* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: One part of the problem with German's adaptation. Even setting aside the nauseating level of naturalism, it's very hard to make sense of what is going on. Many scenes are fairly faithfully adapted from the book, but the overarching plot that connects them together has been almost entirely stripped out, giving the viewer next to zero context about who any of the characters are or what they’re doing.

* TooDumbToLive: Pretty much everyone in the finale. To list:
** Rumata evacuates Dr. Budach, but not his lover Kira, even though he had already antagonised the dreaded Don Reba.
** Unless the above fanon theory is correct, Don Reba sends a bunch of trigger-happy morons on a kidnapping mission and doesn't instruct them to first check if Rumata is there and GTFO if he is.
** Kira decides to stand at an open window and enjoy the view of an angry mob outside, and Rumata allows her to do that.

* NauseaFuel: TheDungAges aspect of the setting is played to sickening levels in the 2014 film. One of the very first scenes has a couple of Greys smearing feces on their faces, and it only gets worse from there.
* NightmareFuel: The purges of intellectuals carried out by the Grey Stormtroopers, especially when they were ''this'' close to having a Renaissance.

* CompleteMonster: Don Reba. Makes Reba is a thoroughly despicable SmugSnake of a [[EvilChancellor minister]], who personifies [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters everything wrong about humanity]]. He framed the former Prime Minister for treachery and tortured him to death, along with the whole cabinet; he declares everybody literate (and not noble) enemy of the state; he starts wars for petty revenge; he stages a Coup d'Etat, and when it so hard succeeds, he kills his co-conspirators; finally, he tries to be a god.[[spoiler: kidnap TheHero's {{Love Interest|s}}, which backfires horribly, leading to the DownerEnding]].
