This is actually a trailer for the sequel where the main character is making a movie about the events of the third but he hit his head and thinks tyler is real againO_o
Edward hit the nail on the head, I have watched this movie about 7 times now and I still notice new things, and it never gets old either. This movie will go on to be a timeless classic. Mark my words.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Its a real shame that Brad Pitt is really only known for his public image and his private life, because he's a very intelligent man and a truly superb actor.
I find it interesting that what Pitt was saying (about people not experiencing things and being spectators) is 100 times more true than when this interview took place.
I believe Fight Club is one of the few examples in which the film is NOT a downgraded version of the book. On the contrary, it is a perfect re-arrangement of the book's message, details and information, with the added value of what audio and video can convey. This has been achieved and mastered by Uhls and Fincher in a way that I've not seen in any movie... before, or after this one.
Wow are they both still in character or what? Edward looks just as fed up and miserable as his character Jack. Brad is still stuck in Tyler Durden mode, he acts just like him lol such a stud.
Xilo Channel I don't think this has anything to do with a middle age crisis... I'd say that happens in your mid-forties, after you got married and had a couple of kids.
This is a philosophy film. I forced my philosophy professor father (with an "Ethics" focus) to watch the movie and he fucking loved it. Coincidentally, despite being in his late-60's and 5'6," he punched someone in the face 2 months later at a basketball game. It was epic.
I think that's a fair question. I'm not sure if the message was one of lawlessness or a severe reformist movement against programming corporatism. IMO, both would work but that question deserves more thought. Thanks for your comment.
+Don'tcallmeshirley People say it's anti-capitalist, but I don't think that's necessarily true. It's anti-consumerist. Anarchism is a buzz word. True anarchism simply means "no government". If I had to describe it, I'd say it's nihilistically anti-corporatism.
Literally the best film, this film set the boundaries for thriller. A masterpiece. And the both of them, Brad Pitt along with Edward Norton were absolutely phenomenal.
"It looks like you guys are just fighting" Exactly, that's the EXACT reason I hadn't watched until just a few days ago. Seriously, I saw it for the first time just recently. It really sucks, as that's the same for a lot of people... Legendary film.
Short answer is Norton's experience and David Fincher's relentless directing. With Fincher directing you know they had to do that scene as many times as it took to get it right.
Fantastic interview, dude. More of a conversation....and right outta the bag, hits 'em with a notion that the violence isn't what you really believe it as, and these guys, who had probably done 20 interviews before this guy, are enjoying the hell out of it because they understand JC is along for the ride. Well done.
yeah, Im 46 too, like the dude doing the interview. One good thing i remember about having fights in school yards is, once you'd settle your differences with someone in a physical fight, the two of you would have respect for one another from that point on.
True story. In all the interviews I've seen of his he talks about things so extensively. He seems to be a very analytical and serious person. I love the fact that you don't get a typical Hollywood interview from him, with all the typical responses and opinions of the hollywood clones. He's almost refreshingly dull but not in a boring way. Yes he IS deep.
Seriously the No.1 MUST WATCH DVD of all time.. damn this movie is good.. seriously. A standing ovation to Norton, Pitt, Carter, Meat Loaf and the whole cast and crew. Especially Palahniuk... The 1st rule of Fight Club is.. YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB
this is probably the best movie ive ever seen in my life. i didnt even expect it to be as good as it turned out. highly underrated but that goes to show that the underdog is always the winner. i had to choose between this and a beautiful mind to write a paper on for a psych class of mine. its only supposed to be two pages. fuck that one could write about this movie infinitely. so many layers of messages and ideas pertaining to the social structure of this generation and everything else.so much
People with dissociative identity disorder (more commonly called multiple personality disorder) are often unaware the actions their "alters" until they are made aware of them (in this case finding out for himself). Interestingly, the film fits a common case profile among DID patients in that the primary personality is somewhat passive and depressed (depression is often co-morbid with DID) while the alters tend to be more outgoing. Also check out dissociative fugue, similar concept in some ways.
You can tell how great these actors are, if they can go beyond talking about the movie, beyond talking about the behind the scenes, to talking about the core, gist of the ideas presented.
It's so funny how they start to resent each other while they try to get their word in and half way they get interrupted and they just both carry on their statements
***** Well, Edward Norton felt that this film was a piece of social commentary that satirized the radical left. Brad Pitt felt it was a raw, visceral exploration of masculinity, and they both contributed to the script. I think this is one of the things that makes it such a fantastic movie because the writing and the overall message of the film is so ambiguous. Is it about the radical left? Is it about emasculation? Is it a character study of a descent into madness? Is it a critique of consumerism? It's almost as if the person watching(and making) the movie is one of the writers, applying their own interpretation to what the movie is about. I once read a feminist review, in which she critiques the entire plot of the movie, based solely on the clothes the characters wore! The only character she liked was Helena Bonham Carter(big surprise there), not realizing she was merely projecting her own perception of the world, and men in particular, onto the movie, thanks to the brilliance of the way it was written.
He says we're in PC times and this was like 99, 2016 is a complete beast all together, we're in a time where you cant make any joke without offending half the fucking country, shit me drinking water probably offended someone somewhere, damn we need to get away from this bullshit, somehow.
so paranoid. . . saying that you are exaggerating is a understatement, today people have awareness and criticize commentary's that are prejudiced, sometime s go overboard, but this doesn't discredit the motive behind this pheonmenom. also, shawn of the dead amazing movie, laugh my ass off, not offensive, at all, it is not that hard to make greak comedy without laughing at a minority, you just need to try.
I'm a minority and I kinda like to be laughed at because I wanna be able to laugh at other minorities/ethnic/racial groups without feeling guilty, just being honest. Make your racist/sexist/whatever-ist jokes, as long as they're funny, I'll laugh. There aren't many things I consider to be in poor taste and it pisses me off to see so many people with such thin skin.
Yup..If offence is found so be the truth. Meaning sure you may be offended because there is some truth but to take the offence personally means you match some stereotype to your life. And it pisses you off that you could be the butt of a/the joke. One must take a moment and explore why one is offended and as to what part is offended. Usually folks come to the same conclusion you did. >> "That was funny, Tell me another.."
redneckhippiefreak there is more than one way of being affected by a joke, being the direct "butt" of it is just one, have stereotype applied to you for your entire life makes you pissed off even if is not true, especially for not being truth. the people o see wanting to be offended by everything is these twats that everything is a trigger warning for then, everything is pc, everything is sjw, even when it couldn't be farther from the issue. i mean seriously, you have to make trigger warnings for trigger warnings because people can't put 1+1 without making it a "sjw"/freedom of speech issue
These two guys are very good actors, so getting into a script is normal. Both are good physical actors..Ed was in Generation X and Brad has always carried himself.
Fight club is the type of film that you have to see again to appreciate it. When i saw it for the first time i was like"What?" after the film was over. When i saw it again, it's on my top 10 favorite films!
Fight Club is definitely the first movie of the 21st Century and it is still my favorite movie. It essentially captures the essence of what it's like to be a man. I decided it was gonna be the first movie I (re)-watched in the new millenium.
... they had this competition thing going on thru the WHOLE movie and people who've worked on the set described the experience as a really tensed one... which fantastically suited the relationship between Tyler a.k.a Cornelius and Tyler as Tyler and possibly made the movie a masterpiece..
This movie was ahead of its time, I mean the direction, story it was not in at that time. Its been 15 years and I still get blown away from the movie, its insane. Fucking tyler durden
I'm not sure if Ed is a natural born speaker or if he just likes to talk, but he was the main one to talk during the commentary on the DVD. And when i saw him in an MTV award show he was with Selma Hayek and every time i saw him on camera, he was talking.
I love how so many love Fight Club (and they should its a good movie) but so many people hate Alien 3 saying its a terrible movie (and its not) even though both were directed by David Fincher.
i think some people, those who went to a certain extreme, missed the point of the book/movie. Chuck isn't telling you to go out and quit what sustains you, or reject society or to reject religion or school. i think he is asking you to reject complacency and think for yourself "Jack" needed to lose everything to see it but the message is spelled out for you, you don't need to lose everything simply wake up and live life. "this is the greatest moment in your life and you are out there missing it!"
Кино
oh... poor Edward he still thinks Brad is real
This is actually a trailer for the sequel where the main character is making a movie about the events of the third but he hit his head and thinks tyler is real againO_o
you mean Tyler.
Broke the first rule of Fight Club
first two***
Adara J. You too.
Aaaaand now you did too.
Adara J. No?
By acknowledging that I broke it, you confirmed Fight Club was real?
They keep interrupting themselves because they are the same person
the other chair is empty
Nice
Smooth.
Good one man
Renz Monroe you fucking comedic genius hahahaha nice
Wow, it's clear that they are very proud of this film as they should be.
+BigBad Bryant completely agree
Brad Pitt is still acting like Tyler Durden in the interview.
Lol no that's that range I his acting, I swear norton was overshadowed so much in this film.
Edward is so fucking smart holy shit...
MoodiFLEX Makes me hot c: Smart is the new sexy.
I think he went to Yale; his parents upper-middle class I think.
Edward hit the nail on the head, I have watched this movie about 7 times now and I still notice new things, and it never gets old either. This movie will go on to be a timeless classic. Mark my words.
Update; watched it at least 40 times now, my prediction was correct. Still not old.
Lmao.
It's a shame that Edward Norton still doesn't have an Oscar.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Its a real shame that Brad Pitt is really only known for his public image and his private life, because he's a very intelligent man and a truly superb actor.
I find the interviewer abrasive. This is a thoughtful film and this guy sounds like he's hosting a post-game locker room interview on ESPN.
The older I get, the more I relate to the movie. It's a masterpiece of philosophy, of inner peace, and inner chaos.
I find it interesting that what Pitt was saying (about people not experiencing things and being spectators) is 100 times more true than when this interview took place.
Edward Norton is so articulated. I really enjoy watching his interviews.
They broke the first 2 rules.
And by mentioning that, you did too.
Nicolas Walli Touche
Nicolas Walli you too now, and now me!
And the loop continues!
Brad Pitt acts out of his stomach and Edward Norton out of his head. Do you know what I mean? But they're both incredibly great actors.
Just like their respective characters in this movie
+Manu fm Yes :D And did you recognize that the way Brad Pitt is laughing is the exact same ways as in the movie. I'm sorry for my bad english
Lawrence Bluewer Yeah, Tyler Durden was the character he was born to play. And don't worry, I'm not an English speaker either lol
+Manu fm Where are you from? :D
+Lawrence Bluewer Spain, you?
Fight Club taught me how to live.
Everybody is going on and on about Brad, what about Edward!? His acting really took my breath away. AMAZING!!!!!
Why has no one else commented on the fact that ed norton is blonde in this interview?
***** Thank you. By the way, what is Ed Norton's natural hair colour?
"Brad Pitt and Edward Norton" I only saw Edward Norton in this video, misleading title.
Hehe
Dr Fluoride what do you mean by that
@joey watch the movie.
I believe Fight Club is one of the few examples in which the film is NOT a downgraded version of the book. On the contrary, it is a perfect re-arrangement of the book's message, details and information, with the added value of what audio and video can convey. This has been achieved and mastered by Uhls and Fincher in a way that I've not seen in any movie... before, or after this one.
Edward is a great actor, where did he go? I don't see him in movies anymore :/
Edward's voice is...mesmerizing...
he interrupted them so many times
brad is so full of himself
I think Edward Norton wanted to start a fight with the interviewer hahaha
Fight Club was made to be watched at least twice!
Wow are they both still in character or what? Edward looks just as fed up and miserable as his character Jack. Brad is still stuck in Tyler Durden mode, he acts just like him lol such a stud.
I cant believe that Brad Pitt was 35 here!
+Sam Ham 36 actualy, and i know right?
+Sam Ham Meaning what? Does he looks older or younger than 36 according to you?
+videos looks very young in my opinion
This movie was based on middle aged office drone stereotypes. No way is someone qualified to be such unless they were in their mid 30s!
Xilo Channel I don't think this has anything to do with a middle age crisis... I'd say that happens in your mid-forties, after you got married and had a couple of kids.
My god...Brad Pitt is beyond gorgeous.
edward norton is friggin CUTE
"We're in PC times".. Well we're in this hell again 15 years later.
i was thinking the same thing
This is a philosophy film. I forced my philosophy professor father (with an "Ethics" focus) to watch the movie and he fucking loved it. Coincidentally, despite being in his late-60's and 5'6," he punched someone in the face 2 months later at a basketball game. It was epic.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it's nihilistically anti-corporatism.
Literally the best film, this film set the boundaries for thriller. A masterpiece. And the both of them, Brad Pitt along with Edward Norton were absolutely phenomenal.
This movie has such a strong message, I remember watching it for the first time 10 years ago. I got stunned, how time flies!
As a german i really adore the way Edward says "Zeitgeist" :D
it's in the Oxford dictionary, a legit English word
Reminds me how they pronounce Einstein... they don't give a fuck about German pronunciation
One of the best films ever ! the acting, dialogues, script, directing, music, etc. everything is perfect !
"It looks like you guys are just fighting"
Exactly, that's the EXACT reason I hadn't watched until just a few days ago. Seriously, I saw it for the first time just recently. It really sucks, as that's the same for a lot of people...
Legendary film.
Even while Edward was talking I was just staring at Brad Pitt's face.
why i'm still hearing a voice when Edward dosen't open his mouth to talk?
All that and I wish I knew how Edward Norton learned to punch himself in the face like that. Good acting.
Short answer is Norton's experience and David Fincher's relentless directing. With Fincher directing you know they had to do that scene as many times as it took to get it right.
It amuses me that Brad Pitt laughs at the Gucci ad on the bus... I wouldn't be surprised if that was him in the advert.
Fantastic interview, dude. More of a conversation....and right outta the bag, hits 'em with a notion that the violence isn't what you really believe it as, and these guys, who had probably done 20 interviews before this guy, are enjoying the hell out of it because they understand JC is along for the ride.

I've been searching for years and this is the ONLY interview available for Fight Club. Last time I watched this was in 2009
Never knew Brad Pitt was so articulate. Very cool
I love Brad's hand movements when he explains things and Edward's opinions are always so intellectual and well thought about :) Also 3:23 is roflz
When I went to best buy to get this on blu-ray, the guy at the store stared at me for a little and said softly "You just broke the first two rules"
They're so proud... It's like radiating off them. And rightly so. Amazing film.
best freakin movie.
twas freakin amazinn
One of my top 5 favorite films. Edward Norton is my favorite actor of all time.
People with dissociative identity disorder (more commonly called multiple personality disorder) are often unaware the actions their "alters" until they are made aware of them (in this case finding out for himself). Interestingly, the film fits a common case profile among DID patients in that the primary personality is somewhat passive and depressed (depression is often co-morbid with DID) while the alters tend to be more outgoing. Also check out dissociative fugue, similar concept in some ways.
You can tell how great these actors are, if they can go beyond talking about the movie, beyond talking about the behind the scenes, to talking about the core, gist of the ideas presented.
the contrast between their appearance in skin tone and demeanour is stark.. love em both
i thought they couldn't talk about fight club lol
The rules were meant to be broken
I really want to write something intelligent but... DAMN 2 DADDYS
IM YELLING THIS IS LITERALLY ME AS HELL
this movie is like a psychological rollercoaster ! it's simply awesome, a modern-classic. one of my favourites!
It's so funny how they start to resent each other while they try to get their word in and half way they get interrupted and they just both carry on their statements
*****

RileyKaiSeeker oh I know, I was just pointing out they have spent way too much time together and it became a bit of clash of super egos
Where is my mind...
He says we're in PC times and this was like 99, 2016 is a complete beast all together, we're in a time where you cant make any joke without offending half the fucking country, shit me drinking water probably offended someone somewhere, damn we need to get away from this bullshit, somehow.
I was about to comment this exact same thing, it's interesting to see I'm not the only person who picked up on that during the interview
so paranoid. . .
saying that you are exaggerating is a understatement, today people have awareness and criticize commentary's that are prejudiced, sometime s go overboard, but this doesn't discredit the motive behind this pheonmenom.

Having Brad Pitt play that part couldn't have been any better. Who wouldn't want to be that good-looking?
These two guys are very good actors, so getting into a script is normal.
Both are good physical actors..Ed was in Generation X and Brad has always carried himself.
Fight club is the type of film that you have to see again to appreciate it. When i saw it for the first time i was like"What?" after the film was over. When i saw it again, it's on my top 10 favorite films!
I know that Brad is better known for his looks but Ed just has this something about him that is SO fixating! :))
Hahaha...Norton looks like he's about to knock out the dude interviewing him and Brad! Can't blame him!!!
One of the best movies I have ever seen!
One? It will be the only best movie you'll ever see!!!
***** agreed
***** The Big Lebowsky could also have its chance in the competition, if there's one.
0:40 That smile on Brads Face reminded me a lot of Tyler Durden
Fight Club is definitely the first movie of the 21st Century and it is still my favorite movie. It essentially captures the essence of what it's like to be a man. I decided it was gonna be the first movie I (re)-watched in the new millenium.
I love Brad Pitt's goatee from this period. We need to bring that shit back.
Sloth from The Goonies so we meet again. ...
only brad can do it though ... If I would do this I would get deported to Tibet
These guys did a great job in one of the smartest movies ever made.
... they had this competition thing going on thru the WHOLE movie and people who've worked on the set described the experience as a really tensed one... which fantastically suited the relationship between Tyler a.k.a Cornelius and Tyler as Tyler and possibly made the movie a masterpiece..
One of the best and most important films of our generation, if not ever.
Good job guys, I freaking love it.
Edward Norton makes intelligent remarks Brad Pitt is like yeah right;)
They don't make greats movies like this anymore
Yes they do, you dimwit. Don't say things like this, its your fault for not seeking out great movies.
Try mr. Nobody
Brad Pitt is such a cheer leader
brad pitt has changed so much as a person
This movie was ahead of its time, I mean the direction, story it was not in at that time. Its been 15 years and I still get blown away from the movie, its insane. Fucking tyler durden
Edward Norton is absolutely the best, hottest coolest actor ever,he is incredible.
I love the Philosophy in this Movie!
Both of these guys are awesome actors. Great interview. Thanks for posting!!
this movie was ahead of its time. it has more relevance now than it did in 1999.
the things you own, end up owning you.
Fight Club is unique. Brad and Edward should make something together again...
Norton seems a little bit more alpha than Pit in these interviews.
Why is the interviewer talking to himself ?
Its 2011 and i don't know if movies will ever be this good again...
I hope these guys make a movie together again. It would probabaly have to be a comedy. I'll make sure I get this together when I start directing.
4:27 Look at Pitt. I can't.
+Generał Kenobi holy shit dude you made laugh so hard and I peed my pants...
Oh okay
+Olcay Eskici ssdgssasd
i dunno
+Generał Kenobi 4:27 in a 4:26 long video? Or were you making a joke and I'm just way too dumb to understand?
this is a unique interview because the actors actually really want to discuss the movie. They are stoked!
I'm not sure if Ed is a natural born speaker or if he just likes to talk, but he was the main one to talk during the commentary on the DVD. And when i saw him in an MTV award show he was with Selma Hayek and every time i saw him on camera, he was talking.
I love how so many love Fight Club (and they should its a good movie) but so many people hate Alien 3 saying its a terrible movie (and its not) even though both were directed by David Fincher.
First rule of fight club: you do not talk about fight club... I forgot what rule two was
Something about nachos I think...
First rule of what?
We're not supposed to talk about it...
I can't wait for Fight Club 2 to hit the cinemas later this year.
i think some people, those who went to a certain extreme, missed the point of the book/movie. Chuck isn't telling you to go out and quit what sustains you, or reject society or to reject religion or school. i think he is asking you to reject complacency and think for yourself "Jack" needed to lose everything to see it but the message is spelled out for you, you don't need to lose everything simply wake up and live life. "this is the greatest moment in your life and you are out there missing it!"
Edward Norton is still talking to himself.
Fight Club isn't a generic movie, it's a philosophy, a thought provoking signature on the canvas of film. It IS a unique snowflake.
The way that they described it in this interview was the best meaning I've heard for this movie.
fight club blows my mind every time i watch it.
Why can I only see one person in this interview?
