One of the best films that defines the 90's

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2000)

In a society dominated by Disney, Blockbuster, Pepsi, Starbucks, and Volkswagon, people can't feel but somewhat alienated from it. It seems our own pride has been commercialized by these mammoth corporations intent on making the big bucks while sucking the life out of you. You've got it all, a nice apartment, the $800 couch, the jars of expensive mustard in your refrigerator, and the set of overrated, overpriced designer clothes that are just popular because they're made by a millionaire. You go through your daily grind, go to work, take orders from your boss who is wearing his mandatory blue tie on "Blue Day" but something is missing from your life. It's not your friends because you don't have any, it's not your family because you're not close to them. It's yourself. You can only survive so long from the sellout self help gurus who are trying to make a fast buck, You need something to fill your void which is your life. It's Fight Club where you can finally vent your frustrations in a no holds barred boxing match minus the gloves and protective gear. Fight Club is a film that defies the laws of a commercialized society. A film like Noah's Ark where a flood will destroy all those unworthy and that flood is Fight Club and those unworthy is the corporations of America. Fight Club makes a bold statement that we live in a daily grind that many people tend to break out of. It's a wake up call to the people of America where we have problems we don't know we have.
