That is the Angel

I had no special feeling when I saw the movie City of Angel before. I liked the pictures, the music and the dialogue of this movie. It's been a long long time. Well, it's been...a decade. When I turn on the TV unintentionally today, the movie is on. It's being televising that Seth has fallen into the real world and Maggie took him home, taking care of him. "Am I too late? "I couldn't marry Jordan. I'm in love with you. "What happened? "Free will. "I feel you." I break down right here. They're making love. "How's it feel? Tell me. "I can't. "Try. "Warm. Aching. "It's ok. "We fit together. "I know. We were made to fit together forever." It's SO beautiful. But when you know this beautiful thing will be ruined, you can't help heart-breaking. A tragedy is the destruction of good things showing to people. Then she's dying. She says sorry to him. "I wanted to show you everything. You came all this way." Then she died. He cried to the angel who comes to take her away. With so much pain, he asks if it's the punishment. The angel, who was of his same kind, answers gentlely, "That's life. You're living now. And one day, you' ll be dying." However, after the tears, he shows no regrets. "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand than an eternity without it." At the end of the movie, Seth comes to the beach where the angels gather round every morning. He takes off his shoes and steps into the cold sea. His old angel friend watches, and then smiles at it all.She went away. And he's moving on. Do you still believe in love, after all these harms and dispair?
