This is actually a trailer for the sequel where the main character is making a movie about the events of the third but he hit his head and thinks tyler is real againO_o
Edward hit the nail on the head, I have watched this movie about 7 times now and I still notice new things, and it never gets old either. This movie will go on to be a timeless classic. Mark my words.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Its a real shame that Brad Pitt is really only known for his public image and his private life, because he's a very intelligent man and a truly superb actor.
I find it interesting that what Pitt was saying (about people not experiencing things and being spectators) is 100 times more true than when this interview took place.
I believe Fight Club is one of the few examples in which the film is NOT a downgraded version of the book. On the contrary, it is a perfect re-arrangement of the book's message, details and information, with the added value of what audio and video can convey. This has been achieved and mastered by Uhls and Fincher in a way that I've not seen in any movie... before, or after this one.
Wow are they both still in character or what? Edward looks just as fed up and miserable as his character Jack. Brad is still stuck in Tyler Durden mode, he acts just like him lol such a stud.
This is a philosophy film. I forced my philosophy professor father (with an "Ethics" focus) to watch the movie and he fucking loved it. Coincidentally, despite being in his late-60's and 5'6," he punched someone in the face 2 months later at a basketball game. It was epic.
I think that's a fair question. I'm not sure if the message was one of lawlessness or a severe reformist movement against programming corporatism. IMO, both would work but that question deserves more thought. Thanks for your comment.
+Don'tcallmeshirley People say it's anti-capitalist, but I don't think that's necessarily true. It's anti-consumerist. Anarchism is a buzz word. True anarchism simply means "no government". If I had to describe it, I'd say it's nihilistically anti-corporatism.
Xilo Channel I don't think this has anything to do with a middle age crisis... I'd say that happens in your mid-forties, after you got married and had a couple of kids.
Literally the best film, this film set the boundaries for thriller. A masterpiece. And the both of them, Brad Pitt along with Edward Norton were absolutely phenomenal.
"It looks like you guys are just fighting" Exactly, that's the EXACT reason I hadn't watched until just a few days ago. Seriously, I saw it for the first time just recently. It really sucks, as that's the same for a lot of people... Legendary film.
yeah, Im 46 too, like the dude doing the interview. One good thing i remember about having fights in school yards is, once you'd settle your differences with someone in a physical fight, the two of you would have respect for one another from that point on.
Short answer is Norton's experience and David Fincher's relentless directing. With Fincher directing you know they had to do that scene as many times as it took to get it right.
Seriously the No.1 MUST WATCH DVD of all time.. damn this movie is good.. seriously. A standing ovation to Norton, Pitt, Carter, Meat Loaf and the whole cast and crew. Especially Palahniuk... The 1st rule of Fight Club is.. YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB
True story. In all the interviews I've seen of his he talks about things so extensively. He seems to be a very analytical and serious person. I love the fact that you don't get a typical Hollywood interview from him, with all the typical responses and opinions of the hollywood clones. He's almost refreshingly dull but not in a boring way. Yes he IS deep.
this is probably the best movie ive ever seen in my life. i didnt even expect it to be as good as it turned out. highly underrated but that goes to show that the underdog is always the winner. i had to choose between this and a beautiful mind to write a paper on for a psych class of mine. its only supposed to be two pages. fuck that one could write about this movie infinitely. so many layers of messages and ideas pertaining to the social structure of this generation and everything else.so much
Fantastic interview, dude. More of a conversation....and right outta the bag, hits 'em with a notion that the violence isn't what you really believe it as, and these guys, who had probably done 20 interviews before this guy, are enjoying the hell out of it because they understand JC is along for the ride. Well done.
You can tell how great these actors are, if they can go beyond talking about the movie, beyond talking about the behind the scenes, to talking about the core, gist of the ideas presented.
People with dissociative identity disorder (more commonly called multiple personality disorder) are often unaware the actions their "alters" until they are made aware of them (in this case finding out for himself). Interestingly, the film fits a common case profile among DID patients in that the primary personality is somewhat passive and depressed (depression is often co-morbid with DID) while the alters tend to be more outgoing. Also check out dissociative fugue, similar concept in some ways.
These two guys are very good actors, so getting into a script is normal. Both are good physical actors..Ed was in Generation X and Brad has always carried himself.
It's so funny how they start to resent each other while they try to get their word in and half way they get interrupted and they just both carry on their statements
***** Well, Edward Norton felt that this film was a piece of social commentary that satirized the radical left. Brad Pitt felt it was a raw, visceral exploration of masculinity, and they both contributed to the script. I think this is one of the things that makes it such a fantastic movie because the writing and the overall message of the film is so ambiguous. Is it about the radical left? Is it about emasculation? Is it a character study of a descent into madness? Is it a critique of consumerism? It's almost as if the person watching(and making) the movie is one of the writers, applying their own interpretation to what the movie is about. I once read a feminist review, in which she critiques the entire plot of the movie, based solely on the clothes the characters wore! The only character she liked was Helena Bonham Carter(big surprise there), not realizing she was merely projecting her own perception of the world, and men in particular, onto the movie, thanks to the brilliance of the way it was written.
He says we're in PC times and this was like 99, 2016 is a complete beast all together, we're in a time where you cant make any joke without offending half the fucking country, shit me drinking water probably offended someone somewhere, damn we need to get away from this bullshit, somehow.
so paranoid. . . saying that you are exaggerating is a understatement, today people have awareness and criticize commentary's that are prejudiced, sometime s go overboard, but this doesn't discredit the motive behind this pheonmenom. also, shawn of the dead amazing movie, laugh my ass off, not offensive, at all, it is not that hard to make greak comedy without laughing at a minority, you just need to try.
I'm a minority and I kinda like to be laughed at because I wanna be able to laugh at other minorities/ethnic/racial groups without feeling guilty, just being honest. Make your racist/sexist/whatever-ist jokes, as long as they're funny, I'll laugh. There aren't many things I consider to be in poor taste and it pisses me off to see so many people with such thin skin.
Yup..If offence is found so be the truth. Meaning sure you may be offended because there is some truth but to take the offence personally means you match some stereotype to your life. And it pisses you off that you could be the butt of a/the joke. One must take a moment and explore why one is offended and as to what part is offended. Usually folks come to the same conclusion you did. >> "That was funny, Tell me another.."
redneckhippiefreak there is more than one way of being affected by a joke, being the direct "butt" of it is just one, have stereotype applied to you for your entire life makes you pissed off even if is not true, especially for not being truth. the people o see wanting to be offended by everything is these twats that everything is a trigger warning for then, everything is pc, everything is sjw, even when it couldn't be farther from the issue. i mean seriously, you have to make trigger warnings for trigger warnings because people can't put 1+1 without making it a "sjw"/freedom of speech issue
Fight club is the type of film that you have to see again to appreciate it. When i saw it for the first time i was like"What?" after the film was over. When i saw it again, it's on my top 10 favorite films!
... they had this competition thing going on thru the WHOLE movie and people who've worked on the set described the experience as a really tensed one... which fantastically suited the relationship between Tyler a.k.a Cornelius and Tyler as Tyler and possibly made the movie a masterpiece..
Fight Club is definitely the first movie of the 21st Century and it is still my favorite movie. It essentially captures the essence of what it's like to be a man. I decided it was gonna be the first movie I (re)-watched in the new millenium.
This movie was ahead of its time, I mean the direction, story it was not in at that time. Its been 15 years and I still get blown away from the movie, its insane. Fucking tyler durden
I love how so many love Fight Club (and they should its a good movie) but so many people hate Alien 3 saying its a terrible movie (and its not) even though both were directed by David Fincher.
I'm not sure if Ed is a natural born speaker or if he just likes to talk, but he was the main one to talk during the commentary on the DVD. And when i saw him in an MTV award show he was with Selma Hayek and every time i saw him on camera, he was talking.
i think some people, those who went to a certain extreme, missed the point of the book/movie. Chuck isn't telling you to go out and quit what sustains you, or reject society or to reject religion or school. i think he is asking you to reject complacency and think for yourself "Jack" needed to lose everything to see it but the message is spelled out for you, you don't need to lose everything simply wake up and live life. "this is the greatest moment in your life and you are out there missing it!"
More of this shit! :) Love how the guys actually have a deep understanding of what movie is about and are able to express it so well! :) unlike so many actors who usually just do those boring "stating the obvious" interviews!
