The film has two visions of color, and the black and white of the human voice is left after the color is removed. This is Berlin in the sky, and the pain in the human heart under the skin of the hue emerges. How indifferent is the angel's perspective on this Berlin, this height is different from the image that has always been portrayed by humans as caring for the world. Hearing one voice after another, and knowing one story after another, the angels did not help the desolation that these human beings felt, especially in that Germany, which was still in a period of division, how people experienced life. The alienation caused by a pair of cold eyes makes the audience feel doubly desolate, because he also participates in being one of such bystanders, with the same color blindness and distance.
The story arranges two angels with different personalities, highlighting the gap between the two types of looking at the world. The indifferent Cassirer refused the invitation of the human to reach out and kept a distance with restraint; on the contrary, Danmir, who always sat next to the human , try to make all kinds of encouragement that humans cannot feel, and at the same time be willing to reach out to accept the invitation of human beings, and finally reincarnate into human beings. The world of human beings is full of color and confusion, and because they cannot hear the hidden voices, they will be deceived. Angels must learn to be human from it. The director who used to be an angel told Damier to feel it for himself, so that he can have his own human experience, which is far different from listening to others. When the love of an angel descends into the world, he must also be involved in it, so that he can be aware of it and help the human beings he cares about. This is something that cannot be given to human beings by the identity of an angel. The skylight of human beings must ultimately be opened by the love of human beings from heaven, and it is opened with human hands. This is the way out for human beings. The two states of bystander and action are demonstrated very wonderfully here.
Without caring eyes, that is always standing aside. No matter what you think in this position, you do nothing, unlike the position where you sit next to others and touch everything. The library in the movie is a scene full of Ukiyo-e paintings. An old man who cares about the world and what a scholar who was once admired thinks and can do has been ignored. Why did you choose the library as a scene where angels often haunt? It is probably what the library contains, and it is all about human beings. It is often a place where people go to solve problems. It also shows the limitations of human beings in understanding the world and contacting the world, contacting the world through books, and the angels who contact human beings through colors. The same, or can know something, but helpless to do something. This distance, in addition to entering the real world, there is no other way to narrow it. Only when thoughts and actions are in sync can they truly match the movement of the world.
This is my favorite movie I've ever seen. It's a way for the audience to get in touch with the world and feel the care for human beings that the director wants to show. Although it is twenty-five years late, it is better than never seeing it.
