DZ-111: Unreliable Narrators and Fight Club
Manage episode 426773831 series 3560984
How does the unreliability of a narrator impact the way a story is told?
In this episode, Stu and Mel (sans Chas!) take a deep dive into FIGHT CLUB and its use of the unreliable narrator. This is a bridging episode between our previous episode on VOICEOVER and our forthcoming episode on TALKING TO CAMERA as Fight Club does both.
We dissect the film’s disconnected sequence-driven structure and how the voiceover ’stitches’ the film together. And then we look at what makes ‘Jack’ an unreliable narrator and how his control over the storytelling impacts us.
As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.
Thanks to Chris Walker for his excellent editing this episode.
