Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Dylanweasel — 25 Oct 2018
The film Wings of Desire, a foreign film made in 1987, takes an intriguing approach to the element of color and plot. It is directed by Wim Wenders, who is a German filmmaker. It is based in Berlin, which at the time was divided by the Berlin Wall.
Even with the high potential of the film, it was not executed properly. This is apparent due to the confusing plot and its overall appeal to a viewer. The film is quite drab and lacks cohesiveness which takes away from its potential of being a good movie.
The film overall has a very eerie feel which can be a little unsettling at times due to the choice of music which some viewers might enjoy, while others may not. There are many different reasons for this review, including the amount of random camera scenes that are extremely dragged out and have no reason to be in the film.
The plot is so hard to understand/follow that it may leave you wondering what is happening for the entire first half of the film.
