Very powerful film about the nature of humanity and the power of love. Beautifully photographed, haunting. Meg is at her best. Ending tore me up. I know that many prefer the German original. I have not seen that entire movie, but I preferred this one. It is more personal and so more I think the impact is greater (not to mention my dislike for sub-titles).

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
An angel, who longs to know more about human beings and finds himself attracted to a hard-working female doctor, decides to sacrifice his heavenly status and fall to earth so he can experience love. Americanization of Wim Wenders' haunting WINGS OF DESIRE is--by the very nature of American movie conventions--less ethereal than the original film, but still only the climax seems routine and therefore disappointing. Panavision.

Even Cage can't ruin this one. However, the ending is weak. I love this movie, it's very romantic and tells so much about humanity and love. I think Meg Ryan is at her best here. The angels are very intriguing characters.

It's a very sad and touching movie. It broke my heart at the end. I love the perspective of the way angels feel and belive. Very eerie and beautiful.
