The film is very much about how processes govern our actions, and how we react to the strictures of these processes. From the very outset, Sargent highlights the notion of process. He shows us, in detail, the process of hijacking the train, and intercuts this with the daily routine of the MTA operators.<BR/><BR/>I'm also very intrigued by the visual motif of microphones/radios, and the linked theme of communication.R.A.
