A wonderful piece of pie for our generation.

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2004)

When Fight Club first came out in 1999 I wasn't sure that I would be impressed with the film. Brad Pitt was OK and I wasn't really sure who Edward Norton was. Regardless I purchased my ticket and went to see the movie not knowing how much this film would impact my cinematic view. I left the theater with one of the weirdest feelings I have ever felt towards a film. The way it just was, the way it deeply explored the male psyche through such physical and mental turmoil.
In my opinion, Fight Club is an excellent cornerstone in cinema history. It's gritty, dark, and bitter sweet. To me, it's the one film that all other films afterwords will be compared to. I think it will be a movie remembered as one of the great films of our time; perhaps not "Schindlers List" or "Forest Gump" great, but much better, more like "A Clock Work Orange".
Previous Generations won't try to understand it, and future generations will view it as a "Classic", but only for it's hype. It's one of the movies that I truly feel belongs to us, and what a movie to own.
