Have you seen the sequel "Far Away, So Close"..... For a sequel, it is actually quite good, if not equal to Wings of Desire..... If you haven't seen it, it is a must.... I have both in my collection...... Thanks for bringing it up ..... I think I will watch both again..... Wings of Desire is perhaps my most favorite movie….

Jennie - wish we could watch it together. Ellen - "...When the child was a child, It played with enthusiasm, and, now, has just as much excitement as then, but only when it concerns its work." A reminder to play. Helle - that’s so interesting about the age of the cinematographer, especially given the old man character in the film.

Ellen -
“…When the child was a child,
It played with enthusiasm,
and, now, has just as much excitement as then,
but only when it concerns its work.”

A reminder to play.

Interesting how some images stay in the mind. I especially loved the image of the angel (Bruno Ganz) standing on the rooftop of a very tall building, looking out over Berlin, with a giant steel eagle gargoyle next to him. One of Wim Wenders most successful films, I think. The cinematographer, Henri Alekan, was apparently very old (80s-90s) when he shot this. You've inspired me to have another look at this film.

When the child was a child, it didn’t know that it was a child, everything was soulful, and all souls were one..... Song of Childhood
By Peter Handke

When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea.

When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one…..
