FIGHT CLUB blew my mind!! | First time watching

[@tylerdurden5406]

Watching this movie more than once is a must so you can enjoy all the little hints that Tyler isn’t “real”. Like the zoom in on the pay phone saying it doesn’t accept incoming calls, the opening lines being “I know this because Tyler knows this…” all the little things that you might miss the first time around but can start piecing together once you know what to look for

[@matijavinazza9861]

It definitely deserves a rewatch. There are so many subtle hints about what is going on, that make it a whole different experience. To name a few: the phonebooth states it doesn't receive calls so it's impossible that tayler called him back; when tayler's golf balls hit a car nothing happens but when The Narrator's golf balls hit it, the alarm turns on; when he's fighting himself in the boss's office, he says it reminds him of his first fight with tyler; when the crash happens, pay attention what side of the car he comes out of...and more. These are the reason this is my favourite movie of all times and I love wathing others experience it for the first time.

[@LordVolkov]

Another is the link between the penguin 'slide' and his analysis of Tyler 'to let that with does not matter truly *slide'

[@Dark__Thoughts]

It's not even subtle a lot of the times. Rewatching this is kind of a trip with how in your face it actually is.

[@whoarocket]

The flashes earlier in the movie are not...that. They are glimpses of Tyler before you meet him, showing that he was already there with the Narrator. I can't remember if you've watched it yet, but the movie Primal Fear was Edward Norton's first movie, and was an incredible acting performance. I really recommend that.

Just a fun trivia: the doctor at the beginning of the movie, the one Edward Norton talks to about insomnia and then he recommends the testicular cancer support group, that actor is the same actor that delivers the box at the end of Se7en.

[@alecsa01]

Another trivia I picked up when watching special edition DVD commentary (yes, I am that old :) ) - when Marla goes to "sell" the clothes she stole at the pawn shop and stomps on the Narrator's foot, the actress wasn't actually supposed to stomp on his foot but just close enough on the floor and let Norton do the acting part. But Norton's reaction was so genuine, that Helena Bonham Carter freaked out for a second, thinking that she did indeed hurt him pretty bad. Testament to Ed Nortons acting chops.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

The line, "for some reason I thought of my first fight with Tyler" as he beats himself up with his boss in the room. It hits harder later on once you know his first fight with Tyler was with himself... 10:46 that punch was real and Pitt didn't know it was coming. The director, David Fincher asked Edward Norton to do it for real to see how Pitt would react. Marla asking Pitt, "who are you talking to when shutting the door in Tyler's face. Pitt's character controlling the conversation while at the bottom of the basement say, "this conversation is over" by just whispering it. PItt's character died because Tyler basically tricked him because he thought Tyler off'd himself even though he just shot out the side of his cheek.

The original line was "I want to have your abortion" but was deemed too controversial.

[@christianwise637]

Your reaction to Marla's line at around 14:17 was just priceless. Fun fact, in the original draft of the script, she was going to say "I want to have your abortion", to which the executives objected. David Fincher agreed to change the line, on the condition that the executives wouldn't veto the replacement line. They agreed, and the result was the even more crass line that we have in the finished film. Being English, Helena Bonham Carter didn't know what that line meant (she thought "grade school" was the same thing as high school), and was thus mortified when she found out later on

[@LordVolkov]

They say they want to paint a self portrait and build a house before they die. But they're not doing that, are they? They've lost everything-they're free to do it, but they're not. Huh. Instead, they're sitting in the back of a stolen car intoning someone else's words in unison, about to be put in mortal danger by someone using them for his own ends. All of which is to say that, objectively true though it may be, by taking the line as important in its own right, divorced from its ultimate significance within this narrative, it becomes a deepity.

[@ieyke]

Brad Pitt is Tyler Durden Edward Norton, the narrator, is Jack Moore It's OFFICIALLY(ish) revealed by unused props from the movie of Jack's driver's license and some of his mail, which show his name as "Jack Moore". There's also sort of an implication and common assumption that all of the "Jack" stuff was written by the narrator, and hence HE is Jack, and THAT'S why he later utters "I am Jack's smirking revenge." That maybe the "Jack" writings were things he wrote in his insomniac sleep(lessness) before he ever even created Tyler.

[@valashar5313]

He had been in the squatter's house for a year, after all. Plenty of time to get his author on. And the 'Jack's Body Parts' series do sound like the kind of hyper fixation on yourself that I've heard can happen in early stage Disassociative Identity Disorder.

All the clues were there throughout the entire movie that he had a split personality. When he “fought” his boss he said it reminded him of his first fight with Tyler…which we found out that he was just punching himself then as well.

One of my top 5 movies (and books) - it is endlessly rewatchable. Masterfully made movie of a genius book. 20+ years later it's still powerful and relevant (despite that antiquated phone technology). Such a late 90's mood, too. Everybody involved in the making of this movie completely slayed.

Also physically splicing film reels in a movie theater.

It's so funny, watching this the first time, we all tend to overlook or just explain away the things that our own logic is telling us feels off and then watching it subsequent times, knowing the twist, it seems so obvious, you wonder how you could have ever missed it.

[@KempPlays]

One of the best things about watching Fight Club is being able to watch it again and see how many clues were scattered in there and how many slightly odd conversations make more sense.

[@maxducoudray]

Addie picked up more hints than most people do on their first viewing, but it's testament to the movie that even when you see so many pieces of the puzzle it's still difficult to make the final leap.

[@HurricaneCook]

One of the all-time greats, in my opinion. Fincher really hitting his groove, Norton and Pitt are amazing together, Chuck Palaniuk's work adapted well for the screen... so good!

[@Avalon1951]

Addie just so you know even if I ever don't like your movie selection I will always give you a thumbs up:)

[@SCharlesDennicon]

You kept the legendary grade school line!!! :D That alone deserves a thumb up.

[@jxstified7558]

Addie's face says it all lmao 14:20

[@MauriceCalis]

Wow, Addie, you put it all together quickly, on the reveal. Nice job!

[@dejavu2030]

This was the most cult classic movie, me and all my teen friends were obsessed with this movie back in the day and it still hits so hard, and the last scene when the pixies play while the buildings blow up is one of the romantic scenes of all time.

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

This gets almost never said, when this movie is discussed, as the story is so front and center, but this is a really stylish movie, but very purposefully stylish. I mean sometimes you get style, sometimes a great story, but quite rarely you get this kind of polished and all around great presentation which actually feels really justified. Everything from cinematography to wardrobe, production design, editing, to effects and music, it just all fits perfectly with the story.

1999 was a great year for movies.

[@David19749]

You are going to enjoy rewatching this classic. Great movie. Mind blown 😎

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

I have loved this movie and its twists for very long time. I recently saw another video on youtube talking about another twist and I think they are correct! Who else besides Tyler doesn't really exist in this movie? :)

[@Bleckman666]

So happy you enjoyed this movie! It really is a dividing picture. Some love it, some HATE it. For another great work by David Fincher, I highly recommend "Panic Room". It's sort of a home invasion thriller, with a "Hitchcock-ian" vibe to it, with great acting from Jodie Foster, Forest Witaker, Jared Leto and a young Kristen Stewart, as well as a lot of fantastic (yet invisible) CGI.

[@rexmundi2986]

When I first watched this movie, I thought Marla was an insane woman you should stay a million miles away from, but after seeing the twist, I felt so much sympathy for the poor woman dealing with such a crazy dude!

[@brianwilson2789]

One of my favorites. Very unique and a great twist.

[@hadnick1]

When I buy Gold or Silver bullion coins they ask my name to put in some kind of ledger for tax purposes but they never ask me for ID so I always say my name is Robert Paulson…

[@karanodedara3128]

There's one line that stuck with me is when Tyler says “Just let go.” simple but really deep.

[@tribaahl]

OMG you finally went to this movie, my very best one of all time ! so much rewatch to call all the clues, it's amazing ;)

[@tribaahl]

just a little example is after the car crash, Brad Pitt pulled him out from the driver's sit with the car outside down :p but there's so much more to discover :D

[@Juan0003]

Something that's really cool about this movie is that everytime you watch it again, you notice some foreshadowing detail that you just can't see in the first visionnings.

[@martin43427]

You could argue that fight club began as a reaction to how vulnerable the narrator became during those support groups. How he has to cry in order to feel healthy and sleep naturally. The film very much is critical toward unfiltered masculinity and how directionless men in the 90s felt without a greater purpose than their own consumer behavior in filling the void in their lives. Very interesting how meeting Marla Singer pivoted the narrator to using violence as a means of expression but realizing the extremism version and going back to holding hands in a loving manner with Marla as they witness buildings exploding. Another great David Fincher film.

[@LOSFOUFOUP]

I mean you're only talking about one side of the coin here. This is also very much a criticisism about how the consumerism as a whole can drive people insane by suffocating their feelings and trying to mold them into obedient consumers only good for fueling said consumerism at the expanse of themselves and their own well-beings. I mean you're right about unfiltered masculinity, the need for greater purpose and becoming consumers to fill the void and all, BUT you just make it seems like it's only a criticisism of the effect (how the guys react and become insane) and not ALSO a criticisism of the cause (the consumerism that pushes them to react like this), which is why I felt the need to clarify. There's two sides of this coin. While, in the movie, the specific side chosen to tell the tale (american men in the 90s losing it because of consumerism) is more or less resolved (because the film end), the cause itself that's depicted very realistically in said movie (the toxic consumerism in which we've drowned our societies) it still very relevant nowadays in a lot of countries. It's like in the Joker: the products of a cold and unfair system mixed with raw animalistic feelings from people sufferings is usually insanity or something close to it. Other than that, yeah I agree this is a great film.

[@tribaahl]

I'm not buying this, that's just an interpretation, I heard about this movie been critized about misogynist but after rewatch it more than 30 times, I think it's just a fantasy, all men have a sensitive side and it's a stength not a weakness ^^

[@LOSFOUFOUP]

​@@tribaahl I don't know which interpretation you're not buying, but no one said that men don't have a sensitive side here. Although yes people who says this movie is misogynist are probably completely missing the points of the movie. Statistically speaking, men are just more likely to be directly violent than women, therefore they're more likely to express how they feel through physical violence like in the movie. This is just because you can't get rid of 100 000+ years of civilization based on unequal gender roles in less than 50 or so years, despite some people's beliefs. This has very little to do with consumerism though. We're all victims of that shit. Also being sensitive can be as much a strenght as it can be a weakness.

[@tribaahl]

@@LOSFOUFOUP so we agree ^^ perhaps I misunderstood your arguing due to the fact that english is not my first language

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@LOSFOUFOUP It's definitely both. Chuck Palahniuk was very much on the anti-consumerism message and was adamant that the culture was suffocating people to the point of rage, but, unfortunately, many people often miss OP's point and interpret "Fight Club" to mean that we should follow Tyler Durden's example and become the Joker. According to Chuck himself, though, that's not what the story is saying. When asked by NineNine "Was the book meant to be didactic? Are we supposed to consider chucking it all after watching the movie/reading the book, or is it just meant to be entertainment?" Chuck answered, "It is entertainment first, but it does carry an extreme message. It isn't an imperative, but it is a message." When asked by Websteria how he felt about the ending of the movie, Chuck said, "I approved of it because I wanted to see the romance emphasized more. I realized that would help sell the movie to more people. And the whole story is about a man reaching the point where he can commit to a woman, so the ending is appropriate." This obviously goes to OP's point. When asked "Do you worry about fanatics trying to follow in the Brad Pitt character's footsteps and causing social disruption?" Chuck answers, "Hmm. Yes, I do worry but, it is demonstrated by Tyler's death that Tyler's way ultimately doesn't work."

[@fuzzy__dunlop]

Addie watching Fight Club? Yes, please! Edit: 12:32 - Addie Karate Cops! Yay!

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

It’s one of those movies that when you watch again you’re like how did I not see the twist the whole time
