Fight Club - The Puzzle Aspect (9.2/10)

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2015)

For my first review I have decided to review my favorite movie of all time, Fight Club.
This blockbuster starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt entails a man known simply as the 'narrator' that hopes and dreams for a better life, if not then he is slowly planning his own suicide in his head, thus meeting Tyler Durden, a man the narrator aspires to be, the two of them begin 'Fight Club' where men have the satisfaction of beating the heck out of each other which for some odd reason gives them a sense of relief and purpose. Throughout the movie you begin to learn that Tyler is manipulating the system to create an underground force to attack the major financial points in the world to bring the world back to zero.
This would have to be a career best for both Norton and Pitt. The intricacy that both characters portray is confusing at times as situations begin to take place where Maria, portrayed brilliantly by Helena Bonham Carter, is in a gray area with the narrator, as sometimes she hates him and sometimes she loves him. The big twist at the end of the film is that Tyler is actually an unconventional character that the narrator is imagining, the narrator wanted a better life so badly that he has imagined a voice and a guidance to help him start his new life of action.
The growth of the narrator is truly a blessing to watch as he begins as a coward in life, outside a bar not wanting to punch Tyler in the face, but ends up in the film bashing Angel's face in, one of the darkest and most confusing parts of the film in my opinion. The narrator even comes to a stage where he is being interrogated by police, but without even himself knowing he has manipulated the police officers to kill him if he said any word about the operation.
After each watch of the film the intricacy of the film grows but at the same time becomes simpler, each new viewing adds a new dimension that you are questioning to yourself why you didn't pick up on that in the last viewing. It is a phenomenal take on the world as it continually likes to point out how humans are inferior and how each one of us just makes up a pointless system.
The movie has brilliant twist and turns that is like a puzzle, bits and pieces are forming everywhere, but when all put together, you understand the big picture. This movie makes a terrific drama film that must be watched. If you have not watched this film, this is a MUST WATCH for any film lover.
That being said I give Fight Club a 9.2/10
To end this review I must mention the first rule about fight club, DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB
Quite side note, I will barely ever be giving a movie over a 9, let alone a 10. Movies are never perfect, they may be perfect in your eyes, but a movie always has flaws.
