----
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "The Carny" and "From Her to Eternity" by Music/NickCave, both played live by the man himself at the film's climax.
* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The scene where Homer searches in vain for the then-demolished Potsdamer Platz and finds only rubble, weeds, and the UsefulNotes/BerlinWall becomes bittersweet now that the Wall has not only fallen but the square itself has been redeveloped and is now a thriving commercial hub.
* OneSceneWonder: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as themselves in the movie's climax.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Damiel is played by a pre-''Film/{{Downfall}}'' Bruno Ganz.
* SciFiGhetto: Even though it's basically a fantasy film, you'll pretty much never hear a critic describe it as that.
* TearJerker:
** The suicide, and Cassiel's anguished reaction to it.
** The man dying on the street going through his happiest memories in the few minutes he has left.
* TheWoobie: A lot of the regular people the angels survey, such as the teenage prostitute and the suicidal man.
