Fight Club - Renegade Cut

[@renegadecut9875]

This video was made in 2014 for Blip and then re-uploaded when I migrated Renegade Cut to KZbin. My politics are better defined now than they were six years ago. If something I said in 2014 contradicts something I said in 2020, it's because I have evolved on issues and ideology. In 2014, I was a garden variety progressive, and now I'm a leftist. This is not too complicated, I think.

Rewatching this in 2021 and I don't necessarily hate this video but seeing the difference between this and your more recent writing/politics is interesting in it's own right. Really nice to see the improvement.

[@sockatume]

The Starbucks joke comes full circle when the Narrator goes on the run and discovers that Fight Club has become a national franchise - there's one on every corner, to his horror.

[@peterisawesomeplease]

Yeah this was one of the best parts of the movie. They rebellion is so seductive but then it asks what you would replace it with. At the beginning the narrator is a slave to consumerism and his cooperate job but at the end Tyler has done worse to his unthinking goons.

[@Sougamwthmana]

Also, the Starbucks joke ties in to earlier analysis regarding various names and loss of identity

[@bulletproofzest]

The beauty of Fight Club is that the story and the meaning are so good that knowing the twist doesn’t diminish a subsequent viewing.

Knowing the ending makes it better

[@klickklack3949]

[@TupDigital]

Good call...it's one of those deep gems that has more substance than immediately meets the eye(which is plenty already)

[@boundbythecurve]

A good twist has 1 more thing that you didn't mention. A good twist also recontextualizes the meaning of all previous events. This twist is amazing because it also reframes all of the Narrator's interactions with Tyler, Tyler's character as a whole, the Narrator's relationship with Marla, the Narrator's sanity, the purpose of the gang they created, and probably dozens of more things, of course all relating back to the themes of the film.

[@xochitllamora4756]

I know this comment is a year old but I just wanted to point out he did mention in when he said that once the twist is revealed everything falls into place.

[@oasntet]

Another year later, one thing it drastically recontextualizes is the dude who walks up to Tyler and the narrator fighting and asks "Can I be next?" Suddenly the start of the club itself is a narrative void, one that has bugged me (despite being easy to hand-wave) for literal decades.

[@YourXavier]

@@oasntet That's a good catch, actually.

[@staceymeans134]

I always called this a homoerotic masterpiece even without knowing the author's orientation. I also like the idea that Calvin and Hobbes served as the template for the characters including Marla as Susie Derkins and Bob as Moe.(He called Calvin "Twinkie")

[@RockMancuso]

Fantastic analysis. Enjoyed every minute of it. And ignore these haters telling you to leave out the homosexual undertones...especially with Chuck being gay himself, everything you posit seems firmly grounded in logic. That's what an effective analysis does -- explores every possible interpretation and doesn't leave anything out. Very interesting!

30 years later, we get our own Great Depression, Black Death, and even a smidgen of Civil War, as a treat. Be careful what we wish for, future comment readers.

[@MrDanielEarle]

There's another one. When Tyler and the Narrator are having beer, Tyler offers a cigarette to the Narrator, but the Narrator says he doesn't smoke. Later, in his office, we see the Narrator smoking a cigarette.

[@demetergrasseater]

If I'm not mistaken, the first time we see him smoking is playing golf on Tyler's lawn. In that one shot, we see the two of them smoking at the same time.

[@EctoTron1]

Tyler Durden: "We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't" Random guy: "Hang on, you're Brad Pitt. You are a millionaire movie star!"

[@peterisawesomeplease]

I loved this aspect of the film. In another instance they are making fun of the underwear model but its brad pitt. Commonly thought of as one of the most attractive people on the planet. Not only that but his make up and clothing are styled as a male model. I saw this as intentional. It was part of the exploration of how for many men escaping the consumer cooperate controlled life to become self empowered often just leads to them becoming the cooperate bosses or models of attraction. It does not solve the underlying problem. The narrator escapes being a consumer slave only by enslaving his own goon squad and taking away their identities.

[@fabssta814]

If you look it up Brad Pitt was voted “sexiest man alive” for the 1st time in 1995 and after that always a contender even after his 2nd nomination in 2000. I think I even read somewhere that Fincher said he purposely cast Brad Pitt to make a statement. When I was younger and saw the film for the first time the satirical take was lost on me too!

[@thetalisman963]

As he’s says it Jared Leto is standing right next to him

[@ArjanPaijers]

Just like Meat Loaf and Jared Leto. This movie plays the audience over and over again.

[@zumzum74]

I'm of the opinion that you can easily litmus test any given person by showing them Fight Club and then seeing if they got any of the message or if they just thought the idea of a fight club was cool. If you get something along the lines of "I want to start my own fight club" then you should just avoid that person forever, or until they get out of junior high and can think a little bit.

[@irishman6414]

The very first time I watched Fight Club, I think I got maybe 5% of what it was trying to say. That's why I love it so much. I've watched it about 15 times and read the book twice and it still holds up every time. I feel that, above all else, the film (and book) is about self-destruction. A lot of people don't get why shooting himself in the cheek makes Tyler go away, but it's because the narrator had to be willing to give up everything (his life) in order to truly find peace. I see it as being almost Christian in a way. The narrator's sacrifice allows him to be "reborn," much like Christ's death and resurrection. Giving up his material possessions is analogous to Jesus' teachings about "do not be conformed to this world." But again, that's just one interpretation, one that probably wasn't even in the minds of the filmmakers and author. But that's what makes Fight Club such a rich film: You can bring your own ideas to it. It doesn't spell everything out the way some films try to shoehorn in symbolism.

[@irishman6414]

Grizabeebles I feel like that part is rather obvious, but you're not wrong.

[@BrandG]

BTW, one of my favorite hints about the twist was the fact that Tyler's hand is not blocked in any of the previous scenes (not deliberately, anyway), and does not have the "Lye Kiss" on it. Afterward, of course, he does have it.

[@esaddelic7438]

so far the best review about Fight Club, good job

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

I read the book and I STILL haven't seen the movie (but I want to), and, initially, I thought the narrator was in love with Tyler in a very possessive kind of way. He even kind of talks about a supposed love triangle: "I want Tyler, Tyler wants Marla, Marla wants me, and Tyler doesn't want me around, at least not anymore."

[@keithhightower646]

"Through a scanner darkly" also pulled off this twist expertly. Pity it's such an underappreciated gem.

The whole "stand outside and not be let in for days" thing is directly lifted from formal Zen training. Particularly the Japanese "koan" based styles, such as Rinzai.

[@TheScientist408]

This has to be one of the most misinterpreted films of all time. How or why people are unable to recognize the satire about consumerism and toxic masculinity is beyond me. Every dude-bro in a frat has a poster of Tyler Durden. It baffles me that people don’t understand this movie.

[@Godzillakuj94]

In hindsight it was probably suggested to me cos I watched Maggie May Fish's Fight Club video a couple of weeks ago

Watching this video, about one of my favorite movies, after watching the Mickey Mouse video, is crazy inspirational for me as an aspiring KZbinr… I feel like I’ve watched you go through so many changes, and I don’t even think of them until I go back to your earlier work. So seamless your improvement, so obvious your unchanging talent. Thanks for existing, Leon

[@Aster_Risk]

I've never understood how people view this film as misogynistic. That's one of the few things I can think of that doesn't seem to be a part of this film. Women are barely even in this film, and it's very clearly focused on men and the way they see and treat themselves and other men. Glad you mentioned this, because I've seen several folks analyze this and not mention the bits about gender, masculinity, and sexuality.

[@Aster_Risk]

BINARYGOD Good comment. I agree. I have considered myself a feminist most of my life, whether others like that or not, and I see this all over. There's a lot of problems with including certain topics in our discussions. That's kind of why I like to seek this type of stuff out, and why I enjoy something like Fight Club so much. I love discussing things, and trying to understand different points of view. I just love seeing humans portrayed as complex and having many different motives or reasons for the way they are. This movie (and book) in particular has a lot of layers.

[@demetergrasseater]

The only female character is Marla, and she provides us with an interesting perspective more than anything. She goes to support groups for the complete opposite reason the narrator does: to provide comfort against her poverty. She can look at the dying people and think "at least I'm not them." Meanwhile, the narrator is going to provide comfort against his affluence. Perhaps he can't sleep at night because of an overwhelming guilt towards having so many material possessions? This would be supported by the fact that he never complains about insomnia once he moves in with Tyler and abandons all the things he once cherished.

[@PurpleBandit3000]

My favorite movie!

[@SnarkyLesbian]

The line about the qualification to become the President really aged horribly from today's perspective. xD

[@literallygaston2489]

The Snarky Lesbian Well, yes and no. There are millions of people like Trump that would never have a chance to run for president and the reason Trump had that chance is because of his wealth, connection, charisma and lack of self-doubt.

[@JThom529]

KosmicznaKoneko low standards for charisma must be

[@valravn6777]

"Tyler is not someone to be admired [...] bits and pieces of his philosophy may have some accuracy [but] Tayler is the villain" So much this. So many people buy into his initial (as you rightly pointed out almost Buddhist) ideas and think "this is the guy we're supposed to root for" and end up thinking that the latter ideas (3d act) are the logical continuation of those, missing the fact that Tyler ends up being a manifestation of toxic masculinity Also I think it's worth to notice that Tyler is the byproduct of the Narrators insomnia, so, as a symptom, he starts off pretty mild and then gets more extreme and crazy When I first watched the movie I also fell for "Tyler's right" thing, but then I read the book and I ended up thinking that the story is ultimately about finding balance: first Narrator lives a life of extreme consumerism, then he trashes all that, reconnect with his masculinity (suppressed by his consumerist lifestyle) finds some happiness in it, but ultimately ends up on the opposite side of the same coin and realizes that extreme anti consumerism and supermasculinity are equally bad. In the end Tyler is not exactly dead, but he and Narrator are sort of united, the Narrator find the balance between the consumerism (the original Masturbating-to-Ikea Narrator) and extreme anti consumersim (Tyler), becoming whole

[@meialua7124]

Which point of the book states that a balance is needed?pretty sure the book ended with the narrator ending up in a mental hospital man

[@harrybracken9348]

[@earthdog7900]

When I read the novel before the movie came out, the twist was "ruined" on the back cover. The hint on the back cover made it clear what would happen. I still read it anyway to see how it was going to be pulled off.

[@jaysoncornish4779]

The one detail I missed until I watched this was that the curtains in the hotel room when the narrator was confronting Tyler look like a bar code.

[@Frosty_CH]

Ah, sorry, I didn't see that! I realize it's about the film, just that they did end up giving up his name, which I think kind of loses the illusion of Tyler being of the Narrator's mind

[@Frosty_CH]

That would be the author of the book himself, Chuck Palahniuk.

[@KdotLINE]

- In reference to the homosexual undertones/symbolism and/or theories, I think it could be possible that it's more of a representation of masturbation, or more specifically mental masturbation (self absorption - not necessarily in a bad way - more so just a person being content with living in their own head). - When Tyler says "I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need." I can see that as a point where his mind is starting to play with the idea of embracing his 'self' as opposed to an outsider for comfort, male or female. Though he obviously wavers a bit with Marla. - Soon after on the bus Tyler also says "Self-improvement is masturbation" which segways into where The Narrator becomes completely one-minded about 'masturbating' his main desire at this point in the movie - the emotional release he gets from Fight Club and to some extent (his Tyler Durdan side) Project Mayhem, though things start to fall apart at that point. He starts to live only in his mind, in his little world that he's created, where things like being presentable at work, or being rude or making people uncomfortable, are not a concern. He even gets some happiness/fulfillment out of rejecting everything outside of his world (mind) as he sees it as beneath him. He sees this all as self-improvement, embracing this mental projection named Tyler and his philosophies, which are of course his own to begin with - stroking the ego in a sense (sexual pun intended). - By the Project Mayhem time period a lot of other influences and emotional changes for The Narrator have happened, and the 'masturbation' starts to fall apart. The Narrator starts to reject the solitary world of his mind, as it starts to go out of control, crack and spill out - a big starting point in the story being the decision to start recruiting people and having them move into the house. - It then continues to the climax of the film, where he fully rejects the solitary/mental masturbation state of mind and kills Tyler. He then embraces another, holding Marla's hand, as they watch the buildings collapse. - This is just a working theory, decided to watch this video before re-watching the film again. Great video!

[@brucegooding716]

[@helugoconache]

then perhaps the line "My God. I haven't been fucked like that since grade school" could be referencing masturbation as well (since Marla is in his imagination too)

Im pretty sure its heavily implied his name is jack. As its tyler speaking as him being the personification of jacks revenge, anger, etc.

[@sarahhirsch8919]

This is in reference to the magazines he finds at the house that has a whole series on personified organs that start from "I am Jack's colon" or "I am Jill's nipple." The narrator referring to himself as Jack is a callback to this, and he never says "I am Jack." He says things like "I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection" or "I am Jack's complete lack of surprise." He doesn't even attribute his emotions to himself.
