Motorcycle Accident--"Wings of Desire"-HQ with English subtitles

[@angryangora]

When the dying man goes over his happiest memories, you get the sense Damiel almost envies him because he's experienced life as a human.

[@jessebeegee]

why doesn’t anyone talk about the stunning camera movement invented by this scene… the way the camera eases back and forth to symbolize damiel passing the “invocation” to the dying man

[@faktablad]

This scene makes me feel like I’m dying and reflecting on the things I’ll miss most about life

[@Lauren-Starship]

The entire movie actually :)

[@小島次太郎]

if I just can watch only one movie in my whole life, I must watch this movie.

[@deadstrobe]

What about the sequel? =)

[@garyburley1960]

i can only think of two scenes that haunt me each year and make me seek out that film to watch again every year since the 80s. roy battys tears in rain speech and angel bruno ganz in this scene, pure poetry that can't be equaled. i miss rutger hauer and bruno ganz but i'm glad they left their calling card RIP.

[@illz47]

Try the Werckmeister Harmonies opening scene

[@dirkdiggler5581]

2 all time great scenes

[@CeciliaSaraiva]

Auf Wiedersehen, Bruno Ganz...amazing actor...such a beautiful scene...

[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

A coworker put the DVD for this film in my hands last year and told me to watch it. It has a way of staying with you long after you finish watching it; there are few other films that are as beautiful and as heart-felt to me. Now I think of it from time to time and long to watch it again, maybe even find a copy for my own collection..

[@deltatangofoxtot]

It is a visit with Eternity for me. This is a timeless message of our inner struggle for lightness or weight. Wim Wenders camera follows amazing dialogs and ancient dream language for me. There is a slowness and a sadness as many of the artists are now gone (2016). Thanks for your comment and visit, Donna Lang.

[@tbillyjoeroth]

you should thank that person if you haven't for wanting to share such a film with YOU; that says a lot about how they feel about you

[@MrThefall3]

ever since i saw this movie last year i just....i can't watch this without sobbing, people say you have to wait at least 30 years to experience real grief and have raw scars but i honestly beg to differ thinking about some of the things i've delt with from a young age and this just brings it all back up

[@ritahorvath8207]

I saw the movie the first time in 1988 at the age of 17 and it hit me so hard I cannot say. There is a deep knowledge in it, shown in a poetic form, finest art of cinema.

[@thomascoxe7545]

Rest in peace Bruno. You did damn good job.

[@RaySingh87]

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. R.I.P., Herr Ganz.

[@anarchobuddhist]

Brilliant, life affirming, beautiful. I cry watching this. I ❤️ Berlin

[@kevtb874]

Just discovered Wim Wenders this week, finally with Paris, Texas. It blew me away. Haven't falling in love with a movie or had such emotions brought forward from media in years. I wanted to try more of his work and see if he had any other beautiful scenes like the famous booth scene in P,T. This does it for me. Absolutely incredible scene. Will stay with me.

[@DANNexMACHINA]

It's so beautiful, the way the camera tracks, subtle and gracefully from left to right @ 0:25 to 1:37. One of my favorite pieces of film.

[@mrquizical]

Just to hard to put into words. The writing, The filming, The actors. Its as if the movie was guided by something or....... The comments here tell of its effect. This movie really never leaves you once you've seen it.

[@deafdave6468]

usually guided by the director

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

this is how we will all remember you Bruno

[@edgeyt1]

RIP Bruno.

[@ARMINIUS44]

Beautiful. English, German, French, humanity. Goosebumps.

[@louisemiller2774]

Beautiful......everyone should watch this movie.

[@pabloduran5664]

A tribute to life.

[@Auntyalias2014]

RIP Bruno Ganz - the one and only Angel I fell in love with.

[@eka8271]

Film as poetry...

[@RazziaimIrrenhaus]

Hans-Martin Stiers Debüt vor der Kamera ... ein schöner Einstand mit seiner unverkennbaren Stimme. Im Übrigen ein guter Sänger. Aber als Schauspieler fast unverzichtbar für tiefgründige Rollen, wie ich finde. Zusammen mit Ganz ist das natürlich ne Kombo, die man allein beim Zuhören genießt. :)

[@tbillyjoeroth]

thanks for posting this!!!

[@LiefertBernd]

nearly cried when I watched this scene

[@texasred2702]

Wait thirty years, when you know what loss is and how short life is. You'll cry in earnest.

[@BryceZed]

I weep when the man leaps from the Mercedes Benz building.

[@lucasdavis1964]

One of the most beautiful films. A pox one those who made "City of Angels."

[@will_it_work]

City of Angles is it's own thing, inspired by this movie. It is successful in its own right. It does not demean Wings of Desire. No reason to demean it yourself.

[@HeyhitmeBAM]

napabar No.

[@Wren64]

@@will_it_work I've never felt so angry at the end of a movie as in City of Angels.

[@afrose71]

"City of Angels" is McDonald's to Wim Wender's Palm Steakhouse.

[@gHw86]

I couldn’t stop thinking about this film after i saw it.

Bye-bye Damiel. You will always be my favorite angel.

[@deafdave6468]

Where in Berlin is this scene shot? Near a rail line I assume?

[@howsoever]

Langenscheidtbrücke in Berlin-Schöneberg. The tracks you see are from the S-Bahn.

[@deafdave6468]

@@howsoever Thanks, do you know where many of the other locations are? I'd love to find them. I found the maison de france. Im not sure which building the Mercedes sign is on, there are several

[@howsoever]

@@deafdave6468 There are many shots in Berlin-Kreuzberg, e.g. at Oranienstraße, or right next to where the Wall stood. Also some at Yorckstraße, in Schöneberg (e.g. when Ganz trades his armor for some clothes (?)). The Building with the Mercedes sign is the Europa Center, in Charlottenburg.

Saw this with my late wife back when it came out. Marvelous film. Found it hard to believe that it was the same actor when Downfall came out. You know he's a brilliant actor when he gave Hitler the slightest tinge of humanity. RIP Bruno Ganz
