No movie that I behold on a regular basis makes me feel so powerfully the joy of being alive as this one. Although many films and numberless and sappy television shows since 1987 have extinct angels of one terrible sort or another, Wim Wenders managed to success while all the others failed. Working from a narrative by well-known writer Peter Handke, Wenders takes angels that seem to have more in celebrated with Rilke’s Duino Elegies than the Bible or the Unique Age angels. Their function is to observe and gawk and picture, and in their enjoy petite fashion, to comfort and commiserate. The trick wasn’t to near up with the gimmick of angels being able to listen to the thoughts of humans, but to earn those thoughts stunning and representative of all that is quintessentially human. The trick wasn’t to have the angels gaze in murky and white and the humans in color, but in making what was seen, whether two or many toned, attractive. One has only to behold the absolutely appalling CITY OF ANGELS, an English language remake starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage, to seek that having gimmicks isn’t enough; you must have substance as well.
This is not a perfect film. There are some boring moments, and I thoroughly abhor a couple of moments in the film, in particular, Dommartin’s speech to Bruno Ganz in the bar arrive the demolish of the film. But there are so many delicate moments, so many moments where they not merely score something fair, but gain a moment of almost transcendent beauty, that WINGS OF DESIRE provides more than entertainment, but something akin to a reason to live. The movie becomes in the raze a celebration of life, of all the tawdry elements that go into being human. The movie ends in affirming nearly as many things as Walt Whitman does in “Song of Myself.”
I admire the cast. Bruno Ganz is perfect as Damiel, the central angel of the sage. Likewise, Otto Sander’s face is the perfect receptacle for all that he witnesses on his calm rounds through Berlin, while Solveig Dommartin is so sympathetic a character, so heavenly, that one could imagine an angel or anyone else yearning to be with her. And Peter Falk turns in a remarkably quirky character role, playing himself on space in Berlin. The city itself emerges as a major actor, providing what is definite to stand as the last mammoth visual representation of Berlin in the last couple of years before the Wall fell. Curt Bois was a aged character actor who was a staple in Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s, playing a gigantic number of waiters and tailors and hotel clerks (he plays the pickpocket at the very beginning of CASABLANCA) . In what would be the last role before his death, Bois appropriately plays “Homer,” the aged man remembering all that had occurred in Berlin in the past several decades, playing the role of human gaze to counterbalance the angelic witnesses.

This film and UNTIL THE Waste OF THE WORLD, a Wenders film that followed this one in 1991 have to have two of the best soundtracks I have encountered. Subtract either “Six Bells Chime” by Crime and the City Solution or “From Her to Eternity” by Crop Cave, and this would have been far less of a film, and the scene where Solveig Dommartin changes in her trailer while listening to Sever Cave do “The Carny” might be the best scene in the film.
I first saw Wings of Desire in 1988. It is impossible to negate someone what this movie is about. They best contrivance to report it is to speak that you will learn from it. It shows you what it is to be alive, devour life, and to drop in cherish with the world around you. Bruno Ganz and Otto Sander are magnificent! They fit very well together. Solveig Dommartin was a joy to peek. Her consume of multiple languages to prove her thoughts and emotions was very well done. Curt Bois fit into his role 100% and was obedient. Peter Falk was a sparkling addition to the film and also fit nicely with his utilize of English and a runt bit of German. This movie teaches about Frigid War Berlin and the wall that divided the city. It teaches you to strive for what you desire in life because you can obtain it if you really want it. Wim Wenders and Peter Handke were geniuses with fitting all of this together. This movie is totally not Hollywood style. There is no sappy romance or most of the cast getting shot to death in brutal ways. There is no script cast in stone. It pulls at your heart and your mind and never becomes dead or unimaginative. It does not order you step by step the state. It gives basic ideas and lets you choose in your heart how you will feel the film. Wim Wenders is sparkling! Berlin has changed so considerable since Wings of Desire was released. Wim Wenders has kind of frozen time and preserved this era of Berlin for us. It does not exhibit Berlin as some comely majestic town like a Hollywood film would. It shows how the people are a kind of eclectic group kind of pushed together and pulled apart in this walled off land. Wim Wenders gives a lot of gradual the scenes info in the angels among us allotment of the DVD. Wim Wenders’ director’s commentary is priceless. He answered questions that have been in my head for the last 15 years. He is very trustworthy with all information and takes a lot of time to clarify all. A Hollywood director would never do this! The DVD is like a double feature. The movie (in German) is one fragment and the film history, historical city data, and personal information (in English) provided by Wim Wenders about Berlin makes a second piece.
Wings of Desire is a nice film for German students. Bruno Ganz and Otto Sander jabber German beautifully and certain. They spend every day vocabulary so it gives fine practice with sentence construction.
Do not bother with the American version City of Angels. Maybe it is easier for us in the U.S. since it is in English but it was a complete ruin of film. The American version kills, more like savagely butchers, all the Wings of Desire cast worked so hard for.
