CITY OF ANGELS

 a heavenly movie...

"I would rather have a mortal life with her, than an eternity without her.."

Thus the narrative atmosphere of the movie CITY OF ANGELS  was set. It is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen so far..

 

Is the setting LA?..Maybe..Sometimes we see two of the angels sitting on top of the famous Hollywood sign, unseen just like any other spirits ..One is Seth played by Nicholas Cage...He was an angel who fell in love with a brilliant heart specialist  played by Meg Ryan.

Meg Ryan, once a star of   the Soap Opera AS THE WORLD TURNS  lent a brilliant performance in the movie. She and Nicholas Cage blend with such magic chemistry that made this remake of WINGS OF DESIRE  a modern classic of its own..She is lean, small pert and none of the bosominess  of other movie stars but the expression of her eyes and slightly turned up mouth makes her an easy favorite of many film loving fans..

Dying, in the movie seems to be an easy thing...Angels, it seems are in this earth just mainly to help others and also to accompany the souls whose time has come...One of the questions asked by the angel to the newly separated  soul is:

"What do you like most when you are on earth?"

There are various answers. And Seth has all them written down in his book...

 

When he could not help himself any longer, he decided to change into a mortal by simply falling down from the top of a skyscraper..It gives a different meaning to the term  FALLEN ANGEL..

It is also a good movie to see this Christmas..or any night of the year...

Its soundtrack is also a keeper..a touching song about angels was sang by Alanis Morrisete..

 

Did Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan live happily ever after?

 

Rent the movie..Or better buy it because you would want to see it over and over again!...
