Wings of Desire

My least favorite film of the class. This movie was so hard for me to watch but I know it was a wonderful film. I had such a hard time connecting to the characters because they were so un-connectable. The lives of angels are not meant to be shared with humanity. Humans cannot comprehend the power these creatures have and the angels cannot live the full and diverse lives that humans lead. This film focused on the life of an angel that just wanted to be loved. His willingness to give up his image and power for a human life shows the emotional nature of existence. Love is the holy figure in this film, by letting the character explore his love through a veil of angelic power their connection grows. Her love for more and his love for more gives them something to look for in each other. His desire to be able to love her helped him escape into the world of humanity.
