Towards the end of the movie when Aaron is alone and starving in his hotel room, the camera becomes shakey and blurry to symbolise Aaron's point of view.

Aaron's friend Lester is arrested toward the end of the film, and the police arresting him call him a term which is derogatory against Jewish people.

Mr Mungo, Aaron's neighbour, kills himself in his hotel room. The suicide itself isn't shown, but his body along with a lot of blood is visible when Aaron investigates a pool of blood coming from Mr Mungo's room.
