Fight club is not a movie.

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2016)

By the time the movie ended merely one phrase intruded my mind and that was that fight club is more of a documentary rather than a film. Now this statement might seem a bit blunt and technically flawed but I tell you once it ended I did not bother to evaluate Norton's or Pit's performances, nor did I make a comment about the direction(which was spectacular and a breakthrough for its time). This film summarizes the condition of our world, of our society which is gradually sinking into more and more consumerist ideas and models. It indicates the intolerable routine in the working environment; people who have no dreams or ideals,who are programmed to work, eat, sleep (I wouldn't say so) and repeat. Norton is the typical worker in our society, characterized by a complete lack of energy and depression, having no goals or whatsoever. He is asleep when he is awake and awake when being asleep. He needs to cry, to feel and love and be human( that is the point where these church meetings come in). Norton searches for his actual self. I merely had one question after the movie's end and sorry guys I had no intention of categorizing this review as a spoil but I need to ask: in the end where Norton says his final lines and where the mind-blowing pixies song comes in, what does he intend to do? Who is he deep inside after all? Is he still one of the "programmed", consumerist piles of meat in our society or is he Pit?
