Wings of Desire (1987) - Dir. Wim Wenders

[TheSkokuDalj]

quite possibly the greatest movie ever made

[chuntusmac]

HOw the fuck did i get here?

[MDProdTV]

European cinema has always been far superior to hollywood. This is an incredibly moving film. Saw this at The Valhalla in Sydney when it was released...

Why Brad Silberling made such a caricature of this opus in City of Angels????

[Manolian]

Cinematic masterpiece.

who wants to see the Berlin wall in original, can see them in this wonderful movie...

[johnyzero2000]

I like the original German name better than Wings of Desire.

[LaChicalina20]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....takes my breath away.

[orangevertigo]

I've seen it years ago, and it's still one of my personal favorites. Truly haunting and beautiful

[soso104]

i think "wings of desire" kinda fits the movie better

[Marenqo]

'Der Himmel über Berlin' (The Sky Over Berlin)'

- more like Heaven over Berlin, dont know why they chose Wings of Desire instead

[jgorsnapple]

Wim Wenders preferred the English Title. He lived in the U.S. and made some movies here.

[Marenqo]

@jgorsnapple

I know he made many more in the US, how do you know he preferred the English title (for a German movie in Berlin...?)?

[jgorsnapple]

@Marenqo he said so in the commentary on the DVD release of his movie.

Would love to see a subtitled version of this. I don't think it's been on Brit tv, though the follow-up "Far Away, So Close" has. Does it follow the same plot as the Hollywood version: does she die at the end? The acrobats are in the secome film, so maybe she doesn't. Please tell!

[jgorsnapple]

It's not at all like the hollywood version -- this one is more like a poem in film and its setting in Berlin is important to its meaning.

[fiestamonet]

one of the most haunting films I ever seen

[raphaelemgmail]

Maybe I'm wrong, but he was a human being before meeting the children, I think.

Tks, nice film.

[pinz2022]

"The Heaven over Berlin"

So that's the original title...

[leyif]

I would disagree with you only slightly - your use of the word 'far' and added to superior.....may I change this to outstandingly far far far far superior. A most beautiful film....Thank you.
