Great, funny movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2000)

I saw this recently on tape and I liked it very much. Like The sixth sense it had a "neat" twist. But this one I didn't expect. The ending is somewhat inconclusive and a bit unsatisfying. But as a whole it is a great film. Fincher is a man with a vision. He is inventive and creative. Norton is good, but the movie belongs to Pitt. I think this guy willbecome an even greater actor than Norton. The problem is: he is too goodlooking. But he showed it in Seven and now in this movie: the guy can act. Fight club is violent, yes. But is it exploitive? No. Never is hate, crime, power or money a reason for it. It shows that self-inflicted pain can be healing. It can give solace. Growth by selfdestruction is the theme. Modern society has never been satirized the viciously. A unique, very underrated movie that will be hailed as a masterpiece in ten years.
