In the unauthorised version shown on Tencent Video, Durden is still shot and killed, but the final scene of the buildings exploding is replaced with a black screen and words that say the police discovered the plan, stopped it, and sent the Narrator to an asylum.
So, to clarify… ONE Chinese company recently edited the ending, which the author (edit: author of the book) himself said more closely matches the book…
Sketchy but also not “China censors film!” Considering they basically showed all of it and slapped a title at the end to make it more like the book
Sorta ya sorta naw?
The explosion never happened in the book. Narrator was taken to an assisted care facility/minamal security facility that specialized in treatment and supposedly this was after ‘tylor’ died.
One of the orderlies handing him his pills leans in ‘we’re waiting for you taylor.’ pointing at the idea that no… project mayhem is not dead.’
So while TECHNICALLY closer? The tone is absolutely nothing like the original ending.
argue with the author of the article. it was something i learnt today.
The author of the article said this? I am summarizing YOUR article lol. The movie didn’t come out in 2022, so your post title is misleading
did i write the article?
No you just misread it and misrepresented it on social media! What bad stuff ever came from people doing that /s
I copy and pasted the article paragraph verbatim.
I copy and pasted stuff that fit my headline and ignored where the article said the original author was cool with it and the fact that this literally just happened, not on initial Chinese release of the film
lol k.
Hot take, but it’s not like people understood the plot of that movie anyway, lol.
Take a film/book about toxic masculinity and the dangers of capitalist societies and a bunch of 20 year old boys with daddy issues will forget any message and worship Tyler forever after.
Arguably the movie makes the point harder to see. The book is a lot more clear about it. Similar to A Clockwork Orange
The number of copies of the A Clockwork Orange book that omit the last chapter is too damn high.
Brad Pitt cool guy whatta dude
Kind of like how they killed off Poochie
“Tyler Durden died on his way to prison”
Tyler lost his organs because he was a naughty boy. Don’t be like him.
I guess they really wanted to ignore how Project Mayhem had already infiltrated the police, eh?
That’s only literally part of the plot…
We’re not supposed to talk about this
