Fight Club at Disney+: Brad Pitt and Edward Norton underground
The first rule of the Fight Club is: You don’t say a word about the Fight Club! The fact that this does not work can be seen from the increasing number of participants, because if the frustrated man of today (or in the case of the 90s) wants to let off steam, it works best with mutual violence in the underground club.
At least this is what the protagonist (Edward Norton), who speaks as a sleep and depressed by the consumer society. When he gets to know the charismatic Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), this changes and the two men are changing the fight club, which soon accepts uncontrollable proportions. Until even human life are at stake.

Books of the Fight Club author are partly prohibited in the USA
As The Guardian 2022 reported, the end of Fight Club has been changed for the Chinese cinema to a more positive thing, making it even closer to the novel as Fincher’s version. Author Chuck Palahniuk welcomes this version. On the other hand, there was sharp criticism on social media that the author cannot understand:
What I find really interesting is that mine Books are strongly prohibited throughout the United States [z.B. in Gefängnissen und Schulen]. But is it only a problem when China changes the end of a film? I have been banned by books for a long time.
But not only the American book market has something to complain about Palahniuk’s work. As the author tells, the end of the novel was rewritten in many foreign markets so that it is like Fincher’s film – of course without Palahniuk’s approval.
