You know whoвЂ™s not miffed at this new ending, Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012.вЂќ First of all, it names the Unnamed Protagonist! But perhaps more importantly, it completely changes FincherвЂ™s ending to be pro-police, pro-credit card debt. вЂњAfter the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. вЂњThrough the clue provided by Tyler, the police figured out the whole plan and arrested all the criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding,вЂќ a translation of the new ending title card circulating on Twitter reads. The ending to Blood Debts (1985 dir Teddy Page) compared to the Chinese version of Fight Club (1999 dir David Fincher) streaming on Tencent Video /0qg3aLnTHv- Aaron Stewart-Ahn January 24, 2022 It is implied that Project Mayhem was successful in wiping out all credit card debt, and we get one last hog spliced in before credits roll. The unedited version of the film ends with Unnamed Narrator Boy (Edward Norton) and Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) holding hands while a credit card companyвЂ™s HQ explodes in the distance. Apparently, the version of the David Fincher film available in China has a tacked on title card ending, with a decidedly more pro-government twist.

This time, the movie is being championed by anti-Chinese censorship folks. Fight Club, second only to The Matrix as film internetвЂ™s most debated and dissected movie, is back in the marketplace of ideas. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt star in the movie, alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, and Jared Leto.I am JackвЂ™s endless film bro discourse. Tencent Video is yet to comment on the edit.ДЇight Club, which IGN names one of the most вЂ90s movies of the 1990s, was directed by David Fincher, with a script from Jim Uhls based on the original novel by Chuck Palahniuk. ItвЂ™s unclear whether government censors in China ordered this new alternative ending, or whether other factors were involved in the abrupt change. вЂњSo, IвЂ™ve been dealing with this kind of revision for like 25 years.вЂќ

вЂњA lot of my overseas publishers have edited the novel so the novel ends the way the movie ends,вЂќ added Palahniuk. But itвЂ™s only an issue once China changes the end of a movie? IвЂ™ve been putting up with book banning for a long time.вЂќДЄdditionally, having his ending changed is nothing new. A lot of public schools and most private schools refuse to carry my books. вЂњThe Texas prison system refuses to carry my books in their libraries. вЂњWhat I find really interesting is that my books are heavily banned throughout the U.S.,вЂќ said Palahniuk. Palahniuk finds the outcry from some American fans to be more than a little ironic: The narrator attempts to shoot himself, but wakes up in a mental hospital вЂ“ he believes he's in heaven, but is approached by two hospital employees who are part of Project Mayhem, and are expecting Tyler's return. The novel ends with Tyler vanishing from the narrator's head, and the bombs malfunctioning and failing to go off. Palahniuk's original ending is amusingly similar, albeit without the involvement of the authorities. вЂњHe was tried and sentenced to a mental asylum. вЂњTyler and the gang were all arrested,вЂќ the author said in a substack newsletter about the change. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012.вЂќ The new movie ending can be found on the Chinese streaming platform Tencent Video, which replaces some of the final scenes with a text-only screen reading: вЂњThe police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding,вЂќ it reads. He is then seen watching bomb explosions that collapse several skyscrapers as The Pixies classic 'Where is My Mind' plays, signaling the toppling of the global economy as the headquarters of international banks are turned to rubble. Have You Seen This Sh*t? This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China! /20UzTi1nyI- Chuck Palahniuk January 25, 2022Дavid FincherвЂ™s original film ending shows Edward NortonвЂ™s narrator killing off his dangerous alter-ego, Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt), with a well-placed gunshot to his own head. вЂњSo, in a way, the Chinese brought the movie back to the book a little bit.вЂќ вЂњThe irony is that the way the Chinese have changed it is theyвЂ™ve aligned the ending almost exactly with the ending of the book, as opposed to FincherвЂ™s ending, which was the more spectacular visual ending,вЂќ he said. During an interview with TMZ, the 59-year-old author of the original novel said that, unlike many movie fans, he isnвЂ™t mad about the new Fight Club ending.
