I didn't disregard it at all. While it in no way made me realize what was actually going on, I found it really strange he'd just repeat what tyler said as if the doctor didn't just hear Tyler say it. Thought that would've/should've raised some red flags, but it didn't.
Didn't disregard it at all. It was subtle but we still doubt what the twist was. And our doubts were true. I was like, “i don't fucking know who is this guy's name” when he was about to reveal who Tyler Durden was.
When I saw the first few blips of Tyler I knew he was a figment of his imagination and all of those small details confirmed it more and more throughout the film
Still one of the best movies of all time imo... Thought provoking, relevant, unapologetic, and eye opening are just the tip of the iceberg about this gem
This movie is about an asshole with a office job, living in a nice apartment who likes to buy things; but he’s also a lunatic with a split personality of an anarcho-terrorist. Men embracing this movie and finding it thought provoking are blackpilled losers who’d rather burn down society than be a real man and endure suffering, love Jesus Christ and start families, or protect the families of others.
You missed the biggest hint of all, as did I during my first viewing. As the narrator beats himself up in front of his boss, he says, "Somehow I was reminded of my first fight with Tyler." I about died when I watched that scene for the second time.
There's also the part in the phone booth where the narrator calls Tyler Durden for the first time and the one on the phone asks "Who is this?" To which the narrator replies "Tyler". Obviously in the scene it's set up to seem like the narrator is asking if it's Tyler that he's speaking to but I find it to be pretty blatant hint with how they worded the exchange.
The scene where I realized Tyler wasn't real was when he was downstairs "working", Marla and the narrator ae upstairs. Narrator asks if Marla can hear the noise, she says no. Later in the scene, Tyler, at the bottom of the stairs says "this conversation..." and the narrator finishes his sentence with "is over." as he shuts the door. Wasn't absolutely sure until the very end, but it was basically a dead giveaway
Tyler was telling him what to say from the bottom of the stairs. Same in the doctor. The narrator wasn’t finishing the sentence, rather acting as Tyler’s “puppet”!
One of the takeaways for me was that one’s ego can help propel them but it literally gets to the point where you have to physically kill it to move on.
It's 2024 and this movie is still fresh, as it was made today. Since the loneliness and suffering of many and many men are spreading through social media.
Noooo, you tricked me into binge watching your videos my whole evening yesterday and now you come up with this, just when i was planning to do something more productive. How dare you ... have to watch .... cant resist, arghhhhh
The car that the man brought from the airport was the same type of car being examined earlier in the film after the fire. I think that was intentional.
The thing i always thought was the craziest part is that "jack" would fight twice a night. Once as tyler and then once as jack. No wonder they followed him, they thought he was the toghest SOB ever
I'm obsessed with this movie 🤩 One of my favorite fan theories is Cameron from Ferris Buehler's Day Off is the Narrator when he was young. Cameron was the only one who was home sick and he fantasized what a day off from school would be like for Ferris. In Fight Club everyone involved in Project mayhem including Marla are all in his mind. Just some fun to think about if one were so inclined.
@@jooliagoolia9959 ??😭 it’s not that deep she’s real. they literally get married in the sequel. also if she wasn’t real how does the space monkeys sees her and touch her? or even at the support groups ? people acknowledge her and the narrator at the same time not just one of them.
If you look really good you can see that his boss calls him tyler at 39:14 in the movie but he got muted bc tyler said after fighting everything in your life got the volume turned down
I saw this movie in the theater. Not because I knew anything about it or how good it was. I actually had no clue what this was but my friend wanted to see it and I was the only person that said yes. I’m so glad I did. Chris (Judo) wherever you are in life today I hope you are doing great brother.
Jared Leto had been acting since at least 1992 and Fight Club came out in 1999, kinda hard to call that "relatively new" He was even in a popular TV show as a recurring character back in 1994 for 19 episodes.
Enjoyable! I just finished the book and enjoyed it very much, so I appreciated the comparisons. Thanks for your entertaining content from one of your new subscribers.
I remember a fight club sprang up in my high school after this movie. It was hilarious because it was mostly guys who've never been in a fight or trained so they were piss poor grapplers and seldom did much damage.
In the movie, it seems that after the narrator shoots himself, he becomes Tyler and accepts the destruction of the banks as a new beginning. I think by shooting himself, the narrator was killed and Tyler took over.🙂
Agreeing with the acceptance part. To me, it seems these two opposite characters melt. Two extremes become balanced. With Tylers "activism" having the upper hand, or at least will have to be dealt with in some way. Love that movie.
@@Yggramuhl This is a trope in fiction. A man bifurcates his nature, with the "alter ego" he creates normally being a side of himself that had appeared to be more suppressed in him than in the average man. He soon discovers how dangerous this is. If he is able to reunite his selves he will be wiser and stronger than ever, after his experiences; but if he cannot disaster will ensue. Fight Club's is a very original take on this. I, and most people I think, had taken the Narrator's defeat/reconciliation with Tyler to be more happy and hopeful than not. It's clear that Palahniuk made Tyler an exceedingly well-balanced villain, whose madness was built around some cogent and important truths, so perhaps in the movie ending the Narrator would have been able to take mostly the meritorious, the wisdom, from him and his experience. It's clearly the tonally most straightforward reading of the ending. It is interesting to note that, even if you consider the Narrator's reconciliation to be mostly a defeat for Tyler, which again I don't see much hint otherwise after he crumples to the floor, the "happy, Hollywood" ending is actually far more socially subversive than the "darker, original" ending--hence the red Chinese restoring the original. It would be *exceeding* rare to see that in the case when the happiness is that of a protagonist who has just defeated the villain--which is another reason I favor that way to read the ending.
You said that in the movie before the plote twist there was alot of hints this right But there is a hint I saw it and didn't see any one knows it When he goes to fight his boss he said" for some reason this reminds me with my fight with Tyler durden " because he was fighting himself not anyone
Fight club is the boom. Still my favorite line in that movie the ability to let that which ultimately does not matter truly and utterly slide. Another words don't sweat the small s*** if it doesn't bother you or matter after you walk away let it be and it's gone. I've use that for work I say it almost everyday after work and my stress goes.
if you read fight club 2, the ending with the clue seems to make the most sense if you wanna compare them. idk what the author was doing with the graphic novels
There's a fan theory that the narrator has testicular cancer, and Tyler is the masculine side, and Marla is the feminine side. Well worth a read/watch if you're a fan, and better yet, extremely plausible.
More than plausible. If, as this video also points out, Paper Street can't be a real place, then Marla, or any one else that comes to that house, can't be a real person either.
Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012.
@@JJones0710 In china, the government changed the ending so that it said "Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012." This sparked a bunch of controversy and debate about censorship in china or smth.
Russel Crowe's role in Virtuosity let him play a Tyler Durden type and cut loose. He and Denzel really had some great chemistry in that. Fun movie but the effects are pretty dated.
I love how Tyler Durden tells Jack false information about making bombs. Tyler is (in the real world) called a tulpa, an imaginary being in your head that acts independently, like an imaginary friend except they are fully in control of themselves and you take not part in speaking for them. (Eventually you can even begin to see and touch them like Tyler) I love this detail because of course a voice in your head would tell you false details, because if Jack didn’t already know them, then how could Tyler?
One other hint for the twist is that we never find out the protagonist's name. Have you ever seen another movie where do not learn the protagonist's name within the first minutes?
I’m not gonna lie I thought that they were the same person in the plane scene and as the movie went on, I was like 100% sure I was right since there were also some scenes where he would just clip in like the scene at the doctors place and it was also weird. Nobody mentioned his name or mentioned that he was there.
Tyler is a stepping stone a state of mind used to escape stagnation and wake up but hopefully you get off the path of survival mode before it goes to far you control it not it controls you thats why he says you dont even have the gun i do he has the power to stop it so he does " Tyler i want you to really listen to me , my eyes are open "
One more crazy fact no one knows: I used to live in the Promenade Towers, where that scene from Fight Club was filmed - the one where the apartment explodes due to a "gas leak." The wild part? The real disaster was a fire caused by a meth lab in the same apartment. When the firefighters and sprinklers tackled the fire, they unknowingly spread meth-contaminated water from the 16th floor down to the 6th. By the time they realized the water was toxic, it was too late, and they evacuated around 10-20 apartments for a month. I snapped photos of meth in plastic bags on the stairway the night of the accident, initially mistaking them for ice. Days later, management sent out a notice about evacuating due to "illegal methamphetamine activities."
The main hint for me is tyler flashing randomly on camera/screen at random times but i realized that its only when he has insomnia and it also refferenced the scene where he worked at the cinema
9:30 "...he probably would've never done Gladiator since both films were shot at basically the same time." **proceeds to show two date ranges that DO NOT overlap**
another fun fact the first rule of fight club is to never talk about fight club however it is also said that rules are meant to be broken that is how so many people joined the fight club
"Sometimes Tyler spoke for me." - one of the clever hints throughout the movie and you totally disregard it the first time.
I didn't disregard it at all. While it in no way made me realize what was actually going on, I found it really strange he'd just repeat what tyler said as if the doctor didn't just hear Tyler say it. Thought that would've/should've raised some red flags, but it didn't.

It's 2023 and this movie is still fresh af
It’s even more relevant now imo.
Getting fresher day by day
Idk what you talking about
@@jg41709I first watched it.... Wait when did this originally came out?!😂😂😂 I guess I'm old 😂
fr
David Fincher is savage for changing Marla's line to something arguably worse and refusing to change it back lol
David Fincher is a legend 😂
"I know this because Tyler knows this."
Ah yes, a great giveaway.
Edward Norton is such an iconic actor he deserved the oscar for his role in this movie.
Yess! Finally someone said my words❤
He is one of the few you can't imitate. His twitchiness, carry of voice and delivery of lines
Another hint: In the beginning he tells the doctor he falls asleep and wakes up in strange places...
Fight club is literally one of the greatest films of all it is a 100% absolute masterpiece in art Cinema
Realest
That pay difference between Norton and Pitt is so bizarre but their star powers were different back then I guess.
The scene where I realized Tyler wasn't real was when he was downstairs "working", Marla and the narrator ae upstairs. Narrator asks if Marla can hear the noise, she says no. Later in the scene, Tyler, at the bottom of the stairs says "this conversation..." and the narrator finishes his sentence with "is over." as he shuts the door.

His first film was 1995…so, yeah…he was pretty new.
He was talking about the band
" Doesnt have a single redeeming quality " ... wow, i have no words how someone could possibly say that
Its 2023 and this is still the best movie I've ever seen.....
You just gotta love everything with Brad in it
A gem for the ages. Great vid.
Insane video dude. Awesome work!
2:20 David Fincher is a madman for this
I just saw this movie for the first time this year. Best movie ever… I wish they made movies like this nowadays. Such great writing…

*Chuck Palahniuk* 💀
His name is Robert paulson
Ive seen the movie 100 times and i will watch it 200 times more
Takes place in Wilmington Delaware. I’m from Penns grove, Nj (mentioned in film)
Russel Crowe's role in Virtuosity let him play a Tyler Durden type and cut loose. He and Denzel really had some great chemistry in that. Fun movie but the effects are pretty dated.
When seeing the short clip of him interrogating Adam Brody I realized he also straps Brody to a chair and interrogates him in Mr and Mrs Smith :D
It would’ve been cooler if they had Jack in the reflection instead of leaving it empty
It's 2024.. and the film still kicks ass (as does the book, more so)
Finding out Rosie was so opposed, I like it even more.
Jared Leto, an actor and a rockstar at the highest level? Are you sure about that?
One of the top best movies of all time. And yes, Trump was right about Rosie.
Need to re-watch Fight Club again

I knew about 1min before they revealed it. As he's flying across the country and one of the guys says, "I wish I could help you. Sir!"
Leto had been acting for years before Fight Club

We all knew why they smacked the bug. But why did Tyler say, “Leave it” when they passed the other car?
Still the best and most well written of all time
I love Fight Club & this was well interesting 👍
That was awesome, thank you!
That alley still with the snow? Where is that from? Because WrestlingBios uses it in his Reliving The War series.
Imagine if we had Sean Penn as the narrator. I could only see Specoli beating the shit out of Jared Leto.
This movie feels brand new and like a classic at the same time
It’s amazing
Mind was blown when you find out the narrators real name is Tyler durden and Marla singer is also his other personality
Rule #1 about Fight Club, it's not what you think. That's how someone got me to watch it. Thank you.

Wild ! 🤔😨😁👍
The late 90s movie's are always the best
2024 and still... hands down my favorite movie!
Making 15 more million is crazy
They should of both made the same.
the big guy that pushes his way thru on the city bus is in the next fight scene, Tyler is punching him in the balls
I think he was punching his leg.
Excellent movie. Definitely in my top 5.
The first fact of the Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club
The main hint for me is tyler flashing randomly on camera/screen at random times but i realized that its only when he has insomnia and it also refferenced the scene where he worked at the cinema
9:30 "...he probably would've never done Gladiator since both films were shot at basically the same time."
**proceeds to show two date ranges that DO NOT overlap**
It's 2024 and this movie is sitll fresh af
i cant even lie when i watched the movie for the first time i cried when bob died
Fight Club is about being in the Spirit.
All pay phones said “no incoming calls” but if you had a pager, you knew that wasn’t true.
This movie is a masterpiece.
Anyone please say whether he died in the climax by shooting himself?
another fun fact the first rule of fight club is to never talk about fight club however it is also said that rules are meant to be broken that is how so many people joined the fight club
About number 16: So in the end Edward Norton made 20 million USD?
did u enjoy watching fight club?
yes, I enjoyed it
Me, too. I hope I can rewatch it with you
Maybe tomorrow?
okay, see you at 6pm
Tyler moment
A Massive Hint was that Edward Norton,was never Called by his Name.
