My experience with watching “Wings of Desire” was a terrible
one. The reasons for such a terrible experience are threefold. First, the movie
resurfaced all the depressing and gross memories from my mission. Second, I
felt lost for the three-fourths of the movie. Third, that movie could have been
at least 30 minutes shorter – and should have been at least 45 minutes shorter.
Despite my disapproving nature of the movie I thought some
parts were interesting. The movie had a very slow pace, that pace juxtaposed to
the fast pace American films was fresh. I’m not sure if this is characteristic
of all German films but “Wings of Desire” had a lot less dialogue than American
films. Also, I thought the perspective of the nature of angels was very
unorthodox and compelling.
I totally agree! I was lost for most of it too - yet on rotten tomatoes it got like a 98%! But it did have a good message!

ReplyDeleteYeah I had to leave early I was too annoyed with being lost for the majority of it.
