劇情簡介

洛杉矶有個美妙的名字，叫做天使之城。塞斯就是這座城市上空的一個天使，他的工作是當個引路人，把人死後走出的靈魂帶到天堂，以免它們在城市半空做孤魂野鬼。所以，塞斯最常去的地方是醫院。

一天，賽斯出現在洛杉矶一家醫院的手術間，醫生正在極力搶救病人，但最終賽斯還是帶走了他。但塞斯自己的心神卻留在醫院，因為自己忘不了片刻之前和瑪吉的對視她的眼神，那目光裡的堅定和執着深深震撼了賽斯，其實瑪吉根本看不到他，隻是自己恰巧站在瑪吉眼前。瑪姬因為手術失敗而無比自責，感到絕望無力。這期間賽斯一直默默地陪在瑪姬身邊，盡管瑪姬感受不到他的存在。

賽斯愛上了瑪姬，這個美麗善良而自信的女醫生。他多麼希望瑪姬能注意到他，多麼希望能夠碰觸瑪姬（天使是沒有觸覺的），并走進她的生活。凡人看不見天使，除非天使自願現身。所以賽斯冒險在瑪姬面前現身了。瑪姬隻見了賽斯一面，就再也忘不了了。她被賽斯英俊的外表和憂郁迷人的氣質吸引。

賽斯和瑪姬漸漸熟起來了。但對于賽斯的來曆瑪姬卻很困惑，每次問起賽斯總是答得含糊不清。賽斯說他不是一個凡人，瑪姬感到很混亂很困惑。但漸漸地她開始相信，因為賽斯的确與衆不同。拍照時照片中看不到賽斯，被刀子劃了卻沒有傷口……他們深深相愛，無奈那隻是一個關于天使與凡人的童話，他們如何相守？

同時，在醫院裡時，賽斯發現了一個驚人的秘密——瑪姬的一個病人居然曾經是天使。那一天，賽斯去病房，被那個病人發現了。原來，那個病人曾經是天使，後來下凡成了凡人。方法就是懷着強烈的意願從高處跳下。

塞斯逐漸明白兩個世界的人很難愛下去，自己終究會失去瑪吉，為了能真真切切感受到瑪姬，為了與瑪姬厮守一生，沒有再猶豫，從萬丈高樓一躍而下……

他瘋了一樣地去找瑪姬，瑪姬正在别墅度假。當塞斯樣子狼狽地出現在瑪吉面前，兩個人緊緊相擁，他們終于能真切地感受到對方的存在，這是他們生命最美妙的一刻，那麼真實而美好。他們甜蜜地靠在一起，仿佛看到了永恒。

然而，美好總是短暫的。第二天，瑪吉遭遇緻命車禍，當塞斯将她的手緊緊握住時，瑪吉說她看到天使了。瑪吉說，如果天使問自己最喜歡什麼，她會說，塞斯。

塞斯再次來到菜市場，他拿了很多梨。因為瑪吉曾經形容梨的味道“像砂糖一樣溶化在嘴裡”，當時塞斯沒法感覺，而現在他可以感覺了，瑪吉卻不在了……

精彩對白

I don't understand the God who'd let us meet if we could never be together.

上帝既已安排我們相識，怎能不讓我們相守！

When they ask me what I liked the best,I'll tell them "It was you".

當他們問我最愛的是什麼，我會告訴他們。。。就是你！

I would rather have had one breath of her hair,

我甯可呼吸到她飄散在空氣中的發香，

I have a feeling there's something bigger out there.

Bigger than we and bigger than you.

我老覺得，有種巨大的力量，讓你我都顯得好渺小！

I wait all day just hoping for one more minute with you.

我整日都盼着能與你有多一分鐘的相聚！

I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, and one touch of her hands than an eternity without it.

我聞到過她的秀發在空氣中的飄香，我親吻過她柔軟的雙唇，我曾觸碰到她溫暖的手——我甯願要這些短暫的時刻，也不願意要沒有這些的孤獨的永生。

We were made to fit together.

我們注定彼此相屬。

負責該片音樂的是法籍配樂大師Gabriel Yared，他曾為《英國病人》、《情人》等多部愛情文藝片做過配樂。但在這張大碟中他卻隻親自操刀了最後的四首，而把重點放在了将諸多知名流行與搖滾樂隊或個人的創作協調起來。從20世紀六七十年代的Jimi Hendrix、Eric Clapton、Peter Gabriel，八十年代的U2，到近年來的Alanis Morissette、Paula Cole、Sarah Mclachlan等，無一不增加了本碟的賣點。U2恍惚迷離的一曲《If God Will Send His Angel》奏響了影片的序曲，仿佛預示着這故事的虛幻，Bono冷調的聲音卻似乎多了幾分悲憫。而兩位搖滾元老級人物JimiHendrix和Eric Clapton的舊作《Red House》和《Further On Up The Rord》出現在影片中，則給細膩纏綿的音樂平添了幾分舊日激情。Peter Gabriel輕柔妙曼的瑣碎音符鋪陳出恢弘的音樂畫卷，《I Grieve》一曲中前後的反差正與影片中男女主人公的情緒相呼應。在《Uninvited》中，Alanis Morissette發出的呼喊與澎湃的鼓聲及低調的鋼琴聲相互交纏，Jude柔情的嗓音演繹的

天使之城

一曲《I Know》自有一番動人的力量。《Feeling Love》那跳落之間的鼓聲像是在撞擊着聽者的胸膛，而Paula Cole含糊不清的嗓音似乎在召喚着天使的來臨。與此不同的是Goo Goo Dolls的《Iris》，滄桑沙啞的聲線，動情的演唱，渲染着影片悲憫深情的愛之主題，而這種悲憫之中又蘊涵着激情，給人勇氣去直面真實而又平凡的人生。點題之作《Angel》在我看來，是全碟中最為清澈溫暖的一曲。Sarah Mclachlan舒緩的嗓音，行雲流水般的鋼琴聲，宛如一股清泉從聽者心中流淌而過，撫慰着你所有源于過去的傷痛與苦楚。當你閉上疲憊的雙眼，在靜夜裡聆聽這首歌，你能看到天使在夜空中緩緩飄過。當它消逝之時，淡淡傷感中綻放的美麗與這首歌一起已在你心中烙下了難以磨滅的印記。

最後，Gariel Yared以飄渺的女和聲，細膩滑落的吉他和弦，凄婉的小提琴，悲憫大氣的弦樂為影片優美的主題意境畫上了圓滿的句号。

《天使之城》主題曲《天使》

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

For a break that will make it OK

There always one reason to feel not good enough

And it’s hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction or a beautiful release

Memories seep from my veins

Let me be empty or weightless and maybe

l'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel fly away from here

From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn

There’re vultures and thieves at your back

The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies

That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference, escape one last time

It's easier to believe

In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness

That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel fly away from here

From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

Corrinne May

City of Angels

Dogs walk free with diamond collars

Free men hang from ropes and dollars

Train tracks stitch the jagged scars

Stretched faces on aging stars

Empty beds in furniture stores

Angels sleep on skid row floors

Broken wings for a dollar a pound

"Can you spare some change?"

I'm strolling down, rolling down

Sunset Boulevard

I see the paparazzi try to catch a falling star

Just another day you're on your way

in the city of angels

All the make-up in this town covers the frowns

Yeah the world seems upside down

Corrinne May

City of Angels

Cars kissing on the 405

colours blend and intertwine

You and me, we're just a bunch of dreamers

lucky to collide

Sure

We're living on nickels and dimes

And the earth could shake at anytime

But we're holding on to something true

And with your hand in mine

We'll be strolling down, strolling down sunset boulevard

They say that opposites attract, well

this is the city for us.

Just another day you're on your way

in the city of angels

Leave the make-up in this town for all the clowns

'Cause the world seems upside down

in the city of angels

Let it rain, rain down

Wash the make-up from this town

Let it rain, rain down

Thirsty people all around.

Just another day you're on your way

in the city of angels

Leave the make-up in this town for all the clowns

All the world seems upside down

Yeah the world seems upside down

in the city of angels

《天使之城》插曲《IRIS》

Iris

Goo Goo Dolls

and i'd give up forever to touch you

cause i know that you feel me somehow

you're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be

and i don't want to go home right now

and all i can taste is this moment

and all i can breathe is your life

and sooner or later it's over

i just don't want to miss you tonight

and i don't want the world to see me

cause i don't think that they'd understand

when everything's made to be broken

i just want you to know who i am

and you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

or the moment of truth in your lies

when everything feels like the movies

yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

and i don't want the world to see me

cause i don't think that they'd understand

when everything's made to be broken

i just want you to know who i am

and i don't want the world to see me

cause i don't think that they'd understand

when everything's made to be broken

i just want you to know who i am

and i don't want the world to see me

cause i don't think that they'd understand

when everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

影片制作

創作背景：本片的前身是1987年的優秀德國影片《欲望之翼》，但它真正的目标是《人鬼情未了》。凱奇飾演的天使少了點應有的飄逸氣質但是卻多出了一絲深沉和憂郁，梅格·瑞安幾乎就是重複她在《西雅圖夜未眠》中的角色。影片反映的天使在中國叫作“催命鬼”，專門在醫院裡迎接斷氣的人去陰間。片中有一處天使聚會海邊的場面，似乎是向伯格曼的《第七封印》緻敬。
