    While the film itself did not make me immensely emotional near the end like Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire’s aerial look of humanity as a whole is what really touched me. Just like Harry Dean as Travis, it’s just so fascinating and moving and watching Bruno Ganz observe and be slowly moved by the plights of people at their low points. It sounds creepy, but I enjoy watching peoples daily routines and listening to what interests them at the time.…

    Some of these sequences and effects are just so awe inspiring, especially for the time that this film was made. My favorite elements are definitely the costumes and that amazing score.

    Damn does this whole film just ooze style and grace. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much but the further it went on, the more my eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I actually had to sit up and get completely invested in those last 30 minutes or so. Even when I guessed most of the twists like 5 minutes before they happened, it still made me say something out loud. You can really feel the rage and bitterness from Meiko Kaji, with her eyes widened and a blank expression. She’s a demon out for blood, and nobody is getting a happy ending here.
