I love the various vignettes, and the scene with Cassiel and the man contemplating suicide on the roof makes me cry every time.<br /><br />The remake is almost laughable- it just misses the mark, I think. I actually did a film paper years ago comparing the two, focusing on how Wenders' ideas became so Americanized.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471664551639091150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-189381844032632582010-11-09T22:03:14.778-08:002010-11-09T22:03:14.778-08:00I better put this movie on my "To-watch"...I better put this movie on my "To-watch" list.

I trul..."Now I know what no angel knows"<br /><br />I truly love this movie, and the way it gives angels a sense of existentialism. When I think back on it, I'll always remember it as the movie my wife and I saw on one of our first dates (And yes - I was testing her to see if she had good taste in movies).<br /><br />I'm enjoying reading this series you've decided to tackle...keep 'em coming!Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
