Extract:
Cinematically, the film foreshadows the arrival of that narrator's alter ego, Tyler, by splicing in brief images of Tyler at specific points early in the narrative. In one such clip this insertion occurs when the narrator visits his doctor about his insomnia. The narrator beseeches the doctor to prescribe some medication for him. "But I'm in pain," he says to which the doctor replies, "If you want to see pain go to the testicular cancer support group…that's pain." Tyler Durden appears on the screen just as the doctor utters the words "that's pain." This juxtaposition equates Tyler with pain and prefigures the imminent development of the fight club. The subtlty of the almost subliminal splice illustrates the narrator's description of the pornographic splices Tyler inserts into films, "Nobody knows they saw it, but they did."
