"First you have to give up, first you have to know  not fear  know that someday you're gonna die."

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2008)

Fight club, it's just a movie everyone should watch. I really liked the message in the movie, the performance of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt and you've just got to love 'em quotes. The one that got me thinking was; "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." The movie is a bit harsh, but with an quite understanding and strong message. I saw this movie a couple of years ago and before that i though, yeah, it's a raw movie with men fighting. BUT, this movie was so much more than that! This truly is a masterpiece and i think it's the best movie made so far. I've studied philosophy and though this had the same message as the absurdism gives you. That the meaning of life doesn't exists. And of course the messages from the quotes, we're people who are addicted to material goods. And after we loose everything, we are free to do anything. We are no longer hooked on these goods and are free to do anything. The character that Edward Norton plays, changes a lot during the movie. He starts as an man who works in an dead end office job, is hooked on material goods (from IKEA) and suffers from insomnia. After he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) his life changes. But after i saw the ending, i couldn't believe what i've just witnessed. A perfect movie, with an great ending. The ending changes the whole movie, just in minutes.
Just like this quote; "The first soap was made from the ashes of heroes, like the first monkey shot into space. Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing." So, right and in an way that people really take it serious and starts thinking. So to all them "treehuggers", this is an loud message. It's just one of the movies that you think after you've seen it, yeah it was nice. And the next morning you think, that was really nice. It just gets better from day to day. This movie actually got me interested in philosophy.
10/10 of course. Never seen a better movie, WATCH IT.
