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.

    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.

    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.

Because far, far too many people heard the line, thought it was profound, and never consider the second half of the movie. You're supposed to be drawn to Tyler, only to realize "oh wow, would I have become one of Tyler's space monkeys?"
      The two in the back seat for the car crash, right? 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.

    I like the movie more than the book because in the movie essentially Norton's character has two conflicting forces. His insomnia is driving him to be antisocial while his attraction to Marla is giving him a human connection and this helps him claw out of the pit he's dug himself. In the book it is his attraction to Marla that causes his descent which makes much less sense since it also helps him reject it.

    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."

    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

    One of the more interesting thoughts about this movie, Is the first initial person to join fight club after Norton/Pitt. Would have only saw a singular guy beating himself up and asked to join in. Which is psychotic in itself. HE would have then had to tell a friend or two that you can come with him to beat a guy up. And that is how it got rolling.

In an interview at the time, Chuck Palahniuk was asked "Do you think it at least odd that a person beating himself up viciously would influence other people to join in the 'club' initially?" His answer was "That step in the process wasn't shown. I can't explain that missing link, I guess that is the suspension of disbelief that is required of the viewer."

    I absolutely love this film, from everyone's performances to Fincher's fantastic directing, it is so incredibly well made.
    At the heart of it this was a commentary on the dangers of cults and the cult of personality. And it's even more poignant today... this book/film was a warning to society, and unfortunately a lot of modern men have taken it as a guidebook. So many grifters are using it's same conclusions to take advantage of vulnerable individuals and radicalize them.

    I gotta say it's kinda funny how the "grade school" line got into the movie. The original line was "I want to have your abortion", but the producer said it was too much. David Fincher agreed to change it on the condition that they use whatever replacement line he gave them.

  • @goatkiller666
    @goatkiller666 25 дней назад

    The scene when Marla says, “I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school.” is interesting for two reasons. Helena Bonham Carter is British, where they don’t use the term “grade school”. She didn’t realize just how morally wrong the line was when she said it, but the book upon which the movie is based says, “I want to have your abortion.” The censors made them cut that line, so they did a reshoot with the grade school line. The censors wanted to cut this as well, but they were afraid of what the script writers would come up with next.

    They tell us right from the beginning, and none of us understand until it's too late. "I know this because Tyler knows this."
    Later, when he's hitting himself in his boss' office, the internal monologue comments that it reminds him of the first time he and Tyler fought. Of course it does. He was hitting himself then too.
    All those flashes? Tyler. Well, all except the one at the end.
    It's so much fun watching someone who hasn't been spoiled on this movie watching it for the first time, missing all the same clues that the rest of us missed, and having their mind blown at the big reveal.
    For a couple of other "unhinged" Brad Pitt movies, I recommend Twelve Monkeys and Kalifornia. He is different kinds of crazy in both. And for another movie with Brad Pitt that is filled with twists and turns, I highly recommend Bullet Train, if you haven't seen it yet. It's loads of fun.
