German submarines arrived in the middle of the night” The movie never had this line in it. The movie starts on the boat and in the book it starts on the island where this line is.

The movie has much less detail. As well as this also‚ it doesn’t

Grace Tobin American History Through Film Film Review April 29‚ 2014 Fight Club‚ a 1999 dark comedic film‚ finds originality in it’s celebration of violence in which the heroes form an underground community with the license to commit crime‚ drink‚ smoke‚ and most importantly‚ beat one another up.

The viewer also never learns how Ying-Ying St. Clair’s husband
