Angel, in heaven or in heart?

Are there really angels? This is at least something that cannot be verified by current technology. Because there is no proof that there is, there is no. This logic is denied through Angel's mouth in the movie "Angel-A".

Of course, materialistic argument is not the focus of the story of Angels, which is likely to be Luc Besson's final work. The movie just tells a clear and simple story between black and white light and shadow: an angel saves a useless but kind-hearted person. Although a little joking and a little humorous, none of these can cover up the humanistic care that runs through it. In today's chaotic day, it reminds us of our pursuit of kindness and sincerity, our understanding and love for ourselves.

At the end of the film, mortals keep the angels, which inevitably leads to stereotypes. Angels are different from mortals not only by their wings and special functions, how can we use our own concepts to speculate on angels or even assimilate angels?

I haven't seen a black and white movie for many years (the last time was about Schindler's list), this time I watched it for Luc Besson, and it felt good.
