In the middle of the night a few days ago, with the snowflakes floating outside the window, I watched City of Angels again. It was still the same as last time. Tears wet my eyes, but they still did not drip.
Actually, I kind of believe that there are such creatures in the world, but I can't tell whether they are angels or something else. Sometimes I feel that there is indeed an inexplicable creature touching me.
The structure of the whole story is also the kind I like very much. You want it but you can't. In the end, you can't help it, but you still have to. Completely pessimistic worldview.
The role of Seth is best played by Cage, with melancholy eyes, indifferent expressions, a kind of mystery that saves all beings. Seth wanders the hospital all day, his mission is to bring people who have gone to another world. On this particular occasion, the heroine appeared, a stubborn, excellent, confident and beautiful woman, with a sensuality in a neutral dress. In a major operation, she forcefully added a motor to the patient, as if she was fighting the god of death, "No one can take him away"! The words, and the determined look in her eyes, made Seth feel that she was "different". And the operation failed after all, and the old friend was taken away by Seth of course. Maggie burst into tears in the stairwell and kept blaming herself. In fact, this feeling was familiar to me. It wasn't my own fault, but I kept blaming myself. The feeling of being defeated by self-confidence couldn't make people feel comfortable.
When Seth asked other angels if he could let humans see him, I knew that he would definitely let her see him. At this time, he had already developed a love for her, so love transcends regions and species. Not even about right or wrong. As long as you are willing to. The first time Seth met Maggie, he called out her name, and the thought in my head was that he had also had a crush on other women, why is he the way he is now. I was only pulled back into the movie when he said I was the name I saw on your badge. And when Maggie found out that her name was not on the badge, she could also feel what a sharp woman Maggie was, which should complement her work performance.
Another small climax of the story is when Seth meets another old angel who has turned into a human. It turns out that angels can also choose to be human. The feeling of happiness when the old man showed him the photos of his wife and children definitely moved me, loving and unrepentant. What else can eternal life bring? Only love is true. Isn't life so precious because of its shortness? At this time, everyone will guess that Seth will definitely jump and become a human. And when Maggie realized this, she madly stimulated Seth to let him get rid of the idea, even if she loved him so much, she knew that eternity was his destiny, she could only say "Jordan knows me, He and I are the same, I want to say goodbye". Anyone who is in love will feel hopeless, but will still love without hesitation.
Seth also turned into a real man as expected. He became "dirty" and bleeding, but he was free, he found Maggie's vacation villa like a madman, and then felt the first sickness, the first sex, and the first love for each other. The picture of two people snuggling by the lake in the early morning really moved me, and it seems that I have seen this scene in many movies, but it is just right, adult love can be so beautiful, not to mention that he once is an angel.
I think the most beautiful stories really end in tragedy. Just when Maggie felt this love with all her heart, an accident happened. At this time, we may complain about why the director didn't make this angel happy, but then the director actually doesn't. It is to let us understand that as a human being, isn't it the word "she·de", Seth, you lost your eternal life but you got your lover and freedom, but you got freedom but lost your lover. I think this should be a philosophical question.
When Seth jumped into the sea like a fat old man who used to be an angel at the place where the angels listened to the sounds of nature, my locked heart also loosened. I think this is the happiest human being, even if it is love. The person died, but she existed in another form after all, as if Maggie smiled at him in heaven.
Going back a bit, Sarah McLachlan's Angel made me listen to it on a loop all day when Maggie kicked out Seth, and it was quiet and quiet, plus a little salty. And my three favorite instruments are probably the piano, the cello, and the Irish flute. I will definitely let my children choose one of them to learn in the future.
This kind of love may only appear in movies, but I still hope that it will fit in with life. Until the moment of death, I really love a man like Seth, who is low-key, gentle, delicate and affectionate. Human imagination is boundless, and I really love this script.
"Sheet De" You have to give up. There is no cheap thing that you can take all of. It's better to live a little more natural, a little freer, and be full of kindness to life and people. After all, being a man is not easy, and falling in love is not easy.
