Everyone is obsessed with Brad's performance but they forgot Norton who was phenomenal.

We buy things we dont need. With money we dont have. To impress people we dont like.

Fight Club is one of those movies that hits the spot without missing an inch of it. The nameless narrator (Edward Norton) is an insomniac office worker who lives a materialistic life. From the very beginning the movie comments on the capitalist nature of society by portraiting how consumerism moves the world, but is unable to give relief in the end. Flipping through catalogues of new furnite for his apartment were the narrator's only personality trait. To fight against his insomnia he starts attending to support groups. By lying to people, pretending he has conditions he does not have, the narrator finds relief - the emotional acceptance he finds in the support groups is enough to allow him to sleep at night. The emotional complexity of the character is nothing unrealistic. David Fincher makes a subtle, yet clear, comment on the nature of materialist societies where no one really listens to each other nor care about each other. The system doesn't care about anyone, the distance between people - especially enhanced by how they function in the capitalist world - is a major plot point. However, when the narrator is finds someone who's a faker just like him he loses his emotional escape - " Her lie reflected my lie. Suddenly, I felt nothing. I couldn't cry, so once again I couldn't sleep". Shortly after Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is introduced into the story, the main character loses everything he valued. Deprived of his possessions he seeks solace in the company of a man who is the polar opposite of what he is. If the narrator is a worker who's way too worried about his condo and his job, Tyler is a freewheeling soapmaker who couldn't care less about all those things. The contrast between them is clear; Tyler refuses any consumerist logic from the narrator whilst making he see how futile is the lifestyle he was leading - "Right. We are consumers. We're the by-products of a lifestyle obsession." The characters here portraid are so different because one of them is free, while the other is not. Tyler, in a nihilistic way, helps the narrator realize that his existence is meaningless enough - something that is clearly displayed in the capitalist world - that all they can do is giving up everything. The self-destruction promoted by the Fight Club is ironically what allows the narrator - as well as many other frustrated men - to find solace in their mundane life. Little by little the narrator is stripping himself off his previous beliefs about job, about behavior and the value of things. It's interesting to note that the narrator doesn't quit his job immediately, picturing how hard it is actually to cut ties with the system - he eventually does though. Many subtopics are discussed through the movie. We see the narrator and Tyler, now living together, talking about many things. They talk about how both had an absent father, how both lacked a sense of direction in life at some point and were told to follow the common sense - "He says, 'get a job'. So, I'm 25, I call again and say, 'now what?' He says, 'I dunno. Get married". The nature of the system we live in tells us what to do since the moment we're born, while both of them agree on that, they also agree that this is all a great waste of time. It's important to notice though that both them had no significant connections with other people, especially with women as Tyler comments - "We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need". As the club grows the movie delves even deeper in those reflections about what really matters in life - "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy s**t we don't need". Tyler becomes the source of inspiration for everyone who attends to the fight club; everyone is much more like the narrator, but they're striving to be more like him. At some point, Tyler decides that the club is meant to be something bigger - what he would call Project Mayhem. While the original Fight Club was something kept like a secret idealized to give some sort of freedom, through self-destruction, to its members, Project Mayhem is about declaring a fight against the system. The frustrated collective consciousness was the straw that broke the camel's back - "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 pi**ed off". However, the narrator starts to slowly go against what Tyler was meaning to do - kinda of recalling a bit of his past self and a sort of respect for the authority of society - and when this happen it's the moment the movie reaches its climax. The genius of the movie is displayed when we discover that Tyler Durden and the narrator are the same person, they have always been the same person. Due to his declining mental health and his rather meaningless life, he created an alter-ego - someone capable of manifesting everything he wasn't as a system abiding person. The contrast created by Tyler's different personalities is amazing to watch as the truth unfolds; and the ambivalence created when we discover the truth about Tyler Durden is even more marvelous. This movie portraits very well how a person can reach the extremes of their mind in a system that overlooks the relevance of your very existence - when you become just a number, just a braindead member of society, having your hopes and wishes constantly ignored. In the end Tyler recovers his sanity only to see that his actions can't be reverted - so he only stands by and watches. The final scene is beautiful; what could be bettar than watching the system crumbling before your eyes while "Where is my Mind" plays? This movie is a masterpiece and it is so entrancing because of how real it is - in the end the movie shows many things we know and think but tend to keep hidden. It is provocative, funny and thrilling and most importantly: It is so damn real. The plot aged perfectly and I don't think it is going to get old so soon - this movie is a must watch.

The perfection of using this song in the end scene and during the end credits still never ceases to amaze me

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

I just watched this film for the first time yesterday... I'm still recovering

Man, fight club is one of the greatest movies ever made. Don’t give a shit if you disagree with me, it’s just a timeless work of art.

I love it when Tyler said “It’s fight club time” and just Fight clubbed everywhere.

I wish other movies nowadays had the balls to be half as good as fight club

Edward Norton great actor

This movie touched me on an emotional level and it couldn't have had a better soundtrack

This made me feel special while I was worthless

they couldn't of chose a more fitting track to end this film with.. genius

I’m watching/listening to this at a very strange time in my life

"The things you own end up owning you" This one was actually kinda eye opening for me. I've lately been using social media and technology of many kinds to a point where they where actually using me.

His name was Robert Paulson.

I know this song because Tyler knows this.

Brad Pitt is extraordinary in this movie, he makes Tyler Durden's character unforgettable. And the same is valid for Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, phenomenal acting. The alchemy between the three is superlative and this performance remains in the history of cinema. Thumbs-up for them, Chuck Palahniuk and David fucking Fincher.

Fight Club truly changed my life.

This story is a masterpiece that no other movie will beat

I've seen this movie at least a thousand times. It changed my whole world perspective.

Brad Pitt+ Ed Norton+David Fincher= classic movie

Never has a movie blown my mind like this.

I named my son Tyler because of this legendary movie

One of the greatest movies of all time. I was truly blown away.

I wish I could erase my memory of this film so I could watch it again for the first time

In my 26 years of living in this world, I have never seen this movie. I've always heard people talk about it and how incredible Brad Pitt is in it, etc. I always thoughts that this movie was simply just about fighting and boy when I finally watched it yesterday, I had a complete epiphany. I feel like I watched this movie at the perfect moment of my life. I have never related to a movie as accurate as Fight Club. Currently going through a tough time... i guess you can say im at a strange part of my life. After watching this movie, I realize that there are also a lot of people that are going through the same problems. I havent stopped listening to this song since watching the movie. Fight club has replaced Interstellar as my favorite movie of all time. What a masterpiece.

Legendary film 🔥

Satisfied song for unsatisfied life

2:44 "I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more."

I dont know why but whenever I listen to this melody I find a heavenly peace , like I am above all my life problems .

Let's be real... there will never be a usage of Where Is My Mind that can ever come close to the perfection that was and is its use in Fight Club.

Greatest. Cinematic. Ending. Ever.

Still the best movie ever made.

Edward Norton was absolutely incredible in this film as well as Brad Pitt

I've been a professional editor for 30 years. Film trailers, commercials, etc. For what it's worth...great job dude. Best final song for a film...ever.

I am jacks wasted life

My breakfast tasted better than any meal I've ever had after watching this masterpiece.

This movie rised whole generation of ppl

I'm still waiting for the day they show this movie in theaters again!!

When buildings start collapsing and this music plays in the end....

High philosophy, fascinating character, hypnotic story, amazing film making. I have never seen cinema achieve such high art as this.

The best closing scene ever.

Norton is tremendous. First saw him in Primal Fear and was blown away. American History X incredible too. But this is a masterpiece. So many good movies from the start till 2010 I missed I'm almost glad most modern movies are bilge. It's like they've taken a break so we can discover the gems we missed and rewatch those we didn't.

People with depression are the most ones to love this movie cause it relates so deep!

Some of Tyler Quotes in this movie is absolutely true and will set you free.

This song hits different after watching Fight Club...

3:26 LMAO IT WAS PERFECT THE SHOOT AND THE "ooh-ooh"

some movies don't grow old , they grow gold!!! thanks for making this video,

Not Just a Movie.... This Is Masterpiece......

Fight club is such a hypnotic movie

Of all the things Ive lost I miss my mind the most - Mark Twain

“I found freedom”, loosing all hope was freedom!

"My Dad never went to college, so of course its real important that I go. So I graduate, I call him up long-distance and say, 'now what?' He says, 'get a job'. So, I'm 25, I call again and say, 'now what?' He says, 'I dunno. Get married.'" "You can't get married. I'm a thirty-year-old boy." When I first heard this while watching the film I thought they made a mistake. Silly me.

One of the best tracks of all time

Как хорошо что даже за рубежом ценят умение Серёги настраивать людей на правильные решения

A person asked “ what is masterpiece”? Me:*shows him this movie.

Fight Club will always have a special place in my heart.

"Losing all hope was freedom." - Fight Club

My love for this movie and its soundtrack made me write this comment

I thought I knew the name of the main character What a surprise when I realized that I don’t even know his name I don’t know it even after a year after watching this masterpiece The reality is, he doesn’t have a name He is you You are Tyler Durden. You make this 1.5 hour trip to just realize what sets you free.

freshly squeezed

Edward Norton deserved an oscar for this

Yep, time to watch Fight Club. Love you guys. Lol

It's 2021 and this movie is still a masterpiece! Thank you Fincher for making this film!

You are dying one minute at a time

My 12 years old daughter discovered Pixies on her own... Just can't believe she is fan... also Artic Monkeys and so many other good bands... and she speak French with no accent... so proud of her,, wait until you see her dancing...

This was a really good film

no matter how hard i try i can’t get over how good this movie is

I am Jack’s smirking revenge.

1:07 Nice editing

Best movie, best song!!!

Fight club is the type of movie i would actually pay to watch

“Only after disaster can we be resurrected”

This movie resonates stronger with each year that passes, its was wayy wayy ahead of it time in the 1990s. Only now people start to see that this movie is right.

God, the guitar solo with the apparitions, goosebumps

Got depression for 2 years, after meditation, this was my first movie post depression and i thought this movie about illegal boxing. Instantly my favorite movie.

"We r not special, we r not unique. We r organic decaying material of the same compost heap. We r singing and dancing crap of the world."

"We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like"

best song

this movie changed me

This song is great . The rif makes the special atmosphere !

[Intro] Oooh - stop [Verse 1] With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah (yeah) Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself [Chorus] Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Way out in the water See it swimming [Verse 2] I was swimming in the Caribbean Animals were hiding behind the rock Except a little fish bumped into me I swear he was trying to talk to me, he said "wait, wait" [Chorus] Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Way out in the water See it swimming [Verse 3] With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself [Chorus] Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Way out in the water See it swimming [Outro] With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah
