Nothing more than greatness

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2004)

I actually read the book Fight Club before I saw the movie. I actually read it at a book store when it had recently been released. So by the time the movie had come out I forgot I read it. This movie is so great that it is even better than the book. It works for so many kinds of people also: smart people, dumb people, and dumb people who want other people to think they're smart. Fight Club is most definitely a guy movie. It deals with acceptance, and male bonding, and testosterone, and loneliness. It follows an unnamed character (Edward Norton) through some big changes in his life. In the movie they never say his name, and in the book he didn't have a name. So for those of you who call him "Jack" you are wrong. He becomes friends with an outrageous Tyler Durdan (Brad Pitt). I don't want to say too much about it for people who may have not seen it. But it's smart, and entertaining, and definitely leaves plenty of room for conversations once the movie is over. It's a must see for any movie lover, even the ones who are idiots and don't like narrative voice overs. This is one of the few movies I actually saw in the theater 4 times.
