I just finished watching City of Angels. IT WAS AMAZING!!!
It stared Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan.
Right at the beginning of the movie, When Seth showed himself to Maggie, he says to her, "some things are true whether you believe them or not" I really liked this quote.
I have seen this movie millions of times before, but i never really got that Seth was an angle. In the movie, he calls himself a "messenger of God." What most people don't know, is that messenger of God in Hebrew is Angle. Now, if you think about it, Seth couldn't lie to Maggie because he was an Angle. So when she asked him what he did for a living, and he said he was a messenger, he didn't lie to her, and he avoided telling he that he could never be with her, because he wasn't human.
When Maggie finally found out that he was an angle, it was kinda sad, because its one of those moments when you sit back in your seat and sulk because that's when you realise that the perfect couple will never be able to be with each other. But of course Seth finds a way to be with the love of his life. One of Maggie's patients that she was treating had, at one time, also been an angle, but just because God gave humans free will, doesn't mean that he didn't give his angels free will. Nathaniel Messinger (Maggie's patient) told Seth, that he could turn him self back into a human, but he would have to sacrifice his pure life in order to do so. This would mean ending his life as an angle. Seth ended up jumping off of a building, and when he woke up, he was human again. He was bleeding, he could feel pain. He was alive.
The first thing he did was go to the hospital to see Maggie, but she wasn't there. When he finally found her, They fell madly in love and everything was happy.
The next day, Seth got in the shower, and Maggie went to the store on her bike. On her way back, she was hit by a semi and she died. Seth held her in his arms and she was talking about how she could see an angle.
While Seth was coping with the loss of his love, one of his friends who was an angle, came to see him. His friend, Cassiel (Andre Braugher) Asked Seth that if he would have known that Maggie was going to die, would he have still jumped off the building? Seth replied, "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One." This is the most meaningful quot i have ever read. This is what true love is supposed to look like. I know that this is just a fairy tale love story, but what if the world was actually like this? what if people fell in love, and stayed in love? This is how it was meant. We have corrupted it.
