    These scenes all gave me a feeling of loneliness and beeing lost in the world. But it's not a cold or clinical feeling like i get from the work of Nicolas Winding Refn. These scenes from Michael Mann feel very human, very warm and loving. Like a person with a lot of pain is watching those people in the movie from a far or an angel who is watching the life of the humans and who feels sad for them because he cannot do anything for them. He can just watch their struggle of being a human being. That is what i felt watching this video.

    Magnificent video with the film director, Rhapsody in blue: Very few directors have portrayed the nocturnal atmosphere of modern cities like Mann, which means that many of his most iconic images tend to have bluish tones and a certain metallic texture that, of course, rhymes with the psychological processes of his characters.
