Best movie of '99

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2000)

Having much less violence than I thought- hey, no intentions to KILL, no impalement- I found that there is a reason why younger audiences can relate better to this movie than older ones. And it's not because of the soundtrack, or the actors.
It's the curiosity young people still have for something, whether positive or negative, scratching just below the surface of American culture.
Yeah, older people find it bad that they have to live in a society where they are forced to 'work jobs they hate so they can buy s@!t they don't need', but they just want to live the rest of their lives as simply as possible. Young people haven't been yet traumatised by what is ugly, filthy, and honest; so they are kind of intrigued by it. They can see through the dirt and blood of the movie and see the real story behind .
About a 20-something man who feels out of touch with reality. We can all relate to this, but if you're young enough, you'll really enjoy this thrilling ride into the post-modern American psyche.

It will be hard for Fincher to top this masterpiece, but if he's as consistent as he has been, we're in for a lot more...I can't wait!
----------Of all movies, I could have written a more extensive review on THIS one, but I'll let the more experienced reviewers below spell it out. Just know that, though I never rate movies, I gave this one a 10!(And I'm into romantic comedies!)=)
