Has anybody thought about something here. Edward norton's character the narrator which Is his supposed name? Why do you think he used his name? Tyler for Tyler Durden. He fought against his boss, whose name was Tyler. But apparently he is Tyler, but is that his real name? Or is that his fantasy name for his alter Ego? Maybe he came up with the name. Tyler because of his boss. Maybe his true name is Tyler. Tyler Brad Pitt is revealed to be here's alter ego, but is his name actually Tyler, or is it actually something else we don't know. Maybe it's Cornelius, or whatever other names he gave at those other help groups.
“We were all raised to believe we were gonna be Millionaires, Rock Stars, and Movie Gods. And we’re starting to come to the realization that we Won’t. And we are Really Pissed Off.” This is quite possibly the most accurate statement Ever made about Generation X.
@@BintyMcFrazzles The Book was published in 1996. The Movie was released in 1999. Everyone in the movie, with the exception of Meatloaf, was a member of Gen X. And it came out when we were all in our mid to late 20’s and early 30’s, the same age as all the main characters involved in the story. The quote from the movie is obviously in reference to X. “We are the Middle Children of History”, is a direct reference to Gen X. We were the First generation to all have genuine expectations of being Rock Stars, Movie Stars and Millionaires, and the Last generation to really know a world without the Internet. Between The Boomers and the Millennials we have basically been forgotten. And Z, who wasn’t even born at the time, can’t even be bothered to draw a distinction between Us and the Boomers, despite the fact that we have always hated them.
@@scottgraves8503 I know that, I am a Gen X'er myself. I'm just saying I *wanted* to be a rock star, but knew it wouldn't happen - always got to have the dream, though. 😊😉
He made a comment when he started beating himself up, in front of his boss, he said, "this reminds me of my first fight with Tyler...". The reason it reminded him of that was because his first fight with Tyler, he was beating himself up also. There was no Tyler to be in his first fight with Tyler.
@@ym5891 This incredibly original theatrical concept was gritty and raw on the surface but offered an intelligent and well constructed underlying story for more astute viewers to immerse themselves into. You observations are absolutely 💯 correct in my opinion. As always I love JL reactions as well.
If you rewatch it, pay close attention to the Marla character. Once they start having sex, she gives it away in basically every scene. Such a genius character.
"His name is Robert Paulson!" RIP Meatloaf. I watched a reaction from a dude that went from "This Sucks!" to "You Have My Attention!" and finally "Greatest Movie Of All Time!" much like a three act structure. Fun Fact: Author Chuck Palahniuk first came up with the idea for the novel after being beaten up on a camping trip when he complained to some nearby campers about the noise of their radio. When he returned to work, he was fascinated to find that nobody would mention or acknowledge his injuries. Palahniuk concluded that the reason people reacted this way was because if they asked him what had happened, a degree of personal interaction would be necessary, and his workmates simply didn't care enough to connect with him on a personal level. It was his fascination with this societal 'blocking' which became the foundation for the novel. Author Chuck Palahniuk has stated that he found the film to be an improvement on his novel. Fake Bombs Fact: Tyler Durden was originally going to recite a workable recipe for home-made explosives (as he does in the novel). But in the interest of public safety, the filmmakers decided to substitute fictional recipes for the real ones. Beautiful Mess Fact: During the shooting of the film, Helena Bonham Carter insisted that her makeup artist (Julie Pearce) apply all of her eye makeup with her left hand, because Bonham-Carter felt that Marla was not a person who would be particularly skilled at (or concerned with) correctly applying makeup.
"Palahniuk concluded that the reason people reacted this way was because if they asked him what had happened, a degree of personal interaction would be necessary, and his workmates simply didn't care enough to connect with him on a personal level." That's very insightful and he's probably right.
@@fionamclaren8506 I have to admit, after reading his books and seeing him in interviews, if he was my coworker and I didn't know who he was I'd probably stay away from him too lol.
He was crying because it was venting the emotions he couldn't release any other way. He is trapped, suffering and the emotional release of knowing you're not the only one in pain and having someone to know you can struggle with in solidarity can make some people hold on.
Honestly, I'd be down to watch a 'second viewing' reaction with this one. Late 90s/early 00s had a rash of films that hit differently on the re-watch..
the rewatch is a must with it. theres a lot in there to notice, and when you know that he is a narrator, showing us his idealised version, its a whole other movie.
I love at the beginning when you looked at the camera in distress and complained the music is too loud. Then cut to you headbanging immediately afterwards!
Holy crap I just noticed something I never saw before watching your reaction! 😱 on your video @ 3:55 when he's talking about insomnia and at the copy machine saying everyone is a copy, there is a flash of Tyler in front of the pole as the guy pushes the cart on the left
This might be selfish of me, but I kinda want to watch Jay's second viewing. "This ain't how the movie starts, it's how it ends" "Am I trippin' or is that when Tyler was born?" "It wasn't doo doo water, it was rusty pipes " "How did Marla get Tyler's phone number if they split up the sessions before the apt blew up?" "No glove, no love" "She was saying something about loving a dress intensely for one day and threw it away, as she thought she was talking to her lover who wanted her to leave." This movie has so many details that mean different things the more you see it again.
Fun fact: After this movie came out, Brigham Young University hit the news for having a lot of their students in a Fight Club. Now one of them is the cohost of Cinema Therapy here on UA-cam.
actually, the doctor is the one responsible. he didn't even try to help him. he sent him down the cry for liberation road. typical phsicians. the most overvalued ppl in our society. they basiclly ruined my life multiple times.
Edward Norton accidently hit Brad Pitt in the ear & Brad's reaction was real. This is based on a book & the author actually wrote a sequel in 2015 that was turned into a comicbook miniseries & I just found out that he wrote a 3rd sequel that was also turned into a comicbook miniseries in 2019. The narrator suffers from dissociative personality.
With this classic, the more you watch it the better. I saw it in the theaters and enjoyed every second of it. When the movie ended my mind was gone. Great reaction sir like always. Re-watch it to truly appreciate how well done this movie was. All your questions will be answered.
Ozzie and Harriet Nelson were considered a "model" television couple in the 1950s. Their son was singer Rick Nelson, who was the father of Mathew and Gunner Nelson -- remember the pop metal band Nelson from the 90s?? -- I enjoy your channel!
"Aw nah! We're killing him... Tyler's dying tonight!" Jeezaaas! That got me good🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya gotta love J for knowing his boundaries as a man tho'.... we could all learn something off that kinda energy I suppose 😏
Omg. Absolutely a great reaction as always. In blank we trust. Gl with Jayloween. Please rewatch this. Please rewatch it every now and then cuz it never gets old. Thank you for dragging me out of some recent bad times. Blank I see you and your editing. Don't think I'm leaving you out. Love this duo, love this channel. You'll see me on PATREON tomorrow, garunteed.
I figured out the twist when the narrater said "I was always one step behind Tyler" in each city he went to. I saw this in the theater before the internet, before movies got spoiled. I like Maria, you think she's crazy, but she's normal and Edward Norton is the crazy one.
We are a passionate fan base and I know the first time I watched it I would have thought id gone crazy if I was told it would be my all time favorite movie. That writing and dark humor is everything in it. The speech Tyler gives where he says Were the middle children of history man. Our great War is a spiritual war our great depression is our lives. Its funny because all the red flags are there we see them and you're discomfort is the glorified pervasive way it snowballs into this militant chaotic cult of anti consumerism. The twist and rewatch reveals a lot. The loss of male role models and the social pressures of being expected to succeed and have all the answers in the modern world has led a lot of people in general to feel nothing... purposeless that desire to belong/understand/express/feel is why Tyler's able to create all of this. His personality is everything the narrator wishes he could be confident, strong, charismatic, aware, intelligent, etc. Its more about the way he says things effortlessly while doing radical things ... opposing what's normal. He's the antihero ... I mean the movie itself calls out advertising marketing etc Yet they don't hide the marketing and advertiser branding in the film I'm the end its really supposed to be this coming of age male movie and its ironic that its a buyer beware identity crisis philosophical mindfuckery that mocks itself and all you expected was a stupid boxing club movie....
100% That's how I see the movie. Also my all-time favorite. They say the Great Gatsby was a book about the 1920s so accurate that people who were there will tell you that he captured the vibe and the highs and lows of a generation. For me, a child of the 1970s and early 1980s....i can say that about Fight Club.
I walked into a strip mall off base in Norfolk to find a theater called Cinema Cafe. Found out they served food and beers (back when that was new), so five Sam Adams later I saw Tyler say, "you've met me at a very strange time in my life." Best drunk movie of my life, and maybe even my last flick of the 20th century.
Out of the 5+ times I seen this movie, I just now realized while he was beating himself up in the office, he says to himself "this reminds me of my first fight with Tyler" 🤦🏼♂️
Hearing The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" at the end gives me chills every time. Perfect song for the perfect moment. RIP Meatloaf (aka Robret Paulson). Also, great low-key performance by Jared Leto as the pretty-faced blonde.
Excellent reaction. Though I do not for the life me know, how you escaped the 90's without seeing this awesome flick. "Doo Doo Water" had me me busting up 😆😆👍
I love this movie. Whenever I re-watch it I feel so bad for Marla When the narrator shoots himself, if you slow it down, you can see the bullet ricochets off his molar and out his cheek The coolest thing in the movie: After the car crash Tyler pulls the narrator out of the driver side of the car
@@J_EOMReacts Same with mine. Honestly, dogs are my preferred company. I'll take a house full of dogs over a house full of humans 365 days out of the year.
33:08 Imagine getting praise and a pat on the head from the guy for admire then for seemingly no reason he beats you half to death. so weird thinking about these scenes from the perspective of the other members of the group.
lol, thanks for the reaction video. I always laughed at him kicking the crap out of himself in front of his boss, I must be psycho since you’re reaction was WTF! 😉
In the book he actually kills himself at the end. The shot through the cheek is kind of inconsistent because why would Tyler not just have a hole in his cheek. But it leads to a cool shot of him and Marla watching the buildings blow up
If you like Edward Norton you should watch "Leaves of Grass" it is so funny, Norton plays twin brothers, one a straight arrow & the other a small-time pot grower.
This was such an excellent reaction, especially at the end. I also hope JL got those two inches back after seeing the rubber band bathroom scene. 😂 God bless you guys with excellence!
33:20 after the accident Tyler pulls Edward Norton from the driver's side of the car. Big clue to the [spoiler] I hope you go back and see what I mean J and or blank.
I don't think I've ever seen you speechless. 🤣 There were times your mouth was open & you were trying to say something - but nothing - which said it all. 🤣
Lack of sleep can do some serious damage. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. As in I choke and stop breathing in my sleep. Before I was diagnosed and started using a CPAP, I could sleep as much as I could and not feel rested. It was awful
Technically, it’s not do do water. It’s rust. It happens in old houses sometimes. I have mostly copper pipes in my house, and if I don’t use a tap for awhile, when I turn it on, it comes out green! Because copper turns green from oxidation.
Hey man glad you got around to this one, it was really funny as usual I’m gonna try to answer your question as to how something like fight club and project mayhem could exist, A lot of people work jobs they hate, society is constantly pushing a product or a message that can be viewed as essentially useless, some people see that society has trapped us into these rat races that we don’t necessarily want to part take in, a lot of people view human society and it’s deviations from a nomadic lifestyle as unfulfilling and a life not lived, say your someone who hate all of these things and your trapped in these loops that aren’t necessarily how you would choose to live your life, then this crazy dude Tyler comes along you see him beating himself up in a parking lot you ask him What’s going on and he tells you he’s having a fight with a guy who isn’t there, your gonna get curious about him, then you start hanging out with him and he starts saying all this philosophical shit that resonates with all the points I just mentioned and that’s how a person like Tyler gets followers.
Also fighting feels good. Two men fight so one has to win. Imagine how boring it all is till ya hear all the cheers and claim victory. You throw that at one of 'those people' and you got them hooked. Every new guy has to fight so... Doubt half of them will win but even if they fight all the time just one win and that feeling might be enough so they'd follow you. The ones ya talking about being treated like shit and finally being accepted with people admiring their talent. Just like how much people are hooked to tech with checking email more than 3 times a day is kicking in too much selfmade drugs into your system. Imagine how powerful Tyler's set is. Your brain might not be able to take it without getting hooked or just changing you as a person.
Damn, another movie I haven’t seen before so I can’t watch your reaction to this yet. Will come back once I’ve seen it myself. I enjoy your reactions. 😀😀
Hey EOM. Sorry I haven't been commenting as much as usual with odd facts, started a new job working night shift 2weeks ago. This movie has Brad Pitt in it for 9 frames before Edward Norton meets him on the plane. Also the Chinese government blocked this movie until last year when they cut the ending short and added a text that says everyone was caught by the police and spent the rest of their life in jail.
That condo was my life, okay? I loved every stick of furniture in that place. That was not just a bunch of stuff that got destroyed, it was ME! "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter" - Yoda "we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives" - Tyler
I think it’s time for Fincher’s masterpiece- “zodiac.” It’ll bowl you right out of your chair, out of your house, down the block...all the way to Oscar’s groovy downtown dance hall.

I so wanted to see your reaction to the first and second rules of FC.
Addition: a Tyler incident is a perfect description of what happened
We had the first time you hear the rules in the reaction but Fox kept flagging it so Blank had to edit it out.
you gotta watch "The Game" starring Micheal Douglas and Sean Penn. it's another thriller worth watching
Also directed by Fincher.
It’s on the list

"Brad Pitt's always eating" is a very astute observation. Pitt himself has described himself as a "grazer".
Lol every movie I seen him in he’s eating or drinking
I think Tyler was a tulpa. Basically a thought form that the more you believe in it the more real it becomes
"are they becoming skinheads?" had me rolling.

"Doo Doo Water" had me me busting up 😆😆👍
Very nice reaction ! That ending always get me
It had me like 🤯🤯🤯
I love this movie. Whenever I re-watch it I feel so bad for Marla
When the narrator shoots himself, if you slow it down, you can see the bullet ricochets off his molar and out his cheek
The coolest thing in the movie: After the car crash Tyler pulls the narrator out of the driver side of the car
It’s crazy how much you can notice the more you watch it
He just farted and scared himself is hilarious! It reminds me of the shorts when they put a mic behind the pooch. 😂😂😂
Man, I love how much you love dogs.
They my babies
@@J_EOMReacts Same with mine. Honestly, dogs are my preferred company. I'll take a house full of dogs over a house full of humans 365 days out of the year.
@@p-mac8413 same
33:08 Imagine getting praise and a pat on the head from the guy for admire then for seemingly no reason he beats you half to death.
so weird thinking about these scenes from the perspective of the other members of the group.
lol, thanks for the reaction video. I always laughed at him kicking the crap out of himself in front of his boss, I must be psycho since you’re reaction was WTF! 😉
🤣🤣🤣 I felt like his boss
That was awesome!
To watch a few more times is definitely a good idea. You will pick up on more s... watching it multiple times.
Lol I might thru a 2nd time watch on patreon
😀once again, you made my lousy day better. Thank you buddy!!!
I’m glad I could help
That's first and second rule lol. Every movie with these two are awesome lol
They are two of my favorites
In the book he actually kills himself at the end. The shot through the cheek is kind of inconsistent because why would Tyler not just have a hole in his cheek. But it leads to a cool shot of him and Marla watching the buildings blow up
In my mind he still killed himself in the movie
If you like Edward Norton you should watch "Leaves of Grass" it is so funny, Norton plays twin brothers, one a straight arrow & the other a small-time pot grower.
Will add it to the list
One of the most culturally iconic, visually stunning, expertly directed and acted American films of the 21st century.
(20th) but, yeah
love it. when i first saw this it was at a after party an i was slightly altered so it really blew my mind
This was such an excellent reaction, especially at the end. I also hope JL got those two inches back after seeing the rubber band bathroom scene. 😂 God bless you guys with excellence!
Hahahaha...
Your reactions...priceless !!!...
One of the craziest rides in movies...
Hi J..🙋...🌿🌿🌿
Hey Pam, I’m glad you enjoyed and it was definitely a fun watch
I searched awhile back for Deadpool's "Did I leave the stove on?" line, and only recognized THIS is where it came from months ago!
This was another great reaction dude.
Hahahahaha, you're whole minute-to-minute reaction was hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 💀
Lol I’m glad you enjoyed
One of my favorite films of all time. To me, it’s what I consider a flawless film, as close to cinematic perfection as a film can get.
LOL *stays in shock for 1 whole minute after the aircrash-dream*
Lol I was mentally hurt
"You can't die from insomnia." Hell yes you can. 😄
18:39 Oh I can't wait to see your face at the end of the movie =))
Also, real mindfack - Marla may also be a figment of his imagination.
What a great reaction!
Thank you
I always try to imagine the scene in the car, from one of the guys sitting in the backseat.
33:20 after the accident Tyler pulls Edward Norton from the driver's side of the car. Big clue to the [spoiler]
I hope you go back and see what I mean J and or blank.
I’m have to check that out
I don't think I've ever seen you speechless. 🤣 There were times your mouth was open & you were trying to say something - but nothing - which said it all. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I was over there mentally hurt
@@J_EOMReacts
🤣🐾🤣 Even the co-pilots said "WTF?!"
if you like Ed Norton, check out "25th Hour", dirrected by Spike Lee. great, highly underrated movie
Lack of sleep can do some serious damage. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. As in I choke and stop breathing in my sleep. Before I was diagnosed and started using a CPAP, I could sleep as much as I could and not feel rested. It was awful
That shit sucks. I have one of those too
Loved it!!! I saw this movie when it came out. Quintessential Gen-X movie. Instant classic!
It’s a good one for sure
Did you notice that was the singer Meatloaf playing Bob in the movie? He did a great job
I didn’t know who Meatloaf was until today
@@J_EOMReacts well, now you must watch Rocky Horror Picture Show after listening to "I would do anything for love (But I won't do That)"
Hey bro how you doing?? Checkin in on you on the copilots, I’ll join your patreon on payday…
We been doing good. How’s things your way? And totally appreciate that. Thank you 🙏🏾
Technically, it’s not do do water. It’s rust. It happens in old houses sometimes. I have mostly copper pipes in my house, and if I don’t use a tap for awhile, when I turn it on, it comes out green! Because copper turns green from oxidation.
lmao you get a like in the first 5 seconds for " AKA The Murder Whistle" that line killed me when you watched American History X
hahaha amazing review man 🤠
Thank you 🙏🏾
Love the 48 minutes of perplexed wtf facial expression.
This is probably my favorite movie about mental illness. I could really relate to it when I was younger.
It’s a great movie
That was great ! You should watch “300” ! That will blow your socks off.
I’ve seen 300 and I love it
Hey man glad you got around to this one, it was really funny as usual
I’m gonna try to answer your question as to how something like fight club and project mayhem could exist,
A lot of people work jobs they hate, society is constantly pushing a product or a message that can be viewed as essentially useless, some people see that society has trapped us into these rat races that we don’t necessarily want to part take in, a lot of people view human society and it’s deviations from a nomadic lifestyle as unfulfilling and a life not lived, say your someone who hate all of these things and your trapped in these loops that aren’t necessarily how you would choose to live your life, then this crazy dude Tyler comes along you see him beating himself up in a parking lot you ask him
What’s going on and he tells you he’s having a fight with a guy who isn’t there, your gonna get curious about him, then you start hanging out with him and he starts saying all this philosophical shit that resonates with all the points I just mentioned and that’s how a person like Tyler gets followers.
Also fighting feels good. Two men fight so one has to win. Imagine how boring it all is till ya hear all the cheers and claim victory. You throw that at one of 'those people' and you got them hooked. Every new guy has to fight so... Doubt half of them will win but even if they fight all the time just one win and that feeling might be enough so they'd follow you. The ones ya talking about being treated like shit and finally being accepted with people admiring their talent. Just like how much people are hooked to tech with checking email more than 3 times a day is kicking in too much selfmade drugs into your system. Imagine how powerful Tyler's set is. Your brain might not be able to take it without getting hooked or just changing you as a person.
Great reaction! You finally get the joke!🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Great film reaction...sir.
Thank you
Damn, another movie I haven’t seen before so I can’t watch your reaction to this yet. Will come back once I’ve seen it myself. I enjoy your reactions. 😀😀
Hey EOM. Sorry I haven't been commenting as much as usual with odd facts, started a new job working night shift 2weeks ago.
This movie has Brad Pitt in it for 9 frames before Edward Norton meets him on the plane. Also the Chinese government blocked this movie until last year when they cut the ending short and added a text that says everyone was caught by the police and spent the rest of their life in jail.
I understand completely. Sometimes life catch up to you. I’m glad to see you back though
That condo was my life, okay? I loved every stick of furniture in that place. That was not just a bunch of stuff that got destroyed, it was ME!
"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter" - Yoda
"we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives" - Tyler
I think it’s time for Fincher’s masterpiece- “zodiac.” It’ll bowl you right out of your chair, out of your house, down the block...all the way to Oscar’s groovy downtown dance hall.
That is definitely on the list
I hope you were able to settle everything with UA-cam in your favor. Glad to see the video is up!
Took 4-5 edit tweaks, but seems we finally got it.
@@EOMReacts Great 😃
I have to say I never laugh as hard as I do when I watch your reactions.
