A 1987 film by Wim Wenders originally called Der Himmel über Berlin (lit: 'The Heavens Above Berlin').The film depicts two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, wandering in Cold War era Berlin and listening to the thoughts of humans. Among those humans are an old man looking for the now-destroyed Potsdamer Platz and recalling the good times he used to have there; Peter Falk As Himself; and Marion, a lonely French trapezist.The angels don't directly intervene in human existence but sometimes give comfort to humans who need it, like a woman in labor, or a suicidal man on a tram, or a motorcyclist who is dying in the street after he was struck by a car. However, Damiel yearns to be human himself and to experience life as a mortal does. Eventually he falls in love with Marion the trapeze artist, and has to make a difficult choice.A sequel, Faraway So Close, was made in 1993. The first film received a very loose American remake, City of Angels, in 1998.Bruno Ganz, who plays Damiel, would explore the other extreme of the good-to-evil spectrum nearly two decades later when he played Adolf Hitler in Downfall. Curt Bois, who plays the elderly storyteller, was the pickpocket ("vultures, vultures everywhere") in Casablanca. | |

Heroic BSoD: Cassiel has one after failing to stop a young man from leaping to his death, leaping off of the Berlin Victory Column in despair before wandering all around the city in a daze, observing various scenes of human desperation. He spends the rest of the film after this in a state of deep melancholy. | |

Humans Are Bastards: Ultimately defied, as despite observing ordinary misery all around Berlin and presumably witnessing some of the worst horrors in history, the angels never lose their faith in people. At one point Damiel and Cassiel have a conversation where Cassiel muses about how humans have always fought and persecuted each other, but Damiel counters by saying that they have always loved each other as well. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Damiel leaves his angelic nature to become human and finds true love and joy on earth. Cassiel, by contrast, is left tormented by his failure to save a human. The sequel puts more emphasis on "sweet" as Cassiel becomes human, learns the meaning of life and Dies Happily Ever After, becoming an angel again, to the now-mortal Damiel's joy. | |

Growing Up Sucks | |
| Wings of Desire / int_57efd4c4 | comment |
Growing Up Sucks: The first few times we hear the "Song of Childhood" poem, it's musing about how children lose their sense of awe and wonder as they grow older. Subverted in the latter half of the film after Damiel becomes human, when the poem instead begins to talk about how some things in life never lose their wonder as one becomes an adult. | |

Color Motif | |
| Wings of Desire / int_b869b5b1 | comment |
Color Motif: It eventually becomes clear that events shown from the perspective of the angels are Deliberately Monochrome while scenes not from their perspective are the ones in color. This is illustrated by a scene in Marion's trailer that shifts from black and white to color after Damiel leaves. Moments after Damiel takes human form, he buttonholes a random passerby to find out what all the colors are called. | |

First Time Feeling | |
| Wings of Desire / int_bf68ac04 | comment |
First Time Feeling: Damiel's euphoria when he finally has human senses, particularly sight. One of the first things he does is buy a very bright red and blue jacket at a secondhand store. | |

| Wings of Desire / int_d028ca10 | comment |
Deliberately Monochrome : The film is shot that way because the angels don't see colours until one of them becomes human. | |

Match Cut | |
| Wings of Desire / int_ed503b22 | comment |
Match Cut: One scene smoothly transitions from a stock footage clip of a bombed-out 1945 Berlin street to a clean, modern 1986 street. (Maybe the same one?) There is a similar match cut between a black-and-white view of the Berlin skyline (right after the boy jumps to his death, from Cassiel's perspective) to a color shot of the skyline from a hotel room where Peter Falk is watching an interview of himself on television. | |
