The first thing people will note about "The Machinist" is the appearance of Bale, who dropped an alleged 63 pounds off of his pumped-up "American Psycho" torso to emerge in such a state of [rib]-bulging cadaverousness that he looks like he just walked out of a concentration camp. There are clearly no CGI shenanigans involved, and the sight of him is continually unnerving.

Literally devoted to depicting a waking nightmare, collaboration between Anderson and first-time scripter Scott A. Kosar most readily calls to mind Polanski in his "The Tenant" mode, with [echoes] of Hitchcock, Lynch, Kafka and Dostoyevsky wafting [through] as well (Bale's character is conspicuously making his way through the latter's "The Idiot").

waft
–verb (used with object) 
1. to carry lightly 
and 
smoothly through the air or over water: The gentle [breeze] wafted the sound of music to our ears.  

2. to send or convey lightly, as if in flight: The actress wafted [kisses] to her admirers in the audience.

Doppelgänger

The [doppelganger] turns out to be a pseudo-schizophrenic manifestation of the protagonist's less desirable characteristics.
mare
Money makes the [mare] go.
