28:35 "Wow... Tyler is really in your head." What a great observation. You saw what was going on. You just didn't realize the full extent of it, understandably.
Fight Club is infinitely rewatchable. Not only are there countless clues and Easter Eggs but the acting and dialogue is so good that it always captures your attention
I was just thinking that. When Tyler put Marla on the bus out of town, I just noticed, for the first time, that there was a movie marquee in the background. The movie playing was "Seven Years in Tibet," starring Brad Pitt.
And a bunch of different scenes you can see that Marla isn’t real either. She’s a figment of his imagination like when they’re at her apartment they don’t show up in the reflection in the mirror.
@@hannibalkingmlThat was a camera angle issue not that she was fake. You forget the whole movie is a NARRATION, everything you saw could have or never have happened and you will never settle the debate of who is real because the movie you just watched was in reality the movie Fight Club was made by Tyler Durden the whole movie. 🤯🤯🤯 The flashes of Tyler throughout the film? Put in by Tyler Durden, evident by the big hairy c*** flashed at the end of the film.😂
One of the clues I only recently figured out is that Narrator's background (some kind of chemist specializing in fire) is exactly the kind of person who would know how to make soap, burn his apartment and make explosives.
"A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car." He's referring to the case of Lorena Bobbitt, which happened in the 90s a few years before this film came out. She cut her husband's wee-wee off and drove off, chucked it on the side of a road somewheres. Somehow the cops were able to find it, get it on ice, and it was successfully reattached, and John Bobbitt claims that it works fine these days. The 90s were wild!
That way she said "did *I* call *you?"* line is said with such a subtle implication, that I hadn't noticed what was *actually* being implied until watching the movie again a couple more times. She didn't know Tyler. Granted, she's a little cracked, but you can also tell that she's not cracked enough to grab a total stranger into her living space, then leave with them to their house. So then you think back to it and realize that she's implying that he's different since the last time she saw him. In such a clever way that you probably dont pick up on it your first couple viewings. The whole framing of everything in this movie is so ingenious that it is an amazing, out of the box adaptation of its source material.
This is one of those movies that you can't rewatch and see it in the same way. Every single scene appears differently when you watch it the second time. When Tyler boards the bus, he doesn't pay. When they have their car crash, Tyler is driving and the narrator is in the passenger seat, but when they get out, they have switched sides. And so on...
@@Centane well, yeah, the glitch pitt 😅did you notice tyler on the tv? not sure, if i'm at that point yet. there are just so many details! anyway, i really appreciate reactions to this movie. it reminds me a little bit of when i first watched it. if you appreciate the weirdness of all the story elements, you might want to check out chuck palahniuk (author of the novel). he has some interesting ideas for story-telling.
The greatest masterpiece EVER ! 20 years watching to that movie sometimes, never got bored of it, we all need to watch it many times to get ALL the references and the easter eggs in it.
This is in my top five movies, but that line has always bothered me. If you've truly lost everything, you can't afford to do anything. I'm not being sarcastic or picky. I lost everything and years later I'm still hunting for scraps. Just sayin'
@@katiegwynn4495 I understand those words fully, I remember being very poor, I actually was more free than ever, I just moved to another country having few cents in my pocket - something I wouldn't do having house, children, etc.
@@katiegwynn4495 I think it’s more to do with not being bound by the limitations set up by society/government, like having to wake up at a certain time to go to work to pay rent and taxes and buy things we don’t need which he says something similar in another scene. it’s kinda why I think post apocalyptic movies and tv shows are so popular. people yearn for a simpler time, where there’s ultimate freedom and you only have to worry about the basics of survival and not worry about if your late you might lose your job which could lead to you loosing your house and not being able to eat or if you park in the wrong place you’ll get a hefty fine and if you don’t pay they take your car or get sent to prison etc.. and similar things that this modern society thrusts upon you. I no it’s been romanticised and that it wouldn’t be as easy as people think but thats kinda what I take from that line and a few others in the movie.
"Memento" is another movie that will totally mess with your head. It's very good and it's the first well known movie that Christopher Nolan directed. He went on to direct the "Batman" trilogy, "Interstellar", "Inception", etc...

Centane: The cutting off of a penis and throwing it out of a car really happened, in the 1990's I think, by a woman named Lorena Bobbit. It was major news story. Love your reactions!
18:49 You should see the outtakes on that scene. She ad libbed a TON of responses and that one was the most tame. If you know the joke about "The Aristocrats", she went down that road.
The whole thing was a psychosis induced by sleep-deprivation. Tyler was making his way into the story early in the movie with those blips you would see on the screen. Then the narrator found the meetings, started crying, and started sleeping, and those bleeps of Tyler disappeared. Then Marla's presence disrupted The narrator's ability to sleep and Tyler showed up in full force. Then they got in a car wreck and the narrator was knocked unconscious and got some sleep. That's why, when he woke up, Tyler was gone. Then, when he went looking for Tyler for a few days, he wasn't sleeping, and Tyler reappeared.
One theory that I'm partial to is that this all started as a result of his job. He goes around the country, visiting the scenes of fatal car accidents that are caused by the company he works for. The information he knows about the safety violations begins weighing on him and he develops insomnia. It's possible that the things he knew, caused him to become extremely scared of dying as well. The insomnia, coupled with his increasingly guilty conscience, leads to him developing the disassociative personality disorder. This is what led to the creation of his alter ego. It was a coping mechanism. It also ties in nicely with the support groups. Those support groups provided him a release of his guilt. He was so distraught about the things he saw at his job that he was literally losing sleep over it. Crying at those meetings helped ease the anxiety caused by his job and allowed him to sleep. But the constant road trips and dead bodies prevented him from making any real progress. Until finally, he just snapped and essentially became Tyler Durden for longer periods of time. And finally, the end, where he shootz himself, is where he confronts his guilt and his fear of dying, which is what ACTUALLY allows him to shed his alter ego for good.
This movie is my favorite of every movie I've ever seen in my life. Everything except for Project Mayhem and Marla parts it was exactly how I was when Fight Club released and it was like watching an autobiography about me. I have chronic insomnia and that movie was exactly what my life's been like. The days of no sleep, 3-4 hours maybe when you do, doing tasks without knowing I did them. Everyone has that one movie where you can't help but think, "That movie/characters relates to me" and Fight Club is that movie for me. A little personal story about seeing Fight Club for the first time... One of my best friends, that kind of friend that's pretty much your doppelganger, saw this with me on opening night and it blew both our minds so much that we, I kid you not, stayed up the next 2 days and watched it 10 times in a row. It was the greatest thing we ever saw, so much that him and I thought the song "Where is My Mind?" at the end was going to be our death song at each of our funerals and we made a bet which one of us would get to use it first. I won't tell you the stakes of our bet but it was a funny one. Anyway, decades later he won (or lost if you think about it considering he died from a Heroin overdose). I had all but forgotten our little bet when it played at his funeral and when it caught me by surprise I immediately laughed out loud at the beginning of the song. He beat me to it and I had to laugh but,Aw man, the tension I felt in that room when all eyes where on me was excruciating. I did however have to explain to alot of people why I laughed after, I just told them about the reference to Fight Club and why it reminded me of him. I guess you can say I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral. 😂 If you know, you know. Fight Club is the greatest movie of all time. There so much you don't catch every time you see it, that's what makes it the greatest. I've got one for you that I've never seen anyone catch but me and that's in the scene where the Narrator puts Marla on the bus. If you watch as the bus drives away you see every passenger in the bus get up and rush to the front to grab Marla. There's one where when the car is crashed upside down you see that the Narrator is dragged out by Tyler from the driver's side of the car. Anyways, this movie was mind blowing and the look on your face at the twist was exactly what I felt the first time seeing it. Great video, I suggest you watch another pivotal mind altering movie to my life and see SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard. The end will get you...
15:00 I was thinking about this. Fathers are very important to men because there comes a time in a man's life when his father treats him as an equal. It's sublime. Men who don't get that validation from their father will always feel empty.
Before the movie, you stated that you didn't know the actors, other than Brad Pitt. Robert "Bob" Paulson was Meatloaf. The "actual" Tyler was Edward Norton, an amazing actor. Many reactors like to react to his movie - "American History X." It's pretty cool. Plus, skinny Edward Norton is a badass skinhead . . . and looks the part. You won't believe it's the same guy,
11:36 He's referring to John Wayne Bobbit, who's wife Lorraina did just that, cut it off and threw it out a car window. Amazingly he got it reattached and later starred in an adult film. It was all over the news at the time.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life." I saw this when it came out and it's been one of my favorites ever since. I just never get tired of it. The book is also very interesting. They get one thing right. There's only so much you can know about yourself until you've been in a fight.
U are my favourite reaction content creator (I've seen so many of your reactions that I'm ashamed to admit how many) because you coment only when u want to say something and not forcing urself to talk all the time like many other creators on yt. you focus on the movies and watch them properly. I'd like to watch something with you sometime. you are adorable
Now you have to watch it again, to truly understand it. This movie is definitely a guy's film, not because of the fighting part, but because of how cerebral the message of the movie is.
Just imagine a world where people could come together to make a difference. It is the only thing that can overcome absolute rule. In America the corporations absolutely rule but they know the people are soft, lazy, idiots. Therefore they have nothing to fear.
"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. Goddammit, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables-slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man: No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war; our Great Depression is our lives. 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. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off." Fight club is one of my all time favourite movies. It is so great. And I do reccomend people to watch it more than once. It is actually a totally different movie when you know the plottwist and you can see ALL the funny details. Like when Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are on the bus. A random man needs to get passed them. Who does the man look at? Only Edward Norton. Not even seeing Brad Pitt. Why? Because he is not there!
I've heard Chuck Palahniuk's book the films based on is great as well. Haven't read it but it's on the list. Currently rereading Frank Herbert's Dune books. Stay safe wish you and those close to you nothing but the best.
@Centane usually those meetings are free. Typically someone's love one will ask a building owner if they can use a building for a good cause and host one.
Same. I watch 3 movies from the 90s anytime someone reacts to them, regardless of whether I’d ever watched their channel before. 1) Fight Club 2) Good Will Hunting 3) Pulp Fiction Each one gives me an excellent sense of the person just by their reactions alone
@@asharpbflat7179Sorry its quite a long and unnecessary read but I feel the message is actually often misinterpreted by it's target audience of men who feel the point is to let go of everything and fight anyone and anything you believe is wrong. Which if you do think that's the point of the movie, you're the people that it's making fun of. However it's more obvious to women (usually, as I've seen some women interpret it the same wrong way). Fight Club is a cult and this movie is an indictment of Buddhism. In fact it's easy to see the comparison between Fight Club and Buddhism, from shaving your head and cutting ties with all possessions to the endurance of physical abuse from your superior and feeling nothing except for your willingness to give full obedience. On the surface level it's of course supposed to seem deep and very insightful to cut any attachment to materialism in life and stick a middle finger to capitalism. You know, real freedom. But that's because both the movie and the in-movie concept of fight club is made to play into and manipulate what men want, basically a chance to finally cut loose and tap into our animalistic instincts, so much so that we overlooked what we would do and lose just to reach it. As opposed to the "traditional" female perspective on the movie and seeing how it's about losing control of your own life and using physical aggression and abuse between two guys (albeit with consent) to cope with that problem. That's why commonly male reactors will enjoy the idea of Fight Club whereas usually a female reactor would see it as creepy and controlling. Edit: Tl;Dr : I guess it's making the point of how susceptible we as a society are to joining a cult following because of our own ever-growing desperation for a purpose in our lives. Which is a real issue that's getting bigger even to this day. We shouldn't give control to a government and capitalist ideas NOR should we give control to a rebellious voice that advocates “freedom”. They both are the opposite extremes of each other. We need to control our own lives.
I remember introducing my younger brother to this movie about 15 years ago. Some 20 minutes into the movie, he was like, "I bet Marla is just in his head." Then, 20 minutes later, he was like, "Oh, it's Tyler that's in his head." I couldn't believe it.
You are absolutely correct, the thinking behind everything they are doing in this is film is wrong and violence is an answer to their unclear, but very real frustrations with the world. I enjoy your insight and sense of right and wrong, you always manage to restore my faith in humanity. Thanks for another great reaction.
I remember seeing this movie in the theater. When the big reveal came and the audience found out that he is Tyler Durden I heard people saying,”Holy sh;t,” and,”No f’ing way.” I already knew. Not because I picked up the clues earlier, but because I had read the novel about two months before. But the movie had enough changes to surprise me, and more than enough to make me miss a few parts to the story.
David Fincher, the director of this movie is known for giving you twists and turns that you don't see coming, I recommend THE GAME (1997) which is his previous movie to FIGHT CLUB.
I love this movie, and it brought forth a favorite tv series of mine, Mr. Robot. That too is a mindfck masterpiece. It took Fight Club's themes but in a more serious note.
Ed Norton is such a great actor but he also has a really awesome sounding German voice actor. I like to advertise our industry a bit more in that regard, it seems to get a little bit more attention overseas recently. But you should check out "Andreas Fröhlich" ("Froehlich" if you can't find the "ö" 😅), he's REALLY good. He also voiced Gollum, which allegedly was a pain in the butt for him but he did it MASTERFULLY....
Omg chick 😂👍 I've watched several times of your reactions, but welcome to a life changer😂 welcome to fight club, remember the first 2 rules, and never spoil the twist😂👍❤️
The 'other guy' is Edward Norton. he's a very niche actor pretty much, he's usually pretty good in his roles.And no you're not tripping about the flickering, that's an intentional effect added into the movie that makes sense after it's done.
LOVE this movie. It might get even better the second time you watch it; you gotta rewatch it off camera sometime in the future! It's the kinda movie everyone _needs_ to see at least once (I'd argue twice)
You really need to watch the movie multiple times to really appreciate the brilliance of the story and direction. It is interesting to see someone's first take which was very close to what I remember mine being like. Mine was WTF did I just watch? Then I wanted to watch it again knowing what I knew and it blew the whole movie wide open for me.
Another movie I always love the twists in is The Thomas Crown Affair, both the 1968 and 1999 versions. I prefer the 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, and Dennis Leary, but both are good. More in the crime/heist genre, but they are a fun watch.
I vividly remember reading the book for the first time in high school back in the early 2000s. I felt like I was getting away with something bad in my tiny Southern church town while sneaking chapters in class after finishing my assignments. I even wrote a scholarship application comparing the narrator of Fight Club to Frodo Baggins. Yes, I was an idiot, but the sheer audacity got me a full-ride, baybee! It still blows my mind to this day there are people who watch this and think "Yeah, Tyler Durden was a totally cool guy and should be emulated!" Even as dumb as I was at 16, I knew this was closer to a cautionary tale, or something like it.
That line about a woman throwing something out the window of a car actually happened. Her name was Lorena Bobbitt, and the something belonged to her husband. The "grade school" line was something else originally, and David Fincher agreed to change it on the condition the replacement could not be refused. For the movie, Edward Norton starved himself, avoided sunlight, and didn't exercise at all, so his character would shrivel as the story goes on, while Brad Pitt ate healthy, exercised constantly, and got plenty of sun, so Tyler would gradually grow healthier as he takes control. And this movie is a great watch when you already know the twist. You see the actual confusion in other characters when Narrator and Tyler contradict each other.
Growing up, Forest Gump was my favorite movie. Then The Matrix was my favorite movie. Then when I was an angsty becoming-rebellious teenager, my friend brought over Fight Club to show me. It became my anthem as a lonely computer junkie. It took me a long time to recover from Fight Club. Nowadays, I am happily married w/ children as a 37yo dude and The Matrix is my favorite movie of all time again :] To the impressionable young bucks out there who are looking for a sense of purpose: Fight Club is just a movie! It may speak to you like it did me when I was a teenager, but it's just a fictional story. Build something with your finite time on this planet, something that only YOU can build, and create value for your fellow human beans. Meet a nice lady that's not selfish, self-centered, or crazy, who makes you happy, and make her happy. You will have ups-and-downs, highs and lows, but on the whole your life will be good. Be the best that you can be for your family, friends, and community, and you will go far.
One of my favorite movies. An overt teardown of consumer culture hiding a teardown of toxic masculinity. So smart and David Fincher(the director) was at the top of his game with how detailed it is.
I've been waiting for you to watch this movie and react to it for a long time ! 🤩 The next one that I can't wait you to see is The Wolf Of Wall Street.
To feel something, thats the answer to the question you asked, why he started it. Once you realise your life has no meaning, that you will be forgotten and nothing you ever did will be remembered. Then you know its all pointless and its hard to feel any reasons for being alive. The fights made them all feel alive at least for a few minutes

It was the greatest thing we ever saw, so much that him and I thought the song "Where is My Mind?" at the end was going to be our death song at each of our funerals and we made a bet which one of us would get to use it first. I won't tell you the stakes of our bet but it was a funny one. Anyway, decades later he won (or lost if you think about it considering he died from a Heroin overdose). I had all but forgotten our little bet when it played at his funeral and when it caught me by surprise I immediately laughed out loud at the beginning of the song. He beat me to it and I had to laugh but,Aw man, the tension I felt in that room when all eyes where on me was excruciating. I did however have to explain to alot of people why I laughed after, I just told them about the reference to Fight Club and why it reminded me of him. I guess you can say I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral. 😂 If you know, you know.
Fight Club is the greatest movie of all time. There so much you don't catch every time you see it, that's what makes it the greatest. I've got one for you that I've never seen anyone catch but me and that's in the scene where the Narrator puts Marla on the bus. If you watch as the bus drives away you see every passenger in the bus get up and rush to the front to grab Marla.
There's one where when the car is crashed upside down you see that the Narrator is dragged out by Tyler from the driver's side of the car. Anyways, this movie was mind blowing and the look on your face at the twist was exactly what I felt the first time seeing it. Great video, I suggest you watch another pivotal mind altering movie to my life and see SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard. The end will get you...
15:00 I was thinking about this. Fathers are very important to men because there comes a time in a man's life when his father treats him as an equal. It's sublime. Men who don't get that validation from their father will always feel empty.
"I really don't know what to expect here"
Understatement of the year 🤣🤣🤣
Before the movie, you stated that you didn't know the actors, other than Brad Pitt. Robert "Bob" Paulson was Meatloaf. The "actual" Tyler was Edward Norton, an amazing actor. Many reactors like to react to his movie - "American History X." It's pretty cool. Plus, skinny Edward Norton is a badass skinhead . . . and looks the part. You won't believe it's the same guy,
Yeah, American History X is definitely worth watching. I would also recommend Rounders and The Illusionist.
Congratulations Kamilla, you have just had a near life experience.
"Wow, Tyler's really in your head." 😁
11:36 He's referring to John Wayne Bobbit, who's wife Lorraina did just that, cut it off and threw it out a car window. Amazingly he got it reattached and later starred in an adult film. It was all over the news at the time.
Fun Fact! Bob in the beginning with the women chest is none other than Singer Meatloaf!
"You met me at a very strange time in my life." I saw this when it came out and it's been one of my favorites ever since. I just never get tired of it. The book is also very interesting. They get one thing right. There's only so much you can know about yourself until you've been in a fight.
U are my favourite reaction content creator (I've seen so many of your reactions that I'm ashamed to admit how many) because you coment only when u want to say something and not forcing urself to talk all the time like many other creators on yt. you focus on the movies and watch them properly. I'd like to watch something with you sometime. you are adorable
25:00 the way your eyes were darting!! 👀😂
Now you have to watch it again, to truly understand it. This movie is definitely a guy's film, not because of the fighting part, but because of how cerebral the message of the movie is.
Just imagine a world where people could come together to make a difference. It is the only thing that can overcome absolute rule. In America the corporations absolutely rule but they know the people are soft, lazy, idiots. Therefore they have nothing to fear.
"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. Goddammit, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables-slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man: No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war; our Great Depression is our lives. 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. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off."
Fight club is one of my all time favourite movies. It is so great. And I do reccomend people to watch it more than once. It is actually a totally different movie when you know the plottwist and you can see ALL the funny details. Like when Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are on the bus. A random man needs to get passed them. Who does the man look at? Only Edward Norton. Not even seeing Brad Pitt. Why? Because he is not there!
I've heard Chuck Palahniuk's book the films based on is great as well. Haven't read it but it's on the list. Currently rereading Frank Herbert's Dune books. Stay safe wish you and those close to you nothing but the best.
@Centane usually those meetings are free. Typically someone's love one will ask a building owner if they can use a building for a good cause and host one.
watching people experience Fight Club for the first time is definitely one of my passions in life
Same. I watch 3 movies from the 90s anytime someone reacts to them, regardless of whether I’d ever watched their channel before.
1) Fight Club
2) Good Will Hunting
3) Pulp Fiction
Each one gives me an excellent sense of the person just by their reactions alone
Now this is a movie with a really good twist, message, and sound track
What's the message?
@@asharpbflat7179His name was Robert Paulson.
@@asharpbflat7179 marry a woman like Marla Singer, if you can.
@@asharpbflat7179Sorry its quite a long and unnecessary read but I feel the message is actually often misinterpreted by it's target audience of men who feel the point is to let go of everything and fight anyone and anything you believe is wrong. Which if you do think that's the point of the movie, you're the people that it's making fun of. However it's more obvious to women (usually, as I've seen some women interpret it the same wrong way).
Fight Club is a cult and this movie is an indictment of Buddhism. In fact it's easy to see the comparison between Fight Club and Buddhism, from shaving your head and cutting ties with all possessions to the endurance of physical abuse from your superior and feeling nothing except for your willingness to give full obedience. On the surface level it's of course supposed to seem deep and very insightful to cut any attachment to materialism in life and stick a middle finger to capitalism. You know, real freedom. But that's because both the movie and the in-movie concept of fight club is made to play into and manipulate what men want, basically a chance to finally cut loose and tap into our animalistic instincts, so much so that we overlooked what we would do and lose just to reach it. As opposed to the "traditional" female perspective on the movie and seeing how it's about losing control of your own life and using physical aggression and abuse between two guys (albeit with consent) to cope with that problem. That's why commonly male reactors will enjoy the idea of Fight Club whereas usually a female reactor would see it as creepy and controlling.
Edit:
Tl;Dr : I guess it's making the point of how susceptible we as a society are to joining a cult following because of our own ever-growing desperation for a purpose in our lives. Which is a real issue that's getting bigger even to this day.
We shouldn't give control to a government and capitalist ideas NOR should we give control to a rebellious voice that advocates “freedom”. They both are the opposite extremes of each other. We need to control our own lives.
I remember introducing my younger brother to this movie about 15 years ago. Some 20 minutes into the movie, he was like, "I bet Marla is just in his head." Then, 20 minutes later, he was like, "Oh, it's Tyler that's in his head." I couldn't believe it.
Maybe he watched it before and never told you
I debate if Marla is real. There are times when she seems real cuz she interacts with other ppl but I personally think she is a delusion also.
Love your reactions. Glad you got a kick out Fight Club..no pun intended. 😅😂💜
And I agree with you guys, great editing and reactions from Kamilla!!!!!!!!
Its a fun movie to watch a second time, hints are everywhere.
Find your channel just by chance and i love it. Saw lot of reactions, congrat for the freshness and honesty on them.
You are absolutely correct, the thinking behind everything they are doing in this is film is wrong and violence is an answer to their unclear, but very real frustrations with the world. I enjoy your insight and sense of right and wrong, you always manage to restore my faith in humanity. Thanks for another great reaction.
28:40 "wow tylers really in your head"
literally.
I remember seeing this movie in the theater. When the big reveal came and the audience found out that he is Tyler Durden I heard people saying,”Holy sh;t,” and,”No f’ing way.”
I already knew. Not because I picked up the clues earlier, but because I had read the novel about two months before. But the movie had enough changes to surprise me, and more than enough to make me miss a few parts to the story.
this is the 1 movie that the reactions from the men and women usually are hugely different
11:36 True story. Lorena Bobbitt.
David Fincher, the director of this movie is known for giving you twists and turns that you don't see coming, I recommend THE GAME (1997) which is his previous movie to FIGHT CLUB.
😂😂 ‘That was creepy, I thought he glitched’ well…
We all go a little glitchy sometimes.
24:24 I love that Tyler is looking at Jared Leto when he says "Millionaires and Movie Gods and Rock Stars", which Jared is all three, lol.
Brill reaction! This is one my fave movies and books 😁
Chuck Palahniuk books are great. i recommend 'Lullaby', 'Choke' and 'Invisible Monster'
This is a movie you can watch three times and still find things you missed before
I love this movie, and it brought forth a favorite tv series of mine, Mr. Robot. That too is a mindfck masterpiece. It took Fight Club's themes but in a more serious note.
Ed Norton is such a great actor but he also has a really awesome sounding German voice actor.
I like to advertise our industry a bit more in that regard, it seems to get a little bit more attention overseas recently.
But you should check out "Andreas Fröhlich" ("Froehlich" if you can't find the "ö" 😅), he's REALLY good. He also voiced Gollum, which allegedly was a pain in the butt for him but he did it MASTERFULLY....
11:38 I love how younger people think this is just a weird example of an extreme situation, but it actually happened. Look up Lorena Bobbitt
Omg chick 😂👍 I've watched several times of your reactions, but welcome to a life changer😂 welcome to fight club, remember the first 2 rules, and never spoil the twist😂👍❤️
The 'other guy' is Edward Norton. he's a very niche actor pretty much, he's usually pretty good in his roles.And no you're not tripping about the flickering, that's an intentional effect added into the movie that makes sense after it's done.
LOVE this movie. It might get even better the second time you watch it; you gotta rewatch it off camera sometime in the future!
It's the kinda movie everyone _needs_ to see at least once (I'd argue twice)
You really need to watch the movie multiple times to really appreciate the brilliance of the story and direction. It is interesting to see someone's first take which was very close to what I remember mine being like. Mine was WTF did I just watch? Then I wanted to watch it again knowing what I knew and it blew the whole movie wide open for me.
28:40 when you know the answer to the riddle without knowing you know the answer to the riddle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #braintrip
"wow Tyler is really in your head" ........................................... yup
28:42
😂
You just summarized the whole movie.
The facial reactions were on point once again, the look of shock at times
21:59 I once took apart the J-joint of the shower drain. All the accumulated clog debris was Orange.
"Tyler is really in your head." LOL.
Another movie I always love the twists in is The Thomas Crown Affair, both the 1968 and 1999 versions. I prefer the 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, and Dennis Leary, but both are good. More in the crime/heist genre, but they are a fun watch.
For sure watching it again gives more obvious clues as to the wtf reveal. :) It's always wild to see someone react to the twist. Didn't disappoint. :)
I vividly remember reading the book for the first time in high school back in the early 2000s. I felt like I was getting away with something bad in my tiny Southern church town while sneaking chapters in class after finishing my assignments. I even wrote a scholarship application comparing the narrator of Fight Club to Frodo Baggins. Yes, I was an idiot, but the sheer audacity got me a full-ride, baybee!
It still blows my mind to this day there are people who watch this and think "Yeah, Tyler Durden was a totally cool guy and should be emulated!" Even as dumb as I was at 16, I knew this was closer to a cautionary tale, or something like it.
Hmm, would that make Tyler Sam? 😁
11:37 Yes, that is a true story. The woman's name is ironically, Lorena Bobbitt.
39:12 "Seven years in Tibet" is on at the cinema, a movie which stars Brad Pitt! 😂
19:08 Oh, you sweet summer child... :)
I loved the Rollercoaster! Thanks!!
And the stress/relief response is exactly the original purpose of the Fight Club.
You always have the best reactions, and this movie knows how to make one react. :D
That line about a woman throwing something out the window of a car actually happened. Her name was Lorena Bobbitt, and the something belonged to her husband.
The "grade school" line was something else originally, and David Fincher agreed to change it on the condition the replacement could not be refused.
For the movie, Edward Norton starved himself, avoided sunlight, and didn't exercise at all, so his character would shrivel as the story goes on, while Brad Pitt ate healthy, exercised constantly, and got plenty of sun, so Tyler would gradually grow healthier as he takes control.
And this movie is a great watch when you already know the twist. You see the actual confusion in other characters when Narrator and Tyler contradict each other.
She is the one who shall not be named.
Growing up, Forest Gump was my favorite movie. Then The Matrix was my favorite movie. Then when I was an angsty becoming-rebellious teenager, my friend brought over Fight Club to show me. It became my anthem as a lonely computer junkie. It took me a long time to recover from Fight Club. Nowadays, I am happily married w/ children as a 37yo dude and The Matrix is my favorite movie of all time again :]
To the impressionable young bucks out there who are looking for a sense of purpose: Fight Club is just a movie! It may speak to you like it did me when I was a teenager, but it's just a fictional story. Build something with your finite time on this planet, something that only YOU can build, and create value for your fellow human beans. Meet a nice lady that's not selfish, self-centered, or crazy, who makes you happy, and make her happy. You will have ups-and-downs, highs and lows, but on the whole your life will be good. Be the best that you can be for your family, friends, and community, and you will go far.
"Oh no... not the genital"
🤣🤣🤣 yes RIP those balls. Unintended joke but so on point, you're awesome! ❤
one of my all time favorites; glad you enjoyed.
now, rewatch it again and consider the possibility that marla is yet a third personality 😉
Glad to see you breaking the first rule of Fight Club.
You know, commenting on the rules is to break the rules.
I just came here to say this
This movie has such a good twist. Knocks you off your feet. 😂
After 25 years still one of my favorite movies!
28:42 "Wow, Tyler is really in your head." hahaha just wait.
This movie is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk who has written a lot of zany books and short stories. The best one is a short story called Guts.
11:36 You know you're getting old when the reactors are too young to get a Lorena Bobbitt reference 🤣 👴
This is an incredible movie! There is so much to say about it, but I can’t talk about it.
😊
Fantastic reaction to this classic late 90s movie I saw this a lot as a kid.
One of my favorite movies. An overt teardown of consumer culture hiding a teardown of toxic masculinity. So smart and David Fincher(the director) was at the top of his game with how detailed it is.
The greatest drug in the world is walking out of a movie theatre and asking what the fuck did I just see. This film is one of those experiences.
Great reaction!🌿🌸
MMO's and other online games had guilds, clans, etc. which used the name Fight Club. This film was 'inspirational'.
And now make sure to watch the movie again sometime! 😃 Its gonna be a whole new experience because youll know the context 😃
I'm fond of watching someone like you watch something like that xD
I've been waiting for you to watch this movie and react to it for a long time ! 🤩 The next one that I can't wait you to see is The Wolf Of Wall Street.
To feel something, thats the answer to the question you asked, why he started it. Once you realise your life has no meaning, that you will be forgotten and nothing you ever did will be remembered. Then you know its all pointless and its hard to feel any reasons for being alive. The fights made them all feel alive at least for a few minutes
