Fight Club (1999)

It truly astonishes me how a film that is in all technical values this excellent can be so crap in it's content. This movie provides us a view of our world so pessimistic, disgusting and revolting that it makes me shrug. Fight Club assumes that every middle-class blue collar worker is some nutcase with pint up rage towards the society we live in and loathes everything within it. It assumes that inside every one of us there is a very, very large anarchy-adoring psycopath just waiting for the right leader. This is a view of the world I so greatly disagree with that it simply puts me completely off the entire picture. The script isn't structured very well either, as the film shifts midway through into a thriller from a dark comedy and that shift is very uneven, and makes the later half of the...Read more

A really great film and one of David Finchers best. Fight Club is a really screwed up commentary on modern soceity. Fincher displays violence as a metaphor for the internal struggles of the conflict between young people and moral codes. The viusal style is great and this film is the first time i've ever seen CGI used in a creative and worthwhile way outside science fiction, action or animation. The black comedy style that is present in the dialogue is funny and some of the wittiest stuff i've heard in a film for quite some time. The film breaks the fourth wall further than any film has ever before and changes the entire way you look at cinema and storytelling in general which creates a fairly subjective reality for the film to exist in. This film teaches us to destroy the walls we have cre...Read more

The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells Stop!, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.

''Fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.'' An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression. Edward Norton: The Narrator Brad Pitt: Tyler Durden Helena Bonham Carter: Marla Singer Fight Club is after looking past all the violence, extreme cinematographic techniques, computer-enhanced images, and other tricks Fight Club plays on us, we see another level to this film. It's a show about young men trying to find their place in society at the end of the 1990s. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt play a couple of typical guys in typical situations for men of their age, with no idea where to go w...Read more

Tyler and Marla are my favorite couple of all time. Tyler is an insomniac while Marla often thinks of dying anytime. Tyler fucks Marla. And then Tyler ditches Marla. And that's all because Marla met Tyler in the strangest time of his life.

Tyler Durden ♥ Marla Singer

The Indie film has become more and more popular as the years go on. Blockbusters and high concept movies are losing their appeal as favourite films because the audience strives for a deeper meaning and an alternative look on the big screen. Being a teen in the late 90s, this is one of the first films that stood out for me in the Indie bracket. So, David Fincher directed an adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk book Fight Club. Jack (Ed Norton) is a man who lacks any kind of lift in life. Stuck in middle management and suffering from insomnia, his life is a complete waste as he is overcome by consumer culture and no longer enjoys anything that he isn’t told to like. That is, until he meets a confident and inspiring Soap Salesman known as Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt); who teaches him more about bei...Read more

I walked away from this movie both, challenged and greatly disturbed. The utter feeling of hopelessness that these characters felt and the need to follow a charismatic leader was a frustrating feeling for me. Our Savior stands before us wanting to fill our every need and to take away every feeling of hopelessness that fills the lives of today's generation. The challenge that I felt was one of a desperate need to spread HIS love to everyone. The film making qualities were awesome and it was probably one of the best made movies that I have ever seen. Norton and Pitt gave phenomenal performances, as well!
