Symbol Analysis

The director uses the archangel Amietiel as a symbol for change and hope. Amitiel's name gets changed to Jade when the Fallen defeat her and force her into prostitution. Gabriel manages to save her before the Fallen Balan rapes her. Through the whole movie Jade leads Gabriel around the city as his guide, explaining that heaven cannot hear them down in this city, and that the other angels have suffered as well and now are either all dead, or serve the Fallen as well. Gabriel is shocked that Jade could change so fast, but she explains that he has no room to judge. "Don't be so harsh to judge others Gabriel, you haven't been here long enough to earn that right..."  Jade, with the help of Gabriel, find her way back to the light. She becomes the one who will lead the city back to its former glory
