Angel-A

Thoughts are evolved as you read more into the story or the theme of this movie but I'll try to be general here and just say, that generally, when we are being destructive, we are only being destructive to ourselves, and its because we lack self love. Instead, we find ourselves running away, trying to escape from our very self. We see everything around us BUT ourselves. We are blind, and we can't find our essence because we are not connected within (again, busy escaping ourselves).

We wait for someone to describe us, to remind us who we are, to give us worth, a layer of comfort, you name it. So, as this guy was looking into himself, he appreciated himself because the Angel by his shoulder was breaking his shell, giving him courage to look into his own eyes, and find his truth. Our truth, as human beings, we are all very beautiful, but we mask our truth with lies, with fake stories, sometimes with dirty masks to cover our vulnerabilities, to push people away, so that they can't hurt us. It's all too complex to put in words, our essences are unlimited.
