First Time Watching *FIGHT CLUB* (Reaction) | MIND BLOWN!

[@janellp]

Fun fact: after the car crash, the narrator (Edward Norton) is pulled from the driver’s side door, even though in his mind, he was in the passenger seat.

[@Puggapillar]

You really are an expert 😅😅

[@janellp]

@@Puggapillar lol, I just fell down the Fight Club facts rabbit hole. I always found that particular fact really interesting. Also, if you look for it, Brad Pitt’s character doesn’t have the hand burn until he gives it to the narrator.

[@Puggapillar]

@Janell you've now made me fall down the rabbit hole too so thank you 😭 I've watched this 4 times now

[@janellp]

@@Puggapillar You’re welcome 🤣

[@efreshwater5]

Nobody died in the buildings. Tyler explains this to the narrator in the van. It's nighttime... the buildings are minimal staff... janitors, security, maintenance, etc... all members of project mayhem. "We're not killing anyone... we're setting them free"

[@Derkosson]

But like the narrator pointed out "Bob's dead". Just because they planned so there would be no death, doesn't mean they weren't any. Any car or pedestrian that might have been in the streets are 100% dead.

[@lexycobb8272]

Him shooting himself in the end was supposed to be symbolism of him killing his other half and essentially becoming whole again. That's why he didn't die and only Brad did.

[@Animebryan2]

Actually, when he put the barrel of the gun in his mouth, he aimed it toward the lower part of his left cheek, right around where the left jaw joint is, which isn't immediately fatal, but can be if the bleeding isn't stopped. Although after getting shot there, he shouldn't have been able to talk or move his jaw.

[@percy3889]

everything in this movie is a metaphor, except for the shot, the shot was a happy coincidence

[@oTurkish13x]

Basically yea, I don't think he planned of surviving the shot, but him surviving and Tyler being gone has the same effect as the car crash when Tyler left until the narrator figured it out so basically the shock of a 'near life experience' brought him back to reality, twice if you think about it. This has been heavily documented as well throughout the years, the everlasting impact of such an event

[@colemannee9898]

Nobody was killed when the buildings blew up because the security guys cleared them out. Bob was the only person who died. If you liked this you will probably also like Twelve Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Bruce Willis.

[@lizcatty9281]

Lol, I read this comment @ 23:35 in2 vid & it has a newspaper article titled "Missing Monkeys Found Shaved" hahaha, that timing!😁 💚🇦🇺

[@BigGator5]

"The things you own end up owning you." Fun Fact: Author Chuck Palahniuk has stated that he found the film to be an improvement on his novel. Authentic Make-up Fact: During the shooting of the film, Helena Bonham Carter insisted that her make-up artist (Julie Pearce) apply all of her eye makeup with her left hand, because Bonham-Carter felt that Marla was not a person who would be particularly skilled at (or concerned with) correctly applying make-up. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: When The Narrator hits Tyler Durden in the ear, Edward Norton actually did hit Brad Pitt in the ear. He was originally going to fake hit him, but before the scene, David Fincher pulled Norton aside and told him to hit him in the ear. After Norton hit him in the scene, you can see him smiling and laughing while Pitt is hurting and swearing.

[@pulpficti]

He also stated that a certain male demographic totally misunderstood the message

[@extantsanity]

@@pulpficti A lot of people on both sides did. The "this is just a referendum on toxic masculinity" take is just as shallow and incomplete. His motivation was to stir dialog about the male experience, because there were no male equivalents to recurring seasonal movies about female bonding (he cites "Joy Luck Club", "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood", "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", etc.). We constantly portray different male ideals on the silver screen (from jacked Schwarzenegger to witty Bruce Willis), but portraying an ideal is not the same thing as dissecting how men relate to each other and culturally establish the acceptable boundaries of belief and behavior, while talking about what it means to be a man. If an alien species were to judge us based on our movies, they'd think that the only time guys experience any growth is in their teenage years; after "coming of age" stories, we jump straight into action stars and failed dads with no recourse or development.

[@AnaFox]

This movie is such a trip. I’m still bitter that a so-called friend knowing I hate spoilers sent me a harmless-looking post with three sentences and only at the end was it made obvious that those were spoilers for movie endings. I stopped as soon as I recognized one but my eyes had already skimmed “They’re the same person” so it clicked way too early in the movie when I finally watched it tears later. I still had a blast because it's Fincher and it is terrific. But damn she is such a 💩 for that.

[@apatternedhorizon]

The narrator's name is the narrator. He refers to himself as jack(joe in the book) but that's only because of the articles he read. It's never revealed. Tyler was a delusional persona.

[@elijahbaker781]

This movie could literally serve as an origin story for a villain.

[@avaria1538]

I am Jack’s lost sausage roll.

[@MS.Marie82]

39:47 The horror music in this scene is so appropriate, because it would be spooky to see a man fight something invisible on some surveillance footage. You're right it might be crossing over the psychological illness boundaries into the supernatural.

[@chrisf2636]

The line and scene cut interruptions to our thought process is one of the most intriguing things about this movie. “Near life experience” pulls your mind from processing that Norton crawls from the drivers seat. This is why many don’t catch the clues thrown in our face. We’re not given time to process the image before something else f’d up happens.

[@TheRemyLeBeau]

Well, that puts the whole "Give me a big thumb or little thumb, depending on your thumb size" into a new perspective, if you make a fist with that thumb and hit yourself with it. Have you always been a masochist like that, considering you've asked for this on all of your videos? ;) Also, you should go watch the movie Memento. I suspect you would appreciate that one if you're going in blind. In its own way that movie's just as unique and original as Fight Club.

[@DIABLO258]

Every scene in which Tyler and The Narrator are interacting, only one person is actually there. So, if The Narrator sees Tyler holding a gun, what's really happening is that The Narrator has the gun, and is imagining himself watching himself, except he doesn't see himself, he see's Tyler.

[@MS.Marie82]

42:12 I love when the bombs go off and the camera does this earthquake shake thing, and then The Pixies "Where is my Mind" kicks in and it just tops off the scene. Also the way they hold hands and stand there and watch the city skyline crumble. You can feel the old world is crashing and as Tyler intended and a new world is being born. Its just a haunting image. Great cinema!

[@SargNickFury]

THE Gen X movies of all Gen X movies....and that probably deserves some psychoanalysis.

[@DragonOfYokohama]

One of the best movies ever made. I am so glad you reacted to it Alex, you literally are my favorite reaction channel. I love you man hell yes 🙏

[@knitwitchpgh]

If you rewatch the beginning youll see tyler i believe like 6 times and starbucks cups that flash too. And omg john bernthal would be an amazing tyler durden!

But technically you just did

31:54 In the novel Edward Norton's character was just referred to as Jack or The Narrator.

"You can give her some soap for free" got me good. Great stuff.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

27:45 that is Jared Leto

he payed for what he would do in the future, with his depiction of the joker XD

[@tree6787]

This movie is so awesome one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie is when they're trying to pick a fight it's so funny

you keep saying Tyler is the joker...but 27:45 literally fights the Joker(Jared leto).

[@georgenelawson9917]

That's cool part when he's doing articles and one says about missing monkeys Maybe that's a Easter egg for twelve monkeys which brad Pitt is in too acts crazy on that too and has similar sayings lol Tyler and that guy would see eye to eye similar view points to the world both even has similar conversations about consumerism lol and anarchy lol.

[@Nate-007]

Thank you Alex for giving us another one of the best reaction video on youtube. Your comments are just great man.

[@TheHawkman2132]

it's funny, he has to get in a car crash just to get some sleep.

[@TrueBeauty2974]

I never noticed before that the taxi he gets out of says, "SCAT" on the door

[@alijoselesli84]

There are hundreds of messages if you analyze phrase by phrase as I did, the most important one is that you are in peace in life when you overcome the fear to die(the greatest one of everyone) which happens when the narrator edward norton shoot himself and in this moment you don't need a Tyler durden anymore, people who haven't done this in life (99% of population) need to imagine better lifes all the time and cover the unhapinnes with entertainment,drugs, alcohol,tv and so on... All of us have a Tyler durden( something that want to go out from the confort zone) and it will be in us until we overcome our fears in life, I know it is very spiritual, not rational but in my case I think this is true. I did the proof, which is to live several days without internet, cigarretes... in a natural way without anything , only you ,water and natural food and I feel very depressed

[@MS.Marie82]

22:05 "No, dude you can't beat up your boss" but wait there's method in his madness. "I am Jack's smirking revenge" 😏

[@MS.Marie82]

3:20 Yes you got a subliminal image. I never stopped the film to actually see Brad but I knew it was him after second time I seen the movie. So this is the first time I've seen him in that still shot. I love how he looks like such a smart ass.

2:54 The visuals in this movie are pretty cool. It's one of the reasons I like it. I love the dialogue and how closely it matches novelist Chuck Palahnuik's written word. And to top it off Edward Norton's sarcastic monotone delivery.

[@90bubbel60]

you would be suprised with how much the human body can survive

[@lizcatty9281]

So true, I always thought the fact 1 punch can kill is just nuts coz overall we can withstand so much!... But still the smallest thing can kill u! (Infected bug bite or somethin is prob a better example than a king hit, but, u know, in this context/situation it fits better👌)🙃 💚🇦🇺

The entire time I was watching this I was wondering how bad is it gonna be when he get’s his mind blown out the back of is head 😂.

[@jakewissink9675]

Two things. Alex said that Tyler gives him “Joker vibes” The blonde dude that got beat to a pulp is Jared Leto who played in my opinion a horrible Joker. Second, you said “Isn’t his name Bob?” Here in the U.S. Bob can be short for Robert just a heads up. :)

[@Marcus616]

My cats name is Milo. He’s a tuxedo cat (I think that’s the name for my type of cat with black and white fur, although it more grayish than black). Maybe our cats are related?

You are by far the funniest and smartest reactor on KZbin dude!

[@ariondelgado5490]

That dudes hallucinating

[@vskane]

This movie is my favourite of all time. I must have seen it dozens of times and it gets more intriguing on every watch. My theory: It’s played for laughs as he describes it, but the narrator’s job is horrific. He’s essentially reducing human life to a formula on a spreadsheet in the name of corporate profit. That’s what gives him insomnia and ultimately breaks his mind. He fractures his personality into distinct characters. Tyler is his rage. Marla is his guilt. Bob is his compassion. There seem to be others but that’s quite the rabbit hole. In fact you can drill down all the way into this story and still find more. I can watch Star Wars fifty times and enjoy that same movie. Fight Club is a new movie on every viewing.

[@MS.Marie82]

12:17 Hearing Dracula and tummy aches in the same sentence. 🤣🤣!!!

First rule of fight clubs we don't talk about Fight Club.😁

[@Mugiwara_kq]

Alex you broke the first rule

[@0okamino]

And the second rule.

[@OompaLoompaFu]

FCFF: if you do a frame-by-frame on the scene where Jack shoots himself in the mouth, you'll see the bullet flying diagonally out of the frame, implying that it either went cleanly through the cheek or bounced off his teeth/jaw. Fincher doesn't miss a thing

[@MS.Marie82]

The first rule of Slightly Gay Scuffle Club is you do not talk about Slightly Gay Scuffle Club

[@MS.Marie82]

24:58 I like these visual. It reminds me of when I used to get a little vertigo. It just shows how Tyler's perspective is off kilter like he's fixing to blow and he's staring directly into the camera as if he's pulling the audience into his world. Cool shot.

[@coreypitts4572]

Not sure if you noticed. But, Jared Leto was the blonde guy. Who got the shit beat out of him by the narrator.

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

Guess who would also be great in this? Sting. He and Jared would be the most blond guys!

[@trinitybirtcil6696]

Even though Tyler said that Edward Norton created him. I have to wonder if it was the other way around. Tyler's way of putting his weaknesses and conscious and morals into one entity. Which then all the morals and stuff eventually weeds out Tyler as something it doesn't need because it's everything bad even though he was the original. Sorry If I screwed everyone's brain worse lol

[@mayapowell5575]

I was 6 years old when this movie came out. But I’ve never seen it

[@MS.Marie82]

26:50 Yeah, the fight club was like the bait that reeled in all these men, and I never thought of Tyler as a cult leader but now that you pointed it out I guess he is. You're right in real life this is how cults start. You get a intelligent,charismatic guy with control freak narcissist ways and add in some vulnerable desperate people looking for a purpose in life that are easy to mold and there's a cult.

[@ChronosTachyon]

FYI, Roobert Paulson was played by Meatloaf, the musician (and everyone's favorite main course at Transylvanian dinner parties). Also, personally gonna have to disagree with you about the cocked gun in the mouth… and book author Chuck Palahniuk would probably respond with "can't I have both?"

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

[@brandongomez3876]

There is so many people reacting to fight club rn, anybody know why other than because it’s a great movie

[@Animebryan2]

Because the inherent message is so relevant right now. Tyler talked about working the jobs that you hate to buy the shit that you don't need. He's pointing out that working at a job is akin to being a slave to modern society just to spend your hard earned dollars on bullshit you don't need but think you need because that shit is constantly shoved & waved in your face with constant advertisements. Especially in America where the our economy isn't just capitalism, but greedy capitalism, where everything we do, we get constantly "nicked & dimed" for everything. Just look at how much money goes down the drain just to run a car: The base cost between 5k-20k that you're constantly making monthly payments on, Auto Insurance which is required by law now & most insurance companies don't want to serve the purpose that they were created for, DMV fees, which many like Tags are complete BS & extortion, then there maintenance, which is not only overpriced, but many auto repair shops try to scam you with fake procedures like "Brake Light Fluid" and claiming to work on your vehicle if you decide to leave & come back later on, etc. Considering the corruption in Hollyweird (pedophilia, woke narrative, etc.), I'm surprised a movie like this was allowed to be made. Just look at what happened to Stanley Kubrick after making his last movie Eyes Wide Shut. Tried to shed some light on the corruption of the elite, and now he's dead.

[@B-Dad]

My guess is bullet train was recently released on digital. Many actors see a surge in their past films when a new one comes out.

[@trumphatesyou]

It was considered unfilmable when the book came out.

[@georgenelawson9917]

Is it weird that I'm looking at you and looking at Edward notron and thinking if you shaved your beard loose the glasses you'd look just like Edward Norton in this lol. Do you have a Tyler durdan side to you or are you just the narrator lol.

Try to not step on the narrator. Air is not the same as pure oxygen. That was not "His" car. Did you not see the guy chasing behind him calling him not Tyler Durden, but "Hey, come back here!"? By the way, the best way to spread the word about something is to tell people not to spread the word.

He went to the doctor who suggested valerian root and to go testicular cancer meetings. He was suffering from Narcalepsy. Or however you spell that?
