When The Child Was a Child… It Was The Time Of This Questions, Why Am I Me…And Why Not You? Why Am I Here,And Why Not There? When Did Time Begin,And Where Does Space End? Isn't Life Under The Sun Just a Dream? Isn't What I See, Hear, And Smell... Just The miracle Of a World Before The World?
Wim Wenders' "Under the Sky in Berlin" opened with such a monologue questioning, and The non-indifferent black and white tones are full of tolerance and tolerance. In the eyes of angels, the world is colorless, no matter how splendid it is, and only when it falls into the mortal world will it become bright and dazzling colors. The former is peaceful and without pain. There is no longing, no regrets, and no despair, because the duty of angels is to guard West Berlin after the war, to help the frustrated and hesitate to get out of the predicament, to give them spiritual and spiritual comfort, so they themselves first maintain the prophet, the foresight, and the world’s The seven emotions and six desires seem to have nothing to do with it; and the latter, since the original sin of mankind, has never been able to escape from the suffering of desire, the desire for hunger and fullness, the desire for cold and warm, the desire for gain and loss... Although these emotions are not holy, they have primitive warmth and vulgarity. Gives people a sense of specific touch.
Two angels shuttled through the empty library, the desolate overgrown country, the depressed street, the silent subway, listening to the various inner voices of people, complaining, anger, despair and desire, let the people in front of the camera I sigh, knowing that what others think is not a happy thing, because there are so many unfulfilled wishes and pains in this world, but the angels walked over with a smile, and with their warmth and pious influence every guarded heart, Although only the children can see it (the raised face is filled with innocence and happiness), those who are listened to are lucky.
The love story in the film is not the main line. In fact, the director uses the eyes of angels to describe the panic and panic in Berlin after the war. He also explores the meaning of human existence as an individual. Of course, love is also very important here. It is fantasy and reality. The perfect combination, the scene of the circus actress telling herself to the mirror is very sad and moving, "I can't get the nourishment of love, I have become so ugly and mediocre." One of the angels involuntarily fell in love with her after listening to her heart and did not hesitate to incarnate as A mortal came to this colorful world. She felt his presence in her dream. Although her face was vague, she was already in love with him, so they looked for each other and finally met at the performance of nick cave & bad seeds. (Her slow dance is extremely beautiful), after a long gaze, finally hugs each other, and the soul fits together!

Wings of Desire quotes

  • Homer, the aged poet: [inner voice - as he walks around a wasteland by the Berlin Wall] I can't find Potsdamer Platz. Here? This can't be it. Potsdamer Platz is where the Café Josti used to be. In the afternoon I'd go there to chat and have a coffee and watch the crowd after I'd had my cigar at Löhse and Wolff, a famous tobacconist, right around here. So this can't be Potsdamer Platz.

  • Peter Falk: So, what is it? Hitler had a double?

    Boy: Ya, ya.

    Peter Falk: There were two Hitlers?

    Boy: Yeah.

    Peter Falk: Two Hitlers?

    Boy: Hitler came from the Innsbourne and he died before he could land at his home in the Alps.

    Peter Falk: And Goebbels got an actor to be Hitler?

    Boy: Ya, because he doesn't want that anybody knows.

    Peter Falk: So, this, let me ask you something. This story, to me, it's not too plausible.
