The answer men really need?

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2001)

This film is sheer brilliance. It's got everything a great film should have: stunning cinematography, great characters, powerful directing, a plot that twists and turns and leaves you guessing, plus more than I could ever put in this review.
This film is for men and about men. It portrays the deep angst men feel, as well as how to be a 'real' man. Tyler Durden sums it all up while sitting in the bathtub drinking a beer when he says, "My old man never went to college, so it was real important that I go. So I went to college and got my degree. After graduation I called my old man and said, 'Dad, what should I do now?' He said, 'get a job.' So I went out and got a job. Then I made my annual call, and asked, 'Dad, what should I do now?' He said, 'I don't know, get married?' We are a generation of men raised by women. Somehow I wonder if another woman is really the answer we need?"
A stunning observation that hits almost any man in the head with full force. We are a generation of feminized men who were raised by women. The generations that came before us were raised by our fathers, and this has somehow become lost in our society. Fight Club provides the male legacy that existed on this planet for thousands and thousands of years before our current generation. As Durden observes, the answers we seek as men will never come from women, but from other men.
If you are a man under the age of 40 and have not seen this film, it is your moral imperative to rent it and watch it immediately. And after you've seen it, get together with the guys and throw a few punches of your own!
