In an interview with The Cutaway, editor Jeff Groth talks about cutting during those flashes of darkness on the train by saying, "Not every cut happens in a flash. The reason those flashes were there was to disorient the viewer and make this whole sequence become something of a fever dream for Arthur." Groth then says, "A lot of times with a cut, you'll anticipate where you want to see next, and we'll take you there. In a situation like this, when you're cutting in the black, you anticipate that when you come back out of black, you're going to see the same thing. But in our version, when we're cutting [in the black], you see something different. So we're jumping perspectives before you as a viewer are necessarily ready for it. It was meant to evoke anxiety and build tension." Groth then talks about how this scene gives the audience the feeling that they are losing control, saying, "When [Arthur] starts that laugh, that's something he can't control. That's another thing we're trying to evoke is that feeling of we're not in control anymore." This film is constantly going back and forth between Arthur's fantasy and Arthur's reality without the audience knowing it. The feeling that we aren't in control is foreshadowing the reveal that Arthur is the unreliable narrator of his own story and the audience never knew what was really happening.
