In weiter Ferne, so nah! (fall)

It's so exhausting to love people who run away from us. People believe more in the world than in us. And to believe still more...they've created an image of every thing. They expect images to allay their fears...fulfill their dreams...provide their pleasures...satisfy their longings. Human beings didn't master the Earth. The Earth has become their master. Now people are besieged by new lies every day. Ever louder, baser and more intrusive lies...which dull their senses...so they're unable to hear our message. "But the heart of this people is grown hard...their eyes are closed...and their ears can't hear...lest they see with their eyes...and hear with their ears and understand with their heart."

What the hell, is this actually from Wings of Desire? I don't remember this scene at all, It must have been been cut from the version i watched.

@jimbrim5 Nope. This is a story about another angel Cassiel: Faraway, So Close! (1993)

Wings of Desire and this film fundamentally changed the way I see life. Artistic mastery.

Danke! :)

Wunderbar und berührend

@jimbrim5  Bruno Ganz is already a human being.and Otto Sander still an angel. It is in a way a sequel but an own movie.

@Capocrim I agree. This film has haunted me for years, a constant reminder to wake up, tune into the beauty of life which can become so easily obscured.

A HA!!! This was "after-market"! This was no outtake but a revision. This actor has aged (filmed in 1987) although Natassja still captivates.

If you have an extra $40.00,, buy the 2 disc version. I love this movie and none of my friends...or anyone I know knows of it. I do my best.

I can't take my eyes off of Nastassja Kinski

so sad to live without an angel by my side :-(

que la vie est triste sans la présence d'un ange à mes cotés...

Topicdejan, your notation is very well expressedand very true. The humanity of living is very burdensome, if only people could see and understand what God is all about, what living is all about, what Love is all about, with out the corruption that man adds to theese things that we all want, but through the hardness of our hearts and the blindness of our eyes we just don't get it. Wings of Desire and Faraway so close just reminds me of the un seen and un herd of.
