Galvin P. Chow over at Metaphilm.com has written up an interesting piece comparing Edward Norton’s character in Fight Club to an adult Calvin, while his counterpart ‘Tyler Durden’ is the latest incarnation of his imaginary psychosis, Hobbes.
In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton’s character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give “Jack” more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. “Jack” is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It’s true. Norton portrays the grown-up version of Calvin, while Brad Pitt plays his imaginary pal, Hobbes, reincarnated as Tyler Durden.
It was definitely a good read. You can check it out here.
