I have seen this movie several times, but every time I watch it, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. In the film, Nicholas is an angel, without wings, wearing only a black robe, walking lonely in a city, taking away souls who are about to leave the world. This angel is very special. When he takes every soul, he asks them what their greatest wish is and writes it down in a notebook. When he took away a little girl, it was an innocent and cute little girl who didn't know what death was, so there was no so-called fear. As usual, he asked her what she wished, and it turned out to be a beautiful set of pajamas. He talked to her about wings, and she said, if you can't fly, what's the use of having wings. . . This should be the theme of the film. If the value of the existence of the soul cannot be realized, what is the use of having a virtual shell. . .
Out of the angel's mission, he had to forcefully take away from her the soul that he was supposed to take away. She is a good doctor and is passionate about her work. At that moment, she walked into the operating room with the infinite hope of the patient's family. During the operation, she always tried her best and operated according to reasonable procedures, but she was still unable to save the patient. She felt that there was a powerful force that had been fighting against her all the time. In front of this force, she seemed so insignificant and powerless. In this age of highly developed technology, it has become absurd and even shameful to believe in the existence of gods, but she really felt such an existence. She cried helplessly, seeing her tears, his heart also ached, how much he wanted to touch her and tell her that everything was not her fault, she had done enough. . .
In the operating room, her firm eyes were connected with the helpless and sad moment, which penetrated into his soul and left a beautiful exit. Before that, he had never known that such wonderful things existed in this world. As long as he could touch her, smell the fragrance of her hair, and feel love and sorrow with her, he would pay whatever price he could. Including the eternity of the body. . .
Finally, he became a human who had to bear the burden of life, old age, sickness and death as he wished, and finally was able to touch her, but everything was so short-lived, because she was taken away by another angel in a car accident, leaving him alone. . . He is sad but not desperate, because she has always lived in his heart, which is enough for him to spend the rest of his life in this world without being lonely. At the place where the angels gathered, he jumped into the sea to swim with passion, and told everyone with his actions that because of love, he could give up the eternity of the flesh; because of love, he could always stick to the original choice.
What moved me were the songs in the film. The melody had a touch of sadness and the lyrics were beautiful. . . "I am willing to trade my eternity for the moment of being with you." . .
