Terrific use of subliminal hints

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2004)

Am I the only one who noticed the subliminal hints that Fincher put in Ie. the one frame flashes of Brad Pitt ...there is one when Edward Norton is outside his office; another one when he is at the testicular cancer group (for ONE frame Brad Pitt appears behind the therapist) and lastly when he is outside of the building Brad Pitt appears, for one frame only, behind Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) and then of course he becomes his "Alter Ego" !!!This film was fantastic...sure it was about fighting and beating the living daylights out of someone but it explored the way the brain handles stress...ie. first Jack attends the Addiction meetings and then is able to sleep; but when Marla _"The Tourist" appears he is back to his old insomnia until he creates his "alter ego"...and really goes insane and can only get out of it by getting rid of "himself"... A true masterpiece and Brad Pitt is at his best!!! Watch for those subliminal one frame flashes and press on "pause" it's really quite a trick the director pulls on us...because the first time I watched it I did not see it; then I watched it with my son who learned about these one frame flashes of Brad Pitt in the movie The Fight Club...otherwise one just blinks and misses it all together:)
