咫尺

少了些诗意和深刻的氛围，几个片段依旧延续了流动的影象风格。

嗯，天使纵身一跃，镜头飞向一个个工业制造工具里满目倦怠的现代人，耳语响起；把盔甲卖掉下注。下场艺术馆内面对展品，扭曲的时空和现实的交叠，不禁想起蒙克的图。结尾水上船只流动的风格，人该何去何从呢？是要满怀希望，还是继续压抑着上路吗？

两个天使的性格实际上非常迥异，而这一部跟拉大这种差距，还加入了另两位角色。如果说上一步是对真善美和爱与存在意义的追问的话，那这部可以说是对成长罪恶和救赎的解答。

呃服装也值得品味。从一开始的大衣到睡衣到便装到仿佛流浪者，而后西装。我仿佛看到了赫尔左格笔下的卡斯帕（忘记了）

依旧很爱，困了。

单看本片吧。

战争与建/拆墙，为尘世间带来种种疑惑。一位天使，两次献身拯救世人。世俗同样没忘记他。

片尾，天使在世俗中的朋友与他拯救的小姑娘的拥抱，表明战争与建/拆墙在德国这片土地留下的疑惑似乎全部消散了。

致敬布鲁诺·甘茨，还有某位头顶有奇怪胎记的大佬(这片93年的，感谢您为艺术的献身)。

I had read about this movie in a book, got interested in it and researched it on line, but that's when I found out that there’s ZERO resources with this movie in it ,not even on YOUTUBE, but luckly a guy uploaded it online on baidu without any chinese captions; Lucky me.

Now, I think the movie IS fairly great, and I want to discuss two pieces of the storyline which reminded me of some classic literature stuff which seemed to symbolize something from my point of view.First,I want to talk about that GUN;It seemed to be ''simply one of the BILLIONS of the movie props they act with'' but the more I thought about it the more suspicious this ''innocent prop'' seemed to be. Let me explain: The first time it appeared in this movie was when a teenager wanted to use it to shoot his stepdad, right? But remember that even if your stepdad IS every bit as tyrannical as he is but he is still your stepdad, AKA your father in law.Thus making it KINSLAYING, which is something that will end you up in Dante's hell.''By the way'' and later Cassiel took away that very gun as his ''first good deed'' but later on he used that same gun to rob a store. (And get himself a fake passport.)

Now, there is a famous theme in the Greek Mythology, Harmonia's necklace, with Harmonia, the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares marrying a greek hero Cadmus, and Aphrodite's LEGAL husband,Hephaestus forges her a necklace with a curse on it as his wedding gift. well__Harmonia and Cadmus were turned to snakes,Jocasta hanged herself，Eriphyle got killed by her own son__ I wonder what will happen if that pre-mentioned gun got passed on to SOMEONE ELSE__

Also,Thomas C.Foster once said that all stories are basically the same.So let me just say that I completely agree with him; some stories ARE the same if you strip them deep down into the bones. Nineteen Eighty Four and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows do share a few of the MAIN themes, and Diary of A Wimpy Kid also got ripoffed for about five to six times. So let's face it:THE REASON WHY FEW GOOD BOOKS EXIST TODAY IS BASICALLY BECAUSE OF HOW MOST OF US CAN'T EVEN FIND OUR OWN WAY OF STORYTELLING, OUR STORIES KEEP BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER! (Sorry, I have gone too far about how every story shares a parallel to other stories.)

So which story may we find after we got rid of the location of this movie, the minor characters, the minor themes and stuff like that? Faust. Let me explain. Faust, as we all know, is about a guy who treaded his soul to a devil, Mephistopheles, in exchange for some sort of youth stuff. He later fell in love with a girl named Gretchen, but since he treaded his soul to the devil she died in jail. Then in the end of the book he got saved by god for some reason. While in Far Away, So Near___Well, I still am struggling to find out about what does Emit Flesti symbolize in the movie but HE tricked Cassiel into drinking brandy (Even though I don’t understand about how Cassiel had been living for BILLIONS of years without knowing what a brandy is__) and HE’S the one who keeps hurting him even after how Raphaella keeps begging him to let Cassiel go__Anyways, both stories have one guy (specifically a man of god.) getting tricked into leading some sort of corrupt life ,(Cassiel actually started BEGGING in order to buy wine, how ridiculous.) and then stuffs happen in order for them to redeem themselves in order for them to go to heaven, even though part of Faust’s redemption might have something to do with his last word__which they(at least Cassiel did) usually grasp at. Then in the end the go to heaven. Also, the beginning of Faust starts when Mephistopheles makes a deal with god about how he will win Faust over, and god’s like “I don’t care what you do to him since a true christian will always come around one way or another.” While in Far Away, So Near Raphaella seldom reproaches Flesti for misleading Cassiel, while god just watches over everyone and the only thing we know is that god exits in the movie. So I guess that’s something both stories have in common. Also when Faust finally died in Faust among the bunch of angels who greeted him was Gretchen. While in Far Away, So Close__

Well, of course Raphaella didn’t do any wrong stuff enough to get her to be a member of the “repenting ladies” crowd but this is one thing both of the stories have in common.

But one thing they do NOT have in common is that Faust WAS tired with his current situation,(He was old, tired, and had to spend his days burying himself with books at the time.) while even though Cassiel did save that girl HIS downfall has something to do with his own STUPIDITY; first of all he couldn’t even recognize the same guy who stole his armor and nearly ended him up in jail,(Also he was tricked into gambling by the same guy and thought that gambling IS just some sort of fun maths game) he got drunk in a bus station causing a random woman to slap him in the face, then he tried to redeem himself by doing stuff like__Pouring drinks for__a bunch of__GAMBLERS (he’s a waiter at the time)__And he lack the ability to separate the nice people from the BAD guys, and then he’s basically playing the scapegoat without knowing it from start to finish__At least Peter Falk has the ability to sense the presence of angels while Cassiel lacks the ability to separate angels from FALLEN angels.

But despite Cassiel’s flaws, at least he IS kind and loyal to his friends, and he does have the ability to mark his OWN salvation. And I do like the ending of the film; since despite the fact that they shot Cassiel in the end at LEAST he’s not officially K.O. yet. And I don’t expect every films to end with a “ And They All Lived Happily Ever After”, try imagine Orwell’s 1984 with a happy ending, then we will say,”oooh, it’s just a Disney film with R rated content’s.” OK, that’s it, the end.

P.S: I know that you’re not supposed to judge a person by how he looks but__

以前我看事物是用肉眼去看。但是在我死去的那一刹那，我开始用心眼去看这个世界，所有的事物真的可以看得前所未有的那么清楚.....原来那个女孩在我心里面流下了一滴眼泪，我完全可以感受得到当时她是多么地伤心。 1、神仙也好，妖怪也好，剑只有我跟我的意中人能拔得出，就算他是妖怪，我也会一生一世跟着他，如果不能跟我喜欢的人在一起的话，就算让我做玉皇大帝我也不会开心呐 2、爱我就要付出代价 3、有一天当你发觉，你爱上一个你讨厌的人，这段感情才是最要命的 4、我不管别人怎么说我，我也不怕后世会有千千万万的人对我唾骂，我一个人承担下来 5、以前陪我看月亮的时候，叫人家小甜甜,现在新人胜旧人了，叫人家牛夫人。 6、我知道有一天他会在一-个万众瞩目的情况下出现，身披金甲圣衣，脚踏七色云彩来娶我*7、--“昨天晚上我托一只蜘蛛跟你说，叫他告诉你，我很想念你，知不知道?” 7“你又知不知道?我一直在骗你。” 8“骗就骗吧，就像飞蛾一样，明知道会受伤，还是会扑到火上，飞蛾这么傻。” 9、爱一个人需要理由吗?

咫尺天涯，1993年，德国电影，导演维姆·文德斯。

咫尺天涯，这是我看过的第三部文德斯的电影。几部电影看下来的感觉，就是电影画面实在是优美的不像话，每一部电影都可以详细推敲，每一次观看都会有不同的感受和触动。电影中常常出现诗意且闲散的表达，人们总是不停的嘟囔，有的在抱怨生活，也有的是在思考生活的本质。从我有限的文德斯观影感来看，感觉总是电影的前半部分优雅、闲散，后半部分开始集中叙事。观众的情绪被积攒已久，终于随着色彩、剧情的快速变动得到表达。

电影中印象最深刻的点

一是戈尔巴乔夫的出演。这部电影是戈尔巴乔夫的电影首秀，出演的内容也是自己演自己，从而开启了数十年如一日的演戏生涯。他或许是世界上戏路最窄的演员，没有之一。

二是娜塔莎·金斯基是真的美啊，片中天使的角色就像是量身定做，仿佛天使就该如此这般，哪怕是黑白片也挡不住的美。

三是电影中开头和结尾的长镜头，简直和柏林苍穹下一脉相传，场景宏大又富含哲思。

四是电影里面的台词。无论是天使之间的对话，还是每个人的唠叨，都充满了想法，充满了对生活的思考。我看了之后表示：好想照着这一段拍一段啊，台词真是写的太好了。

一点自己的想法

这部电影对我来说，印象最深刻的依旧是诗意的表达和散文化的影像。一方面，说是诗，是因为它的思想相当深刻，可以做出多种不一样的理解；另一方面，当影像变得散文化，就会觉得整个电影没有重点，观影者难免会觉得沉闷、无趣。

从故事上说，这部电影是柏林苍穹下的续篇，依旧保持着天使的视角和色彩的切换。这部电影依旧掺杂了对历史的自省、对现实生活的反应、对人存在的思考、对政治的独白。比如影片中，用纳粹的胶带，点燃盗版影片，运走武器等剧情，都是对历史和现实的反应。

一如柏林苍穹下，这部电影展现了东西德合并后的混乱场景，毒品与色情影片并存，混乱与秩序共生，每个人都在思考生活的意义。

（以下内容涉及剧透，请放心观看。）

在达米尔来到人间之后，他的好友卡西尔依旧在柏林四处徘徊，聆听着每一位人的心事。时间过去好几年，达米尔也有了自己的孩子，卡西尔依旧在人间流浪，却慢慢的开始变得关注起人类。

卡西尔是个善良的人，为了救意外坠楼的小女孩，卡西尔来到了人间，他的世界开始变得有了色彩。卡西尔可以和自己的朋友共进晚餐，也可以去酒吧喝的烂醉。

刚成为人的他，被堕落天使骗走了自己的盔甲，并被堕落天使处处针对，生活过得十分不如意。如果说达米尔追求爱情，体验到了生活的甜，卡西尔就是追求善良，生活却让他遍体鳞伤。

在歌手的鼓励下，卡西尔决定要做个好人，不能浑浑噩噩。就这样，他成为了一个美国人的助手。这位美国人也在寻找自己的亲妹妹。

后来，在卡西尔的帮助下，美国人和自己的妹妹重聚——原来就是自己救下的女孩的母亲。美国人也在卡西尔的帮助下，摆脱了涉黑产业。但是，代价却是卡西尔的生命。

卡西尔的善良带着他来到了人间，他却在人间尝尽世间冷暖，历尽千帆后，依旧对这个世界充满着善意，最后和自己、和自己的朋友、和生活和解，完成了对自己、对大家的救赎，也才真正明白，生命的重量。

当卡西尔死去时不知道为什么我真的很伤心，哭得淅沥哗啦。也许天使不应该死，但他一直过着潦倒的生活，和丹尼尔的区别是他没有爱情，他曾经想回复天使的身份。在感觉或者说是懂得自身重量的时候死去，参与的过程实在太疼痛。

开头太惊艳了，此外在大屏幕第一次看到了Lou reed，啊他刚走不久。
