"You met me at a very strange time in my life."
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
Aahh … the good shit comments sections were made for! Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
"...in Taiwan, China"
We’re not supposed to talk about this

Noooooooyou’ve had an account for almost three years, and this is your only comment? 😅
ed. Why is this being downvoted. I found this user interesting, thats all. jfc.
Since we're on a decentralized service, you won't see every post of a user unless you go to their profile on their instance. You're responding to a Mastodon user, so most of her posts will be invisible to you because Lemmy does not support microblogging. It's a bit of a confusing quirk on the Fediverse - you always have to visit people's own instance in order to see their full profile.
A quick look on Mastodon discloses that she's been posting punk and anti-fascist content for years. :)
Everything else aside, that's kind of interesting.
I guess they really wanted to ignore how Project Mayhem had already infiltrated the police, eh?
That's only literally part of the plot...
What the hell for? If you want to censor the ending of a film after allowing people to watch the whole thing .... why not just censor the whole thing and not allow it anywhere. The fact that everyone watched it will now make everyone who saw it want to see the actual ending.
It's like giving things to a teenager and then telling them they can't have the last minute, the last inch, the last piece or the last word .... you know full well they will do whatever it takes to get that last piece just to spite you.
Wasn't there a war in this film?
