My only complaint is that it is difficult to see the elaborate computer setup in Max's room, where we spend most of the film, clearly. In fact, the whole film in general may be too grainy for most people's tastes. There was a lot of detail there that I knew we wouldn't be picking up because of the type of film we were using. We wanted it to be in darkness and in shadows a lot because no matter how good you do something, when you're working on a limited budget, it's never quite good enough. So, less is more.
People fill in the holes.
Aronofsky came up with an interesting theory about that. While working on this movie on paranoia, I started to realize that the filmmaking process is a paranoid experience. Because they always tell you in filmmaking that every single scene should relate to your main character, relate to your theme. And that's exactly what paranoid schizophrenics think their world is. That the entire world relates to them.
