One of the Best Films of its generation

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2013)

This film was an obvious labor of love on the part of director David Fincher and stars Ed Norton and Brad Pitt. Fincher is among the great directors of his generation, with a distinct style that really fits the core of this film. I've heard it said that he directs movies "you can smell" and the world of Fight Club reeks. Norton and Pitt were very involved with finding props and creating small moments that further drive the film's main themes across. Both insisted that their characters destroy a Volkswagen Beetle saying "It's a perfect example of the Baby Boomer generation marketing its youth culture to us. As if our happiness is going to come by buying the symbol of their youth movement" . It's clear that they felt the film's message of this lost generation was very important. http://amandalovesmovies.com/2012/03/15/fight-club/
