I saw this the 1st time in the theatre with my brother the film reel broke during the last 20 min everybody thought it was part of the movie. They brought in a spare but took them 20 min to get it setup.

Amazing reaction! The first reactor to figure out what was going on, took the hints well and basically truly enjoyed the great movie!

[@lampad4549]

There have been others lets be real

[@sweetnumb]

Like she didn't already know. Her reaction to "figuring it out" was so fake, how did you not notice that? Then again, I do remember when I was 12 and believed way more things on the internet were real than they actually were. Actually, keep staying with that mindset. I've seen so many "real" things that turned out to be fake afterwards that it's just so easy to spot now. Cherish that naivety, it'll make you happier in the end.

[@wolfhawk1999]

An entire generation (myself included) grew up watching this. I saw it at a "strange time in my life". I had never seen anything like it. It make me question what it was to be a man, a consumer, a human being. It opened up my eyes in a way nothing else has. Still my favorite movie. Also, David Fincher's best work (the visual storytelling, as you mentioned). I think people underestimate how much this movie changed the way an entire generation of men think. It changed the visual medium of film to at least a degree, and it changed people's lives. Glad you got to see it. Watch it again, you'll pick up on a lot. I've seen it a dozen times and picked up something new just about every time I watched it.

[@irishmedic]

IT is a great movie but it is my 2nd best! Also it is true, dont be a consumer just buying shit to feed the corporate ASSHO%ES!!! The number one movie is "BRINGING OUT THE DEAD" Nick Cage, BRILLANT MOVIE!!!!

[@Raven5150]

[@sample.text.]

Not many people pick up on it that quickly. You saw the gears turning in her head a few scenes before she mentioned it as well.

[@lampad4549]

I think alot of people picked it up

[@tannhauser5399]

There are some subtle and small clues in the film regarding that, but if you are watching carefully you can pick some of them up.

[@ravenward626]

If you enjoyed the non-linear story telling in this movie you may enjoy an extra dose with a Christopher Nolan film released the following year. "Memento" follows the story of someone who can no longer make new memories, and the story is told in bite sized scenes riffle shuffled together like a deck of cards. As if someone folded the timeline in half you watch forward from the beginning and backwards from the end until you final reach the middle with an inflection point as the movie finishes its run time.

[@TC-by3il]

Memento is an excellent movie, great recommendation!

[@VisceralHamster]

Same!

[@maciek8159]

Lol this movie is horrible. I know us Americans lose our shit over a "twist ending" but that doesn't make it a great movie. The ideology is juvenile at best. Same with memento. It just uses that non linear timeline gimmick and everybody thinks it's "original" or "complex". Even though Akira Kurosawa did it back in the 50's with Rashomon.

[@williamrosmer8381]

I made a drunken guess and got it right after i know this because tyler knows this. That said i may have heard the spoiler before and just not consciously remembered it

[@Trashcan-Man]

@@maciek8159 Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I thought it was a great movie, especially compared to the marvel superhero turds that gets crapped out every couple of months. The ideology in the movie was changed slightly from the book, I think because it was too extreme. In the book it was all about toppling capitalism. While I don't agree with that (unrealistic expectations) I still enjoyed the story.

[@matthewmolina264]

“Homie just wants to feel something” what a perfect quote

[@Dr3amtime]

I'd been living on a commune for a few years when this came out. First film I'd seen in a theater for a long time, and it completely twisted my head around. For the first 10 or 15 minutes after it ended, I couldn't look anyone in the eyes, because I felt like I would get lost in our mystical shared identity. Like other commenters, I congratulate you on putting the pieces together as quickly as you did!

[@benmason9755]

I like to think that when Marla says "Tyler, you're the worst thing that's ever happened to me", that's the closest she's capable of coming to saying "I love you."

[@hellomark1]

I saw this mentioned elsewhere, because at the beginning he says she's constantly waiting for something terrible to happen to her, and then disappointed when it doesn't happen.

[@SWOLEX_1]

A lot of British actors can pull off an American accent but none do it better than Helena Bonham Carter

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Great work! You figured out the twist much sooner than most people.

[@YouTubsel]

This is hands down the fastest I've ever seen someone catch on the splitpersonality disorder with Tyler Durden. Pretty impressive.

[@geneeverett33]

True! But nobody picks up that everyone there is a another personality, she almost did. Only thing missing was figuring out Marla is also a personality

[@a3gill]

After watching this several times, it's amazing how every time you start to question things, they come with something that either distracts or tries to contradict what you are thinking.

[@fthomason93]

I think this is my favorite reaction to this film yet. It was really cool getting to see your gears turning to figure it all out lol

[@sethheasley9538]

In third grade, we watched a film called "I am Jim's Heart" and it scared the sh** out of me. About heart attacks. Because, you know, third graders have a high incidence of heart disease.

[@TallBob1962]

I knew you are smart. Still amazed you are the only person I have ever seen figure it out before the movie reveal. And you followed every plot point that many miss. Great reaction!

[@elwray3506]

Ariana is a smart cookie. Great reaction! And I sooo wish, you guys would at some point react to "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford", another of Mr. Pitt´s finest moments and so much more than this. Got a bit of the short stick between "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" of the same year. Yeah, 2007 had quite something up it´s sleeves.

[@DirtCheapFU]

Ive had my relatable moment with the crying scene. After 12yrs in the Army. Signal Corps. Now a civilian. I no longer felt useful or important. That depression was just building. Then one day, just by myself, in a really dark place. Had a good cry... AS A MAN. Felt like someone released a pressure valve. Went to the porch, had a smoke. Walked around the block. Took a nap. Ordered a pizza. Made some phone calls. Just... called people. Its not something I do. A good cry, as a guy, goes a long way. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to leech other peoples' emotional moment.

[@kevinsieg2076]

The greatest drug in the world is walking out of a movie theatre and wondering what the fuck did I just see. This was that kind of film. Props to you for recognizing the split personality halfway through the movie.

[@tannhauser5399]

[@geneeverett33]

There’s much more though. Marla is also a personality of his

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

Everybody keep saying this movie is juvenile, cheesy, for immature men, but I'm just fascinated of how well shot it is and how amazingly well everyone acts. It is a fantastic movie and I like it more the more I grow older

[@jonathanlane3282]

That criticism is only true if people don’t recognize it’s a satire. It seems many people don’t realize what the point of the movie is

[@NATIK001]

Anyone with half a brain realize that the movie is using Tyler Durden as an example of how NOT to be, how NOT to think and how NOT to act. It has a shit ton of layers one can dissect if one cares to spend the effort. I was personally introduced to the movie when I was first studying Post-modernism with a film teacher, and we spent a lot of time going through it. If anyone takes the movie at face value and idolize Tyler or think the movie is juvenile and for Tyler fans, it only reflects back on their own failure to understand and have any sort of depth or reflective capability. The book the movie was based on was written by a gay man as a critique of modern masculinity, it was not meant to glorify violence, rebellion, terrorism or modern masculinity in any way.

[@Burke1O1]

Anything that supports men is ridiculed and vilified by society. Don't listen to them

[@jonathanlane3282]

@@Burke1O1 there should be more support for men, and issues men have taken more seriously by some parts of society, but obviously this film doesn’t intend for Tyler to be a role model.

If you notice, in the beginning, after Ed Norton has the gun taken out of his mouth, he says "I can't think of anything,", but in the end, in that same scene when asked, Norton says "I still can't think of anything."

[@melaniejohnson4937]

I'm super impressed with your brain!! I've watched this movie with tons of people and NOBODY picks up on it as quickly as you did. Well done! One of the most complex movies ever made and you made it seem simple 😮

“My eyes are open”. Men’s exponential crisis of living a purposeless existence. Feel the pain, live the pain, understanding why you live and for what purpose allows you to understand the pain of everyday life.

[@Zyklon-Bro64]

The flashes in the beginning are Jack (Tyler) forming the alter ego and its beginning to slowly infect his world view. I didnt notice this till now but when he calls Brad Pitt from the payphone and he asks who it is Jack answers “Tyler?” Not just asking if its him picking up but also hes answering that its Tyler calling

[@dard4642]

To your point about the dark coloring of the movie, that leather jacket that Tyler wears in the movie is actually bright red in real life, like Michael Jackson Thriller video red. That's how much they played with the coloring in post-production.

[@clarkmichaels822]

I think the split personality trope is used more frequently now so people that see it for the first time will be better at picking it up. When I saw it in 1999 it never even crossed my mind that it would be a possibility. Also, this is one of those movies where the wrong audience latched onto it like with The Matrix. Lots of incels see Tyler as their hero when it's pretty clear that he's the antagonist. He wraps his literal terrorism in anti-consumerism and feelings of disenfranchisement, which are by themselves valid. He's basically a fascist pretending to be an anarchist.

[@budscottcunningham722]

this movie was ground breaking when it came out. NO ONE had ever created a message like this. It tells the sign of the time very well.

[@idiot_city5444]

It still is lol, nothing else like this around

4:59 - watched the movie almost a hundret times over the years and never saw that the space the window seat was empty when Norton looked at Tyler's card.

[@ThunderbackOG]

I am glad you left most of the Finale in the cut. The "The gun isn't in your hand..." Scene is David Fincher at his best. "My Eyes are open" *BANG*... then the 2 Thuds when Tyler is going down, even though he disappears after the first one. BRILLIANCE

6:01 Who's this? Tyler. Basically the entire film, right there. A film you can watch 10 times over and still notice something new.

In Tyler we trust. Also When meatloaf died IRL the internet was flooding with "his name is Robert Paulson" the world chanting it.

Number 1 rule of Fight Club, you don't talk Fight Club.

[@playerone7663]

Wow Ive seen this movie over 20 times at least but never thought of the idea that Marla is another one of his personalities! But I still think she is just a....complicated woman. 😆

[@jamesconner-myers4375]

I've heard that the book implies that Marla is the third/final personality. I've read it but didn't pick up on it. Time for a re-read I guess.

[@NATIK001]

If one keeps oneself to the movie, there is no guarantee that anyone else is real. Though Project Mayhem probably do have at least some amount of people in it given Tyler's access to secure locations and such, he probably recruited at least some people to aid him. Tyler spent a lot of time setting things up, even before he "meet" the narrator. It is pretty much impossible to say how much of everything is Tyler and how much is really other people. In the end one isn't meant to know what is real and what isn't, it's about the journey and the message really.

Just noticed. When Pitt opens his briefcase the soap with the twine looks like explosives with charge cords.
