* CentralTheme: Evil devours itself.
* TheGrimReaper: Death appears several times as a woman in all black wielding a knife and apparently approving of all the destruction that the Nazis wrought, although Hitler is equally intrigued by and terrified of her.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Aside from Hitler and his inner circle, UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud is a supporting character. Hitler at first dismisses Freud's psychoanalysis as "Jewish lies", but Freud's commentary eventually starts to [[SanitySlippage crack at Hitler's remaining sanity]].
* MindScrew: The movie is largely metaphorical, seeming to take place either in some sort of Purgatory-like location, or inside Hitler's mind, with every other character being some sort of figment of his imagination.
* NaziProtagonist: The whole film delves into the psychology of Adolf Hitler.
* RuleOfSymbolism: ''Heavily'' runs on this. Many things happen randomly or just to be symbolic. Since the whole thing is implied to take place inside Hitler's mind, this makes sense.
