My review of Fight club as a non-medical professional

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2016)

I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV, I do however play it at home with my wife. In my years of practice I have noticed a trend in movies and on television making a joke out of mental illness. In my non- expert yet vocal opinion, Schizophrenia can be a very serious, if not properly treated, disease. If combined with other disorders, such as Psychosis and Intermittent Explosive Disorder it could be used to provide quality entertainment and comedy to the masses.
The movie starts out with our main protagonist, trying to convince his new "friend" to engage in a Narcissistic playtime setting. It starts going well as they engage in friendly beatings and torture. They recruit homeless people with the same mindset and start gambling out the outcomes. The more beatings our hero gets the worse his psychosis becomes and snowballs into a trip to a mental hospital, where he lives out the rest of his days...locked forever in a room with an overgrown native American and bars of human soap.
I recommend a viewing with an open mind, and a few beers.
