![]() It’s fucked up (this is Fight Club, after all), but it’s happy. It could be argued that the ending is more ambiguous - Project Mayhem exists still in the world, after all - but there’s no questioning the feeling of strange elation with which David Fincher sends us out of the theater. It is, in film language terms, a happy ending - Jack says “You met me at a very strange time in my life,” the Pixies song swells, they hold hands, they look at each other and outside the window is just sky, no more buildings blocking them from a limitless future.Īnd then, of course, the dick is spliced in - a final joke from Project Mayhem. The answer to that question maybe doesn’t matter, as Jack and Marla stand together, rid of Tyler Durden, but able to see the fruits of his maniacal plan carried out as the buildings holding everyone’s credit reports explode. “Where is my mind?” asks the finale of Fight Club the movie. ![]()
