An unforgettable cult classic

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2005)

This is a story of a man with something missing in his life. He doesn't necessarily know what it is, but its missing. And with a chance encounter with another person, his life changes. For the better or for the worse is for the viewer to decide.
When I first viewed this film, I was 14 years old and a freshman in high school. I bought it right off the shelf without having previously seen it, because I heard it was good. I watched it the night that I bought it, and was changed somehow. I knew that I liked it, but I wasn't sure why. So I watched it again. And again. And again; 6 times over the following 2 weeks. And when I got familiarized with the philosophy and artistic value, it became even better.
The flawless direction, the superb writing, and the perfect casting make this dark comedy one of the best films ever made, and also my favorite movie. Its more than just a movie, its a work of art. Its a great piece of literature converted to the screen.
Fight Club can change your life if you give it a chance. It did for me. It gives people a new take on how life can be lived. A new take on what you are as a human being and what you can become. Its an instant classic and a movie should be viewed by everyone who is unsure of themselves.
