The film begins with a montage of sorts with Brandon (Michael Fassbender) living his white-blue desaturated lifestyle. He often employs hookers and clearly is not committed to anybody(or thing besides sex). The only audio heard, besides the sweeping orchestra, is of his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) calling and trying to reach out to him. This scene is juxtaposed with Brandon sitting on the subway eyeing one of the females on board (who is clearly eyeing him back—they are practically eye fucking). She gets up and stands near him while waiting to get off, clearly showing off a wedding ring. Brandon gets up and stands behind her, the subway door opens, the woman leisurely flees through the crowd, and Brandon loses her after going up the stairs. Sorry Brandon, maybe next time.
