If you fall, you will become an adult, it is Wenders' Berlin; if a mortal falls, you are lucky enough to meet an angel, this is Luc Besson's Paris. The City of Angels in the director's lens prefers black and white, as if that is the color of redemption. Many years ago, Luc Besson, who boasted that he only "directed" ten films, finally ushered in his final chapter. He is the god of "Europa" and arranged for Angela, the beauty in the sky, to become a great prostitute with a beautiful heart. And at the level of a master of character analysis, to redeem a materialistic unfortunate named Andre, let him pay off his debts, become a free man, have self-confidence, and learn the expression of love. The romantic soul of Paris is also continued by the prostitutes with beautiful hearts, as is the case in "La Traviata", and the woman beside Dandong during the Great Revolution who values individual ethics over collective justice. What a blessing it would be for a destitute like Andre to meet such a woman, and he finally let the angel take off his wings and enjoy the short-lived happiness in the world.
As the "final chapter" that Luc Besson once promised, "Angel A" did not raise the viewpoint too high and express too great artistic feelings. In this era of refusing to be a master of entertainment, of course Luc Besson cannot become a master, so he still habitually continues the chilling video style of his factory "Europa", making his works always enjoyable to watch. Nothing is unbreakable, and I don't believe this is his last "director" work, even though he teaches us not to lie.
