When a young man of the city who is trapped in his own boring life

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2011)

Edward Norton's character is the main character of the film. He speaks throughout the movie through 1st person point of view and is Tyler Durden's sidekick. At first he is a well-dressed, tired, and hardworking man who is quiet. He transforms into a "manly" man when he meets Tyler and becomes contented with life. Tyler Durden is the other main character who technically forms fight club and leads the narrator to become what he always wanted to be. He is rough and tough. He smokes habitually and is harsh. He is portrayed this way to be more of a man than the narrator. He will fight anyone, and never takes no for an answer. The other main character is Marla. She is a cigarette addicted, suicidal woman, who also attends the support group meetings for amusement. She is dark and dirty, which contributes to her psycho personality and messed up life. The stuck in life woman has a love affair with Tyler and continues a tense and awkward relationship with the Narrator. Most incidences in this film occur in the basement of a bar, a giant decrepit house, or strings of other bars across the country. The basement of the main bar in which Fight Club is practiced is no finished basement. It has concrete floors and walls, and rickety columns. It was dirty and dark; perfect for fighting bloody fights. The big and crumbling house is the two main characters' home. It becomes the base of Fight Club turned Project Mayhem and gives the same effect as the basement of the bar. Something that really sticks a picture in your mind would be when narrator relays how Tyler believed that making soap with fat from the plastic surgery clinic was a great way to serve American Women, "their fat asses back to them." It was satisfying to see the look of women's faces if they ever found out that they were rubbing their own fat back on to themselves. It was a hilarious way to get the audience into the mind of Tyler Durden; a truly sharp and entertaining character. The camera jumps around constantly. It helps the film with the action and the confusion that the characters experience throughout the movie and was therefore a good choice on the producer's part. The music is a mix of rock, metal, and dark techno. It adds to the overall confusing and dark theme of the film along with the camera angles. If you are looking for a great movie that will make you sit down and think about a crazy man's words or if you are just looking for something action packed, Fight Club is for you. It is a superb film that will have you thinking long after viewing.
