When grabbing the commisoner what is Tyler Durden actually doing? - Pink and White I M a Little Print Textile

In the movie there is a scene where the group grab the police commissioner at fund raiser and drag him into the bathroom to threaten him so that he doesn't follow through on a vow to take down their group. My confusion comes from the fact that Brad Pitt punches the commissioner and drags him into the bathroom while Ed Norton locks the door. Now considering the twist of this movie this is the one scene that I can't figure out how it's possible to both drag a guy and lock a door. So how did it happen?



Best Answer

I always took that to mean one of the Project Mayhem members locked the door. Edward Norton's character imagined/remembered that it was him instead of someone else doing it. Presumably this was guided by Tyler.

We see Edward Norton's character imagine himself doing things at other points in the movie. For example during the Tyler and Marla having sex montage, Edward Norton walks up to Tyler's bedroom door and peeks in. Tyler and Edward Norton have a short exchange, Edward walks off, then Marla asks Tyler, "Who are you talking to?" which indicates that Tyler was in control of the body at that point.

What did Tyler Durden Do?

Tyler worked several night jobs. Partly to fund himself while engaging in general subversion, but also to set up situations enabling him to blackmail his employers later. In addition to his jobs, Tyler made soap from human fat, which he collected from dumpsters behind liposuction clinics.

Did Tyler actually shoot himself in Fight Club?

He cannot simply shoot at him as he is just a hallucination of his own mind and the bullet would just fly off into nothing. While before beating him up would have worked, it was just a physical representation of a mental battle. By bringing in an actual object into the fray, his attempts at Tyler's life are pointless.

Is Tyler from Fight Club fake?

The big twist is that Tyler is actually not real. He's a figment of The Narrator's imagination. When the movie first came out in 1999 this was a shock to audiences. But if you rewatch the film, you will see that director David Fincher hid a bunch of clues throughout the film that actually gave away the ending.

Is Tyler the villain in Fight Club?

Tyler to the audience. Tyler Durden is the main antagonist in the 1996 novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk and its 1999 film adaptation of the same name. He returns as an antagonist in the novel's 2015 comic book miniseries sequel Fight Club 2, and then the second miniseries sequel Fight Club 3.
