I didn't like "City of Angels" either. My wife and I were both disappointed. Indeed, lo these many years later, the main things I remember from the movie with any fondness are Dennis Franz's profligate fallen angel, and Andre Braugher as the angel who watches Nick Cage's fall.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> City of Angels is an abomination and insult to one of the greatest movies ever made. Wings of Desire is pure beautiful aching film making genius. The people who made City of Angels should be forced to sit in an enclosed room with a pack of gassy dogs until the end of days.

It's strange. I've watched several foriegn movies paired with their American counterparts. The American movies almost always fail with me. The only exception that I can think of is "The Lake House". It's not just horror movies that suffer. "Wings of Desire" became a less worthy american movie, "City of Angels" "The Wicker Man" because an absolutely awful American movie. I prefer "Ringu" to "The Ring". The Dutch film "The Vanishing" became a lousy film, even though done by the same director. On the other hand, other countries eat up our action-adventure pictures like crazy. Is there a national character that can not be translated into film? We can make a "Die-Hard" and no one else can? They can make "Oldboy" and we can't? (and yes, I heard that there is an American version of that planned.) --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, KeithBJohnson@ ... wrote: > > How do you think it will be changed when it's redone as an American film?
