While Wings of Desire does not portray Berliners as living in a utopia, academic Roger Cook wrote that the fact that people have pleasure "gives, as the English title suggests, wings to desire". God is not mentioned in the film, and is only referred to in the sequel Faraway, So Close! when the angels state a purpose to connect humans with "Him".

Over time, the Elysians forgot their origins and past with the planet, assuming it to be nothing more than an uninhabitable world. For the remaining humans left behind, their home planet became a dumping ground for those who ascended, leaving them to make settlements amongst the trash that is regularly dumped on the surface's landmasses, with communities managing to thrive as best they can, and clean water considered the most valuable commodity for them.

Jerry Craven arrives on the scene, but— weary of conflict and mentally traumatized by his own death and resurrection— expresses his desire to live in peace with Krishna. However, Craven is joined moments later by Dajjal, a bizarre, incomplete superhuman covertly developed by the United States during the Iraq War. Dajjal was designed to be without sanity, allowing it to observe the flow of time and to perceive all possible futures. Dajjal implies that all futures arising from this moment in time would result in a utopia created by Craven and Krishna, and would all be "so boring" that Dajjal cannot bear to live through them.

It argues that humanity must find a way of harnessing new scientific and technological development for peaceful ends, and that once this has been achieved the Elohim shall return to Earth to share their technology with humanity and usher in a utopia. To this end, the Raëlians have been committed to building an embassy for the Elohim, incorporating a landing pad for the latter's spaceship. Raëlians promote a liberal ethical system with a strong emphasis on sexual experimentation, engage in daily meditation, and hope for physical immortality through human cloning. Raël first published his claims to have been contacted by the Elohim in his 1974 book Le Livre Qui Dit La Verité.

Rosenstraße received notable criticism from film critics and historians alike. In particular, the film's explicit claim to give an accurate account of the Rosenstraße protest has caused historians to point out not only a number of minor flaws in the logic of the film, but also some major points where Rosenstraße did not stick to the facts. Among others, historian Beate Meyer compared fact and fiction in a detailed treatment,Beate Meyer, Geschichte im Film: Judenverfolgung, Mischehen und der Protest in der Rosenstraße 1943. In Zeitschrift für Geschichtsforschung 52 (2004), Pp 23-36 and came to the conclusion that Rosenstraße was a projection of contemporary hopes and myths on history, resulting in a utopia.

Other influential works include The Prisoner, A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, V for Vendetta and Doctor Who, along with the humor of Monty Python and Blowup for the game's aesthetics. Some of the Compulsion team, including Provost, had been with Arkane Studios during a time where they were secretly developing an episode for the Half-Life series, also set in a dystopian world, which carried into We Happy Few. Provost felt the belief of citizens that they were in a utopia and the darker reality "under the hood" formed the "basis" of dystopian fiction. The idea of the Wellies wearing masks was seen as flipping around the use of Guy Fawkes masks in V for Vendetta, that instead of being a sign of resistance, they would be "a symbol of the psychological oppression", forcing their wearer to be smiling all the time, according to Provost.
