I remember that "Infernal Affairs" has such a lyric: "Who knows how terrifying eternity is". At the beginning of the film, I thought of this lyric when I watched those angels in black travel through the world, "enjoying" endless life, and guessing the feeling of touch. Angels have always been so high in our hearts, but who would have thought of their loneliness and sadness: they don't feel hungry, they don't have moments of distress, they don't have to worry about birth, old age, sickness and death, and they don't have to be afraid of sleeping in the air; however, on the other hand, they There is no satisfaction after a full meal, no comfort after a sweet dream; they do not feel pain, but they do not feel warmth; they can only walk lonely in the crowd every day, but no one can see them, only those who have just died Looking at the body that has no life with them indifferently...their life has no end, so I don't know where to go.
Therefore, in the film, Nicolas Cage's eyes always have an indelible sadness, until he found that the female doctor was holding the patient's heart in her hand, and her eyes could see him out of the glass window! He found that his heart started to burn, and it began to beat for a mortal...
The angel chose to become mortal. Personally, I think the slow-moving of his falling from the sky is beautiful. A lonely soul has found the meaning of its true existence. The body of an angel wrapped in a black coat faces the wind and faces a new and fresh life. Falling, blood, he finally felt the long-awaited pain, and saw the blood really flowing out of his body, and even tasted the taste of blood. Yes, everything is real, he is a real person, he has the right to have real love, he can truly feel the warmth of his lover, and he finally bids farewell to the loneliness he used to be.
Happiness is only a lingering night. The angel who turned into a human returned to loneliness again; he also believed that in the space he could not see, the lover who turned into an angel also suffered from loneliness, just like him before. He can't see her, but he knows that she will be around him - in this way, can he compensate for some loneliness separated by yin and yang?
