Existentialism and eroticism in a stylish package

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2014)

A brilliant existential thriller, in which Edward Norton's brutally masculine character dominates an effeminate Brad Pitt.
Despite its heavy-handed homoeroticism the movie is a powerful celebration of contemporary heterosexual manhood.
Trapped within his corporate prison, the protagonist slowly undergoes a shocking transformation into the ultimate Nietzschean Ãœbermensch and destroys society in a final act of triumphant nihilism.
Meat Loaf makes a brief appearance as the bisexual Mormon who has lost his testicles to cancer (some extrapolation is required here).
Helena Bonham Carter is also present in certain scenes.
I rate 'Fight Club' at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a solid 8/10 on IMDb.
