Brad Pitt’s physicality was crazy for this movie, he was always in tension, always moving, a nervous bundle of ultra-masculine violent capability. What an incredible performance.

This is one of my favorite movies. My favorite line is "I was reminded of my first fight with Tyler." The fact you figured out the twist based on that line made me so happy. This movie is worth a rewatch. There are so many background details that are so easy to miss. And then reevaluating scenes knowing the twist, makes the movie much more interesting. Its funny you said that Marla's scenes clued you in. Most people think she's just as crazy or manipulative. But its so interesting realizing how much saner she seem on a second watch (at least to me). Instead of a manipulator she is a victim of it all. The thing about this movie that scares me is that Tyler's speeches and monologues are far too similar to that of politicians. They identify problems in your life. They relate to you. They get you to believe in them. Then they give you a solution. It doesn't matter if the solution doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter if its psychotic. People will follow.

Very early on when she said "He's living vicariously through Tyler" I was like 😯 lol. This is one of those movies that's for real better the 2nd and 3rd times. You won't believe how many "hints" you catch all through out

“A good fight never hurt anybody” “WhAt”? That had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂

When edword norton fist punched brad pitt he really punched him. Right in the ear totally authentic reaction and stayed in character

Chuck Palanyuk, the author of the Fight Club novel, has said that he got the idea for this story after getting beat up while on a camping trip. When he returned to work, none of his coworkers would acknowledge the cuts and bruises he had on his face.

I never thought of this as a laugh-out-loud movie, but you two had SO much fun! 😅 And Shanna CALLED IT!

13:35 I love the fact that she suggests Tyler's an alternate ego and he gave it some legitimate thought. Seems like good lines of communication in their relationship.

Fight Club is the ultimate Gen X movie and a perfect depiction of the nihilistic mood of the late 90s. A whole generation of men, especially, who were lost in the mundaneness of everyday life, searching for meaning during that era. Great movie! High Fidelity (another highly recommended movie) is another film that depicts this concept well.

The first time you watch it marla seems insane. The 2nd time you watch it you realize she's the most sane person in the whole movie. Edit: you want another crazy movie that will keep you guessing, that also happens to be directed by David fincher check out "the game"

What I love about this reaction is Vince was laughing a ton and Shoshanna clocked Project Mayhem as a cult right away. I feel like tons of people miss either or both that this is supposed to be funny, but it is also a serious critique of cultish indoctrination.

At the start of the movie you can see brad pitt's character for a frame 1:07 telling us 'the viewer' it is indeed just a persona, It's absolutely amazing because in the film they make a joke about adding a odd frame into film. Love this movie. Easily in my top 5 of all time! So happy to hear you guys loved it as well :)

You can see how Shashana goes from the beginning of the movie bored of it to completely into it half way through it.

She's really really good to pick that up early on. My mind was blown with the reveal, but she caught on early enough. You go girl

Y’all are seriously my favorite movie reaction channel. Keep it up

Requiem for a Dream, Momento, The Machinst, No Country For Old Men, Moon and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are a number of crazy movies.

This movie is just Art in it's highest form. The way the story progresses and letting viewers figure it out, piece by piece is just so beautiful. It was also very crazy that this movie did not get an Oscar because Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump was released in the same period.

Well it's true that Tyler isn't real, but when in the office he was hitting himself to put the blame on the boss, not like he was fighting some invisible dude

That terrifying realization the main character has that he sort of is the villain, and even then, stopping the chaos still seems impossible, is so intense. So many people look back and regret their actions, but can you imagine realizing that “you” are gonna keep doing things you’re opposed to, again and again, on purpose, and you can’t do anything about it? Luckily, stuff like Dissociative Identity Disorder are much better understood these days, so it’s far less scary a condition than it used to be. Until maybe a decade ago, the general public only heard about similar issues from horror movies. As more systems have come out, it’s been such a relief for others to feel like they’re basically (kinda) normal after all.

Its crazy to say...The book is just as fast paced and outrageously good. When I saw the movie, I thought all the quick edits and fast paced style of film making was a directors decision... But when I read the book, I imagined in my head, almost exactly how the movie is laid out... The book is written in a style I never seen before...

I remember seeing this movie for the first time because I was working at a theater and before release date, theaters always need to run the print to make sure it was assembled correctly and theater employees can jump in and watch if we want. I had never heard of this movie, and neither did anyone else but someone needed to sit through it so they asked me and someone else. Holy crap my mind was blown and of course I came back to watch with other people. It was probably the marketing, but this movie did not do well at the box office and only became a thing when it was released on DVD.

I've watched tons of reactions and showed hundreds of people this film and I've never seen ANYONE guess the twist anywhere NEAR that early on 🤯 Impressive

Answer to your questions on the ending. In the last few scenes of the movie, the movie is asking the audience whether you believe that both the protag and tylers characters know what each other is thinking. The protag is constantly searching for tyler and finding clues to his whereabouts. Insinuating that he doesn’t know what tyler is thinking. The movie then tries to confuse the audience by having the protag say, “if you know then I know”. When cutting the bomb wire. Later tyler asks the protag, “why would you put a gun to your head?”. This question insinuates that tyler doesn’t know what the protag is thinking. At the end of the movie, the protag realizes that tyler doesn’t actually know what he’s thinking. Thats when he says, “my eyes are open 👀”. The protag shoots himself without intending on killing himself, but because tyler doesn’t know this. Tyler has to assume that the protag is dead. Therefore he would have to disappear because his existence is based on the his belief that the protag is alive.

Every time Vince cracked up, I cracked up😂

If you haven’t yet “American history x” is another classic movie

This movie is the closest adaptation of a book. It's one of the instances that I think the movie is a little better because it's easier to visualize the choppy, insomniac delivery. It really works for the movie.

Ed Norton is great in American History X.

Dude your girl is a keeper, she figured it before you did. Someone smart looking out for you is a good thing.

You two gotta get a legit audio setup going on so you can both hear everything in both ears!

Fantastic reaction! And to clock onto the twist that early, probably earlier than 99%.

His laughter is completely appropriate , this is a Comedy, a Satire and should not be taken seriously.

this film will never not be great. the explosion scene at the end to the Pixies soundtrack is fucking iconic also, bruv, your giggle as you try to verbalise what you just witnessed is the most perfect reaction I've ever seen to this 😂 the fact that you guys haven't heard of Edward Norton tho 😭

One of my favorites in this movie is the aircraft safety cards replacement 😄 Love your reactions, you two are so genuine!

This is the first time I've seen a reactor clock the twist so early in the movie, kudos! 😂

Cant believe they missed those flashes of Brad Pitt in the beginning 🤣

I just finished watching the movie and it was truly incredible. One of the best psychological movies of all time. Ending was fascinating.

If you guys like this you gotta watch “Seven” next! Same director and he made it just after fight club

Please consider watching "American History X" as it is a beautiful example of Edward Norton's acting ability. It's a well written movie too and guaranteed to make a phenomenal blind reaction for people who are unfamiliar with his work and unfamiliar with what American History X is about. The less you know, the better.

0:50 - when they both look at each other just as that blip of Tyler shows up for 1 frame. Hilarious

If you really pay attention to the begging of the movie you see Tyler flashing in until he becomes full on the escalator. He 'meets' Tyler on the plane the first time because he wasn't there at first but then he starts day dreaming and his there sitting next to him. Very interesting film but I love it. When I first watched it I thought both Tyler and the girl (don't know her name) where both figments of his mind

Sad thing is, now you can see the "Tyler" twist end coming.. at the time this came out other than the movie Psycho this really wasn't done and nobody seen it coming. Since Fight Club came out there is a thousand stories like this now so it is easy to pick up on the cues when it is coming.

What I love about this movie is that it's so obvious when you re-watch it. So many little clues and signs.

Had so much fun watching this with u! Like a lot of other comments, must rewatch. One misses so much on the first watch…& you will actually enjoy the 2nd view even more. Little things like they live on Paper St. Streets are given the code name Paper on building schematics before built/named. So the street name is “fake” or Paper. Fincher directed a masterpiece here, Norton who is criminally underrated as an actor was awesome & Pitt just knocked it out of the ballpark in this as he usually does. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Both your faces on the end hahahahahahahah I've seen this movie more than a hundred times, the amount of details is amazing.

Nice catch! I caught it too because of Marla and that fight with "his boss" when Nortons character said it reminded him of his first fight with Tyler. One of 2 movies i caught it before the reveal, the other being The Sixth Sense. I'll not go into that more in case u guys haven't seen it yet. Asking for people to request movies with a "big reveal" would kinda destroy the experience of being surprised, since u'd be waiting for it the entire movie.....i could give u about 10 but they'd be ruined. For another great Edward Norton movie, give Primal Fear a watch, it's the movie that put him on the map.

Whoever is doing your post reaction editing, damn, best I have seen!

Girl, your brain!!! You're so smart you caught it so earlyy!!

13:12 totally broke you. Just seeing the horror, and then laugh at what’s going on. I recognize that laugh of utter confusion and bemusement. It’s awesome.😂 17:43 they did the same thing that they did to Raymond the convenience clerk.

The whole thing was that he never got over his insomnia. Different parts of him went to sleep at different times. I had undiagnosed sleep apnea for over a decade, and when you don't get sleep, that's what happens, parts of you sleep while you're otherwise awake. It gets really strange, dreams start interfering with rational thoughts, driving gets hypnotic. I went into fugue states where I either acted on unconscious instinct or didn't move at all, frozen in place, sometimes for as much as an hour. I thought I had split personalities, sometimes. I found the TV remote in the ice tray once. I got food delivered that I hadn't remembered ordering. I woke up in my car, parked with the motor running, in front of a place I had lived many years before. It messed with my sense of time and my grounding to reality. There's a weird urge to repeat stupid behaviors, because part of you can't figure out why you did them in the first place, and you repeat them to try to make yourself understand, but instead it gets stuck in a loop or gets worse.

This movie changed my outlook on life. Great film, genuine art!! I knew you guys would dig it. It was annoying seeing all the naysayers trashing it in comments sections of the polls. A lot of folks just don't understand it.

“I wanted to breathe smoke. I wanted to destroy something beautiful”

Jack's apartment was blown up when he came home from the plane ride that he met Tyler on. The apartment destruction was planned, esp if the policia are saying that it was gas filling up the apartment for days, as though Jack planned it himself before he left for his biz trip.

You should definitely check out the series LEGION, the maker of the Fargo series which is also top notch. Both are mind blowing but LEGION is in a league of its own

Congrats, that's super impressive to call that so early 😮

Soo.. here's my theory... ol girl was already spoiled to the twist and tried to act like she was figuring it out 😂

some thing younger people usually dont catch is this was near the end of the whole AIDS thing, so when Tyler let all his blood spew over Lou, it hit way harder to audiences than just "oh no, blood..."

Great reaction guys. One thing that hit me after many rewatches is that because Tyler and the Narrator are the same person, when he tells Marla she is in danger, he's basically telling her that he might kill her. That is beyond messed up.

“He’s like living vicariously through Tyler” Me: trying my damndest to keep my trap shut

If you haven’t seen any Edward Norton movies other than this and Hulk then you should watch American History X. It’s a great film.

at 22:23 the director actually reshot that fall down the stairs scene three times with he same stuntman, and only used the first take.

I love how Shoshana figured out the twist only halfway through XD Also, a few tidbits on this movie. Brad Pitt was eating healthy, working out constantly, and tanning, so Tyler Durden would look more buff and healthy by the end, while Edward Norton stayed away from sunlight, and practically starved himself, so Narrator would become smaller and more sickly looking by the end. Essentially showing the Tyler alter completely subsuming the other. And there's a Starbucks cup in every single scene. Edit: Regarding the wall of "Human Sacrifices", remember Raymond from the convenience store. When Tyler told Narrator they had an assignment to do, he called it "Human Sacrifice". Those are all people that have been threatened with death if they don't start working towards what they wanted to do.

The first place he hit “Tyler” was the ear. The shot at the end exited his ear. Thus he got rid of Tyler. Try reading the book it makes the movie look mild!!! 😂

These movies are rare, however a film you've got to check out is Dogville, different to Fight Club, but so unique and incredible too.

I love how in the description the movie referred to is Get Out instead of Fight Club X)

To me one of the most unique movies ever made. When I saw this in theaters in '99, I thought this would change cinema forever. It didn't really...

Loved your reaction to Fight Club, you asked for other films to watch in a similar vein and here's a few recommendations: -Jacob's Ladder (1990 version) -The Empty Man (2020) -The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) -The Prestige (2006) -The Machinist (2004) -Shutter Island (2010)

After this I have so many recommendations, but I can’t remember everything you’ve seen😂. So for Norton: Primal Fear, American History X. For Brad Pitt: Seven (directed by Fincher), Legends Of The Fall, Inglorious Basterds (directed by Tarantino) and whatever else I forgot. Love you reactions. Rewatch this reaction video and look for all of the single frames of Brad Pitt before he meets him on the plane.

The Machinist is good too ❤

*"it's not until you've lost everything that you're free to do ANYTHING..."* TYLER DURDIN

You should watch this again there are single frames of Tyler in the beginning of the movie. And a lot of people think Marla is still just another part of his psyche. If you watch the dance in the hallway when Tyler Rescues Marla as the cops go by there’s a mirror that they aren’t seen in. It’s an interesting theory

In response to what is said at the end: what’s interesting about the movie is that the fighting is really the background to the rest of an entire amazingly written book & perfectly written/directed movie. The first time you see it it is surprising how little the fighting is a part of it, when it comes to the whole.

You guys DEFINITELY need to watch PRIMAL FEAR with Ed Norton. One of his best roles. And another mind f movie you both will love

“You’re going to fight a total stranger and you will lose” so he fights himself (a stranger) and loses.

I love your faces during the last minute.

Now you guys are ready for Primal Fear. Ed Norton's best performance.

I always forget just how amazing this movie is and it surprises me how much I love it every time I watch it even knowing the twist.

Never heard of Edward Norton? You should watch American History X and Primal Fear, two really good movies with him.

I think the narrator’s psychic break started with the weekly “guided meditation” where he was guided to find his “Power Animal”. It seems that it’s possible that the hypnotic metaphor turned on itself and created Tyler Durden; which lead to everything else.

Definitely looking forward to this one. 😊 This is one of my favorite Brad Pitt and Edward Norton movies. Another great Edward Norton movie that I highly recommend is the 1998 movie "Rounders". And another great Brad Pitt movie that I very highly recommend if neither of you have seen yet is the 1994 "Interview with a Vampire". Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

One of my most favorite mind bending movies. Always finding something new every time you watch it.

3:50 This actually happened in the 90s by a woman named Lorena Bobbitt. Crazy story >

I am sooo happy you guys liked this movie, I’ve been wanting for you guys to watch it since forever ago, but I just thought you wouldn’t like it, loved the vid!!

She is a smart one nearly no one gets it that fast the first time watching this movie

3:54 "who's this?" "tyler?"

Its crazy that she got the plot twist super early, but for the complete wrong reason.

This is one of those "must watch"movies. So glad you liked it. And since you want more, I'll suggest Memento, the Usual Suspects and Mulholland Drive. All of them might have you scratching your heads😉

I never really paid attention to directors either, but when I started to, I realized that David Fincher made all my favorite movies. You should check out anything he's made.

Damn can't believe she picked up on him saying he thought back to his first fight with Tyler when he's beating himself in the office noticing details like that is worth a subscribe

Interesting you mention Silence of the Lambs. Ed Norton starred in Red Dragon with Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lector), a pre-cursor to SOTL.

The whole svicide at the end was symbolic ridding himself of the Pitt Tyler. He's still Tyler because he's always been, that's why the only name we got was narrator and the fake name he gave the support group. Also speaking of Silence of the Lambs and not knowing Edward Norton, he starred in one of the sequels Red Dragon.

Never heard of Edward Norton? Holy crap. American History X straight to the top of your list then.

I agree with the people recommending Primal Fear for Edward Norton but I also highly recommend Rounders.

if you like psychotic movies that blow your mind, I would highly suggest `Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas` with Johnny Deep and Benicio Del Toro!! It`s an absolute classic!!!! It`s even crazier when you know. that it`s based on real events!!!

When he sai dthat office moment reminded him of his first fight with tyler, i thought he was meaning getting beat up and letting go feeling free, etc

The way Shoshanna called the plot twist by like half of the movie's run time is amazing

If you guys wanna watch another movie like this, highly recommend watching The Machinist with Christian Bale. Such a good movie!

This Fight Club movie was based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk and he actually wrote sequels as two comic book series (Fight Club 2 and Fight Club 3). It'd be great if they were able to get Fincher, Norton, Pitt & Carter (Maria) back together to film one of those sequels since all of those characters return in the comic book follow-ups.

One time I had a bad infection lump on my arm, I could only think to name it “Marla”. I remember telling my roommate at the time things like “I’m taking Marla out for a walk” ;)

At the end it was the narrator who was present. Shooting himself was the narrator outgrowing his dependency on Tyler by taking control of his life. In the book, the bullet passes out his cheek. That's why he didn't die but Tyler did. Also there are a million hints to the twist and it's well worth a re-watch
