One of the best films in the last two decades

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2001)

Fight club is noted to be filled with senseless violence, however, having been in fights myself, there is nothing unrealistic about these brawls. The violence in this films makes half of the statement.
Fight club is a movie that makes a very bold statement of modern times, society, commercialism, and how people no longer think for themselves. People who can not recognize this film for the genius of portraying our modern times are stuck in exactly what this film criticizes
The movie starts with the narrator(who remains nameless)speaking of how he is fed up with society. He then encounters a character tyler durden who teaches him to start living and thinking for himself. THe mvoie demostrates in very direct manners on how we as a society depend on the media and society to dictate what we think. A way for these men, in this case, to break free from these barriers is to fight senselessly with each other for no reason, to tap the pre-commercialism man and bring it out upon the forefront of your character.
As this goes on, the fight clubs get larger and larger, and the narrator starts to become self centered in the sense that the fight club evolves from something that benefits him, to something that no longer benefits himself, but all around him. The film is soaked with irony in that it demonstrates that there are leaders and followers, and it is a part of mankind, and that some people are inherently weaker willed and weaker minded then others, the weaker willed and weaker minded are the folks who will not get this film.
