I wish I'd known how good this was a long time ago. I just bought it, and it's gone close to straight to the top of my favourites list. It's seriously just a great film.
I keep hearing people say that the plot is confusing and you get totally lost, but I didn't really think it was confusing at all.
The guy was schizo
, what's confusing about that?
I thought Ed Norton was fantastic in his role. The first person narrative that they used for his character worked wonderfully well.
Brad Pitt was great too. Tyler Durden's outlook on life is... interesting.
 
Its a great film and one which I have had in my DVD collection for many a year. Tyler Durden is one of the greatest characters in films ever.
 
Yes! I love this movie! I was kind of sad because someone accidentally spoiled the ending for me before I watched it, but it didn't really take away from it much. Actually, in my opinion, this is one of the few instances of the movie being better than the book upon which it is based. The book is pretty amazing, but the ending isn't as fitting or as awesome.
 
I saw this around the time that the movie came out (it's been so long, I don't know if I saw it in the theater). Anyway, at the time I thought the movie was absolutely brilliant. Really. Brilliant.

Looking back on it, and after the events in 2001, I have to say that I just don't feel the same way as I did when I saw the movie. Glorifying this sort of activity seems... not so good. I am curious whether a movie like this would get a green light in the US in today's atmosphere.
 
I watched Fight Club in my Film Studies class at school, and it is like my fave movie now. Ed Norton was brilliant, and Brad Pitt was spectacular as well. The new Film teacher at my school just saw it because many of us were saying how great it was, but she doesn't see why we like it so much :P I thought the story was amazing, and it is def at the top of my fave movies list.
 
I've never read the novel, but I've heard a few times that the film is actually better than the book. Still, I'd like to read it just to compare.
 
I have to say, the plot did confuse me a little til tyler durden (the hallucination) explained it to th real tyler durden, but man is it a great film, could you imagine if something like this ever happened in real life?

omg that would give the US a run for their money
 
His name was Jack Moore. That's the name given in the movie anyway, though his name wasn't actually given in the book.

Well there are people who are actually schizophrenics, and probably people who participate in community support groups even though they aren't afflicted with whatever it is, and there probably are people who are part of underground fight clubs. I doubt that any of them try to blow up credit card companies, however.
 
his name is jack moore but later you find out his name is tyler durden like in the flashbacks when he tells a woman tyler durden is not in the house when he is tyler durden
 
I have not watched fight club in a while, but I am sure that is how it goes, just before tyler shoots himself in the head he finds out his alter ego is him
 
Jack Moore is the character played by Ed Norton. Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden. Jack is not Tyler. Tyler is all the things that Jack secretly wishes he was, they are not the same person. Ed Norton remains Jack throughout the film.
 
oh, I am confused, I am sure the last scene says he was hence why so many leave him for no reason
 
I am Actually going to be doing an assignment on this movie, and the book that it's made after. From what has been told to me, is that the main character isn't actually given a name, or a real on at least. I need to watch the movie again to make sure they didn't add one in for him. Tyler Durden was his split personality, not the actual main charcater. The girl only really knew the Tyler Durden side of him, so she thought that was his name. that's why she got pissed when he said Tyler wasn't there.

The final scene? No, they all left him because he asked to be left alone with Marla.

Jack isn't given a name in the book, I believe, but from the scene when he reads all the first person accounts of a person's body parts, the narrator talks about "I am Jack's abdoula ablongatta". So for the film, he was given that name. Not sure where Moore came from though.
