* AnimalMotifs: Birds. York mentions that he's heard about a bird with no legs that spends its life in continuous flight, only landing when it dies. [[spoiler:Close to his own death he concludes that the bird never actually flies anywhere, for it is dead from the very beginning.]] Near the end of the story it becomes explicit that York compares his own life to the life of that bird [[spoiler:and Tide mocks him for this, refuting the comparison.]]

The film starts with his romance with demure concession stand girl Lizhen, and after their breakup to his seamlessly picking up [[BettyAndVeronica feisty]] hooker Mimi. The story also deals with York's dysfunctional relationship with his adoptive mother Rebecca, an aging prostitute whose [[WickedStepmother crass emotional extortion]] over his MissingMom has left him with much of the [[FreudianExcuse emotional baggage]] that makes him mistreat women.

!!This film contains examples of:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: York's cocky attitude and good looks.
* BettyAndVeronica: Lizhen as Betty with Mimi as Veronica. Notably, Lizhen ''doesn't'' want York back (even though she still has feelings for him), tells Mimi as much and warns her about what he can do.
* DidYouThinkICantFeel: Lizhen to York... who does think she can feel, but [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care]].
* DoggedNiceGuy Leb to Mimi, who he has no chance with because she's still in love with York (and knows this), so he sells his car so she can chase down York and realize what a cad he is, hoping to the outside chance he'll be the rebound guy.
* DysfunctionJunction: Many of the characters have -- or get -- an emotional hangup over the course of the movie.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: York with Rebecca and his biological mother, despite the former's manipulation and the latter's absence. That being said, York is willing to cut all contact with Rebecca to learn his mom's location.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though York is a cad, he never physically abuses his lovers, won't steal from them, and even outright tells them he's going to use them... [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim and they put up with it!]]
* TheGunslinger: Tide, who spends most of the movie as a fairly [[TheStoic stoic]] beat cop who never brandishes a weapon, only to efficiently mow down a gang later in the movie... [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone much to his own horror.]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Mimi. While she's very bossy and would normally be TheVamp, when paired with York she's actually ''his sugar momma''.
* InnerMonologue: Every character gets one monologue explaining their thoughts and feelings up to that point, evenly spaced throughout the movie.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: By the end of the film [[spoiler:Lizhen has healed enough that she calls the phone box that Tide says he walks by on patrol. Since he's now a sailor, it's fairly wishful to think they'll actually hook up, though of all the leads the two of them are the ones to have [[DynamicCharacter changed the most.]]]]
* TheSociopath: York has shades of this. While there are ''some'' lines he won't cross in Love, he's also [[spoiler: all too willing to kill a man rather than pay the price of a forged passport.]]
* SoiledDove: Averted with Rebecca, who toys with York by dangling the name and location of his biological mother over his head to keep him near.
* StaticCharacter: [[spoiler:York,]] who ends much as they were at the beginning.
