Sam and I had a blast with this movie and it instantly became one of her top movies! I would love to talk more but.. well you know the rules!
Thank you all for the support!
RED EYE (2005) FULL MOVIE - Rachel McAdams
By making this video you broken that rule. Tyler Durden won't be pleased.
My movie from my time the 90s one of the all time greatest 90s movies of all time! saw it back in the days on booze and high as a kite lol yay yay!!!
One of the greatest sayings of all time "its only after you have lost everything that you are free to do anything....
watch Heat (1995)
One clue. When Ed Norton was beating himself up in the office he said "I'm reminded of my first fight with Tyler".
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.
"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.
Also how did Tyler know where marla lived and she never questioned when Tyler shows up... she knows immediately who he was
it's amazing how they tied everything. must have taken a lot of work to fit in all the clues and go back and forth making the movie.
@@virtualsnake1994 to be fair a lot of it was taken from the book
Brad Pitt is such a great actor, who’s been in so many iconic roles. I sometimes don’t think he gets the credit he deserves.
It's because when he started out, he was seen as just another pretty boy w/ no talent.
It's true, George Clooney doesn't have anywhere near as many great performances yet is considered an equal for some reason
@@thoughtsendprayers9712 Clooney doesn't have as many? You check his imdb, right?
@@TedBrogan I can't think of any iconic performances by Clooney, maybe the Fantastic Mr. Fox? When has he truly immersed into a role?
@@thoughtsendprayers9712 Fantasti....? Oh, I see - you're trolling. 😆 Btw, I loved that movie.
Samantha: “I like Bob!”
Fight club: “His name is Robert Paulsen”
Fight Club came out in 1999. If you look at what else came out that year, it's insane: The Matrix, Office Space, Election, Blair Witch, Sixth Sense, Rushmore, Virgin Suicides, The Iron Giant, Being John Malkovich, Galaxy Quest, The Talented Mr. Ripley, to name only a few. My vote's for a whole "TBR Schmitt: 1999 Movies Reaction Series."
Yh the world was ruined by that 911 thing
Yea.. I was thinking the same but 20 diffrent movies
And Dogma
And the next year: Memento by Christopher Nolan.
Yup, and now Hollywood just puts out garbage remakes, prequels, sequels, and franchised to death films.
I started my first job in '99 as a cinema usher, fantastic year to be working in a cinema even though I walked in on Fight Club's big reveal
At the very beginning of the movie Ed Norton says, "I know this because Tyler knows this." It's the first indication.
This movie is incredible on many levels.
I am Jack's reaction to the movie.
Hahaha perfect
A lot of people think Norton's character is named Jack because of the sayings, even though the source of them is clearly explained in the scene where Tyler is riding the bike in the house.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I am Jack's sense of irony.
I think we are all Jack
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.
It's so funny how many people know the 1st rule of Fight Club, but not the second ...
Exactly everyone knows you don’t talk about fight club but no one knows you don’t talk about fight club
I only know the 2nd rule; what is the first?
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself What were we talking about?
@@Itwasalwaysme_Noone
Emotional support groups for men. :: wink ::
It's under control sir.
8:38* he actually hit him in the ear! Lol! David Fincher loved it so much he left it in the final cut of the movie.
Hahaha that’s great!
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.
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.
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.
Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors. His novels are always off-kilter. My favorites are Invisible Monsters, Fight Club, Damned and Survivor. Always a fun, quirky (and often disgusting) ride.
at the beginning when he says " i know because tyler knows" is the biggest clue.
Haha yeah, its like one of those riddles solved by the first few seconds but goes on for a minute. Nobody thinks they heard it but they did :P
You couldn't really see the Tyler flashes on VHS, but they are very apparent on DVD/blu-ray.
Maybe YOU couldn’t. But I certainly could.
@@steve822009 Yeah I definitely could as well.
Yes I could, dumbass.
There are so many lines of dialogue that give little hints to the twist.
"I know this because Tyler knows this."
"I nod off, I wake up in strange places with no idea how I got there."
"... could you wake up as a different person?"
"For some reason, I thought of my first fight with Tyler."
The list goes on.
“Bob told there’s a Fight Club up in Newcastle.”
“Oh yeah, I heard about that, did you start that one?
“No, I thought you did?”
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.
Wow crazy move by David to get around the loop hole but I can imagine her frustration finding out what she said!
They actually filmed the original line, it's in the outtakes on the DVD.
@@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.
@@Joshu_Y yeah
I TOTALLY remember that line from the movie. I mean, I repeated it for years. I had a dvd directors cut, I wonder if thats where I heard it. Now Im gonna have to watch my blu ray and see if it’s there.
@@extantsanity dude needed that extra grip
I always enjoy how perceptive Samantha is, I really hope she hasn't seen Memento, The Matrix and The Usual Suspects because it'd be great to see her unpick those. Make it happen Daniel lol.
Great choices
Great choices. Also Primal Fear with Edward Norton and Richard Gear. Great movie. Edward Norton really is an outstanding actor.
Shutter Island?
@@Britonbear heavy, boring. And, my opinion, the finale as good as it is, is not worth to see the whole thing.
@@mantralibre1367 nah its epic
It's fun to rewatch this and you can see the clues are everywhere.
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
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.
Respect to the Husband here for not giving it away
It must have been so so hard and but your lip
Hahaha thank you! It was a challenge not to spoil anything by mistake but we made it and Sam got to some great conclusion pretty quickly!
@@TBRSchmitt you did well marrying this woman sir your a superb couple
I never liked this movie. The way it was done and the presentation, the gore, the over action, etc... bored me to death. I watched on vhs from a movie rental place and then later through the years after hearing the hype I tried numerous times. It just puts me to sleep. I don't like it. I am a man.
The real genius is how the twist is CLEARLY right in front of the audience the entire film, yet no one notices
Another clue is where Tyler calls him back, and the phone booth has a "no incoming calls" sign.
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.
Great movie. You should see another David Finch movie called The Game 1997 with Michael Douglas. It is a very underrated movie but it is a one in a life time experience you can not recreate the first time you see it.
Thanks for the suggestion Toto!
Another vote for The Game!
Another vote for The Game. One of the best movies ever made.
Great movie
Yes Yes Yes! Love that movie!! Another vote here.
"At least the police is not infiltrated"
5 seconds later: *Surprised Pikachu face*
Golden !
Early in the film he said “sometimes Tyler spoke for me” “he fell down some stairs” “I fell down some stairs”
Two thoroughly likeable people giving genuine, natural reactions to some of my favourite films. Best film reaction channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work!!
"If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"
And then the camera pans over so you see Tyler for the first time in the movie.
2:52 pause when the doctor says "Thats"... Tyler is there just grinning lol
Details man😭
3:07 as well😂
This is one of those rare movies that gets better every time you watch it.
Jack: “Does this make you happy?”
Marla: “What do you get out of it?
Jack: “It’s totally different with us.”
Marla: “What do you mean by ‘us’?”
Also:
Marla: “Who are you talking to?”
Tyler: “Shut up.”
Other great David Fincher movies, the Game with Michael Douglas and Gone Girl. Both excellent, but The Game, if you've never seen any reviews or plot hints, will blow your mind.
Haven’t seen either yet and have never heard about The Game so excited to have my mind blown lol!
The Game is excellent
@@TBRSchmitt omg I LOVE The Game! Have the Criterion Blu Ray!
The Game is AWESOME!!!
Gone Girl is throughly fucked up though! Lol
"The Game" is a total WTF kinda movie!.....
Man your wife is very sharp and intelligent. She always calls out any plot-twist that's on the way.
“Very specific.” Is it actually possible people do not know about Lorena Bobbitt anymore?
The youngings
I actually had someone ask me who that was at work last week. Like wtf?????
That was my first thought as well. I found myself talking to the screen..."It's 'very specific' because it actually happened a few years before the movie came out." LoL
Omg I know! I’m starting to realize I’m now in “that age” bracket 🥺
@@leeannmcdermott8313 hehe
I remember reading the book in college English class. This movie always brings me back to that time! 🙂
Have you done Se7en yet?! With Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.
Probably been stated before but the flashes are of Brad Pitt, you see him quite a few times pop up before you meet his character in the movie.
This film is not only epic for the way it was written directed filmed everything was epic
But the message it says subtly is so apt and still relevant maybe more so
Definitely top 5 best films ever made
Super dense movie for sure that requires multiple watches!
Way too many people these days I could name clearly took the wrong message from the movie, and see Tyler as someone to emulate without any sense of irony. It's even been speculated that a certain line in the original novel is the source of the alt-right's favorite insult "snowflake."
@@Rmlohner True, however the "Alt-right" is a non issue, so many are scared of a nazi uprising/KKK takeover, when in reality it's only a tiny few that even follow that path. But it's blown up to seem like an issue because it invokes an emotional gut response from the overly empathetic crowd, which is growing.
@@kennethburmeister8119 Far Right Nationalism is on the rise around the world. Marginalized people are being stripped of their human rights and, in places like the U.S./Mexico border, are being kept in cages like animals. Actual self-identifing Nazis organize on social media behind a thin veil of sanitized buzzwords while news media outlets such as Fox and OAN actively run interference against anybody who questions them. The U.S. Capitol Building was stormed by White Supremacists and a significant faction of Republicans are resistant to investigating how it was allowed to happen because it would obviously implicate themselves. I know I can't convince you, your mind is already made up, you might even be a bot, but your disingenuous misinformation shouldn't go unchallenged.
@@SaiyanHeretic Easy there, snowflake.
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".
Thank you for this
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. She was really getting something out of this relationship.
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.
12:20 Marla in the bedroom scene, "who are you talking to?" my imaginary personality :)
Two things....first, the waiter towards the end with the black eye that advises against the soup is the lead singer of the band "Live." Awesome band from the 90's! Second, read the book. It's the first from Chuck Palahniuk but it's sooooooooooo good! Not to say the film is not, but the book really paints a better picture. I remember watching this film for the first time when I was 15 and then a good friend handed me the book. My jaw hit the floor. And it isn't even that long...only a little over 200 pages. It won't disappoint!
The casting was purposefully ironic. “You were fed lies that you would become rock star millionaires (but most of you won’t)” and yet among the cast are as you said a man from Live, plus Meat Loaf, and Jared “30 sec to Mars” Leto.
@@davidw.2791 good call.
@@chrisbloomfield3350 IMDB Trivia says something about 30S2M having a PLATINUM Record by 1999.
Fun Fact: The waiter at 24:40 talking about clean food is Ed Kowalczyk-lead singer of the band Live.
I love how observant you guys are and how quick you are to pick things up! Again, love your dynamic!
The liposuction clinic scene is possibly my favorite surprise gross-out scene ever. Never fails to make me laugh and turn away a bit at the same time.
Raymond(the guy who wants to be a veterinarian) is not the only person who got that lesson. In one of the scenes after that, Edward Norton's character close the door in Tyler's bedroom, you can see a lot of id's in the back of the door
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"...
The twist at the end was surprisingly insane! Yet this is an enjoyable movie and I thank you for recommending it. This film made the top 10 Most Memorable Twist Endings on What culture, WatchMojo, and many other RUclips channels.
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.
One of David Fincher's best... absolutely check out his films.. Gone Girl, The Social Network, and Se7en.. among other great films!
Oh BTW his name is Robert Paulson!
The only one we have seen so far is The Social Network!
His name is Robert Paulson
His version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is great. I wish we could have gotten the full trilogy from him.
Yes Gone Girl is great! And I also hope David would have done the full 3 movies in the Girl with the dragon tattoo trilogy. I like the original Scandinavian versions, but I also like how David Fincher made it his own.
Dragon Tattoo is soooo good. It's got so much visual layering, it puts you in that 'mood' that the books had. Incredible film. Gone Girl is very similar, but set in more familiar locations. And Seven is just the G.O.A.T of Fincher films, IMO. I actually assumed they had already done it. Absolute masterpiece.
don't forget, The Game.. his most underrated work by far..
Your wife is so smart to catch that
I never saw that the first time
I sometimes wonder if doing reactions on RUclips 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)
@@osirispluto8782 totally agree with all you said
I can rewatch Any film and still pick up bits
Like I never saw the first spliced clips
And never thought about him being the movie guy job
I love this movie. I’m a sucker for films with creative editing.
When he sees Tyler on the plane: "We have the exact same briefcase." Tyler smirks because, of course, they do.... :)
Back in 2003 when I was diagnoed cancer, during chemotherapy I would watch this movie over and over again.
I still have my Robert Paulson t-shirt .. haha people love it.
Thanks for this awesome review. To me the most obvious clue was his self-beat scene in his boss place, when he said "this somehow reminds me our first fight with Tyler".
An incredible edgy and unique movie. Very well directed. I hope in years to come there will be less spoilers so people can experience this movie. I love how at some point Tyler had instructed the crew that Narrator personality will emerge asking questions and to handle him in a certain way.
"Death to Smoochy", Edward Norton & Robin Williams in a really good dark comedy about a Barney the Dinosaur ripoff. Corruption, murder, revenge, & gluten-free hotdog buns.
Lol I like Robin :D
Excellent dark comedy. So funny and good. Norton plays a character that is the polar opposite of his character in American History X.
This is by far my favorite movie of all time. There’s so much going on in it. Every time I watch it I see something new. The first time I watched it the big reveal at the end blew my mind.
I just loved that u guys showed all the times Brad appeared for fractions of second before he actually appeared in the movie.
You both look so friendly and humble, I like re-watching some classics through your eyes. Keep it up! Much love.
Also, they basically tell you in the opening scene with the dialogue ending,...
"In two minutes, primary
charges will blow base charges, and
those buildings will be reduced to
smoldering rubble. I know this
because Tyler knows this."
His threatening speech to the boss about the Armalite weapon, then the inner monologue: "Tyler's words coming out of my mouth."
Read the book twice,seen the movie over & over.
'99 was a helluva year.
Ending of the book is different in that Tyler had mixed kerosene into the explosives and they end up never detonating. Narrator kills off Tyler same as the film but ends up in a mental hospital where hospital employees reveal themselves to be members of Project Mayhem and that their plans will continue when Tyler reawakens.
I think I was somewhere between 12-14 when I first saw this movie. Somewhat like the Matrix, it made me completely question my entire idea of self.
Ooof that is a strong impressionable age range for a movie like this so I understand!
I had this same experience in 1999. Many films had this same idea and theme that year... Fight Club/Matrix/Office Space/American Beauty.
If you have not seen it.. go watch "ghost in the shell"
Both great philosophical films!
My second favorite movie of all time. And one of the best things about this movie is that while it is very different from the original novel, it tells the same story in a different but incredible way. The book is a great read as well - it is the same underlying story but tells it in such a different way - neither is better or worse, both great but different
"Yeah with enough soap, one can blow up just about anything." Savage haha
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.
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.
Burn after reading to see Brad pit in a polarizing roll from most of his work just a mention have a great weekend y’all
Is my Mom's absolute favorite version of Brad Pitt.
hilarious movie / roll
One of the first lines in the movie is The Narrator saying that he knows the info because Tyler knows the info. Gives it away right from a start.
The fight in his boss’ office reminded him of his first fight with Tyler
The waiter in the diner scene is Ed Kowalczyk singer from the band Live
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.
The image that keeps flashing in the early scenes is the Brad Pitt character forming.
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.
The waiter in the restaurant that suggests she avoid the soup is Ed Kowalczyk. The singer from LIVE.
How on earth was this in a "drama" poll? This is one of the funniest comedies ever! Me and my friends would quote it incessantly. Absolutely one of my top ten favorite films ever. And boy, did it piss off the critics at the time.
First time I was watching this movie, I remember thinking Marla was crazy and annoying. Then I rewatched knowing the twist, and thought "OMG that poor woman"
YES! Saw the "Fight Club" reaction thumbnail, finally signed up for your patreon. I have this distinct memory back in college of when this came out, so blown away by the tone of it, that I rented it again and made my parents watch it with me -- and when the movie finally ended, my dad just said, "Well. Thanks for THAT," got up, and left. Guess I overestimated his appetite for the gleefully dark satire of it all. ;)
One of my favorite clues, and lines, as Edward Norton is beating himself up in front of his boss the voiceover says, "This reminds me of my first fight with Tyler!"
When he shoots at his own cheek to kill Tyler, that proves that Tyler was a cheeky bastard....
1999 had at least 3 great movies where the main character loses his job but gets / takes a nice severance package for himself 'Fight Club', 'American Beauty' and 'Office Space'
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.
Wrong, dumbass. He doesn't try to kill himself.
This is imo one of the most bombastic and ballsy works of American culture there ever was. Reading history and thinking about how civilizations and divinely anointed empires fell makes you realize that Tyler is less of a dark side to Ed Norton's character and more of a hidden, subconscious force of nature that manifests itself in those who feel deeply wronged.
Ever since I saw this movie first time, "Near life experience" has been my favourite saying.
"I feel that we can talk about this movie forever" that is why we are still talking about fight club 20 years later (and breaking the 1st rule)
Seeing this movie in the theater was SUCH a mind trip back then. Glad you enjoyed it!
"In death, a member of project mayhem has a name"; echoes of Sparta, where only those who dies in combat received a gravestone. Even then, the only inscription was "in war".
Also, when the single frame flashes of Tyler show up, listen very carefully to the dialogue spoken carefully when he pops in. Listen to what the woman in the meeting says to everyone/narrator when Marla first dances with him and her cigarette. Tyler and Narrator never interact with the physical world outside their house at the same time- like when they talk and get in the bus. Who pays and who gets shoulder-checked by the jerk. Next scene, the same jerk is getting beat..
I took my friends to see this film a week after I saw it. Was like one of the last times I was compelled to start telling people this was amazing and you HAVE to see it.
Powerful film. Yay!
When he fights his boss by punching himself he says "it reminded me of my first fight with Tyler". The film is probably 90% obvious clues, so well hidden
but 90% of the people who watch it don't know that Marla is to Tyler what Tyler is to Jack
One of the earliest appearances of Tyler is when the Ed Norton character is at the airport on a travellator. He passes him on the left as the camera focuses forward. Blink and you'll miss it.
none is talking about the Tyler's "hidden" frames.
I always find it funny that of all the strangers they was starting a fight with, the priest was the only one that actually took a swing back.
Samantha’s reactions are the greatest thing! Please show her more Fincher masterpieces.
When Tyler pulls the narrator out of the wrecked car, he pulls him out through the driver's side, but Tyler was the one driving the car. But after the crash, he gets out of the passenger side. That's a big clue that people usually miss.
As far as clues, the scene when Edward Norton walks into his boss's office then is throwing himself around the room, he has the line "For some reason, I thought of my first fight with Tyler"
These comments, man... Please read a few before writing your own. Everyone is repeating themselves with the same "trivia".
Here's something I haven't seen written yet: in the book, the Narrator ends up in a mental institution, not holding hands with Marla and watching the city being blown up. He lives in fear that Project Mayhem is still going, that the orderlies of the institution are also members, and everything he did in order to escape a life in the traditional social structure of the world just led him to create another, with similar restraints, of which is he's now a prisoner.
Also, the waiter who advises against the clam chowder when Marla and the Narrator are sitting in the restaurant is Ed Kowalczyk, lead singer of the band Live.
One thing that few notice in this film are the flashes of tyler at the beginning of his story, when he still hasn't created tyler in his mind, if you stop at some points in the film, you can see tyler at the airport mobile roll, tyler at work, etc. . they are really flashes of a fraction of a second, so you don't notice them...you have seen him well.👍
i love this movie too, his psychosis had a logic, which became contagious and even killing tyreal he could no longer stop what was happening...
the ending is left to the viewer to imagine, theoretically it could be that tyrel's world becomes real.
