From Criterion:

"Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art."

The song is "Acrobat" by As Tall As Lions, and I though the two fit together perfectly.

I take no credit for the music or the imagery...only the blending of the two together. This is merely my attempt at tribute art and editing.

Simply Beautiful..builds nicely..love the way you went from B&W to Color, you should be very proud of this!....outstanding!

[Tkreft1128]

Thanks! But I didn't change any colors around. The point of view of the angels is in B&W as filmed by Wenders. The color scenes are human points of view.

[ZABRISKIEPOINTER]

I know you didn't change any colors around, I was complimenting you on the way that you edited it to the music, it changed to color, after fading to black, it flowed with your musical accompaniment, it was a compliment to you editing skills, I am familiar with the film I know it goes from B&W to color!!!!!!!

[Tkreft1128]

Hahahah, OK OK. I just know that sadly, it's not a commonly known film.

[DearestBecky]

Very interesting. I like it.

[Tkreft1128]

Thankyathankya.

[Chkhito999]

Well Done

[battle4theprize]

great song choice. it touched my heart to see the man looking at the woman as a child on the swing. It makes me think how the world pollutes the soul and we need to see our childhood and cling to hope in this decaying world. Jesus is the Keyy. God bless.

Awesome.

[amfmortiz]

Si realmente existen los angeles, entonces estoy seguro de que hay algunos de ellos entre nosotros.

@Tkreft1128 the movie is really beauty. Wim Wenders is one my favorite film makers. Your video is very good. One question, who sing.

Solveig Dommartin was glorious in this film. She is missed. This a beautiful tribute to one of the greatest movies ever made.
