Peter Falk - Der Himmel Uber Berlin (Wings of Desire) , 1987

[@santiago2434ify]

This scene literally saved my life, I was just in a bad place mentally emotionally physically and I just didn’t want to be here for the life of me, I clicked on this black and white movie,(they’re my favorite) and man…. The beauty in the little things, this movie changed the way I was looking at things, enjoy the little things, enjoy the people, enjoy life… I really didn’t wanna be here and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t gonna be here but this film was the one that kept me around, I’m not doing any better than before, but I have a different outlook on life, take it slow, enjoy it :) love ya 😊

You summed up one of the biggest reasons why we need art in our lives.

[@dpainter1526]

Glad you're still here 😊 Never give up!-- and remember, no one is ever really alone. God bless and keep you!🕊

[@KermitHall]

I'm glad you're here, to drink coffee, to smoke cigarettes, to make a line, to rub your hands in the cold. Life is the small things, and we need each other compañero

[@animatewithdermot]

It had a huge effect on me. Saw it in the late 80s, and definitely changed a lot about me. Something that I don't think modern film-makers even think they can aspire to.

[@magicknight13]

So glad you're here!!!!

[@christianbourne8880]

Peter Falk plays Peter Falk in the most Peter Falk way...❤️

[@driloc]

Nailed it!!

[@nematube]

Saw this movie as a teenager - inspired me to go on a pilgrimage to Berlin, visit the original filming sites, hang out at snack stalls, drinking hot coffee on cold November days...

I did the same ! Compañero !

[@MichaelRubin1975]

“compañero.” That line. It makes me weep every. Single. Time.

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

Me too.

[@abracadaverous]

I'm a fan of so many of Peter Falk's movies, but this is my favorite performance of his, hands-down. This scene is so beautiful.

[@resplndnt]

My heart melted when I first saw this scene

[@michaelstearnesstearnes1498]

All of the major actors in this film have now passed. But i feel that they are all still here.

[@mstorandelli]

I can't see you, Peter, but I know you're there

[@reallics]

I know it too

[@BluDevil93]

As an art diarist/doodler, I always come back to this clip when I need a boost in my creativity. No idea why, but it's invigorating stuff! And I love Peter Falk's visual art too (worth checking out I must say), it's brilliant.

[@Brotherofthe4thCompany]

This is perhaps my favorite scene in this movie. After that is the cameo from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

[@abbieananas]

I love how the guy behind the counter keeps looking at Peter Falk like he's nuts XD

[@megaham1552]

I always come back to this scene every now and again

[@anadominguez4471]

This is my film!! I' ve seen It a lot of times!! No angel as Bruno Ganz has touch my soul....

[@scottcurrie]

Thank you for posting this. It's also my favorite scene in any film.

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

This scene will never get old or fade...

[@Earthling20]

I remember that scene... gave me goosebumps. pretty cool he played himself, too. RIP PETER FALK

[@acidi82]

This is one of my favorite scenes of any movie.

[@mandrian8707]

Master piece of all times.

[@69waveydavey]

I was there last week, the place looks completely different but the bunker is still there with the same writing on and the remains of anhalter bahnhof, went to the library too, amazing place. I then went to the Sony centre to the film museum and there was a Wim Wenders exhibition on, good holiday!

[@69waveydavey]

@d R You won't recognise the area even if you walked right through it! The place I think you're on about is Potsdammer Platz. Where the old man sat in the chair with an overhead railway in the background? The RAF levelled the place, there was one building in the background that is now surrounded by high rise buildings. The building next to the circus was lifted and moved and is in the Sony building about 100 meters from where it was. You can go inside, it's where Nick Cave is playing in the film.

[@kidblonde]

Great upload. Peter Falk was a great actor and - I'm sure - a great man. Columbo is the best program ever produced for TV, and then there are the earlier "character actor" parts, the John Cassavetes movies, etc... endless hours of pleasure for us, and forever.... R.I.P. Thanks for posting this

[@sputnikburan]

Peter, thank you for nice moments watching your film, it's sad to think i will never know you in person. thank you again. From Italy.

[@Luvmypets123]

The night he died and the day after I could smell tobacco smoke really bad. I found out that evening that he had died. R.I.P Peter Falk...One more thing..my cat is named Columbo

[@boyinthedrain]

Best performance by someone playing himself

[@resplndnt]

Peter Falk performance in this movie is beautiful

[@magicknight13]

My mom introduced me to this movie! ❤

[@daledavis768]

RIP Bruno Gans

[@francescakatz6563]

I think Peter Falk brought a common normality,if you will,to any film,esp.this one

[@iamroughdraft]

a masterpiece.

[@linuslumpitzsch6424]

Wunderschöner Film von Wim Wenders. Ganz großartig besetzt mit Peter Falk.

[@pmj521]

Thank you for this posting. Wonderful actor and wonderful movie:)

[@mattm3729]

I was so taken by this scene - so mesmerized - that I felt compelled to rent this. And it’s a nice picture and all - don’t get me wrong, but I was under the impression that it would be more about this man’s suffering and being saved by this godsend Columbo. I was sort of thinking like what Capra did with Clarence. It was weirdly detached from that, emotionally. Still a nice film, though.

[@dortesandal4303]

How to Feel an Angel by Peter♥️😘

[@nognilk420]

thank you Peter Falk. Your work and your name will live forever.

[@jkorshak]

I was in Berlin about 3 months before I saw the film after it first opened - the whole picture I kept getting distracted with internal, "Yeah - was there, there, saw that, remember that, shot a photo of that..." it was like I had accidentally and unknowingly taken a tour of Wenders' list of exteriors.

[@georgemanka]

Stunning. A magic moment.

[@terrywestbrook-lienert2296]

Requiescat in Pace Bruno Ganz 🌹🌿

[@georgemanka]

So many good things!

[@georgemanka]

Brilliant!

[@greacen]

what a beautiful moment

[@hikari2905]

RIP peter falk. u have tasted this mortal life.

[@albertomariani2681]

PETER. Non riesco a vederti ma so che ci sei. Lo sento. Stai girando qua attorno da quando sono qui. Mi piacerebbe vedere la tua faccia, giusto per guardarti negli occhi e dirti quanto è bello essere qui. Solo per toccare qualcosa. "Questo è freddo": fa sentire bene! Quaggiù è bello fumare, prendere un caffè, e se lo fai insieme è fantastico! Oppure... disegnare! Vedi, prendi una matita, fai una linea scura, poi ne fai una chiara, e l'insieme è bello. O, quando hai le mani fredde, se le sfreghi così, insieme, è bello... è bello, fa sentire bene. Ma tu non sei quaggiù. Io sono qua, e vorrei che anche tu fossi qui. Vorrei che potessi parlarmi, perché io sono un amico... compañero.

[@누르마고메돞하비프더]

So strong and also soft

[@space8fulness]

do you know what the german sentence behind on the house mean something ? conecting to the movie ? "wer dunker raut wirft bomben"

[@anguelovgeorgi2272]

they met each other again

[@JE56777]

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

[@danthefan5378]

I beleive this is a paraphrased quote by Hunter S Thompson from from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas via "The Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat" the obit that Hunter S Thompson wrote for Oscar Zeta Acosta~The Attourney (Dr. Gonzo) that Thompson wrote a few years after his disappearance.

[@hughlang]

Farewell Peter Falk

[@space8fulness]

dekuji❤

[@ernunnos]

@zerozeroisland Peter in this scene was probably a lot like he was in real life: an angel.

[@unsinnkim3690]

how I wish, how I wish hm hm hmmmmmm...

[@rclaughlin]

RIP Otto Sander.

[@Codmate]

@rclaughlin Don't you think he drops it in order to rub his hands together?

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

I can't see ya but I know you're here. I feel it! You've been hanging around since I got here. I wish I could see your face. Just look into your eyes and tell ya how good it is to be here... Just to touch something! See, thats cold. That feel good. Or here... to smoke. Have coffee. And if you do it together it's fantastic. Or... to draw. You know you take a pencil and you make a dark line... Then you make a light line... And together it's a good line... Or when your hands are cold. You rub'em together. See, that's good, that feels good! There so many.. good things. But your not here. I'm here. I wish you were here! I wish you could talk to me! Cause... I'm a friend. Compañero.
