Wings of Desire : Wim Wenders

Very few films have dealt with and summarised the whole of world  like Wim Wenders' Wings of Desires (1987). Terrence Malick has also made such film with high care and grace. 

I find the film quite analogous in relations to Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev (1966) with all of point of view shots, ariel and arc angled camera movements and especially pan zooming marvelous. The tones and filters of switching from black and white to colors are also significantly meaningful to the narratives.

I was surprised in thinking that the narrative form using magic realism in film in  1987 in collaboration with Peter Handke ( Nobel Laureate in literature in 2019) whereas Salman Rushdie had concurrently been writing The Satanic Verses (1988) in literature.

Both of them had sourced their inspiration from biblical narratives. Angeles' point of views of explicating the validity of external realities and understanding of human perceptions.

Wings of Desire is full of metaphysical and epistemological investigation and  reasoning I have seen in any film. As if I were reading Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (1974).

Finally I am in full astonishment when I heard Marion skpok in French, angel Damiel can communicate with any language. Using multiple languages in any literature and films is a surprise for me.
