Fight Club gets a different ending in China
- PaulHoule 5y agoI am amazed they released Fight Club in China at all.
- jimmyvalmer 5y agoThe outrage over China's edit is unwarranted, or at least inconsistent, given how Fincher's adaptation took generous license with Palahniuk’s ending. If there's some greater lesson to be drawn from Fight Club, then consider me an all-dancing, all-singing snowflake. I was enthralled by the film for its slick noir aesthetics, asceticism (an early twenty-something cannot help but rage against the machine), and the performances, especially Norton's. Now if China removed the closing-credits jump-cut, *that* would be a crime against nature.
- PaulHoule 5y agoGiven that the ending is ambiguous (is it a dream?) it's less violence against the film than it might otherwise be.
