Ed Norton whooping hisself in his bosses office is one of the coolest scenes I've ever seen

“When you’re sick you want one thing, when you’re healthy you want 1000 things” very true Seb. 👏🏾 👏🏾

Btw, when Edwards character punches Brad pitt, he actually hit him and that was the take used

completely missed the part where the cop called and asked if he knew anyone who had access to dynamite and in the next scene Tyler gives the step by step of how his items can be used to make Dynamite

When he calls Tyler after his apartment blew up, notice how the pay phone said no incoming calls allowed?

This movie changed my life for the better. At the time, i was in medical school, overworked, exhausted, goal-focused....and VERY materialistic. As quoted in the movie, "Youre not your khakis," .... Dockers clothing line came out with a line of "masculine" colored Khaki pants, like gunmetal, titanium, sage, tobacco, etc... And i **did** actually ask myself "which XXX defines me, as a person," before buying things. i was messed up. It felt like the movie was talking directly to ME: I was young, materialistic, and dienfranchised and about to become a doctor with a lost soul. It was a wake up call. I started letting go of buying things, and became, what people today, call, a "minimalist." I learned how to fix things, like old shirts, shoes (i bought a cobbler's anvil on ebay,) make pizza at home from scratch and started to eat lunch outside under trees instead of the cafeteria. inviting coworkers and (ambulatory) patients to eat with me.I started focusing on patients instead of grades. In a few semesters, i stopped chasing status and money and got back into martial arts, tiny gardening (growing basil in tiny pots) and wieght lifting. I changed my specialty from lucrative surgery to pediatrics. Making little kids healthy was a better fit for me than cutting open abdomens to treat stomach cancers. A few years after it came out, I told my girlfriend, Fight Club was my favorite movie on our first date. The next day, she watched it on her own for the first time, and later said it was one of the mind altering movies she's ever seen. That was 17 years ago, and we're still together. A dig at masculinity? Cultish? Maybe. But that's not what i got out of it. I will be forever greatful to this movie for redirecting my life in a more meaningful direction.

First appearance of Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) in the video.... a frame at minute 1:11. If you blink you don't see it anymore. To see it well, speed at 0.25, and pausing...

I can't believe Fight Club is 25 years old. It blew my head off when I saw it upon release and it hasn't changed. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Historically, candle makers, leather tanners, glue and soap makers were often relegated to the same districts, to control the stinks.

This film always makes me think of when Meat Loaf died. Edward said he never took home things from set. But he had picture of Meat Loaf hugging him. He said it always made him smile.

26:00 "These are such good themes, I never see anyone talking about this." Because we followed the rules, Seb.

in the guided meditation scene , the penguin represents the modern man , a bird that doesn't fly ,

You're talking about 'Guts', the short story 😂 Palahniuk is my favourite author, he and Fincher were made for each other! Palahniuk has the most interesting backstory as well. I think it was Soft White Underbelly who did an interview with him about his background, you should definitely watch it!

the flickering fits with how films were in cinema around that year, you had to watch it on a reel being projected and every now and then youd get those circles on the screen , those flickers and stuff like that so its kinda perfect that its used for the plot .

Heh, I like how you made the joke about "Me and Batman are never in the same room together" without realizing that you were thiiiis close to guessing the twist. Also, good for you for picking up on Tyler's hypocrisy and somewhat bullshit philosophy. Yeah, he makes some good points about modern issues, but most of his "solutions" to those issues are mean, unhelpful, or actively harmful.

Never heard the phrase “grief thief” before but I’m going to be remembering that one. So many people I know are exactly that.

Soap is indeed made from fat plus lye (sodium hydroxide). Although most soap is made with vegetable fats these days, animal fats like lard and beef tallow can also be used for soap. The fat you start with helps to determine the feel/consistency of the soap. Homemade soap nerds know that the fatty acid blends -- both the chain lengths (usually 12, 14, 16, or 18 carbon atoms) and what percent of the carbon bonds are saturated -- affect things like how soft the soap is, how easily it forms suds, how it responds to cold water vs hot, how creamy the lather feels, and how it responds to different skin pH's. Animal fats are usually rich in longer (creamier) fatty acids, and also higher in fatty acids with 100% carbon bond saturation, but those actually make the soap kind of useless in cold water. Modern hand soaps often start with olive oil, a nice middle-ground choice, and maybe add some coconut or palm oil if they want a creamier feel. (Not a soap nerd myself, but my ex is one.) The chemical burn is from lye. When dry (anhydrous) lye touches moisture, it releases a huge amount of heat as it dissolves. The water in your skin counts as "moist" for these purposes, especially if sweaty. As the lye dissolves it starts to saponify the fats in your skin's cell membranes, i.e. turn your skin into soap and glycerine, which releases more heat. Soap creation is actually a fairly violent series of chemical reactions, and doing it slowly enough to keep the temperature under control is a big part of the process.

On the note of not sleeping, sometimes my insomnia gets bad enough where I am awake for multiple days at a time.... then I start hallucinating... the visual ones can be easy to ignore after a while, but when you are finally dozing off alone, and someone whispers in your ear.... or touches your shoulder... Well, it's a heck of an adrenaline rush that makes it even harder to sleep.

This came out 25yrs ago, and it's still so relevant.

Notice how the camera shook when he hosed the priest? That's cause the camera guy was laughing so hard. If you really listen, you can actually hear it.

The thing about villains who "are right" is that they are willing to burn to ashes everything else in the name of their cause, and usually "the cause" has a huge flare of ego on it that can show up in many ways. In Tyler's case his sollution to all this societal problems was literally imploding society from the inside out with him as central figure

The ‘I am Jacks’ sayings are so cool. You can use them for literally anything.

Lol, the pretty boy is Jared Letto the bleached hair looks so different many miss it

Insomnia isn’t “oh I barely laid down last night.” It’s day 3 of no sleep, voices sound weird, your visions giving out, and still you can’t sleep. You can feel the bags in your eyes but can’t stop it. Depression does crazy things to the human brain.

More movie recommendations: 1917 Shindlers list The Wolf of wall street Catch me if you can Oppenheimer Society of the snow Wonka Avatar Captain Philips All quiet on the western front Keep up the good work Seb 😀

Now you know why he actually has insomnia. All those odd jobs Tyler had, they were his.

Been waiting ages for this! Thanks for all the content :)

This is one of those movies well worth a rewatch once you know the twist. So much that happens is telegraphing it once you know.

Dude, you are VERY wrong about insomnia. When I say I didn't sleep, I mean exactly that. I might nod off for a minute, but I jolt awake again almost immediately. My mind races a million mile an hour and nothing will slow it down. I've been dealing with that crap for twenty years now and it is not fun. The first 48 hours with no sleep are pretty normal. Any longer than that and things start to get weird. My longest bout was six days and on day seven I went to the hospital. There comes a point where you can't tell if you're really awake or not. What they're talking about here is not 'trouble sleeping.' It is much, much worse than all that.

A few neat things about this movie. Brad Pitt worked out constantly, got tanned, and essentially became more and more healthy looking from start to finish. Meanwhile, Edward Norton did the opposite. he practically starved himself, didn't work out at all, and avoided the sun. This results in Tyler looking better and better as he takes control, while Narrator withers away. The s*x scene of Tyler and Marla had a different line initially. I don't know if I'd be allowed to post it on RU-vid so you'll have to look it up. The censors said absolutely not, and Fincher said he'd change it, but they cannot veto the replacement. They agreed, and now we have the grade school comment. Every scene has a Starbucks cup, representing how the coffee company seems to be literally everywhere.

The thing about 'guys whose favorite film is Fight Club, is that a lot of the toxic masculinity, incel, alpha-male types completely misinterpret this film because they never read the book. They completely miss the examples of toxic-masculinity, mental health, and personal growth. Tyler even goes so far as to mock self-improvement and that is the genius of it, but some people need the "Idiot's Guide" version too. It puts a mirror up to this kind of mentality and exposes it for what it is: not something to be emulated. It is just presented in a very raw, ironic, and gritty nature so MEN can relate to it. SO MUCH of the book was cut for the film. That is why so many WOMEN love Fight Club the book, it has nothing to do with Brad Pitt. Also, don't know if Seb knows this but Lorena Bobbit actually did cut her husband's pen!s off and threw it from the car as she drove down the highway, six years before this movie came out. She was found not guilty due to temporary insanity and John had his member re-attached after a nine hour surgery. Yes, as far back as Ancient Rome man has made soap from rendered animal fat.

The author of the book (Chuck Palahniuk) liked the film better than his novel because he thinks Fincher captured the love triangle of Tyler, Marla, and the narrator. I personally like the film better because I love the ending of "Tyler Succeeds, the economy is irrecoverably bombed."

Love seeing these 40+ min videos

1998 and 1999 were incredible years for movies. I saw this on the big screen - the audience went wild. SO good.

Gotta watch Mr. Robot. Absolutely amazing show and I think you'd love it. I'm a bit biased since I work in Cybersecurity, but it's about as close to accuracy as you'll get on what hacking is actually like in real life. Timelines are greatly sped up and make it look much quicker than it would really be, but it's mostly pretty legit otherwise.

Omg I’ve been waiting so long for this!! HES DONE ITTT

Motor oil makes for great fertilizer; it has the electrolytes that plants crave.

Let me tell you from experience for being awake for a week straight by the third day you start feeling loopy and by the 5th,6th your hallucinating

There's a fan theory that not only Tyler Durden, but also Marla Singer as well as the entirety of the militia of men working for project chaos were all hallucinations in Ed Norton's Character's head. It sort of cooked my noodle the first time I heard it, but upon re-watching the film it kind of clicks into place in some parts of the movie.

I am so happy that you finally watched fight club. This is the reaction video of yours that I've always been hoping for !!

Should watch Wanted I think its a pretty dope movie

Title broke rule 1 of ----- ----

The scenes of them trying to get a stranger to fight with them feel so out of place and hilarious 😂 Also yes to the pre programming 👀

9:30 No, what he just described is very real and all major companies from Toyota to Taco Bell and everything in between if recalling a product for some defect costs more than NOT recalling and just paying out for injuries they will keep running the product. 12:00 john bobbitt, I remember this happened in either '92 or '93 I don't remember exactly but it happened before I ended up in my current city so it wasn't 1994+... 24:09 He just said "Armalite Armalite 10" AR means Armalite 44:17 oh no, this is Fincher he made his own ending and The Author Chuck (who I have been told Chuck is God) likes this ending more than his own.

During the speech when Tyler says "rockstars" he looks right at Jerod Leto's face, aka the frontman from 30 Seconds to Mars (and the asshole from suicide squad)

Damn. The films that came out back in the day were literally too good for words. I can't believe there are those who believe the shallow, gratuitous garbage that Hollywood releases these days even deserves to stand in the shadow of masterpieces like this.

Thank fucking god seb. Yes! I like where u are going... yesterday with divergent and now with fight club...fucking hell i was tired of complaining about the kid friendly content...keep doing these for the sake of your channel.

I love fight club, growing up I thought it was all about consumerism and nihilism but I realized years later like the author said: its a love story. He tried filling his life with things to give himself meaning, then he tried to replace it with tearing it all down and losing all meaning, from things make you special to you are nothing. Both of these are just extremes people go to to avoid addressing their true feelings and issues and in the end what he needed wasn't the system or tearing down the system, it was Marla. They needed each other, it was something so simple and in his face but he didn't realize it until the end.

I know this movie has been hijacked by a certain type of people, but man, it is so good

Well, from what I know from buying massive amounts of handmade soap (sounds crazy but I don't get eczema anymore, plus there are a lot of soapmakers on RU-vid that are very influential); soap is a fat or oil combined with lye. There are soaps made out of tallow or animal lard, so it may be possible to make soap out of human fat. Plus, there are so many recipes to make soap. I prefer handmade soap because it's more moisturizing. Apparently, the store bought stuff, they take out the glycerin in their soap for probably another product, but you end up with soap that dries your skin out

Don't be careful with steroids. Just don't take steroids unless they are prescribed to you by a doctor for a medical condition that can be improved with steroids. Don't use steroids to increase muscle mass or for any other self-prescribed reason.

If you're paying attention in the beginning, you'll notice that you can see blips of Tyler before he's introduced.

Fight Club isn’t Conservative, alt-right, or red pilled. Another example of the lack of education, specifically media literacy. It’s the same principle behind Fascists thinking Starship Troopers promotes authoritarianism rather than satirizing and mocking Fascists and American Exceptionalism.

4:11 BROOO

Did you notice that Tyler pops up a couple of times in split seconds. You don’t really notice until you know where and when to look.

I remember introducing this movie to my brother about 15 years ago. Some 20 minutes in, he said, "I bet Marla doesn't exist." Then, 20 minutes later, he said, "Oh, okay. It's Tyler who doesn't exist." I couldn't believe it.

Definitely somewhere in my top 10 movies of all time

There's also a really disgusting detail in the fridge that's a nod to the book. See that gross bag of unmentionables? Marla's mom asked her to store her collagen for her for injections, and Tyler stole it to make soap.

I've been taken aside into the inspection room by TSA for 'ayo' stuff. Humiliating is an understatement.

This movie 🫦 The Chaos The ending “Where is my Mind” -Pixies God what a fcking Masterpiece ❤

So this guy was in coma for the last 25-30 years , woke up and decided to see every movie ever made 😅

I am Jack's septic eye

U need to watch trainspotting!

22:34 my grandfather is actually making soap this way, but not with human fat, he is using pork fat instead

there was a Darryl Dixon ad right when this guy was talking about spliced bananas..

Such an iconic film

One time my bags got inspected and I had a stress ball shaped like a boob, as a funny gift. When the inspector asked, I said it was a "novelty stress reliever", and they looked confused, then smiled and nodded at me with a knowing wink. It was like "No, I swear it's not an embarrassing sex thing! It's just a gag!"

There is no way bro has not seen grave encounters yet the hell

seb please watch saltburn! if you like the twist in this im sure you will enjoy what saltburn has to offer (:

u need to watch shutter island ur welcome

This is one of my top 5 movies, which also includes... The Shawshank Redemption One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Goodfellas

YESSSSSS IVE WAITED FOR THIS ONE

Book ending was way more ambiguous, and bleak. He blacks out, wakes up in a hospital, and for a second he thinks he's dead Then he finds out the hospital employees are members too, and they're waiting for Tyler to come back In other words: people that are supposed to help you are the ones hurting you

You NEED to watch Death to Smoochy next !!!

You look like Tyler Durden in the second half 😂

MY DAD SHOWED ME THIS MOVIE YESTERDAY AND I LOVE IT

Wow, after all the family-friendly fare lately, this is quite a swerve (and a welcome one). 1999 was an amazing year for cinema. Cheers and salutations from across the pond. 🥃☮❤

Bro Your have to react to snow piercer, is one of the best Chris Evans movies

Fun fact: Brad Pitt said once he was on a set where he went hours and hours without eating so in his movies he now likes to film while snacking so he will never be hungry again 😂😂😂😂

6:45 i used to have REALLY bad sleep schedule, around my 17-20s i would sometimes not sleep for 2 days straight. I'm not exaggerating, and it's horrible, you feel annoyed, you feel like a zombie and when you do go to sleep it takes soooo long. In fact there was a guy who had the infamous record of not sleeping over two weeks and it ruined his life.

So happy you did this, I’ve waited for so long🐐

seb should definitely watch mr robot

5:28 "Grief Thief" 🤓👍 yessir.. that is the word. Thank you for that ❇️☺️🙏

My fav thing about fight club is that it is actually a feminist, anti-capitalist film advocating against toxic masculinity and encouraging men to be more emotionally expressive, loving, authentic and to go to therapy.... Disguised as a violent, obnoxious, bro film about the pinnacle of masculinity. One of my fav films of all time.

if you read the book you can actually see how much better the movie adaptation is and how much Fincher actually changes the story and plot in comparison to the book. Even Chuck Palahniuk admits how much better Fincher made the story.

such a great film

Can't miss a seb upload.

25:52 Brad Pitt looked Jared Leto right in his face when he said "We believed that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods and ROCK STARS" because Jared Leto actually was a rock star at the time

You should definitely watch se7en it’s so good and it has Brad Pitt

Now you can watch Bottoms!! XD

I'm just gonna have to start a petition to get Seb to watch Surfs Up

You should watch Norbit sometime. It is really funny😂

11:57 Lorena Bobbitt

Watching this movie at 16, put my mind at ease about a lot of things, social and career things but it made me nihilistic, lazy and complacent. I'm still working on caring more and being more productive. Or perhaps it wasn't the movie and it's just me, idk.

Love this Movie

Ive been waiting for this

Fun fact, Tyler Durden wasn't the only character he invented. He also imagined Marla

The punch in the ear was improved my Ed and the director, brads reaction was authentic

HBC❤
