The Machinist

The American film , the machinist , stars Trevor Reznik , a factory worker who , at the beginning of our first visit , looked extremely malnourished pale , skinny , and extremely anxious . While evaluating Trevor Reznik 's psychological condition , one thing was made very apparent to me the first time we met , and that was his eating dis . Despite Trevor 's condition , his attitude when in public was acceptable until after he began seeing a figment of his imagination , a friend which he called Ivan . Trevor lives in a lower class apartment complex , and seeks the companionship

of a female who lives next door , and just so happens to be a prostitute . Trevor always goes to the local airport after work , for a cup of coffee and a piece of pie , and a chat with his server Gabriela Apparently , Trevor had claimed that he had not slept in over a year which showed by his physical appearance . Trevor was obviously tormented with something from the beginning of our first meeting , and it was expressed through the activities of his daily life .

Trevor tended to keep many of his thoughts bottled up inside , until they became too much for him to bear and things began to manifest in his physical reality . Trevor began to feel that every one was out to get him , or that some big joke was being played on him . Something continually seemed to be bothering Trevor , something that was causing him to lose sleep , not eat , and suffer from severe attacks of anxiety and depression . As far as any relationships with his family , Trevor never met his father , and was raised by a single mother Trevor 's relationship with his peers was not too good , Trevor tended to be a sort of isolationist , continually locking himself away in his apartment scrubbing his floors with bleach . Trevor 's relationship with the management of his place of employment was not well either . Trevor 's manager was beginning to worry that something was wrong with Trevor seeing him lose weight , day by day . Trevor 's employer asked for a...
