* Although the movie plays it in a comedic light, there's something unsettling about life in San Angeles. Most people seem to be relatively content with their lives, but one still has to realize that there are strict rules and regulations regarding how one is to conduct themselves, at least according to Cocteau's perspective. As the plot continues, it becomes even more apparent that Cocteau is a power-hungry tyrant who seeks to solidify his power by eliminating Edgar Friendly and his Scraps (who are literally people who rejected Cocteau's idea of "utopia" that have been reduced to living in the depths of the city and stealing food just to survive), and completing his vision of a perfect, "pure" utopia. The implications of this is pretty terrifying, given how stripped of humanity and almost robotic and eerily "pleasant" people are already, and clearly enough to [[EvenEvilHasStandards piss even Phoenix off]], making it a bit of a welcome relief when Phoenix orders one of his men to kill Cocteau to prevent the tyrant's vision from becoming reality.
