I really did love the movie, Mama Mia! The other day I watched Passion of Mind which starred Demi Moore. She plays a woman who is leading two very distinct lives, one in France, the other in NYC. When she goes to sleep in one place, she awakes in the other. And vice versa. I was surprised to see that her lover in her France life was one of Meryl Streep’s lovers in Mama Mia! I’ve never heard of or seen Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd prior to Mama Mia. This evening I was slumming around Youtube, watching videos of Björn Andrésen (the pretty boy in Death in Venice), when I found the oddest video: snippets of the movie, Den Enfaldige mördaren. Björn Andrésen plays an opera singing angel who apparently instructs a poor, simple-minded man to kill his boss. And guess who played the simple-minded man? Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd!

Seeing Björn Andrésen dressed up like an angel, I can’t help but think of other movies that include man-angels.

Here’s a couple I came up with:

– ORLANDO – Fast forward to about 4:30. Check out the floating, golden, man-angel singing in a high-pitched voice!

– BARBARELLA – Pygar was a tall, tan, loin cloth-wearing, man-angel who explained that Angels ARE love! And I do apologize to all patriots for featuring a video containing Hanoi Jane Fonda.

-Der Himmel über Berlin – I am not really sure this counts because I don’t think Damiel, Cassiel or Peter Falk are ever shown with wings. In Wim Wender’s universe, angels don’t have wings but rather wear wrinkly trench coats.

That’s all I got. Can anyone come up with other movies featuring man-angels???? More points will be given to those who find man-angels with crazy wings!
