갑자기 요즘 들어 '파이트 클럽 '이 다시 보고 싶어졌다. 다행히 DVD를 가지고 있어서 언제든 가서 틀기만 하면 되는데 왜 이렇게 짬이 안나는지. 만일을 대비해서 DVD를 항상 휴대하고 다니고 있음.
생각난 김에 위키피디아 에 가서 영화 '파이트 클럽 ' 항목을 검색해 봤더니 이런 게 있다. 말 그대로 '파이트 클럽' 소설과 영화 사이에 다른 점을 정리해 놓은 것. 이걸 보니 책 까지 다시 읽고 싶어졌음. 이번에는 원서로 한번 읽어볼까.
Though the plot is mostly similar to the novel and much of the dialog is used verbatim, some significant changes have been made in the film.
• Many of the lines taken from the novel for the film are given to different characters than they were originally said by. It is likely this was done because the narrator has more lines in the novel than the other characters, though other characters' lines are also switched around (for instance, Tyler gives a speech that was originally given by a mechanic in the novel).
• Tyler's involvement in the storyline is often in the foreground of the film, while he is often unseen in the novel, his involvement being mentioned by the narrator in retrospect.
• Tyler Durden is a soap salesman instead of a beach artist as in the novel.
• The narrator meets Tyler on a plane instead of on a nude beach as in the novel.
• The first two rules of fight club, "You don't talk about fight club", have "don't" changed to "do not".
• The third rule of fight club, "If someone says stop, goes limp, even if he's just faking it, the fight is over.", was changed to "If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over".
• The narrator reads stories about "Jack" in the film, who was named "Joe" in the novel. This was changed to avoid conflicts with Reader's Digest over the use of the name (the articles read by the narrator were featured in the magazine).
• Marla's line after having sex with Tyler was "I want to have your abortion" in the novel. The film changed this line to "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school." However, the original line was filmed and can be seen in the DVD's deleted scenes section (the reason for the change is that the director was told the original line was 'too offensive', so he changed it to something even more offensive and then refused to change it back).
• The first batch of soap made by the narrator and Tyler is made from fat from a liposuction clinic, rather than from liposuctioned fat from Marla's mother as in the book. The Paper Street Soap Company isn't formed until after this first soap making project, which was simply to get some soap to clean the Narrator's clothes.
• The scene where Tyler fights Lou is based on a scene in the novel where Tyler blackmails the Projectionist Union's president. Lou (or any other angry bar owner) didn't appear in the book.
• A flashback scene in the novel in which the narrator urinates on the Blarney Stone does not appear in the film.
• A scene in which Tyler is telling a story in which he caused a woman to nearly lose her mind after he leaves an anonymous note stating that he peed in one of the woman's perfume bottles is omitted from the movie.
• The narrator's fight with himself to blackmail his boss is at the car company in the film; in the novel, it was done to threaten his boss at the hotel where Tyler had gotten him a job as a waiter.
• The narrator is not entirely aware of what Tyler is doing with Project Mayhem and is more uncomfortable with the increasing destructiveness of their activities, rather than being partially in control of it as in the book.
• The confrontation with Raymond K. Hessel is handled by the narrator alone in the novel; in the film, Tyler takes control while the narrator witnesses the event.
• Robert Paulson is by himself when he is killed in the novel; he was using an electric drill to drill a hole in an ATM and pump it full of glue, pudding or grease (they never mention which), and a cop spots him and thinks the drill is a gun.
• A scene from the novel in which Tyler murders the narrator's boss does not appear in the film, although the method of his murder is used in the film (drilling out a computer monitor and filling it with gasoline).
• In the film, the ultimate objective of Project Mayhem is never revealed, but the narrator tells a police officer that he believes their goal is to blow up all the credit card companies and send the national debt record back to zero. In the novel, however, the goal of Project Mayhem was to slow down humanity's technological advancement by artificially causing another Dark Age. This is referred to in the film, however, in the bedroom scene after the car crash. Part of Project Mayhem's goals included erasing history, and the real purpose of blowing up the building in the book was to have it fall on the National Art Gallery next door.
• Project Mayhem's bombs are successful in exploding in the film, while they were duds in the novel.
• The narrator shoots himself to kill Tyler, rather than to make a decision on his own as in the novel.
• Tyler's gun had a home-made silencer in the novel. The gun makes a loud sound in the film, and there appears to be no silencer.
• The film ends with the narrator and Marla watching buildings explode, while the novel ends with the narrator talking about a mental institution (which he believes is heaven) to which he has been confined.
• Many of the lines taken from the novel for the film are given to different characters than they were originally said by. It is likely this was done because the narrator has more lines in the novel than the other characters, though other characters' lines are also switched around (for instance, Tyler gives a speech that was originally given by a mechanic in the novel).

파이트 클럽의 첫번째 룰과 두번째 룰에서 "don't"를 "do not"으로 바꾼 건 꽤 잘한 선택이었던 것 같다. 브래드 피트가 "do not"에 강조를 둬서 치는 그 대사를 너무 좋아하기 때문에.
