[edit] Color

The article was just edited to read "...the movie before then [near the end] is filmed in a sepia tinted monochrome, except for brief moments when Damiel is watching Marion." I remember other parts that were color. Wasn't it in color anytime it wasn't an angel's POV? (John User:Jwy talk) 05:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Potsdamer Platz

"Looking for the Potsdamer Platz in an open field".. the text should make it clearer that this "open field" IS actually the Potsdamer Platz (Potsdam Square). The site was/is a symbol of how nearly all of the densely populated big cities of Germany, typical of Europe, were mostly deformed into something much more empty and bleak by carpet bombing and in this special case by the division of the country. The old man's disbelief that this is supposed to be that once lively place is all too familiar for Germans who have made the effort to search for old photos of what is often suburban looking or even completely abandoned places to the present day. The movie does a very good job of displaying the scars of WW2, the space where the circus was staying is also definitely a former bomb site as historically, German cities were as dense as downtown London or Paris.
