The film begins just like Hubert Selby Jr.'s novel. As Darren Aronofsky points out, the first line of the book is, "Harry locked his mom in the closet." As soon as Aronofsky read this, he knew it would be a powerful way of opening a film. Aronofsky appreciated how subjective Selby's novel was something the director strove for with Pi greco - Il teorema del delirio (1998). Aronofsky wanted to capture the subjective tone for the film, to put you in the viewpoint of the main character, which is why the opening sequence is a split-screen. Both Harry and Sara Goldfarb are the focal points.
