"A woman could cut off your p*n*s and throw it out the window of a moving car..." is something that happened to a guy named John Bobbitt in the 90s. It was national news for months. I'm pretty sure that's what Chuck Palahniuk was referencing when he wrote the novel.

Tyler and the narrator is the same person. That's it. Getting bamboozled like that, really had you second guessing everything. Preetty entertaining. Unless it is all a dream, of course. Then he technically is everyone. The bullet went through the side of his face, but he really believed he was killing himself and Tyler. Since Tyler was in his mind, he was really killed by the act. Tyler can't control him anymore. His eyes are open.
@unidentifiedguy8253 10 ай бұрын

Unreliable narrator - first movie with unreliable narrators is the japanese classic, Rashomon. In that movie a narrator, caught in the rain with strangers under the devil’s gate (rashomon), tells the story of the trial he just watched: the murder of a samurai and rape of the samurai’s wife by a bandit. But who is telling the truth? And is the narrator telling the truth about who is telling the truth?

There is a popular theory that Marla also wasn't real, that she, too, was just another of the Narrator's personas. Like Tyler, she's very intense, painfully direct, extremely opinionated, and appeals stongly to the Narrator even while annoying him very much. Like Tyler, she is physically quite attractive in spite of having visibly poor hygiene. Also, in the final shot we see the Narrator and Marla from the back, standing side by side, and each one is wearing a black overcoat, below which we see each one's bare legs. This similarity could symbolize that the two are actually just one.
@christopherschreiber5805 10 ай бұрын
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q I think she's the visual representation of a brain or spinal tumor. She's always wearing black, always smoking like Tyler, and the first time she speaks, she walks up to the camera and asks "this is cancer, right?" The narrator says if he DID have a tumor, he would name it Marla. When she and the narrator are negotiating their group schedule in the laundromat, he says to her "you can't have the whole brain". Also, if he legitimately had DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder, or multiple personalities) when he shot himself, I don't see how he wouldn't still have it when he survived. You may also remember there's a period in the beginning of the movie where he's not sleeping, and he seems sort of confused, in which he jumps back twice before the narrative proceeds normally, as if it's an early warning sign. It's all speculation, of course, but this is a fun movie to do that with. You'll never watch it the same way bc you'll constantly be trying to figure out what's real. lol

“He said he could never sleep” Actually what he said was he can’t sleep and sometimes he NODS OFF AND WAKES UP IN STRANGE PLACES. All the clues were there throughout the entire movie that he had a split personality. When he “fought” his boss he said it reminded him of his first fight with Tyler…which we found out that he was just punching himself then as well. Even the flickers you saw in the beginning of the movie and asked what that was…it was Tyler Durdhen starting to appear in his personality…starting to be born and break through.

To me the most blatant clue is the narration "could you wake up as a different person" as the camera tracks Brad Pitt's character on the moving walkway, before we even meet or hear the name Tyler Durden. Somehow very few people mention that.

He did shoot himself, but the bullet went out the side, leaving the exit hole you see him staunching by the back of his jaw one the one side. He envisioned, though, that what he was doing was shooting straight through his skull out the back. Because Tyler is a figment of his imagination, how he imagined the bullet going is what happened to Tyler, so that's why we see the bullet hole coming out of the back of Tyler's head. At least that's what makes sense to me and what I've heard others say. I have not read the book. If it happened the same way in the book, perhaps someone that did read it has more info, but just scrolling down a few dozen comments, I'm not seeing any clear explanations (though I probably just missed them). Hope that helps.
@tileux 10 ай бұрын
Nope. The book is super unclear on this point. He could be dead, he could be in heaven, he could be in a psychiatric ward after that shot is fired. The reader just doesnt know. After the shot the final part of the book is deliberately unclear, but it seems most likely that he’s in a psychiatric ward. All we know is that its the imaginary tyler durden with the gun in ‘the protagonist’s’ mouth - imaginary Tyler durden’ is the one threatening the protagonist with the gun, which is the opposite to the movie. Imaginary Tyler durden does that until immediately before the very end - and the protagonist uses his tongue to push the barrel to the side of his cheek. The gun barrel also has holes drilled in it to make it into an improvised silent weapon, so in the book the fired bullet has less power. The who and why of that shot are unexplained, but in the book the protagonist says ‘i pulled the trigger’ but what he’s actually saying is ‘imaginary Tyler durden pulled the trigger’ - its the moment when the two finally merge, and the exact circumstances surrounding the protagonist and Tyler Durdendurden at that point are slightly different.
@joshuajackson472 10 ай бұрын
Yeah, what the other reply said. The book suggests that he's in a psych ward, but that some of the people that work there are from Project Mayhem, and his followers are waiting for him to "get better." There is also Fight Club 2, which came out as a comic book mini series. Things get real weird in that, so read at your own risk.
@cometgirl217 10 ай бұрын
I remember reading a theory about the ending being explained by “the Narrator” loosing a tooth [molar?] earlier in the film, while Tyler maintains his perfect “I look how you want to look” smile - so the bullet non-fatally passes through that gap in {Ed Norton’s} jaw, but ricochets off {Brad Pitt’s} tooth and into “his” brain. I’m not claiming this as truth, but it’s an interesting thought 😅

A smaller but highly entertaining Brad Pitt role is in True Romance. It's a great twist on a non-traditional romantic film, written by Quentin Tarantino. It really shows how Brad Pitt can embrace a role and make it his own, no matter how large or small. e: The "cutting off your penis while you sleep and throwing it out of a moving car" thing wasn't something we used to think about. But after that exact thing was done by Lorena Bobbitt to her husband John, it quickly entered the male collective consciousness. e: Celebrity? Sean Bean. He'd probably just keel over before the fight started. e: Grade school is primary education, from age 5 until 10 or 11.

The twist ending is really subtle. To “get it” you kind of have to be unsettled by some of the reactions from Marla and the members of Project Mayhem to the protagonist and that’s all the clues they give you. The protagonist thinks everything is 100% real until he knows it isn’t.

The 1st time I saw it I noticed the wrong person getting out of the driver's seat after the crash. I figured the movie just got it wrong. Little continuity stuff like that happens all the time in movies. Later on after all the buzz this got I realized every last little detail was definitely thought out. I remember questioning it in the beginning because he was thinking the way Tyler was acting. But then he regressed when Tyler got emboldened and the action ramps up and and the stakes get raised so you just go with it. The pacing was spot on. I'm not easy to fool usually, I think it's from comics. They train you to seek out the tropes and gotcha moments. The betrayal reveals and the double crosses. But this movie did get me and I loved it for that. Marla acting a certain way was an obvious red herring cause she was crazy herself. So when she seemed sane it didn't click until you rewatched. Definitely a movie that needs a rewatch when many movies with that in mind don't really need a rewatch, like 6th sense.

It's one thing to start with wanting to fight someone you dislike or hate when approaching Tyler's "who would you fight" question but it becomes more of an internal debate about what you yourself are willing to endure. I didn't think these guys had anything against Ghandi or even William Shatner personally other than what they might have represented in their lives at some point, a figure or a concept. This really is the true and fundamental basis for fight club's ideology. I always felt that most viewers, and most male viewers especially, missed that about this idea of guys getting together and punching each other. Mind you, in this world, competitive sports like boxing still exists, there's an outlet where winning and losing matters, a prize is won. It was a bunch of contemporary working class males trying to seek a path back to what they considered "masculine", not by what they can dish out but what they can take. If that's the case then a man might choose to receive such punishment only from someone or something he'd once held in an unattainable regard or status, even someone they have trouble loving, like an absentee father or their boss. There's a line in the novel where Chuck Palahniuk talks about fight club members no longer bothering to watch football or boxing or any other full-contact sport since joining a fight club, watching sports on TV when you had fight club was like watching XXX videos when you could be having great sex. There's quite a bit from the book that didn't make it into the film but that observation would have been interesting. After this movie came out, some of the guys around me jokingly suggested starting a fight club but they could only imagine taking on someone that they don't like. It's another thing fighting a best friend or a brother though. There's intimacy involved, brutal but intimate regardless. Like the crying sessions at those groups in the beginning. This led a lot of people over the years to start looking at "Fight Club" as having these homoerotic undercurrents buried under what amounts to nihilistic, toxic male behavior. A satire, a social commentary, but one that tends to get lost on some people, especially men of a certain impressionable age.

In the book it eludes strongly that Marla is also a figment of his imagination. Tyler being the Id, Marla.. kinda the super ego but more just the more feminin grounding element of his mentality and he well.. the ego. Aside from just the psychological depth of the film, it says SO much about society, specifically North American and the loss of masculenity. The rise of everything masculine being labled "toxic".. this was written WAY before woke culture became anywhere near as prominent as it is today. If anything, this story says more today then it did back when it was written.

With "My eyes are open" is telling Tyler that he is awake and conscious of his actions at that moment, taking control of the action...like shooting his head on a non-lethal way just to get rid of his existence on his subconscient side (that' when -and why- Tyler falls down with his head blown open).

So much to say about this movie... Short version... We never get the narrators name in film... he is listed as "Jack" in thr credits for the book series he mentions His multiple personality of "Tyler Durden" was a result of his insomnia The one frame flashes of "tyler" was him developing the tyler personality as well as a reference/reflection of the "single frames of 'pron' spliced into films" at the 'night' job... he was tyler in his insomnia hence 'night job' The fight in the bosses office reminded him of his first fight with tyler because he was fighting himself. In his insomnia he set up "fight clubs" across the country. "Jack" was on the phone with marla when "tyler" took over. These are just a few of the many tidbits about this movie.

(cough) not that I know anyone like *that* , of course. Actual conversation, at what was a very exciting event (arguably one of the best days of my life): THEY: What do you do? ME: I'm retired. (they look at me, as I am clearly younger than 65) ME (feeling a need to explain): Disability. Stress. (This is true.) THEY: Oh. (beat) What did you used to do?
@petercolson2990 10 ай бұрын
The Narrator or 'Jack' for convenience, suffers insomnia, and unconsciously creates the alter ego Tyler Durden, who spends his time working odd jobs while Jack is unable to sleep. Jack attends self-help meetings to experience emotional release so he can sleep (probably the same reason people watch Reaction videos to sad things, vicarious emotional release), and stops being Tyler because he's actually sleeping. Marlashows up, and her presence reminds Jack he's a faker at these self-help meetings, so he can't get that emotional release anymore, and reverts to suffering insomnia. Tyler comes back, and this time so strong that Jack 'meets' Tyler and starts letting that personality influence him and take over. Eventually Tyler starts becoming the dominant personality, taking the reins without 'Jack' being aware of what's going on, until he asks Marla about their relationship, and is forced to confront the fact that Tyler is his own invention, an alter ego he created to escape his soulless, alienated life, and create purpose for himself. Bob and Marla and all the rest are all real. But for them, 'Jack' IS Tyler Durden, he's simply a guy with massive mood swings. They don't know he's having a full dissociative identity situation going on. He shot himself in the cheek, I guess the thinking is he was trying to shoot the devil over his left shoulder, or some idea of a left-brain/right-brain split. In the novel the film is based on it's simply that he fucks up trying to shoot himself, blowing a hole in one cheek, in in doing so ripping open to hole in his other cheek that he got from having his face pounded into the concrete in fight club (the "Do it again next week?" "How 'bout next month?" scene in the movie) so he ends up with something like a Chelsea Grin. The flickering is a couple frames of Tyler Durden being spliced into the scene, in the same way we later see him splice porn into family films, but long enough you can notice it, to hint that Tyler isn't real. Visual storytelling done well. The only dong that gets spliced into the film is in the closing sequence, a joke inclusion There's a theory going round, a way of looking at the film, as if the various characters closest to 'Jack' are personalities he creates to deal with learning he's got testicular cancer: Bob represents emasculation, Tyler is the toxic hyper-masculinity he clings to, Marla is his more feminine side or acceptance of the diagnosis, and the story is just elaborately playing out how he resolves these various sides of his identity, which is definitely an interesting spin on it.

The only person that was "imagined" was Tyler Durden. A significant part of the movie revolves around copping with and understanding ones own mortality. The scene 13:22 where Tyler (himself) burns his hand he says "First you have to know, that some day you're gunna die" , "It's only after we have lost everything, that we are free to do anything" These lines and other parts of the movie work to show that he created Tyler to survive a life he hated and previously was only waiting to die unfulfilled, which he was very afraid of. Finding the terminal support groups is a way for him to temporarily relieve his fear of dying unfulfilled. The act of him placing a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger was the ultimate way from him to prove he has no fear left of dying, and is essentially free of his old self. Doing this kills Tyler because he embraced the parts of Tyler he needed to survive, making Tyler irrelevant and "killing" Tyler. He however only survives because the bullet missed his skull and spine, and came out his back jaw. The people he meets and recruits are all real. And the plan to blow up the credit system is also real. He did all those things as his alter ego "Tyler Durden". Hope this helps. Always a fun movie to see people react to. But it is a head scratcher at times.
