Seth, played by nicolas cage, is an angel who lives in the library and wanders in the hospital. He is responsible for bringing the recently deceased person to heaven, but accidentally falls in love with the doctor Maggie, played by meg ryan. When the two go through various complicated emotions Development, the angel decided to give up eternity, bear the pain, experience human feelings, and really lost his superpowers, experienced embarrassing embarrassment to find Maggie the next day, Maggie passed away in a car accident.
The whole film is shot slowly and beautifully, nicolas' deep, melancholy and innocent eyes and meg ryan's always transparent smile are the highlights.
Several scenes are impressive:
1. The angels living in the library are all black, unlike our impression that they are always dressed in white with a halo of wings. They are very gossip, eavesdropping on people's thoughts and hanging out with people Reading books and gossip staring at Seth and Maggie's every move, it is estimated that the only thing these lovely black angels have in common with humans is "gossip".
2. Seth has no other feeling except his love for Maggie. Maggie described the taste of pears to him. The rustling is like sugar melted in his mouth - I happened to be sick at home and didn't have any sense of taste. I pressed pause and started to recall my past. The delicious food I ate, described in Hemingway-style language, directly led me to discover my own lack of vocabulary.
3. When Seth lost his superpowers and wanted to find Maggie, he had no money to take a long-distance bus, and was robbed of his shoes by a few hooligans. He stood in the rain and gave his thumbs up desperately, waiting for the passing vehicles to take him for a ride. , Depressed and embarrassed, when we are working hard for our ideals, how many times do we have to insist that we have done nothing wrong, insist that we can persist... Maybe Maggie doesn't love herself that much, maybe Maggie has agreed In addition, the male doctor who proposed marriage may not be compatible at all... If you don't try it, you don't know what it might be, but if you try it, you know there is no turning back.
4. The next morning, the two of them sat by the lake and hugged the blanket, telling them that this was the happiest moment.
5.maggie collapsed on the road, surrounded by the fairyland-like scenery of Tahao Lake. seth said goodbye to her in tears, knowing for the first time why human beings cry. "God knows we can't be together, why should we meet?" Happiness is so short-lived that people are caught off guard, and the answer is just one sentence, this is life. Sometimes desperately seeking, just to wait to lose...
As the gluttonous former old angel said, God gave human beings the best gift - free will, it gives you happiness, pain, responsibility and a hint of A little bit of feeling, the world is so beautiful, even though my muscles are still so sore.
Close your eyes and slowly shift your focus from one pain to another painful muscle, shoulders to back, stomach to lower back, thighs to ankles, glad they responded, let me know They are all there.
Maybe if Seth didn't come to find Maggie as an adult, Maggie wouldn't die. Maybe Seth made a decision a day late, so he wouldn't have the chance to spend their only days with Maggie. Maybe Maggie wouldn't have met Seth if he didn't become a doctor since he was a child. Maybe the gluttony ex-old angel won't have the story of the fallen angel if he doesn't talk much, maybe Maggie's ex-boyfriend insists on being with her, so she won't die, maybe God made something to tell seth that maggie will die, and seth won't Giving up one's own superpower, there may always be too many possibilities... However, there is no possibility in your life and mine. Life is a play without rehearsal and script. Everyone is a director and decides whether it is joy or sorrow.
I really like the last sentence of seth: i would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand than the eternity without it...
That way you know that love didn't leave because of her.
