1. The first rule of Fight Club is Do not talk about Fight Club. Damn
some people really missed the whole point of this movie.
Most people either can't or won't recognize the brilliant work
behind this film.
For me, it's just as good as the Chuck Palahniuk book it's based on.
In Fight Club young urban professionals play be Edward Norton
are just empty, white-collar drones desperate to find meaning
beyond cubicle. He even join a support to help give his some
meaning.
his mentor on this journey is Tyler Durden (Pitt), is a psychopath
who denounces consumerism and individualism in favor of pain.
Edward Norton addiction changes from support groups to
underground fighting matches with other disaffected men after he
meets the kooky soap salesman Tyler Durden.
From there, things really start to spiral, but I'm not saying
anymore, as part of the joy is experiencing things unfolding for
your self.
The actors do so well with their characters that it's hard to imagine
anyone else playing the parts,
and not only that, but they become the characters, and you forget
that they are really just actors.
Fincher's dark and hypnotic style works perfectly with this
material, and the editing is also really good.

2. This movie isn't really about dudes beating each other up in
underground fighting venues. It's a critique of masculinity, being
marginalized by society,
I first saw this when I was a sophomore in high school the same
week I first saw Reservoir Dogs and Taxi Driver, and I was never
the same after that.
Those three films are what lead me to become the movie critic that
I am, and I found myself really able to identify with a lot of the
stuff going on here.
I suppose the film is perhaps a tad overrated, and, unlike the book,
the twist doesn't work quite as well,
but even then, this film is a powerful, compelling, and amazing
work of art. Also, given the content,
it really amazes me (still) that this was a mainstream production.
Bottom line, this is a must see.
