An exhilarating journey in understanding consumerism through aggressive events.

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2015)

Fight Club is one such rare movie that deserves to win many nominations and awards,clearly and literally.It is one the best films of 1999.This dark story takes place through the unnamed protagonist-The Narrator essayed by a brilliant Edward Norton.He delivers a power-packed,energetic,deep-in-the-character performance which is immensely commendable.
Although most of the movie is shot in dark,lurid atmosphere and there is no glitterati or lights.Edward Norton suffers from chronic insomnia and cant sleep for days together.The only way he can find peace,solace and ultimately sleep is by going to various body- afflicted problem groups where seeing people suffering a plethora of pain makes him calm and retains his composure.Here he meets a weird emo-like woman named Marla Singer portrayed equally well by a weird- looking Helena Bonham Carter who has a lot of uncanny(peculiar)idiosyncrasies.
He creates a virtual and visual alter-ego or a persona named Tyler Durden acted by the most exuberant,jovial and boisterous Brad Pitt.He clearly gave and electrifying,stellar performance that deserves sheer accolades.How he takes on the monster of Tyler Durden forms the crux of the story.Tyler is a nihilist who creates a "fight club" to ease the tension,agony and anguish of the people living boring,mundane,robotic lives.
A clear must-watch if you want to understand consumerism in a novel but violent way.Thumbs UP!!!
MY RATING-9 ON 10.
