Flight Club, the story owes much of its timeless magnificence to the book's author Chuck Palahniuk, who often finds a way to put generic human flaw on display in an in-your-face kind of way. One could read the book or watch the movie and still come away with the same twisted sense of confusion that the story about the meaninglessness of life provides. But Fight Club the movie is exemplary of how to use film to enhance story telling, as opposed to simply making a story more appealing to the masses. (Which is the downfall of so many works literature turned to movies) The film makes the viewer aware of only what the man character (played by Edward Norton) is aware of. We see the same illusion's that his insomnia induces. Our perception of reality is comparably distorted. (Especially regarding Tyler Durden) The effects of the movie make it enjoyable to the more primitive watcher, who saw the title "Fight Club" and noticed an opportunity to see some good fight sequences and a whole lot of blood. The three main characters of the film, (Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brad Pitt) all fit together to form a revealing picture of the modern human's condition-alone, misguided, and above all empty.
