"Wings of Desire"- Tess Berrett

Soooo I'm not sure how I felt about the movie..

Here's what I liked:

  • The style of the filming
  • It made me think harder/more actively than many American films do
  • It had some good messages- love makes life worth living, we need to enjoy the small things that make us happy, there are angels among us who watch over us, etc.
  • It had a happy ending
What I didn't like as much:
  • It was quite creepy
  • I was super confused for the first 20 minutes about what was happening
  • The punk concert scenes were a bit too creepy/Satanic for my taste
  • It was slow and way too long
I doubt I'll be seeing another German film anytime soon, but I will say that it was cool to watch something that was so radically different from most of the movies I've seen. 

I'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5.

  3. I honestly couldn't get through the whole thing so it is good to know there was a happy ending I guess.

  4. Agreed! It was creepy in a way, but I think that was the intent. I like your insight about how all of us have angels around us.
