Best of 1999...

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2010)

1999 was such a great year for film!! I mean "The Matrix" "American Beauty" " Run Lola Run" "Toy Story 2" AND "Fight Club"! Out of all those films I mentioned Fight Club deserved the Oscar for Best Screenplay, Directing and Picture over them by a landslide!!This has to be one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It really forced me to think of the point of life and whether like them I need some crutch( for them it was Fight Club) to make me feel alive. I really think that Fight Club deserved the honour of an Oscar way more than American Beauty, and just because of that it obstructs my ability to enjoy American Beauty.
The whole storyline is very original and entertaining at the same time. It kept me glued to my seat, waiting to see how "Jack"(played by the amazing Edward Norton), if you will, would handle the whole situation. I love the fact that they put little flashes of Brad Pitt in scenes for like a split second before "Jack" is aware Tyler. This film was created by a very meticulous director and it really shows that he paid attention to every little detail. The ending was such a shock, for a moment I was thinking I don't know how this movie could get any better, and then they put in that HUGE twist;also because of that twist the movie is even more enjoyable the second time around, and the third time and the fourth time.
Another thing I liked was that Jared Leto played Angel Face, I thought it was pretty funny since I remember him in " My So-Called Life" and now that he is the band 30 seconds to Mars. I just thought that was pretty cool, especially cause I didn't recognize him at all.
Anyways, Fight Club is a great film, definitely the best of '99. You won't regret watching it.
