Fight Club (end)

Been a while since I saw this movie, but if you're serious, I think you kind of missed the point XD

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

"you met me at a very strange time of my life..." awesome

It shows that the world around him is vanishing. Why? Because he died. He shot himself. Its a smart and tragic story. He shot himself to get rid of Tyler. But instead of showing himself die, they show the world around him die(exploding building) Which really is the same thing. Genius movie really.

@OrginalKork - The movie is primarily about letting go of a world view dominated by your culture... Letting go of what "they" told you you should be - rich, handsome, famous etc etc... The buildings are the major credit companies. The collapse of the buildings symbolizes Ed letting go of all the B.S society injected into him and returning to "financial equilibrium" as Tyler put it.

@OrginalKork - Ed shoots himself in order to kill Tyler AS WELL AS his old culture-infected self. His old self and Tyler each represent the 2 extremes of his own psyche. Watch the movie again and realize that the entire movie is symbolism of what is going on in Ed Norton's own mind. It's not a literal story. (This is why in the beginning credits you see a closeup view of neurons firing in a brain)... Ed himself said this in an interview about the movie.

@OrginalKork yeah its like Tyler is now out of his life

I wouldn't say that...it's more like both Tyler and the Narrator died. He put the gun to his mouth with the pure intent to die. Through this, and because the bullet randomly missed the brain,he is reborn as a new person... a complete person. Neither the narrator or Tyler were viable on their own. The path of the narrator leads to spiritual death, and the path of Tyler leads to physical death. The answer is something inbetween these extremes. A golden middle way that incorporates both and neither

Because he died. He leaves the world. He shot himself. It was the only thing to do to get rid of Tyler.

ahh right, thanks :)
