A Testosterone Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2013)

The male world just got with this film its ultimate masterpiece, it will even make guys laugh, think, and even cry. Yeah, "Fight Club" can do that to any man to watch these unforgettable 2:19 hours of pure excitement! "Fight Club" is a testosteronic classic to be remembered, the title just sounds like a fight film, but who thinks that are wrong, the movie goes much deeper than that.
The story begins with this guy (Edward Norton), who during the movie never says or mentions his name. He works at a car agency and spends its life in the office. He suffers from insomnia and doesn't know what to make of his life felling an immense and deep hole. Then he begins attending therapy groups to be able to express himself and put everything out and always have company. In one of these groups he meets and "falls in love" to the weird smoking Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) who happens to have the same trend he attending several therapy groups. One day, during a business trip he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). The guy and Tyler have the same thoughts about life and what to do with it, then both start a strong friendship and arrange a new form of therapy, a male therapy which consists in beat the crap out of each other (in other words, fighting). Then they create "Fight Club", which attracts many followers to this male therapy where men in the middle of a fight can unleash all his anger and anguish that he carries, it doesn't matter of his going to win or not. But the club is just a much bigger plan that Tyler plans by every passing minute.
The film, as the title says is about a Fight Club, but the film not only focuses attention on fighting scenes (which are many). But through this club, Tyler tries to convey his major criticism of society. The film raises a number of criticisms and questions about the society we live in and how dirty it is, these criticisms come to us through the constant black humor and male philosophy leaving us thinking for days.
The writing of Jim Uhls (screenplay) is superb, explores our society through dialogs and breathtaking scenes, and the direction of David Fincher makes it all fantastic.
"Fight Club" is the testosteronic masterpiece to be remembered forever, thanks to a fantastic writing and direction and superb performances from both Brad and Edward leaves the film just MAGNIFICENT.
