Fight Club review

Amazing!!

Fight Club is a total masterful work of art from David Fincher. Fight Club is a film that is just complete kick ass all the way through it. It is one of those films that is very violent even before you watch it because the two words in the title are ways of violence. Fight Club is a new cinematic experience that truly reveals human behaviour not only because of the fighting in Fight Club but also because of the psychological side of humans. It is a film that some people wouldn't like because of the violence but would because of really cool characters and actors involved. I find Fight Club was underestimated at first because it came out but now it is a cult masterpiece with a lot of meaning to it. It is a little overrated but can't help but adore it to bits as I do.


Brad Pitt is awesome in this film as Tyler Durden. He makes me laugh in this film because Tyler can be a total arsehole and a slimy arrogant character but in a humurous way. Tyler is described just the same as Brad Pitt as far as appearances is concerned. He was a very hard leader at Fight Club. Tyler is a very manipulating character because of what he does to the narrator in this film and what he usually likes to do. Edward Norton is really good too. I think he was chosen to be in this film because his character is slightly similar to his character in American History X. Edward told a story in that film as he does in Fight Club in which he is really good at. I find Marla Singer a typical Helena Bonham Carter character because she is a very unusual and mysterious character and also because of Marla's appearance. She is like a really heavy smoker and a mixed up slag. It is really unusual when she attends the testicular cancer obviously because she is a woman. Marla is a sort of character that Helena hasn't ever portrayed before but now feels like she should portray characters like Marla now. Marla's bizzareness is sort of like Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street.


The direction from David Fincher was simply outstanding. I liked it more than Se7en. I loved the instant camera angles that Fincher has in this film particularly the fight scenes. The script was very original which is what most cult films are like as far as screenplay is concerned. It was written to catch the audience's attention and to keep their eyes on it because it is so breathtaking.


This is my favourite film from Fincher so far. It is my second favourite film from Brad Pitt after The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and Edward Norton so far but it is my second favourite Helena Bonham Carter film after obviously Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street. Fight Club is my favourite cult film and third favourite film of 1999 after American Beauty and The Green Mile. It is on the list of favourite films without a single doubt. Also, it has the greatest plot twist that I have ever seen and in my opinion, the biggest twist of all time. Masterpiece!!!!!
