Default Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...

"Himmel Uber Berlin" or "Wings of Desire" is the best movie of Wim Wenders, inspired by the novel of Peter Handke.
Among all of the semantic layers, this is the core:
There are two angels over the (divided) Berlin.
In spite of all angelic rules, one of them fall in love with a woman named Desire.
Because of Her, he wants to fall "down", to become a Human.
It is happening, he is down, his angelic armor falls over his head.
This video is my favorite part of this master piece, when ex-angel is making his first human steps.
The scene when he is happy to see his blood is pure anthology.
There is nothing spectacular in these sequences, but there is so much.
Watch the movie if you can.
I just want to say: It is not so bad being Human, you know...

Love&Respect
