One of the Greatest movies of the century :)

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2004)

Fight Club is one of my favorite movies. I've seen it couple of times... I also own the DVD. Don't miss the alternative (subliminal) FBI warning by Durden when the DVD starts ;) Anyways, I don't want to give too many details and ruin the appetite of those who haven't seen this master piece.
What makes this movie so amazing is the story ofcourse. It's based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel. and it's about... well... Our controlled way of life, searching satisfaction in materialistic things, Money, loneliness, NO SEX, NO SATISFACTION, ShXXty daily Jobs, getting stock in a small apartment filled with things from an Ikea catalogue, SEX but no happiness, No Money, No Home etc. etc. There are zillions of things that we are wasting our lives on, are these really important for us? Do we really need all the things that we buy? things... things... the things that make us angry... the things that we hate... the things that we want... the people that we envy... the people that we wanna be... the things that make us SICK to the stomache... the people that makes us angry, the people that we hate... But there's SOMEONE THAT WE ALL HATE MOST... Do you know who that is? Well, this movie not only answers that, but it also slaps you right in the face with that answer...

David Fincher did an excellent job directing it. Ed Norton became one of my favorite actors after I've seen his acting in this movie (I've probably seen all of his movies after this one). He's simply amazing... Brad Pitt also proves that he's a great actor, not just a baby face sex symbol.
Helena Bonham Carter... well, I can't imagine Fight Club without her, or any other actress playing her role...
BUF Compagnie (Paris, FR), Blue Sky Studios (New York, US) and Digital Domain (CA, US) created the CG and Special Effects Art work in Fight Club. Yes these 3 great, award winning companies worked together in this movie. And their amazing art work is what makes the Fight Club so visually pleasing and rich... The famous Ikea scene is fantastic, but there's even more... since the CG work is perfectly blended in, you need to pay more attention to realize that there's actually lot of CG work in this movie -perhaps you may have to watch the movie couple times ;)-.
Don't miss this movie...
