When the movie is better than the book

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2019)

Fight Club is for me, one of those rare examples when I like the movie better than the book. Without giving any spoilers, they have two different endings. One thing that makes this an instant classic is the use of lighting to set the mood throughout. Another thing is the repeated dialogue motif's, that help craft Fight Club into its own bleak ideological environment. The movie takes you into its own world, until you question whether you buy into Tyler Derden's mad vision. Stellar performances from Helena Bonham Carter, Edward Norton, and Brad Pitt, not to mention - Meatloaf! 2 thumbs up!
