A Very Intriguing Film

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2019)

Fight Club is a movie that, when I first watched it, I thought was okay at first. It has a very understandable plot, but parts of it are bizarre and confusing, which made me not like it entirely. However, I gave it a second shot recently, and I've come to enjoy it......a lot.
Fight Club tells the story of a guy played by Edward Norton. He doesn't have a name, however, he is known as the Narrator since the movie is told by his point of view. He is an office worker who can't sleep due to being diagnosed with insomnia. He later meets up with a guy named Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt), and he is a soap salesman who the Narrator finds strange. But, the Narrator's apartment is destroyed, and thus, decides to stay with Tyler. The two form and unlikely friendship and form an underground club for men to fight each other.
There's also a woman named Marla (played by Helena Bohnam Carter) and she gets in the way of Tyler and the narrator's friendship as Tyler becomes attracted to her. From there, things can only get better or worse for Tyler Durden.
Fight Club is a fantastic movie. Like I said, it does have some moments that can be strange and are questionable. But they are there because they fit in with the atmosphere the film is going for., and I've come to realize that after watching it again. The ending, which I will NOT spoil, is the most confusing part of the movie. Watch for yourselves, and you'll see why.
The acting from Norton and Pitt were great. They played off each other very well. Helena Bohnam Carter did great as her character, and Meat Loaf is in the movie as a testicular cancer patient named Bob, and had very smooth acting.
Bottom line, Fight Club is a movie I recommend to watch twice in order to like it. It's 2 hrs and 15 mins of entertainment that can confuse you, but will make you watch it again to thoroughly love and appreciate the movie.
