    So brad pitt's character never existed in Fight Club?

    took me 3 times to figure this out. Watching again but, Why would anyone join the club.

    It started out pitt and the other dude were fighting and people liked it. So people joined after watching a guy beat himself up?

    The men join because their lives are aimless. They are dissatisfied with their job, career, relationships, consumerist society,spiritual emptiness et al. They seek meaning and Pitt/Norton provide it with their scorched earth philosophy, which is exemplified by the primal ritual of fighting. By fighting they get the men to feel reality, one which is dulled constantly by outside forces. Basically, Pitt/Norton get them to feel themselves. Once they are passed that stage they bore down into the men via the training regiment/teachings and subsequently make them identify/focus on the things they want to accomplish before they die.

    More broadly the philosophy aims to wipe the societal slate clean and wants to strive for the simplistic goals and pleasures that surviving entails. Barring that apocalyptic utopia, they want to wake the men up from the sleeping daze that is their lives, as I previously said before.

    Whether you agree with this or not is up to you to decide.

    Fail 1: It took you 3 viewings to figure it out, wow.
    Fail 2: You just spoiled the entire movie for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

    You're a superstar.

    It's more than a decade old. If there was a statute of limitations for spoiling movies it would have been up a long time ago.

    great movie but once you know brad pitt was fake and go watch again, theres soooooooooooo many holes in the movie. Also, you can see brad pitt flash on the screen throughout the movie for half a second

    They are the same person. Norton existed first but his personality split. Pitt is the epitome of Norton's ideals yet he does not know it. Pitt is everything Norton cannot be yet is because they are one in the same. He comes to realize this.
