The mood of watching a movie is actually very simple. The most exciting time may be when you encounter a movie that connects with your heart. And tonight, I met. "Under the Berlin Sky".

Speaking of the experience of watching movies, although I have enjoyed many wonderful works that moved me, I have also seen many famous movies that made me feel very dull. The most unbearable thing for me is Citizen Kane, which is called "the greatest film in the history of cinema". When I watched it, it was really painful. The habit of just holding on to read it. And "Under the Berlin Sky", a typical European literary film that many people call a "boring film", made me so happy. When I saw the first picture at the beginning, the nib of the pen left writing on the yellowish paper, and when I heard the man's slightly hoarse voice in the background; when I saw that only the eyes of the children could see the angel, the child I fell in love with this movie when I looked up at the transparent wings on the sky from different angles. Of all the movies I like, this one is not the most shocking, not the most sophisticated, or the most touching, but it is the one that makes me feel the most secure. The heart is very happy, no matter how all the details and light and shadow are played out, they are all in accord with their hearts, and they only feel good no matter what. All I can say is that it is my cup of tea. It is the joy in the bottom of my heart, the strong resonance that I have never had before, and the deep recognition unconsciously. It seems that I have been looking for an old friend for many years, and I am determined, not hurried, and know that he must be waiting to meet me somewhere. When I saw him, I didn't feel ecstatic, I didn't slap my hands in admiration, I just smiled and said, finally let me meet you.
Perhaps, the question "Which movie do I like the most", which has been unanswerable for a long time, finally met the answer tonight.

I have seen "City of Angels" a long time ago. While paying tribute to "Under the Berlin Sky", the style has also changed into a typical Hollywood routine. The main line has completely become love. There are no metaphors in "Berlin". , beauty is beautiful, but inevitably loses its depth. But with the imagery and context removed from "Bai", the fresh style still easily touches people's hearts. The filming background of "Berlin Under the Sky" is scheduled after the end of World War II, which also leads to thinking about Berlin and World War II, which undoubtedly deepens the moral of the film.

These black angels. Recessive wings have no sense of touch, taste, or smell, and cannot distinguish colors. They can hear the inner voice of human beings and can influence people's thinking, from pessimism to optimism, but they are still powerless to human actions. This is the greatest sorrow of the angels in this film.

The male protagonist in this film, Angel Damier, is played by Bruno Ganz. Compared with Nicolas Cage in "City of Angels", he has more vicissitudes. Unlike his companion, the angel Cassirer, who watched the suffering of the world with a cold eye, he was a gentle and sensitive man. I like his deep and quiet eyes, even the little braid at the back of his head is so interesting. Watching him wander among the numb and forbearing people, reading their thoughts, stroking his hands on their shoulders silently, with a sympathetic light in his eyes. The rhythm of the film is very slow, the camera switches and wanders among different groups of people, and different people have different inner voices, which seems to be meaningless and slightly messy.
finally. When he saw the girl at the circus swinging in the air with goose feather wings, I fell in love with her at the same time. That girl doesn't have the sweet smile and soft corners of her mouth like Meg Ryan in "City of Angels", but she has a temperament that makes people dare not blaspheme in admiration, even though she is just a circus actress. At this time, the first color shot of the film appears, when the heroine takes off her costume and exposes her clean back. She also always felt that somewhere in the dark, there was someone she was waiting for. At this moment, he smiled softly behind her invisible.
He met his kind who was an angel, and then he gave up his angelic status for her: "I will embrace her with open arms, and she will embrace me". When he turned into a human, took his first footprints on the sand, and left his first footprint on the world, the whole picture became colored again. He saw his own blood on his fingers, and he also showed a childlike smile.
After that, his meeting with the girl was a natural fit. Without making people feel that there is too much craftsmanship and tacky far-fetched modification like Ha Laiwu, the sentence "We finally met" is so logical and outrageous. In the end let me meet you. You came to take me home, I finally found a home.

The lines throughout the film are very beautiful. Omg, I'm fascinated by every sentence of them, every sentence! They are so moving, like gorgeous and absurd song chapters. "When the child was a child", that poetic text runs through the whole film. There are also the words in the last paragraph of the diary, so affectionate, just like the flowers in the dust.

"When the child was a child, he shook his arms and staggered.
He hoped that the streams would merge into small rivers, the rivers would become rapids, and the waters would become the sea.
When the child was a child, he was still ignorant.
In his eyes Everything is full of life, all life is the same.
When the child was a child, he had no prejudice against everything, he was straightforward.
He always crossed his legs and sat silently with a disheveled wisp on his forehead hair, even when photographed.

When a child was a child, he would always ask these questions.
Why am I me and not you? Why am I here, why am I not there? Where does
life come from ? The beginning? Where does the universe end? Is
life under the sun just a dream? Is
what I see, hear, and realize just an illusory mirage? Does
evil really exist? Does evil exist?
What ? Will that be like that? I'm not... the me I used to be.
And one day, will I be the person I am now?

When a child was a child, choked on spinach, beans, rice, pudding, And steamed cauliflower.
Now he eats them all, not because he's forced to.
When kids were kids, they would occasionally wake up in a stranger's bed, but now it's the norm.
A lot of people looked beautiful back then , but now only luck.
At that time he knew everything about what heaven looked like, and now he can only guess, can't imagine it as nothingness, and today he shudders at the thought of it.
When the child was a child, he acted with enthusiasm, and now he is afraid of being implicated, when he is concerned with his own interests.

When the child was a child, he ate apples and bread as staples, and that was enough, and it is still the same today.
When the child was a child, the apple fell into his little hands, and it still does today.
The fresh walnuts made his tongue sore, and it still does.
Whenever he reached the top of the mountain, he was always eager to climb higher mountains. He was in the city, and he always longed for the wider city, and he still does.
He was so happy when he climbed the cherry tree, and still is.
He flushed with shame in front of strangers, and he still does.
Looking forward to the arrival of the first snow, and I still look forward to it now.
When the child was a child, he took the stick and threw it at the tree like a spear, and he still does today. "


"Love is here,
we are intoxicated in love, lingering and
sorrowful
love , both in the dark night and
in the bright day, it is more in full swing at
this moment ,
who is the master and who is the slave?"
I have her and she has me. Who in the
world claim to have never loved anyone?
I'm bathing in love
Humans can't live forever This kind of situation can last
forever
That night I know what it's like to be surprised
She floated up and took me home
I finally found my home Marriage
is the only time, this love
But this situation lasts
forever , until death
I will live and die with them.
Our two stories have twists and turns
. The power of love between a man and a woman makes me change from god to man.
I ...
finally...
know...
as... an
angel...
what I don't understand...
"

Wings of Desire quotes

  • Marion: It must finally become serious. I've often been alone, but I've never lived alone. When I was with someone I was often happy. But the same time, it all seemed a coincidence. These people were my parents. But it could have been others. Why was this brown-eyed boy my brother and not the green-eyed boy on the opposite platform? The taxi driver's daughter was my friend. But I might as well have put my arm round a horse's neck. I was with a man in love and I might as well have left him there and gone off with the stranger I met in the street. Look at me, or don't. Give me your hand, or don't. No. Don't give me the hand, and look away. I think tonight is the new moon. No night more peaceful. No bloodshed in all the city. I've never played with anyone and yet I've never opened my eyes and thought: Now it's serious. At last it's becoming serious. So I've grown older. Was I the only one who wasn't serious? Is it our times that are not serious? I was never lonely neither when I was alone, nor with others. But I would have liked to be alone at last. Loneliness means I'm finally whole. Now I can say it as tonight, I'm at last alone. I must put an end to coincidence. The new moon of decision. I don't know if there's destiny but there's a decision. Decide! We are now the times. Not only the whole town - the whole world is taking part in our decision. We two are now more than us two. We incarnate something. We're representing the people now. And the whole place is full of those who are dreaming the same dream. We are deciding everyone's game. I am ready. Now it's your turn. You hold the game in your hand. Now or never. You need me. You will need me. There's no greater story than ours, that of man and woman. It will be a story of giants... invisible... transposable... a story of new ancestors. Look. My eyes. They are the picture of necessity, of the future of everyone in the place. Last night I dreamt of a stranger... of my man. Only with him could I be alone, open up to him, wholly open, wholly for him. Welcome him wholly into me. Surround him with the labyrinth of shared happiness. I know... it's you.

  • Peter Falk: [inner voice] Yellow star means death. Why did they pick yellow? Sunflowers. Van Gogh killed himself. This drawing stinks. So what? No one sees it. Someday you'll make a good drawing. I hope. I hope. I hope.
