This first scene is short. It displays the names and roles of the actors. However, this is accomplished with visuals that present an idea of what is to follow. It opens with a yellow taxi cab driving through a dense mist, steam erupting from a city street that momentarily blocks vision. Displayed next is a clearly focused image of the eyes of a driver, appearing through the vehicle’s rear view mirror. The driver’s eyes show a reflection of the city lights. The camera shows the city through the eyes of the taxi driver, i.e., blurry, distorted city images of the city lights that are reflected in those eyes. The images of the people in the city are dark. Everything is moving at the wrong speed, slower than the usual New York City cabbie. The colors are off. The music is foreboding. What is seen through the eyes of the taxi driver is off kilter.
