The Narrator's alienated voiceover
→ Taxi Driver (1976)
The Narrator's opening detachment mirrors Travis Bickle's diary entries — both men observe their city as anthropologists of their own isolation. Fincher has called Scorsese's film his primary template for urban alienation.

Project Mayhem's monolith — the soap bar as sacred object
→ 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The soap bar presented as sacred object echoes the monolith's presentation in 2001 — slow, centred, ritualistic. Both objects represent the rupture between before and after.
