can you describe the taste of pears?
The quietness of the film feels sad but not sad. When Maggie was riding a bicycle and galloping on the road by the lake, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the beauty to the fullest. It was a real freedom. Her hands seemed to have become a pair of wings, a pair of angel wings. . As a result, she really flew away, but there was a smile in her eyes, which was the smile of an angel.
Sarah Mclachlan's "angel" in the film adds a gorgeous touch to this tranquility. "you are in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here." The tone of the music and the quietness of the film are a match made in heaven.
