This is where the term 'great film-making' comes from

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2002)

Fight Club was, to say the least, one of the best films I've ever seen. I have and will continue to recommend this movie to anyone, despite the fact that the average viewer would prefer a mindless, boring, run-of-the-mill big action shoot-em-up flick over a provacative, brilliantly scripted and remarkably choreographed film with deep philosophical origins that actually requires use of the brain to comprehend. Critics such as Roger Ebert have declared this film "pro-fascist", and I still marvel at such ridiculous remarks. There are so many brilliant ways to interpret the meanings and ideals listed in said film and many combinations of viewpoints with which to perceive both emotionally and psychologically, as well as physically, that viewers with shallow-minded ignorance could not even begin to fathom the awe-inspiring delight and enlightenment that occurs as a result of viewing it. Most people will be offended for the film's strong celebrations of violence, but if they don't understand with what purposes the violence has and what motivations are clearly presented, as well as the overall effect of the anti-social behavior that the characters use with which to compromise their goals, then this film will probably be a waste of time for them. Others will be put off by the film's attack on modern society and the basic foundations of civilization because they listen but do not hear, and it is ignorance that is a dangerous root in our species. View with an open mind, a strong stomach, and most of all pay attention because if you're confused because you missed something or even worse misunderstood what is being said, then you will most likely say you didn't like the film because your apprehensive skills need work. Brilliant acting, taut script and wonderful direction, this film is definately a classic cinematic masterpiece that like other controversial films will be recognized for what it is as time progresses.
