The film explores universal, apolitical themes of love, mortality, and the human experience, focusing on an individual's existential choice to embrace human life, which does not align with a specific political ideology.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, though it includes visible diversity in a key supporting role without explicitly recasting a traditionally white character. The narrative focuses on a romantic fantasy and does not critique or explicitly center DEI themes or traditional identities.
The character Cassiel, an angel portrayed by a white actor (Otto Sander) in the original film "Wings of Desire," is portrayed by a Black actor (Andre Braugher) in "City of Angels." This constitutes a race swap for a named, plot-relevant character.
The film "City of Angels" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or storylines. Its entire focus is on a heterosexual romantic fantasy, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
