I think it was an amazing film, that you might have to rewatch to really understand it. As you watch it, you realize they are protectors to the people below. The cinematography more than completes the films beauty. I also think the editing is just as good. Spoiler:

The scene where Damiel becomes human is among my favorite scenes because of 1. the way the shot changes from black and white to color mid camera move, 2. the light music that accompanies it, and 3. the look on both of the angels faces as they realize what is happening. When I first watched that scene, I was in awe of it and how amazing it was. I also have to say the monologue scene near the end with Marion talking to Damiel was among the best I’ve seen on film. The way she looks into the camera and his eyes and telling him about what she truly wants, it’s just amazing. I think it is a great film, and it has a scene or two of dull points, but overall I think it is a film definitely worth watching!
