Have you ever seen Wim Wenders’ original, “Wings of Desire”?
I heartily recommend it to anyone who is irrationally opposed to state surveillance, (or, by extension if you simply resent the idea of an omniscient God) just because it is an achingly beautiful and true film that proposes a more reasonable viewpoint.
- PyWoody 2mo agoI'll bite: How is a movie about an angel falling in love with a trapeze artist pro state surveillance?
- King-Aaron 2mo ago> Have you ever seen Wim Wenders’ original, “Wings of Desire”? Literally never heard of it, and honestly I'm not sure I care to if your response to my comment is thinking I'm "irrationally opposed to state surveillance".
- PyWoody 2mo agoWings of Desire is a beautiful movie. It's probably my all time favorite. Bruno Ganz is sensational in it and Peter Falk has some great scenes, too.
- King-Aaron 2mo agoDid it cure you of an irrational aversion to being tracked by the government and corporate surveillance apparatus?
- PyWoody 2mo agoNo, but it cures me ennui every time. 10/10. Would recommended if in tailspin.
- poopbutt16 2mo agoWill it still apply if I'm rationally opposed to state surveillance? Wait, lol do you thing an omniscient god and the state police are the same thing?
- iamnothere 2mo agoIn response I will offer “The Lives of Others.” Fiction, but historically grounded.
