What was the point of the movie "Fight CLub"?

Question

I mean i really liked it and stuff but at the end of it I was wicked confused...........

Answer 1

Try watching it again after you know that edward norton and brad pitt are the same person you will pick up on little things- like they never say edward norton's name, and when they own the house no one ever talks to both characters at the same time...the moral behind it? probably that everyone has a side to them who they wish they could be- something like that

Answer 2

Yeah, most of these people are right. If you watch the movie a second time knowing that Tyler and the narrator are the same person, then it's easier to understand the plot. Specifically, at the end, when the narrator shoots himself he is (symbolically) destroying the imaginary Tyler Durden- created out of the narrator's mind because he wanted action in his life.

Also... read the book. Books these days are highly underrated because of the prominence of a-list actors (e.g. Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden), but the written Fight Club involves the reader with the action- something occasionally lost on the big screen.

Answer 3

The point of fight club is greed and power and how dangerous it can be. The idea of blowing up all the credit beureas is so that everyone will brought back to down to the same level as far as there credit goes. Imagine if you had the same credit line as bill gates. The end result will probably be very chaotic, But in the end it might just enlighten us as to how materialistic society really is. A person is only in power because the people around him make him that way, not because he is powerful. He is just a man.

Answer 4

The point of the movie was that men, in general were getting "soft" because of the age we're living in. And they were drifting away from the "animals" nature intended them to be. So in Fight Club they found a way to bring back the men to their roots, their bloody and animal-like selves as they were ment to be. Not as an exercise in involution, but as a kind of exorcism out of the cultural bounds and tehnical addiction of the modern age.

Answer 5

Brad Pitts character didnt exist and was actually a product of the others imagination. Watch it again keeping this in mind and it'll all make sense. Also, se if you can spot Brad appearing for split second several times during the film...

Answer 6

I have no idea. Watched it years ago and was lost most of the time. I think it was that even the "dorkier" men have a hot tough side too. I got that men are crazy. Husband really liked it and totally got it so I guess it is a man's movie.

Answer 7

Edward Norton's character was really Tyler Durden the whole time. Watch it again and it will make sense.

Edit:

I should have said Tyler Durden was really Ed Norton's character all along...oops. Tyler is the narrators alter ego.

Answer 8

That sometimes if you want to break out of your boring little world, you have to become a whole new person. You may learn much from the experience, but there is always the chance you won't like that new person.

Answer 9

You should read the book then. The movie ending was pure hollywood crap. The book ending was creepy, unexpected, and awesome.

Answer 10

You are kidding yeah? I figured it out when Ed Norton started punching himself in his bosses office and he said that it reminded him of his first fight with Tyler....You don't watch many movies with plots, do you?
