Today, I watched the German film Himmel über Berlin a.k.a. Wings of Desire in English. I found out that my favorite movie entitled City of Angels was just a remake of the above mentioned 1987 film. So, I was curious and actually downloaded a file to see whether Wings of Desire is really that worth watching (I can't find any other sources for this film except through downloads - thanks to the uploader!). However, it turned out this almost two-hour film was kinda boring, with many unnecessary scenes. I can handle slow movies though especially if those movies contain good storyline. But for this film, nah! maybe, the good side of this film was its originality because of the black and white concept with colored scenes on the latter part. From the beginning ‘til the end, I somehow suffered watching this movie and I just compel myself to finish it no matter how boring it was (just want to compare and contrast Wings of Desire with City of Angels). Nonetheless, Wings of Desire really tackled wide range of ideas, with mixed emotions involved. yet in the end, I still gave two thumbs up to City of Angels played by Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. If you viewers really want to watch Wings of Desire, download the torrent from thepiratebay.org and the subtitles from (http://www.opensubtitles.com)
