A 1st person story about a man, who has trouble sleeping

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2014)

This movie is by far one of the best movies of the 90's. It has everything: A fantastic story, amazing actors, a killer soundtrack and one of the most amazing twists in modern movie history. It has that special, undefinable feeling to it, which makes it a movie to remember forever. If you read the book, you will probably notice that it is a quite short book. Besides from a couple cuts and the end, the movie actually follows the book very well. It is not a book filled with loads and loads of action as much as it an view point on modern society, and how we live out our lives. Kind of a long essay. David Fincher seems to share Chuck Palahniuk view on the western civilization today. Fincher has captured the special vibe and critique in Palahniuks book and works brilliantly. Fincher has added an element of humor to the story, which it is not obvious in the book. But it works very well. The end of the book is much more dark than the end of the movie, but it does not matter. Fincher has not made typical "Hollywood ending", and when a director does that it is always liberating. This movie is dark, exciting, funny, unique, inspiring and fascinating. I would like to end by writing: If you liked movies like......and then namedrop a couple of movies, which resembles it, but it is impossible. This movie is UNIQUE.
