      "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.

    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.

    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.

      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".

    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".

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.

    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.

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.

    Small little tidbit: when Norton shows his bloody teeth during the business meeting, that wasn't planned.

    Some other hints about Tyler’s true nature:
    •There’s a promotional video on a hotel tv with a group of hotel employees saying welcome. The one in the middle is Tyler.
    •When Lou punches Tyler, you can see Jack lower his head as if he felt it
    •When Jack beats himself, he says he was reminded of his first fight with Tyler.
    •And when they crash and the car is flipped upside down, Tyler comes out of the passenger side and pulls Jack out of the driver side
