45:15 "why did nobody warn me that this movie was gonna be like that !?"
The first rule of fight club is, you do not talk about fight club
The second rule of fight club is, you DO NOT talked about fight club.
@@davydteather6822 Re watch, and you will understand "the whole point of rules of fight club is to brake them all"
@@davydteather6822Third rule of fight club someone yells stop goes limb taps out the fight is over
@@kyleggmonforth rule of fight club - only two guys to a fight
@@topsecret748 5th rule one fight at a time fellas
45:16 No one warned you because of the first two rules. It was actually brilliant, even the trailer lists the rules so audiences knew when they walked out of the theater to keep the twist secret. The two taglines of 1999 were "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself" and "The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club."
When I started training a lot of Jiu jitsu and MMA I was always bruised up. At least once a week some would quote fight club to me.
Warning someone before watching Fight Club would be one of the worst things you could do to a person. Robbing them of the experience is something you can never get back. They must be allowed to find out on their own. And rewatch it again for the second experience of looking for all the signs.
And “I see dead people, all the tiimme”.
1999 will forever be remembered as the absolute peak of Hollywood. Now look at it...
Also from 1999
You can't forget.." This one time and band camp" American pie.
And " I don't won't your liife!"
Varsity blues.
...." Do I make you horny baby?" Austin powers
..."I believe you have my stapler" office space
When you rewatch Fight Club, pay special attention to the scene in the car with the two Project Mayhem guys in the back seat when Tyler is about to crash the car. Why? The DIALOGUE has to work on THREE LEVELS:
1.Tyler's words have to make sense to Ed Norton, as the listener
2.Tyler's words have to make sense to the audience, as the listener
3.Tyler's words have to make sense to the guys in the back seat, because they're listening to Tyler AND Ed Norton having a conversation in the front seat but to them it has to sound like ONE man giving a lecture.
Ex: "Why wasnt I notified about project mayhem? You decide your own level of involvement. You need to forget about what you know about Fight Club, Marla, and especially what you know about you and me."
From the back seat, it seems like RHETORICAL questions not a dialogue between two people.
In the same scene, after they crash, Tyler pulls Norton from the DRIVER SEAT, not the passenger seat. It’s not immediately noticeable because the car is upside down, but it’s a nice piece of foreshadowing.
@@nthdgree5078 That was the scene that gave away the twist for me. The other clues were so blatant, I just assumed they were red herrings, because I'd heard there was a good twist. I really think there are 3 blatant giveaways that need to be removed, and which I've cut out from my personal copy: The scene in the airport, where the camera pans to Tyler after the narrator says, "Could you wake up as a different person?", the scene where the narrator is getting stitches and Tyler tells him to say he fell down some stairs, and the scene where tyler is in the basement as the Narrator is talking to Marla. The scene where they are in different seats after the crash, is fine. It's a clue you notice if you're paying attention, but you might just assume is a continuity error.
The more blatant giveaways add nothing. I guess they weren't really planning on the twist being an important part of the movie. Or maybe they were just being cheeky and wanted to make people who didn't figure it out, feel extra stupid on their second viewing.
@@ashscott6068so let me get this right… you have a ‘personal’ copy of Fight Club in which you have cut out 3 scenes… so when you watch it back they don’t ruin the plot twist for you?
Or do you show your edited copy to people who’ve seen the film already so they can judge whether your edit is better or not?
Or do you show it to people who haven’t seen the film telling them they should watch your edit because it’s better than the version the guy, who is one of the elite film makers of his generation, made?
Excellent. Its top notch writing for sure.
Did anyone else notice the Easter Egg in that crash? Notice that Tyler Durden (while supposedly wearing a his seat belt) is the only one in the crash that is depicted being thrown around the car? Everyone else is pictured with their belt on, but when Tyler is shown, he's always being thrown somewhere. Another clue he isn't real for first time watchers.
@@TheHappyBachelor ooh. good point. I'll look for that on next (reaction) watch
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 am Jack's ..............
Like when Tyler pulls Edward Norton out of the driver’s side of the upside down car after the crash.
@@robertmckenna3994like the very first scene where he says “I know this, because Tyler knows this”… 😜

It's been in my top 5 favorite films since I was like 12. I've probably seen its 30 times in my life and I'm now 31. My friend Tyler has prolly watched it 60 times tho.
Fight Club is a cinematic masterpiece. Outstanding directing by David Fincher and the performances by Pitt and Norton were amazing. And yes, the twist is still one of the best ever.
And for that, credit goes to Chuck Palahniuk, who wrote the story the film is based on. The mindfuck twist was all him
100% agree. @@krash2fast99
@@krash2fast99 The adaptation was very faithfull to the novel
@@krash2fast99you are wrong. In the novel it said in the beginning that he is insomniac an and it is hinted that has a personality disorder. A movie twist is just dumped at you in the book. It was so disappointing to read it.
@@milosuherka4965 Not directly. I'm guessing you read the book after you watched the movie, which ruins it with the knowledge you already have.
I count "Fight Club" and "The Matrix" as two late 1990s movies that would inform how those going into the 21st century would think about their environments. When these movies came out I was already out of high school and going out into the world. People kept talking about the new millennium. "The Matrix" asked, What is real? "Fight Club" asked, What am I? Both questions are continually asked by many people nowadays when we're certain that we stand to inherit an ecologically damaged wasteland or a socially repressed dystopia. "Fight Club" felt too nihilistic for its time but eventually it is being hailed as a modern classic, as it should.
i always have to laugh at Tyler's line about "we have no great war, we have no Great Depression" considering this came out in 1999 and within 3 years, the US would be in two wars that lasted two decades, cost $20-30 trillion, and cost half a billion civilians their lives, and then went through the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression 7 years later.
I completely agree. Fight Club and The Matrix were the first movies of the new millennium.
@@Bitterkind No, but that's because it's the dominant system in the West. It should be criticized, just as great writers in Eastern Europe criticized communism and the resulting totalitarianism. There are no good systems. Only trade-offs and attempts to balance them all.
@@nothingmusic42 the wars would be because of 9/11, Fight Club predicted the future with its ending 🫢
Fun fact: Helena Bonham Carter is British and their school system hierarchy is a bit different than ours. In the scene where she says, "I haven't been fucked like that since Grade School", she didn't understand the context. She thought it was more like later High School or a college thing. Later, after the movie came out it was explained what grade school meant and she was absolutely mortified.
Whish is "funny" on another level when you hear that she had told Fincher she didn't want to be known for saying something depraved because the original line was "I wanna have your abortion."
Fun fact that line was actually meant to be " i want to have your abortion"
The original line in the script and book is “I want to have your abortion “ - they changed it to be less offensive 😂
It's been nearly 25yrs since this came out and it STILL cracks me up that "Bob" is the singer Meatloaf. Just because of the simple fact that Meatloaf is actually a far better actor than I would have given him credit for, despite the fact that I know that before his musical career that he was doing stage performances and musicals in short-run "off Broadway" plays. Meaning that at ONE point, Meatloaf was actually following a more traditional "acting career" than "musical career". Yet, those "acting days" were kind of forgotten about, so to see him playing such a memorable character so effortlessly was amazing.
RiP 💔😢
Meatloaf was perfectly cast for this he just has that special something to connect with.
He had been acting for years. Some musicals (Hair, Rocky Horror), but he'd also been in some decent dramas too. The year before this he had a great role as Red in the film Black Dog.
@@jasonremy1627he also was great in Formula 51.
Not once. Not twice. Several times... You almost made me spit out my coffee on my computer screen with your reactions to the movie! Yes, this movie is CRAZY. But it wasn't popular immediately. It was a cult classic. It took YEARS for people to appreciate it. Now, FINALLY, people get it.
Fantastic movie!
I don’t know if people really get it. They might like the movie and think they get it, but they just don’t get it. What do you think the movie is about?
@@MarcosElMalo2 Exactly, the overwhelming majority of people who like this movie are completely missing the point of it. It IS a great movie, and it's one of many great books by Chuck Palahniuk, but the point of it is not "Tyler is cool and his philosophy makes sense" lol. The irony is that it's a story that viciously satirizes toxic masculinity, but it's ended up supporting the exact attitudes it set out to mock because the satire flew right over the heads of so many people.
Of course, more people might understand it better if they understood that Palahniuk wrote it as a young gay man who was born and raised in one of the most liberal cities in the country.
It's been nothing short of pure entertainment, watchin you react to this masterpiece. You were hooked up from the very start, not just by the characters but also by the clever dialogue lines, the premise, all of it.
Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, they all have insane chemistry together and it shows throughout the whole movie.
One of the things that makes this movie so unique is just how unapologetic it is. The narrator (Edward Norton's character) shows us from the very start how hollow he feels inside, how he uses support groups to feel something. His alter ego, Tyler Durden, and Marla are just as "bad", making not excuse for their behaviour, just being themselves in a world full of people that hide for a living.
The plot twists, all forshadowed by little signs left here and there, blow your mind away and upon a second watch, they'll just draw you to the movie that much more.
Thank you for the incredible reaction, it's been really satisfying watchin you react to this masterpiece ❤
Can't believe you were shocked...isn't that your typical life MM? Heh
All the flashes you saw earlier in the movie, before Jack (The Narrator) meets Tyler on the plane, those flashes are of Tyler.
You see Tyler himself flash into existence for one frame and then disappear again multiple times in multiple scenes.
And then it stops happening once Tyler becomes "real".
I count 4 flashes and two “in person” appearances before they end up sitting together on the plane, meaning that when they finally talk, it’s Tyler’s seventh appearance onscreen. A nod to Brad Pitt and David Fincher’ previous collaboration there!
The DVD menu had a bunch too.
Everytime I managed to make a new friend, I always think about re-watching Fight Club with them
For years I said 'I don't want to see some film about a bunch of guys beating each other up and playing with soap',
and people would say 'No really it's good. You'll love it. It's your kind of film.'
I would say, 'No it's not!'
And they would say 'No really'.
Eventually someone said, 'It's not about that.'
I asked what it WAS about and he said: 'The first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club.'
I finally watched it after realising who directed it. But serious props to everyone for not spoiling it. It's like the anti-Empire Strikes Back.
don't judge a book by its cover dawg
Imagine being those two guys in the car, watching your cult leader argue with himself before driving straight into a parked car.
Fun fact about this scene 12:02: This wasn’t in the script, Ed Norton actually hit Brad Pitt in the ear, and his reaction to it was genuine. David Fincher encouraged Ed Norton to improvise in that scene to make it more thrilling.
What's so fun about that? There's always at least one of you!
cool fact! kind of makes the acting in the scene make more sense, thanks !
@@DontrelleRoosevelt And there's always at least one of you, bitching for no reasons.
@@DontrelleRooseveltpleasurable information rolled of the tongue due to using the F F.
this movie spoke to us young gen-x guys when it came out. there's a lot of appeal to some of tyler's ideas.. anti-materialism, rejection of mainstream thinking and standards.. skepticism toward authority. the more destructive elements though of this mentality are highlighted as the movie goes on. letting go and "hitting rock bottom" can be good if it's done in pursuit of truth and improvement. but the pitfall is that you take on that "it's cool to be a loser and a rebel" idea as your identity which ultimately leads to only to self-destruction (and harm to others). This movie is special imo because of it's unflinching scrutiny of society and it's interesting to me to see it resonate so much with younger generations. interestingly millennials don't seem to connect with it as much as gen-z does i've found.
Absolutely, one of the best societal critiques out there. Fincher even came out recently saying how he was surprised so many misunderstood what the film was trying to say. He was critiquing the violent self-destructive mindset of the Narrator and the individuals in the film. Tyler was never meant to be an aspirational figure he represented the toxic aspects of the Narrators depressed psyche. But people thought his words were supposed to be taken literally and started fight clubs. The film was literally showing how juvenile the need for violence was lol
On par with hearing “Dogma” by KMFDM as far as generational identification. (Google the lyrics, kids, if you wanna understand Gen X).
“You are not your khakis” is right up there.
(Edit: unfucking autocorrect)
Millennial here, saw this when I was 18 in 1999. Connected with it just fine.
Millennial here: We see it as a underground, men's only club that meets after dark. Then turns into a cult followed by a militia.
We always do the obvious surface digs (Sorry) because of how much we heard this movie was a masterpiece. And the movie gets worst because Gen-X is supposed to be running this country now, and it seems the country is getting worse by the day.
@@moviemetalhead Same for me, but we are the older millennials, so he may still have a point.
You should do a 'Second Time Reaction' to this movie - it's like watching a complete different movie the second time around.
This is one of the best movies of the 20th century but I think still deserves to be considered into this century too. It's incredible how well this movie has survived the test of time, 24 years and counting, glad you watched it. Hugs for you girls
Good movies don't fade the test test of time, they surpass it.
@@happyapple4269 Agreed!
All the hints that Narrator and Tyler are the same person:
-''I know because Tyler knows.''
-Four flashes of Tyler, during one of which the words 'your life is a copy' are spoken.
-''Could you wake up as a different person?'' Just as Tyler is passing by.
-Having the same briefcase (Also, isn't it a bit unusual to meet a passenger just as you've woken up and then have him leave?)
-''No incoming calls'' on the payphone.
-Bob enamored with Tyler, then thanking the Narrator profusely after fighting him.
-You'd think the hospital would be just a bit more suspicious if an injured person was parroting the exact words his friend was saying.
-The glances he's receiving from other fighters, like he's extremely important, even though he acts like Tyler's sidekick.
-''I knew the story before he told it'' of how he met Marla, also having visions of having sex with Marla in the first place.
-Marla telling the Narrator ''I could hardly believe anything about last night'' in an extremely complimentary way, then being genuinely hurt when the Narrator says ''What are you doing here, this is my house?'' like he is kicking her out after sex.
-''Who are you talking to?'' when Tyler offers the Narrator the chance to finish Marla off.
-Narrator exiting out of the driver's side during the crash, and also the two cultists in the back being freaked out about the whole conversation (because the Narrator is talking to himself.)
-Narrator thinking of Tyler asks Marla why does she have the need to latch onto someone stronger, Marla flips the script on him (thinking the Narrator is talking about himself), then Narrator indirectly mentions Tyler (that with him it's different) and Marla is confused who is he talking about? Narrator somehow hears Tyler whispering from the bottom of the stairs and shuts the conversation down.
-Project Mayhem members confused why the Narrator isn't celebrating the vandalism when he's the one who ordered it.
-''Tyler isn't here!'' The last straw for Marla.
-Everywhere the Narrator goes as he's looking for Tyler, he has the feeling he's already been there.
I love seeing reactions to this one. How to even say it? Fight Club is incomparable as a film and stands alone. It is not just "another movie of a type" rather it just is uniquely Fight Club and nothing else is comparable.
At the end, when Ed Norton says: "You met me at a very strange time in my life." You can hear both his _and_ Brad Pitt's voices. It shows that the "Tyler Durden" personality has reintegrated into the Narrator's mind.
That’s the narrator talking not Tyler’s (brad Pitt)
@@Chasejones2004 If you listen carefully, you can hear both of their voices mixed together.
Everyone has their own Tyler
Like the c*ck frame in the final scene, there are several times where Tyler appears in the same way in the film (a simple frame of him), before he and the Narrator meet on the plane for the first time. In your video we can see one of them, when he talks to the doctor and he tells him "that's pain."
He also appears, but more clearly, while the Narrator is in his hotel room, mindlessly observing his semi-conscious state, there is a video of a group of waiters saying "Welcome!" and if you look closely, Tyler is on the far right.
Some of the fake names the Narrator uses in self-help groups are taken from Planet of the Apes (Cornelius), The King of Comedy (Rupert), and Taxi Driver (Travis).
When Lou sees the fight club members in his basement, he punches Tyler in the stomach. At the moment of the blow, the narrator is seen to shrink a little, as if he too was hit. Moments later, Lou kicks Tyler in the head, and the narrator's head also accompanies the movement.
When Tyler and the narrator hit the first car with the baseball bats, Tyler hits first. But the alarm doesn't sound until the narrator hits the car.
When the accident (Tyler was driving) Tyler pulls the narrator out of the driver's seat.
When Tyler calls the narrator back to the phone booth, the camera pans and we can see a sign to the left of the phone. It says: "No incoming calls allowed."
There is a "cameo" that goes unnoticed: Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor doesn't show his face but the fog that surrounds the Narrator when he sees the gliding penguin is actually the stolen and magnified icy breath that DiCaprio lets out at the end of "Titanic".
And there are many more curiosities like these in the film.
33:16 In fact there is him talking to his future if he followed Tyler Durden's philosophy, note that only he has that mark on his hand, the narrator reflects that if he continues like that he will end up an old man full of scars with injuries that disables him and working in a bar which is the only place he has any kind of respect, but all destroyed. Also note that when he arrives there is actually no one there, the bar is closed with the chairs on the tables but immediately when he turns around he finds his prospect for the future, then it drops his record of what he is doing with his life. THAT WILL BE HIS FUTURE IF HE CONTINUES LIKE THAT, '' You are mr durden , the one that give me this" as like you are the past that i choose , the one that put me in this position.
Ive never thought of that. I think you may be right but I think he sees his future because in a sense he is already living it. I think Tyler is the real personality and the narrator is just one of at least 4 personalities. Often with DID, which is what I suspect Tyler suffers from, the main personality will identify the other personalities with a description rather than name when introducing them, the bartender, the narrator, the girl. The bartender had a scar because Tyler had a scar. Just as the narrator had the scar Im willing to bet Marla did as well.
Just my opinion non of what I said comes from a proper education, just observation of the world around me, so it's mostly rubbish. Still I like to imagine all 4 are Tyler. He invented the narrator to work a day job that would give him access to plane tickets around the country. The narrator is the means to the ends. The narrator is straight laced not at all unpredictable. I dont know for sure, but I don't think people wake up one day in their late 30s and develope a personality as wild as Tyler and especially wake up with a personality like Tyler whom by the way not only has the plan, recruited people, but also knew how to get away with every crime he committed. No, it takes time to learn to be so crafty, it takes charisma to amass the numbers he had, and he had the confidence to pull it off. It was the narrator that got confused and thought he was the main. When the narrator went places he was recognized as Tyler. But like I said what do I know? To expound on my delusions of grandeur I think Im smarter than I am. I post pretentious comments, free of reason and logic, arrogant in my ignorance so deep that I am so unaware of that I don't realize its the first thing people notice about me, the ignorant one. Dont worry, Im nothing like Tyler Im a good person 😇
And so am I 😈
This film:
- shows what it FEELS like to have severe mental illness.
- shows the difference between a toxic submissive male (the Narrator), a toxic dominant male (Tyler Durden), and a healthy balanced male (Tyler Durden at the end as he holds Marla's hand)
- gave us the delicious irony of toxic males trying to make themselves feel special by telling themselves that they are not special while deriding "snowflakes" who think that everyone is special.
- gave us a beautifully succinct condemnation of consumerism: "Things you own end up owning you."
- put a spotlight on the toxic expectations society has on men.
- hinted at how few avenues men have to prove to themselves and others that they are men. (This is the REAL reason why Incels are so angry.)
- shows us a foolish plan to correct wealth inequality by destroying the debt record. Even if you do destroy the debt record, society is addicted to debt. Hours after destroying the current debt record, people would create a whole new debt record by lending/borrowing assets that everyone has on hand.
- gave us one of the best song choices to finish a film. ("Where Is My Mind" by the Pixies)
- gave us Helena Bonham Carter showing us that crazy can be incredibly sexy.
The film is obviously a societal satire on modern society's addiction to consumerism and a misguided belief that it is the key to happiness. While simultaneously deconstructing the often self-destructive insecurities of many modern men who feel the desperate need to prove their masculinity to essentially strangers and find meaning in their lives that they feel they don't have. All my problems are societies fault lets rebel! Like the movie was saying that is a juvenile and self-destructive take but so many people took it literally and even started fight clubs. The fact that you need beat someone up to feel alive again is not something a healthy person does.
@@gwell2118 I would add one caveat: It is a good idea to know HOW to fight. Getting into a fight is ALWAYS a failure; it means you have failed to find a way to resolve the problem. But there are times when there's nothing left for you to do but fail. And afterwards, there should be no elation or rejoicing. (This also applies to warfare.)
@@axebeard6085 I never said someone shouldn’t know how to defend themselves. What was presented in the film had nothing to do with that, it was a misguided need for violence and pointless rebellion. Wanting conflict just so you have an excuse to fight so you can feel tough and powerful is the epitome of juvenile aggression. Jet Li one of the best martial artists out there outright decried the idea of getting
Into fights meaninglessly, calling it stupid, dangerous and not what MA was about. They were to strengthen the body, mind and as a last resort option. And wisely pointed out many actual conflicts don’t end with fists, they end at the point of a knife or a gun so watch out. And for the sake of argument none of these fight clubs in the film was really teaching them anything, they were just pummelling each other. No best practices or real techniques. Anyone can do that I doubt any of them would know much more about SD afterward.
@@gwell2118 Sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound like a criticism. I should know better than to post before I've had my coffee...
@@axebeard6085 all good no worries.
Yeah I was waiting for the plot twist bomb. This is probably the greatest plot twist of all-time. This one and Sixth Sense both have all-time great plot twists.
This is one of those movies that didn't do well when first released but by word of mouth over the years has gained a cult following. Indeed it has one of the most surprising plot twists of the last few decades.
I saw it at the movies in London the day it released. Fucking brilliant movie.
@@aldunlop4622Amazingly, reviews for it were mixed. But it has stood the test of time as one of the all-time cult classics, especially as twist endings go.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I’ve never really been into reviews. I don’t see what makes their opinion any better than anyone else’s, plus I usually just disagree with them anyway. They said Gladiator was shit too, dumbasses.
Yes!! Your best reaction yet!! Such an amazing, mind-blowing movie in the same vein as V for Vendetta (best movie ever I think). Watching your mind get blown was so flippin’ fun🤣 you couldn’t believe the twists or extremes that the story took, which was the whole point from the writers. This was a crazy movie when it came out. Gotta watch The Game (same director?) next. Such an iconic movie and especially iconic role for both the main actors. New movies don’t measure up to these powerhouses. You can finally say you’ve seen this now!
Im glad no one told you this was a movie with a big twist, because you'd have seen it coming if you were looking for it.
"You saw that? You saw that the whole time?" Lol you ladies are hilarious. So many timeless gems from the 90s and early 2000s.
In the beginning when he picks up the ringing payphone and it’s Tyler calling him, you see “no incoming calls” on the payphone.
When you see it the second time, you'll notice all the hints they gave and you missed every one of them.
2:06 'a coffee table in the shape of a yin-yang' What's that on your shirt... :) 9:06
7:10 That is an understatement :) 7:25 "Are they like the same kind" :D 11:33 :)
14:25 That reaction :) 14:42 'I knew the story before he told me.' Yeah, he really did.
17:21 Lol! 33:00 'Everywhere I went I felt I'd already been there.'
33:24 34:02 What, what...?! :)
35:04 & 26:41'little devil'
I'm glad you guys liked the film as much as I always have. It's been in my top 5 favorite films since I was like 12. I've probably seen its 30 times in my life and I'm now 31. My friend Tyler has prolly watched it 60 times tho.😵💫
I hope his surname is not Durden
It's Nedrud@@itsCalamari
It’s also a top ten movie of all time for me.
Fun Fact: To prepare for the twist, Brad and Edward filmed every scene twice one scene with Brad as Tyler and the same scene with Edward as Tyler.
That sounds like Fun Bullshit. That’s not how movies are made. For one thing, it would have doubled an already long and arduous production schedule and doubled the production budget. For another thing, that’s not how scenes are shot (and I can assure you that there are very rarely two takes, especially from someone as precise as Fincher). Scenes are generally shot in several stages. First they shoot a wide shot, the master. Then they relight and do all the shots from one camera angle (all the medium and close up shots). Then they point the camera in the other direction, requiring another relight.
I could easily believe that they switched parts during table reads or rehearsals, but what you are suggesting is highly highly improbable.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Poser
If you liked this you should watch the show 'Mr. Robot'. It won several Emmys and was nominated for even more. IMHO the best show ever made.
Thank you all for finally reacting to my favorite film of all time. I agree with your title. This is the best movie ever! ❤
Great movie, You should watch The Game 1997 from the same director which is a movie you can not recreate the first time you see it. It is truly one of the best movies ever made. Also the The Illusionist (2006) with Edward Norton
The Game is sooooo good!
OH THAT MOVIE IS COMPLETELY THRILLING SO MUCH I PURCHASED THE FILM TO OWN!
Illusionist is a good movie they would love it
lmao, glad you both really enjoyed this this! Fight Club is one of my all time faves! I first watched this when I was a youngster.I was very young when I first saw this - like 10 or so. I went ahead and read the book when I was in high school - if you enjoyed this, PLEASE consider reading the book! I always support Chuck Palahniuk whenever I can. :) This book was amazing.
The entire cast was brilliant in this. Everybody from Tyler and Marla to Bob and Angel Face. Everybody was hilarious and very entertaining.
I can watch this movie over and over its that good one of my favorites. Brad and Ed Norton are amazing the dialogue and how the story is well written is insane
12:00 The director told Ed Norton to really punch Brad Pitt. That punch, and the subsequent reation to it, was real.
Something you might not know about us guys is that a lot of us had fight clubs growing up. Even before this book and movie. I was part of one long before this movie , or at least before I knew about or had seen this movie. And yeah some fighting groups are this hardcore while others are silly back yard wrestling stuff. What me and my friends did was real wrestling. Think MMA not WWF. Not as hardcore as depicted in the movie but a few of us (myself and 2 others) did punch and really let go sometimes. Me and this one guy were very much like Tyler and The Narrator. Randomly punching each other for fun.
Yeah really loved this movie when I saw it the first time. Great reactions as always. Laura the calm rational one and Magy freaking out
"Relatable!" Says Magy to the yin-yang coffe-table thing, as she unironically sits there wearing a yin/yang top...
There's a fan theory on the internet saying that "Marla" the woman he's fucking with, is also imaginary GF like Tyler. Go figure.
FYI The modern version of going to self-help-groups is react channels. We come here to see other people feel the same way we felt at things we really liked and often times crying at things that we think someone should cry about. So in a lot of ways... you guys are our modern day Bob.
But with smaller boobs...😈
And his name was Robert Paulson
Two attractive chicks watching Fight Club. am I dreaming fight bros?
“No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide.” Actually wise words.
I had this on DVD back in the day and would let it play as background noise while I did things, ironically including trying to make my apartment at the time look nicer. As criminally insane as Tyler is he has psychology of anti-materialism that hit home if you aren't overly materialistic and a fake persona yourself, so you end up conflicted throughout the film. Definitely a movie you can watch over and over and not get tired of for many reasons.
The more times you watch Fight Club the more you notice the clues, hints and quick edits that reveal the twists before the actual reveal.
This is one of the most quotable movies in history, full of deep and meaningful content that makes you question your life, society, the World and everything in it.
Awesome movie.
"I know because Tyler knows". Missed that foreshadowing about 40 times.

Everyone does.
45:20 The film was directed by David Fincher. His films are well known for this sort of quality. Most people walk away enamoured with them, so I highly recommend his other work. Maybe "Seven" next? "Zodiac" is great too.
Tyler's introduction discussion of "Oxygen gets you high" is actually TRUE.
HOWEVER, it has to be "PURE OXYGEN", which is not possible unless you are breathing it out of a tank, due to all the other elements (such as nitrogen) in the air around us. HOWEVER, it has to be breathed for several MINUTES before you feel the effects AND in a high enough dose to more or less infiltrate the entire bloodstream. (Flushing out all the already breathed oxygen in your system). This is why when they give you oxygen in a hospital, they make sure that they keep an eye on the mixture, time, or simply amount of "pure oxygen" that you get. In most cases, they give you just enough to "boost" the amount you breath in, but not enough to make you feel the effects that were discussed in the movie.
The lye advice is bad too, you are supposed to run it under cold water for a few minutes. The vinegar will make it worse but it was probably added for cinematic effect, and well he wanted pain.
33:54 "MIND BLOWN" "You met me at a really strange time in my life" Understatement....
"It's only when we've lost everything that we are free to do anything."
Brad was asked how he got so cut for the film.. His response? "Easy.. no CARBS.."
The are so many hints but they're so well done that on my first watch I didn't catch any of them. Rewatching it was so amazing. One that stands out to me is when Tyler is on the phone with the investigator looking into his apartment fire/explosion and other Tyler says "just tell him you did it" sarcastically. At first I just thought it was other Tyler taking the piss, but on the second watch I was like "holy shit it's because he actually did it."
Considering how much you loved the plot twists of Fight Club, it occurred to me that you would be equally mind-blown my the Korean film Old Boy (not the US remake, but the Korean version). It's also incredible. Oh, but something NOT subtitled and also along a similar vein as Fight Club (and also great) watch 12 Monkeys! It also has Brad Pitt in it.
best plot twist ever, and what I love is how it all makes sense from the very beginning and all the clues are there! Definitely one to rewatch!
7:38 don't believe everything you hear from this movie lol
His name is Robert Paulson...
Marla Singer was not real also, she was his third personality. If you check the scene where she passes near a hallway mirror she has no reflection
David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis.
Great reaction! I love that movie SO MUCH!! It's similar to the movie "The Matrix" when Neo wakes up in the pod. When we realize that the narrator (who we never know what his name is) and Tyler Durden are the same person - MIND BLOWN! Really make you think about life and reality. The movie has so many great quotes too "It's only when we've lost everything that we're free to do anything" and "The things you own end up owning you."
Bob was also professionally known as the singer Meatloaf.
Everyone liked "Fight Club" upon its release back in the day. I'm still liking it today. It was wicked cool to share a bit of it on this channel with you guys. Brad Pitt is a superb actor and as "Tyler Durden" puts in an outstanding performance, as does his counterpart in this flick, "Jack" played by Ed Norton. Both play off of Helena Bonham Carter, (Maria Singer), really well. What a picture. There are so many twists and turns that it keeps ya guessing all the way throughout. Thanks, guys for reacting to this great 1999 film. I think you are both funny as hell and I really do like your style. I cannot help but love your super sexy accents and can hardly wait to catch you girls on the next. Big shoutout from this old, longhaired, Southern boy in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. U.S.A. Much peace, love, and happiness. Bless you and yours. Go with God. Later.
The best thing about this movie is after you watch it, there is SO MUCH to talk about!
I've not only watched numerous reactions to this film, but I saw it on release at theaters and seen it many times, and I must say this was my favorite reaction of all. The book is a real rollercoaster and highly recommended, but this film is an iconic legend and just never gets old. Enjoy the later viewings, it's amazing how many new things you can pick out during rewatches.
Boob dude is Meatloaf, helluva rock singer with several great hits.
*"You met me at a very strange time in my life."*
Fight club is by far one of the best movies ever made. I have never seen such great acting. It is the type of movie that captivates you from the beginning to the end. And it's kind of beneficial in a way that it activates a part of your mind you never knew existed before. It makes you think about your role in this society that we live in.
Fight Club is the Barbie Movie for men
One of my very favorite plots of this movie that very few people seem to talk about is the blowing up of the credit card buildings and resetting the debt. Very similar to V for Vendetta in the idea of the small masses taking power back from the elite. Doesn't get enough conversation, IMO.
Because it’s a dumb fantasy.
To truly appreciate this movie, you have to watch it at least 3 times. 1st time is shocking and deep and dope you don't catch everything.
2nd time, I suggest paying attention to the music. It's incredible. The Dust Brothers killed it. And you'll know the twist and you pick up more stuff.
3'rd time...wait a while. Watch it in a month. You'll notice little shit like when Tyler is talking to homie at the door after he's been having sex with Marla, he's got yellow gloves on and he's fingering his bellybutton. 😯Or the yin-yang table he talks about is in the parking lot after his apartment blew up.
Those little things are all over the place!
Hey you guys! Loved the reaction to this one. Hard to not get chills experiencing this for the first time.
I wanted to lend some friendly assistance to help with your Magy-isms (although I think Laura said it this time). A mess is like spilling a drink; mess up is like making a mistake; to mess with someone is to tease or play tricks on them; to mess with someone’s head is to lie or mislead them to think that something is true when it isn’t. To mess around is to be playful instead of serious. English has so many different meanings for phrases it could take forever to learn all of them. You’re both great!
This movie is easily one of the best societal satires put to screen. It was a dead critique of the rampant consumer culture that had taken over by the end of the 20th century and how everyone was under the impression it would be the sole key to happiness along with slogging away in an unrewarding job just for the money. But even more so it was a scathing examination and critique of a lot men in modern society going through crisis of faith with confusion of their own masculinity and feelings of inadequacy. Like fincher was way ahead of his time in tackling the beginning of the mental health issues that men faced at the time: feeling of inadequacy and meaninglessness, feeling of failure, that they weren't a "real man". Like the whole point that these guys needed to beat each other up to feel happy was not supposed to be taken as healthy, if anything it was condemning how juvenile them and Tylers BS talks of revolution was. But so many missed the points of the film and took it too literally. Like these needs to feel like real men and needing to feel special in "rebelling" against society was self-destructive, not cool.
Yes, we start off with Tyler condemning material culture, which was and is very relatable, but it quickly becomes a case of “I hate and fear this world I live in, so instead of taking responsibility for improving my lot I’ll tear everything down and remake it in own image.” That anyone would mistake the movie for supporting that viewpoint is quite baffling!
@@Daveyboy100880 Yeah its the problem with even the best satires. A lot of people just don't have the media literacy to recognize satire from idolization. They just thought "Ah yeah Tyler suchs a friggin alpha dudebro!!" Ignoring that like 80-90% of everything he says is just pseudo -philosophic BS.
I wrote an essay on this (book) for one of my university courses.
Notice the part where he says he never sleeps, but then he say something like “You wake up here. You wake up there…”
Hinting at how he’s not getting sleep, he just keeps “waking up” from his time being Tyler Durden.
44:20-44:37: It was at this moment, Laura realized that curiosity killed the cat.
The biggest twist is realizing that there is only one person in this story.
It wasn't bipolar it was schizophrenia. There is an association between schizophrenia and insomnia. They don't have REM cycles when they sleep.
This film is incredible.
You have to see The Game, the previous film by this director David Fincher, also has a gripping plot and a twist ending that will blow your mind.
I'm so glad I managed to watch this back in the day before anybody spoiled it.
On a completely totally for sure unrelated note, Rosie O Donnel has a special circle of hell waiting for her.
Great reaction ladies!
For another fun reaction with Brad Pitt and the same director, watch Se7en 😊
And other David Fincher movies
Spoiler:
In this movie you need to put everything on the line to do something different. To make a massive change. In the end he shoots himself, risking his life without knowing if he can survive. He does this with the intent to get rid of Tyler. It's almost poetic that the way he broke out of his boring life was the way he set himself free from the psycho that is Tyler.
the payphone that the main character uses in the beginning has a sign that says "no incoming calls" so the fact that tyler called back is a hint that he doesn't really exist
It's a lot of fun rewwatching the movie and focus on the interactions with Marla, knowing what you now know.
Girls that plot twist may be in my top 3 best twists of all time! 😱
Fun fact:
David Fincher implies in the film that Marla is also a figment of Tyler's imagination.
Huh? I’m pretty sure Marla is real I don’t think she’s a figment, Marla represents a more vulnerable and damaged side of the Narrator. Marla's presence acts as a reminder of the emotional baggage and personal issues the Narrator is trying to escape through his association with Tyler.
Not only Marla. Just read books, boys and girls, it's even more complicated.
Or - even more simple.
The question is - how many "other real people" there are in the plot?
Or any?
The biggest twist of the movie is that Marla is also doesn't real.
The funniest part about this is the fact that there are STILL guys who hold up Tyler as the be-all-end-all of an "alpha male" because, like you both, they heard his words and thought he had great ideals about life. That is until you see Tyler for what he is; a cult leader. The movie, and the book even more so, is a satire on the susceptibility of people, especially men, in the late 70's-early 90's to fall into cults. Especially Jonestown and Waco. If you're such a good consumer, following the path even when it's been revealed to be meaningless, it should be easy to reprogram you. He makes a lot of sense, and a lot of guys THINK they'd be willing to drop everything and join Project Mayhem, because they think they'd be Tyler (though Tyler isn't real) but they don't understand that they see it from the eyes of a member. The slow initiation, the satirical platitudes, Tyler making you feel special, then he brands you as one of his own, you cut yourself off from life, from work, from family, you're no longer special, you're part of the machine, but it's ok because you just want to belong, just keep your head down, let Tyler do the planning; the thinking. Tyler isn't worried, so why should I? Even Chuck Palahniuk is shocked at how the "Alpha male" and especially incel communities have taken it to heart and missed the point entirely. Tyler works because he listens. You complain about losing your stuff? "It was just stuff." You hate your job? "You aren't your job." You think the whole world should burn? "Follow me and light the matches." "I am free in all the ways you wish you were."
"How romantic... I guess..." Great reaction video, thank you!
I mean it kind of was lol 😂
One of the things that makes a great movie is that each time you watch it you see more things. Fight Club is that kind of movie. This movie never gets old.
I remember when I first watched this movie. I rented it from Blockbuster with my dad when I was 12 or 13. It was my favorite movie during my entire teenager years.
**Spoilers**
Most people in the movie are actually just from Ed Norton's imagination. Tyler, Marla, Robert "Bob" Paulson, the bartender that tells him he's Tyler. It's pretty clear none of them actually exist.
If you pay close attention, everything about Bob is things he's seeing around him in other scenes. Marla calls someone "infectious human waste" after Brad Pitt and Ed Norton steal the fat and hide behind a bin that says "Infectious (human) waste" on it. Brad tells Ed that self-improvement is masturbation - now go back and look at what Ed is doing while Tyler and Marla are having sex. He's doing self-improvement.
And think about it, if people originally joined fight club because they saw Brad and Ed fighting in the parking lot, but Brad Pitt's character didn't exist, then why would they join a guy just beating himself up? His mind needed to create followers for Brad Pitt in order to make the illusion believable. If the first and second rules of fight club are you don't speak about fight club, then where are all these new members coming from? None of it makes sense.
And the guy at the bar that tells him he is Tyler, where did he come from? He has a broken neck and literally just a second ago, we see Ed Norton walk past the bar and no one is there. How could a guy with a broken neck be that fast and sneaky? It doesn't make any sense because it's not real.
The ending after Ed Norton shoots himself, at first he can barely speak but very quickly while talking to Marla, he suddenly seems completely fine and then they watch the city blow up together like nothing is happening .... because nothing is happening.
What's actually happening is Ed Norton's character has testicular cancer and is struggling to cope mentally. Brad Pitt's character represents his desire to keep his balls and be masculine, Marla represents his desire to just kinda give in and accept him losing his balls and Bob represents his fear, depression and anxiety over the whole situation. In the end, Brad Pitt dies AFTER Bob dies and he holds hands with Marla as the world as he knew it is destroyed. So after he loses his fear of the testicular cancer, he loses the need to keep his balls and be Uber-masculine and he just accepts his life without his testicles.
That is why the start of the movie is Brad Pitt with the gun in his mouth - it's his masculine mind first being confronted with the horrific news of the testicular cancer diagnosis. Then he mentions "it has something to do with Marla" - it's his mind realizing he might lose his testicles. And then the scene instantly cuts to him being hugged by a weeping Bob because he has anxiety, fear and depression over the whole situation.
From India girls common react to a real movie an south indian movie called KGF.
Everyone joined the club.
Even more of a twist is that she is also his imagination
Definitely watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet) too Maggie ;)
