One clue. When Ed Norton was beating himself up in the office he said "I'm reminded of my first fight with Tyler".

[@revuproar5636]

When he says "can you wake up at another place a different person?", it is the first time we get a real good look at Tyler passing him by.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

"I knew the story before he even told me." "Sometimes Tyler spoke for me." "Who are you talking to?" "Deja vu, all over again." And when the driver drops off the car right before the driving scene, he addresses Mr. Durden as the camera pans across to show he's clearly looking right at Ed Norton, while Tyler is off to the side. There's so many little hints in this film.

[@lafountain40]

Also how did Tyler know where marla lived and she never questioned when Tyler shows up... she knows immediately who he was

It's remarkable just how much Fight Club outright tells you, and how good it is at making you forget what it told you, on first viewing. Remember that it *opens* with a name drop of Project Mayhem and what it's about to do, and the line, "I know this, because Tyler knows this." And then it spins you around with the Narrator's story of support groups and insomnia, and his repeated doubling back in how he tells it- and by the time you're 15 minutes in, you no longer remember that the movie began by tipping you off to the whole plot.

This was the last book my father ever read. He was sick (fuck you, leukemia) and asked me for a book to read. I gave him Fight Club. Told him he might not like it, but he did. When he got to the twist, he was all "they were the same fucking person?" Haha. I miss that man.

[@ajtaylor8750]

One of the best films ever made. Acting, cinematography, editing adds so much chaotic energy to the film, and the overall story told is a perfect adaptation of the novel by Chuck Palahniuk of the same name.

[@potterj09]

I saw his book in the children section of a Target store in a small Australian town in I think 1995. I was 13 or 14, and I bought it. In the midst of classic high school literature this book launched me into a whole new wild world.

"At least the police is not infiltrated" 5 seconds later: *Surprised Pikachu face* Golden !

[@Rmlohner]

David Fincher originally wanted to use a line from Marla in the novel, "I want to have your abortion." The studio wouldn't let him, so he took advantage of a bit in his contract that they could make him change a line once, but not twice, and changed it to the even worse "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school," and they were powerless to stop him. And Helena Bonham Carter, being British, actually had no idea she was saying her character had sex as a preteen, and was none too happy when she found out.

[@TBRSchmitt]

Wow crazy move by David to get around the loop hole but I can imagine her frustration finding out what she said!

[@Joshu_Y]

They actually filmed the original line, it's in the outtakes on the DVD.

[@extantsanity]

@@TBRSchmitt IIRC, I think she said she was just embarrassed about the line, not that she was upset about it per se. She said she kept hearing everyone giggle in the background whenever she said it, until someone explained it to her and she was like, "OOHHHHhh...." She was also more embarrassed at her parents seeing the scene where Brad Pitt opened the door with the dishwasher glove on, haha.

"... could you wake up as a different person?" "For some reason, I thought of my first fight with Tyler." The list goes on.

It's fun to rewatch this and you can see the clues are everywhere.

[@soho2409]

Another clue is where Tyler calls him back, and the phone booth has a "no incoming calls" sign.

[@DarthPoyner]

That sign is to discourage incoming calls. The booths cannot block incoming due to 911 having to be able to try a call back. There were other ways to monitor that kind of thing, but it wasn't a " YOU CAN'T do incoming calls". I had to have call backs to payphones a few times in my younger days.

[@personanonomys6546]

Another hint is that when narrator beat him self up to frame his boss he said for some reason it reminded himself of his first fight with Tyler

[@benjaminarmitage4987]

This movie has infinite hints. They get more and more subtle. Like, how the "volume is turned down" at work after fight club starts? Because he hit Brad Pitt (himself) in that ear.

[@totomomo18]

I sometimes wonder if doing reactions on KZbin makes you better at watching movies. Most people (or at least a lot) watch movies to zone out and numb their mind, but if you're doing a reaction video I imagine you've got to be super alert, watching every little detail. And not only do you have to do a critique at the end, but there's thousands of people watching you watch. That being said TBR and Sam are always quick with it and super smart as well. Just one of the reasons why I love their channel so much. (They're also super cute)

[@TheTitandog70]

you can see three very brief appearances of Tyler Durden in early scenes. the hint of him emerging from the surface of Jack's mind. This great movie is the second time you watch it after you know the secret. you feel really bad for marla because he treated her like shit. and you start to notice her soften her look as the movie went along.

Big Correction: This movie is NOT anti-capitalist. Many people make that mistake. It is anti-materialist or more specifically anti-consumerist. A lot of people mistake it to be pro-anarchy, when in fact the whole "rebellion" is a metaphor for a search of meaning in form of the rejection of the status quo. In the end of the movie our main character finally forms a cohesive personality that he can be content with, because he finds meaning within himself instead of being defined by the way he is perceived by others, utterly devoid of outer pressure. It has been described as "the empowerement of the self".

Brad has short clips in movies that are just enough to see what/who he is. He's great in 12 Monkeys" and Snatch" too. In 93' right before The X-Files came out, Brad was in a movie with Duchovny where he was too strange to figure out, and with Juliette Lewis... Kalifornia"...

[@christiandines]

I took the ending as in; Tyler is always trying to get the narrator to hit 'rock bottom' and the narrator constantly needs tyler to help him achieve this step by step. But at the end, although he fails, the narrator does try to kill himself - which is arguably the textbook definition of hitting rock bottom. So given that he does this without Tyler's help or encouragement but on his own, and does it precisely to destroy Tyler (by destroying himself) this destroys Tyler - as The narrator from this point, no longer needs him.

[@MrParkerman6]

Wrong, dumbass. He doesn't try to kill himself.

Interesting exercise: Compare Brad Pitt talking about commercialism in "12 Monkeys" ("We don't make things anymore...What are we for then? We're consumers.") to Brad Pitt talking about consumerism in "Fight Club" ("What are we then...Right. We're consumers."). These monologues are very similar. These movies were made pretty close to each other. Brad had a lot to say about consumerism in the late 90s.

Best movie of the 90's! One of the first clues about Tyler is right at the start when he visits the doctor and tells him he wakes up in strange places (which you guys probably catched since you have that line in the edit :) ) Small little tidbit: when Norton shows his bloody teeth during the business meeting, that wasn't planned. Between takes the camera was still running when makeup asked Norton to show his teeth so they could check the fake blood was still in place. Fincher liked the shot so he put it in the movie.

[@mediasawdust2458]

In that scene where Tyler tells him to hit him, the punch itself was improvised. Brad Pitt told Norton to really hit him and not say how he was going to do it so that it would be a surprise. Pitt’s reaction to getting punched in the ear was genuine.

The big guy that hugs Ed Norton is the Singer from the 70s known as Meatloaf. He is one of my favorite singers. I like the man so much I saw him in concert 3 times. He was big in the 70s. He had an off time in the 80s. Then he makes a comeback in the 90s. His best albums are bat Out hell, Bat out of Hell 2, and Walk into the Neighborhood.

The fight in his boss’ office reminded him of his first fight with Tyler

One of my all time favs, and the score by The Dust Brothers...**Chef's Kiss**

A great example that opinions are mere opinions ( Movie critics ) and do not matter at the end of the day. There is just so much substance in this movie wrapped in even more style that most people find it overwhelming, or if they do understand it, are then scared by it because the movie is actually holding a mirror to its audience and showing how easy it is for someone to go to extremes.

This is the first reaction I’ve ever seen where someone guessed the twist!

[@joaosantos5503]

Now do the other Fincher films 😁

Back in 2003 when I was diagnoed cancer, during chemotherapy I would watch this movie over and over again.

A new one i caught this time is the fight with the boss. He's beating himself up and says it reminded him with his first fight with Tyler.

[@bigredtlc1828]

It's a movie like "The Usual Suspects", where your first experience differs from subsequent viewings but you can still totally enjoy it every time.

[@impossible7163]

Ever since I saw this movie first time, "Near life experience" has been my favourite saying.

😲😲Ohh snap... Fight Club. just woke up jump on KZbin after morning rituals seen the notification then proceeded to watch immediately 🤩🤩

[@Unc13Fu]

Ah yes, Fight Club. In my humble opinion the best movie ever made, most certainly my favorite of all time. It is just a perfect, flawless masterpiece and totally changed the way I saw Brad Pitt
