'Fight Club' Directed by David Fincher is an amazing film known for its twist and non-linearity. The film starts with at this point an unknown person holding a gun in the narrators mouth. The narrator then says some dialogue which then cuts to the events that lead our protagonist to the beginning scene.

The protagonist of the film is the narrator, he lives a very dull life and suffers from insomnia. The film then cuts to the narrator going to different support groups to help with his insomnia. The film uses these support group meetings to show the passage of time, by having the narrator listing which days meant which meeting.

Once the protagonist meets Tyler Durden his life starts to spiral. The film jumps around a lot at points sometimes it will be to show the passage of time or to give the audience certain information. For example, the scene where the protagonist breaks the 4th wall and explains Tylers jobs. Also, there's a scene where Tyler is sleeping with the films love interest Marla. However the way it is cut suggests the passage of time. Then we get the events in between which leads us back to the beginning scene.
