^rts &c (£fntertainment Cage and Ryan star in 'City of Angels' April 23, 1998 11 Brie Bittenbender Pendulum Reporter I cried when I saw “City of Angels,” but I don’t know why. Although it was a let down, I must give it credit for being well written. It is definitely one of those “Chicken Soup for the Soul” kind of films. As for the actors in the film, Nicholas Cage has portrayed ev erything from a drunk, to a convict and this time he is an angel. Meg Ryan has maintained her 30-year-61d look for the last 15 years and makes a great character out of the angel’s attraction. The story focuses on Seth, the angel played by Cage, and Maggie, a heart surgeon played by Ryan. As you might of guessed, they fall in love and everything works out great right? Come to find out Seth can’t feel emotions and when Maggie finds out about it, she leaves town. In the meantime, Seth is debat- ing on whether or not to turn in his an gelic status for Maggie. He is per plexed by this issue and even- t u a 1 1 y seeks help from an ex-angel who tells him that it is possible for an angel to become human and fall in love with another human being. Within days of Seth’s an gelic sacrifice, the entire reason for the end of his immortality becomes extinct. So in theory, Seth gives up his wings for nothing, but it is jus tified by the poetic quality of Cage’s character that, “Giving it all up for think about life and question whether or not there are angels somewhere watching over your shoulder. Cage and Ryan find heavenly love in ‘Angels’ one brush of her hair, one touch of her hand and one taste of her lips was worth never feeling it.” This average love story with a twist was definitely cute, but I would not see it again. If you are into that kind of romance, then you should see it because it does make you Come to the Elon Dancer's Concert!
