Fabulous. A black comedy, satire on mass consumerism, “the perfect life”, “perfect job” and so on..
BUT! The ending has me confused. Did he(Edward Norton) die or not? (try not spoil too much for the ones who haven’t watched it yet).
If he died, does that mean Marla and the men from his army died too?
Re: Fight Club
marla and the other members of fight club were all real people...Brad Pitt wasnt, only Ed died..well along with brad...
my memory is kinda crap, but im sure this is what happened...i dont actually remember too much of this movie apart from brad :p
sorry if i spolied it for anyone, but you should have watched it years ago :o
Re: Fight Club
urgh MISSY! You just spoiled it for others who haven't watched it. Can you please edit your reply and limit it to the death discussion(I am passionate about keeping the secrecy of such movies :p)? I am just confused about Ed shooting himself and not dying.
Tyler Durden's or whoevers dual identity is not the part in question here.to be edited
what MM said is right - in order to kill his imagination(Brad) - Norton killed himself..."Fight Club" is one of the most thought-provoking and suspenseful films of all time, and is better than as Fincher's best film along with "Se7en". I had to watch the film twice to fully understand David Fincher's modern instant classic!
Re: Fight Club
I don't think Norton died, although he did manage to kill somebody else :). Then all the other buildings exploded and him and Marla just stood watching.
That movie always surprises me whenever I see it
Re: Fight Club
Cud you people stop dragging the dual identity part in here 
It’s a major spoiler, I wouldn’t wanna rob people of it!
Re: Fight Club
See that's what. Some people think he died, some people think he did not and was just injured. If he died, how can one explain the conversation he had with Marla after shooting himself?
well it’s hard to say without mentioning the dual identity part since you asked:
Did he(Edward Norton) die or not? 
Re: Fight Club
norton did die lovey, tyler was nortan, im sure he died…thats why he was confused as to whether or not shoot tyler.
i will not stop spoliing it for ppl 
everybody’s probably seen it anyway, those who havnt dont deserve too, and i had to spoil it in order to explain
you americans spoil all my movies anyway
Re: Fight Club
You could just say.. Yes he died because a shot through yer skull has to be fatal or NO, he did not because we have cases like Phinneas Gage who have survived an iron rod through the skull. Do you we really have to mention Brad the hottie in here? :p
Re: Fight Club
do u study psychology by any chance?
have u just had a biological psychology lecture?
Re: Fight Club
Miss: really, you keep repeating Brad was Norton's alter ego as if we really haven't gotten that part, let me say it again.. YES WE HAVE! His lack of sleep, his confusion, feeling of being repressed and tied hopelessly to the "perfect" life drew him to insanity and developed a dual identity as a means of "freeing" himself of it all. Brad was everything he wanted to be.. and all that blah,.. YES WE GET IT!
And yes, I love psychology.
:p
Re: Fight Club
sweetheart, chill, i repeated it once.
do u love psychology or do u study it? slight difference pet
iv noticed ur posts are always to do with something regarding psychology.
im asking as i wasted 3 years of my life studying it aswell.
Re: Fight Club
I have taken a few courses, thought of making a career out of it, but it's a long process, it kinda doesn't help my quest of earning my first million before I am 29.
Re: Fight Club
3 year degree, 1 year masters depending on degree outcome, 4 year phd. how old are yer? im sure u have plenty of time.
Re: Fight Club
yeah...8 years of studying only to end up as a clinical psychologist at a uni earning about 80k a year...I'll pass.
Check the profile, I wouldn't wanna say it out loud. :D
Back to Fight Club... If Norton died, what about the conversation he has with Marla, do we have to see it in a spiritual light or something?
Re: Fight Club
i guess the whole point of the marla conversation at the end was intentional, in order to leave the audience confused...think back to what the movie was about :p the scene is there to show us that everything is not what it seems...just like the movie itself tried to achieve...life is not what it seems and all that crap.
Re: Fight Club
CB how about Chess Club
Re: Fight Club
this movie is really confusion but i liked the scene where they stole the liposuction fat from the hospital and made it into soap. real funny!
